I've used SD cards that die after awhile, sadly it happens too often. It's worth a shot to run it from stock but the rom itself is technically on the internal memory not the external. There are apps out there for recovery for pictures and some files but personally I've never used them or had to really

Hey everyone, I have a rooted DINC, used unrevoked and i'm running cyanogenmod 7. I have a stock 2GB card that is running out of space and i need to upgrade my card. If i upgrade to a bigger card is that going to mess with my root? i know that the Clockwork mod recovery files are on the current SD card.. what do i have to do to make this a smooth transition? I've already backed up my current files from the stock sd card.. Any help is much appreciated!
I don't think it will be a problem and if it is you'll just have to reroot which isn't difficult really
Backup your current SD card on to your computer, then place the files on the new card. Probably want to make sure the new card is formatted fat32 as well. It should be fine, you shouldn't lose anything. Clockworkmod just keeps your backup files on SD card, wont mess with root.

Thanks! that's what i wanted to know. One more thing... I can't find what class microsd card the Incredible comes with stock, when i buy a new card can i get a class 2, or should i shoot for a 6 or something. I wasn't sure if a class 2 card would be fast enough to handle the custom recoveries and all that..
Can't remember for sure but I think the stock card is class 2. I'd say that a class 2 or 4 would be fine. Not sure that the extra $$ for a class 6+ is really worth it, for our phones at least.

No you wont have to reroot. Copy all of your SD contents into a folder on your computer, then power your phone off, switch to the new card, power on, connect to PC, recopy all your files back to your card. That way you won't lose any files. Root has nothing to do with the SD card btw so don't worry about that.
If I've helped you show me a little thanks!
hi. i have a question. im gonna buy a new SD card for my phone (4gig or an 8gig) and since im rooted and have cm7 and did the trans status bar patch, im wondering if im going to have to re-root/re-flash/re-patch all 3 again when i switch out memory cards? thanks for ur help.
I'm not sure what the trans flash deal is, but you shouldn't have any trouble. Just copy everything over from the old to new and continue on. Your phone will run fine without any card in it, although you'll be missing anything installed on the card, of course.
I think when you something flash to phone, you don´t need to keep the zip on SD. When you something flash, its copy to internal memory. So you can plug new SD with no fear.
aright thank u both. ill just have to backup the apps i have installed to my sd card. again, thanks for ur help.
2 things I can think of, first check the type of microSD card, it should be at least a class 4, and check to see if your ROM can do App2SD and take advantage of it
I formatted my SD card to Fat32. was having SD card damaged issues a couple weeks ago, but havent since I formatted form PC and then again on phone. The issue I'm having now is everytime i reboot my pictures/files get erased. I can take 10 pictures, reboot...gone. phone boots up and I can take 10 more picts, reboot...GONE!
ANY IDEAS HERE!?????
Do you get the same results with another SD card?
I donhave another micro sd card. is this something that could be ROM related or does this sound like a bad sd card?
Since you have had issues with the card previously, i would lean more to the card being bad.
What ROM are you running?
Bean R2. I ran 3.1 and V5 then V6 and had issues and worse battery life than R2. so I went back to R2.
My guess is it was the SD card. I found my spare 32 class 10 lexar, formatted and haven't had an issue since.

I'm facing this same issue on the galaxy note. Suddenly it started to be a pain every reboot the data is gone although its in the card via file manager .. I don't think its the SD card eithhrr in my case
I just got this phone today. I rooted with OneSuperclick without any issues; however, I am running into storage problems right now. I don't have a microsd card on hand to store kernel and custom rom. Currently, I cannot save any files to my "SD Card" (internal memory). How can I go about flashing it now? I have 384MB left.
I've never had these issues before rooting other phones.
you need an sd card to put the rom you want to flash on. you can't even flash from internal memory because it needs to be mounted and unmounted for the flashing, I think anyways.
Spend $5 and buy a 2 or 4 gig one, they're cheap now.
I was just confused cause I had no issues before with rooting and flashing a Samsung Captivate and Galaxy SII without a SD Card, so I was wondering what the issue was.
Thanks!

I'm currently going through this sane issue this is very frustrating for me. I have 3 64gb micro sd cards that i bought that has been coming up as corrupted on my phone. 2 of them I bought on Amazon for $20 both sandisk, i figured since it's probably one of the fake sd cards that has to be the problem. This micro sd that I literally just bought from best buy is showing up as corrupted as well, i formatted it using the the android system rebooted my phone and the same thing occurred, i honestly didnt start having sd card problems until i updated to 6.0 I really just want to know why is this happening and is there any kind of fix to this.
My last resort is to go back to katana rom and try again. If that doesn't work then I'm either getting an replacement device ir a new phone

So I totally forgot that I post in this thread, to make a long story short it was something wrong with MM on my device where every memory card [except my old 16gb SD] instantly gave me a corrupt message, so what I did was downgrade back to LP to test my theory to see if it was my SD or MM and I've had 0 problems so far. Didn't get a corruption message the second the sd card was placed, i mounted and uncounted the sd card several times and had 0 problems. All my apps are linking with Link2sd effortlessly on my Samsung sd card I bought a few days ago, so I'm concluding that something went wrong with MM.

Really?.... I completely believe that ....I only had marshmallow on my G4 for a day or two before I downgraded to lollipop I like lollipop a lot more ..I get twice as much battery time now so I totally believe this what you're saying about your SD card... Unfortunately I think Android regressed with the release of marshmallow

I was enjoying MM for the simple fact that I'm able to video call people. I had to test out my theory by placing my Samsung sd card that I formatted on my laptop, in my LG L70 running cm13 and had 0 errors. I also rebooted the phone to see if it'll corrupt after starting up like it did in my lg g Stylo and again 0 errors. I then switched my sanddisk sd that was in my stylo and put it into my L70 and no errors popped up. I then formatted my Samsung on my laptop and right when I placed the sd card in my stylo, BAM! sd card corruption, so at that point I knew it either had to be MM or my phone, the only strange think like I said was My 16gb I had since the Sidekick phone era worked flawlessly every time when I had MM installed.

That is strange.....I wunder if it is mm doing it..... What exactly is it in the operating system that's making it do that......also when you would format your SD card did you format it the same every time or did you mess a round with it and try FAT32 fat16 so on and so forth?...iv owned the l70 and the stylo and didn't have any problems....well I bricked both phones but no problem with the sd cards........ Are you making sure to unmount the SD card every time before you remove it?... I'm really curious now I would like to know what it is that was making it do that just for my own curiosity sake

I have no clue bro, I try to figure out why it was doing it in MM and not LP. I formatted both sd cards with their default settings and when I partitioned them I followed a guide to do it the right way.
