Long story short I need to reformat my external card and do a whole factory reset on my S5. A while back someone told me I could copy the contents of my external card over to a folder on my pc then return the files after formatting the card. This did not work. I have backup pro which does its job well. It backs up everything on the phone itself not external card. I want to be able to save all apps, settings and data. When I try to backup to a cloud with backup pro I get an error message. Hope someone responds.

Whenever I try to restore a backup from the external sd card, I get an error and am unable to go on any further. I luckily had backups stored on the internal, which worked fine. Has anyone else had this issue?

Do you mess with them in any way by renaming them after performing a backup? If not, the issue may be with your sd card. Have you tried reformatting it then seeing if these issues continue?

My computer just passed away, so now I'm left with my HTC One and my iPad. I need format my SD Card without a computer, so I obviously would like to keep some of my data. Is that possible? Can I just partition the SD Card? Help!
Heuu soryy you cant or maybe sd partitioner is existing as an apk

I don't believe that you can.
"Formatting", by definition wipes all the data on your SD card.
What about backing it up to a cloud service of your choice,or just email the things you want to keep ....to yourself,at least you can keep your pics an stuff,I do that for my build prop mods and apks I have on my SD when I'm not around my PC.

Try AirDroid , to transfer stuff to your iPad over WiFi
Then partition/format, open up AirDroid again, drop your contents back to phone.
Note: only works if u have a small amount of data to transfer around

Hey, guys! I think I need you help here! I have accidentally deleted some phone photos that have been taken with my families. I have remembered all of them have been stored on the inner memory card, not phone internal memory card. So, it is possible for me to get back all my deleted pictures? Any idea could be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

My ways may help you out:
1). Keep this phone memory card way from any newly taken photos or new files in case of any data loss.
2). Connect this card to your computer with a card Reader.
3). Try to restore your lost memory card photos back with a phone card data recovery program, like 4Card Recovery, Recuva, PhotoRec and more.
4). Save and back up all restored photos on another drive or place in case of data loss.
Note: Never format a phone memory card without data backup again.

There are a lot of ways to Recover data from SD Cards. There a billion softwares to recover data from sd cards. You can try some of these:
*Steller Phoenix Photo Recovery

Just connect your device to the computer using USB cable and mount usb storage.
I used to have to have a 32gb MicroSD card in my Note 3 which i used to use for my files. After I rooted my phone, I thought it would be a good idea to store my TWRP backups to my MicroSD card as it frees up internal storage but however after I initially made my 1st backup to my card, the system booted up and apparently the card was blank. I know this to be false as I have loads of photos on it and I selected the MicroSD card in recovery to make my nandroid backup to and after like 3 minutes, it was made.
Question is. How do I get my MicroSD card back to normal. I'm aware of formatting it and then mounting it in recovery but I don't want to lose my files on the card. I inserted the card into my laptop and the command prompt said it had a RAW file system.

Would I use that after I format my card and which file system should I format it to so TWRP can recognize it

I used Recuva. It's from the people that make CCleaner. Worked for me. But honestly, don't let it restore files that are partially damaged, because if they're music or photos or videos, they won't play/display correctly, and it'll cause wakelocks from the media scanner until you find and delete them.

Don't reformat, just put the microSD card into your computer (with an adapter, or with something that will let it show up as mass storage, not MTP). Point Recuva to the card. It'll tell you what files are partially restorable and fully restorable. Like I said, don't restore the damaged stuff. From experience, what'll happen if you do is you're gonna get wake locks and no app will be able to tell you which files are damaged. So you'll end up having to format the entire card anyways to get rid of the wake lock/damaged files.

I've formatted the MicroSD card as I had a backup of the files on my laptop and everything seems to be working fine.

Hello, why have google removed the ability to move data to ext (micro sd card)? This was all good when you wanted to back up everything to install a new rom using titanium backup but using folder mount just doesn't feel right will they ever bring this back? I never had problems with it that way, if i have big games you know they're getting bigger all the time, i could just have the data on the sd card but now we can't it was easy to back everything up as the data was already on the sd card so if i got a new phone i could just put the sd card in the new phone and all the data is still there and wouldn't have to worry about storage, is there anything i can do to have more storage without having to partition the sd card or anything like that something simple so that people who don't want to root their phones can do it to, i know you need root for titatium but thats okay

Root n Swap.. And no more options available for now..
Thanks, do you think they will bring the option of saving data to ext sd back, like in the old android versions?
