Hello, I am looking to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142844
with my 64GB microsd card thats currently in my phone (Ive backed up all files on it) but I do not have access to an adapter. My computer can only fit SD cards in it and not micro. Is there a way to partition my microsd card while it is still inside my phone, so I can continue past step 1 of this walkthrough?

I just purchased a 16GB micro SDHD card to put in my TF. Currently i'm running prime v1.5. I've formatted the micro sd card to FAT32 file system. When I insert it directly into the TF (not the dock) the TF recognizes and prepares the micro SDHD card when booted in the Android OS. I ran titanium backup and pointed the backup directory to my removable storage card. The process completed successfully.
Now the problem i'm having is getting CWM to successfully mount the removable storage card so I can run a nandroid backup. When I try to mount the card it simply gives me an error saying cannot mount sdcard. Is there something I need to do to get this to work? Any help is greatly appreciated.
bump - can anyone offer some advice on how to get this working?
The only thing you can do, it's change the sd.
I have the same problem and the only solution it's to use a 2gb old sd that works in cmw, so i can do a nandbackup and restore and the 16gb sd for anything else...

really? so 16GB cards dont work in CWM for anything? Just the smaller cards is all? Nobody on this forum has gotten a 16gb to work yet? I'll await a few more replies, if no solutions then off to Fry's to get another msdhd card, 2GB that is.

No, 16gb cards works on cmw, but not all the sdcards...
You aren't lucky, only this.
I have bought another 16gb in class 10 that works perfectly with cmw.
But the solution don't change, the problem is the sd, not the program, sorry for you
my 16gb works with CWM.

My Sandisk 32GB Class 10 works as well. (In case you're shopping for a new one.)
Have you tried booting into recovery mode without the MicroSD card inserted and then inserting and tried mounting once CWM has been loaded?
Ive a 16GB MicroSD from Toshiba which will only mount in CWM on my HTC Desire HD inif it's not present when CWM starts but will mount 100% of the time if I do the above.
In my TF I use a 32GB Lexar MicroSD this works fine for reference.
Hi all!
I got a rooted and modded LG GT540 and I use a partitioned 4GB SD card (1 ext2 and 1 main partition).
Now I want to put a new 8GB or 16GB card on my phone. Is there a way to copy all the layout of the old card and build the new in such a way that it will be directly recognized by the phone, so that I dont set again the phone from the beginning?
Please help.
Thanks!
Hi there, just copy paste. If yo have a SD card reader use the computer for the new card and the phone as external disk. Copy your phone's SD card and replaces it with the new one. I recommend to stay with the original brand of the SD card which is often Sandisk.
But wouldn't that just copy data and not the partitions?

And that's exactly why I started this thread. I could just do the obvious and try to copy everything. However I believe there are some issues if you' re about moving to a larger SD. For instance, what about the ext2 partition. Should it be the same size? Should it be the same percentage against main partition?
Hi all,
Im new here.
The 2GB microSD card on my ChaCha is full at the moment with pictures,apps, games etc and I want to move all the contents to a new 8GB card.
How to I go about doing that? Do I manually copy/cut all the contents from the 2Gb microSD card onto the hard-drive on my PC and then move it over to the new microSD card or do I sync everything to my PC using HTC sync then onto the new microSD card?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
I have tried the "copy contents to computer hard drive then move it over to the new microSD" method and it seems to work just fine. If you are using links2sd/apps2sd scripts, of course they won't work anymore because the computer won't read the ext partition of sd card. Just keep your old microSD as a backup in case the new sd card causes trouble to your phone
Thanks

I'd use my PC to copy everything. It's the easiest way. Don't know any other way, but guess that it's so easy that no one thought of making a tool for it.
Suddenly, my 32gb Sandisk microsd is not reading on either my phone or the card reader of my PC. I was doing a nandroid in TWRP. It finished, but, after reboot...nada. It's like the card isn't there. Is there anything I can do? I have a lot of pics on the card I definitely want. The other stuff, not such a big deal.
From what I've been able to search and find, I don't think there is a software solution here. Any weird tricks I can try? Thank you.

Where you trying to parttion the sd card using CWM recovery or were you just making a nandroid backup ? If you want to partition the sd card its better to use a software on pc than using CWM recovey since CWM is known to have bugs in the past.
I would advise you to download a partitioning software called minitool (free version available) from the internet and install it on the pc.
Then insert the sd card in the card reader and plug it to the pc. Now run minitool and if it detects your sd card repartition and format it.
If it doesn't then it is possible that the sd card is damaged. When you buy a new sd card try to partition it with minitool because it is far more reliable.:good:

Hi there,
Have you tried another sd-card? Or reformat sd in recovery?
That's the first I should have tried, and in that order.

Recover DELETED files from you sd card, even on your PC.
Good luck
