Need help with transferring date from one microSD card to another? - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm getting a new microSD card for my SHIELD Tablet. The card I have inside currently is being used as adoptable storage. I want to transfer everything from that card to a new one I'm getting. Is there a simple way to backup everything and just have it auto reinstall or something like this? I don't want to have manually reinstall everything if I don't have to. Also i am not rooted.
Someone mentioned something about cloning SD cards for a raspberry pi, so would this potentially work for a micro SD card?

if anyone could provide assistance, that would be helpful

I don"t think you can clone adopted sd card. It has two partitions: 1st 16mb(infos, fat32), 2nd rest gb, ext4, encrypted. New sd card has another name & s.n., it will be not recognized.
You can move all apks you can to internal memory, rest of data copy to PC. You can use google backup too.
Set old card as public, eject it and insert new. Set it as adopted and copy data back from PC.
I think you can loose something from the folder /Android.
Without root & twrp backup&restore everything is impossible. @toph the earthbdner

sd card

How to i see my sd card on my computer so i can put things onto it? Im rooted and have cmw
It's under "removable" and you will see "microsd." Also, if you end up not being able to mount it, make a partition on your uSD card and that will probably solve the problem..
only thing to show up is the the internal storage. How do i creat a partition?
Ok i found the sd card. Its under device storage. It wont let me put anything on it though
All im wanting to do is put a custom rom on my sd card so i can flash it.
Make sure that your SD card is formatted in a way that your computer can read it. For best compatibility, format it as FAT32. You'll probably need to plug it into a computer in order to do this, which probably defeats the point in trying to do this using the device as a huge SD card reader.
Also, if your card -is not- the microSD card, make sure that it is not ticked to the 'lock' direction. On normal sized SD cards, there is a moveable nub.
Check to see if you can write files to the SD card FROM the Transformer. If you can, the alternative is to download the rom file to your Transformer, and then put it on the SD card from there.
Bumping your thread/making multiple subsequent posts won't make it so that you receive assistance quicker. If anything, it will make people ignore you because You are a Noob. You hate yourself(azrienoch, YouTube, 2011).
i can see it fine on the transformer. Could it be something wrong with cmw. How do i reformat it.
Plug your SD card into the computer, and use your disk management software that ships with your computer. If you're on Mac OS X, use Disk Utility. If you're on Linux, use cfdisk or fdisk.
On my machine(windows xp), if in windows explorer I click on
Transformer TF101 - Portable Media Player,
I get two different options
Internal Storage or Micro SD
This was after an update to the ASUS sync software though.
Originally I could only see the MicroSD was through
Internal Storage->MicroSD
When accessed through the tranformer, this is not writable. This is a limitation of sd cards. You can't have two hosts with write access.
The other way is to put it in internal storage, then use the transformer's File manager and copy from the SDcard, and move it to /Removable/MicroSD
Ok the sync program i downloaded is not in english. Its the one fromthewebsite too
Can you clarify if it is a SDCard(in the dock), or a microSD card(in the tablet)?
You can't see the dock storage from a pc, I believe. I also think you can't install roms from the dock.
Sorry i probably didnt know what the dock meant then.
It is in my tablet. I plug it into the computer. If i go to computer and look at it it says. Asus Transformer tf101. Click on it again and it says device storage and thats it. Its like it cant see my sd card at all. Is there a way to go into usb mode or something so my pc can see it? Also on my sd card all it says is lost. something. Shouldnt there be more since i rooted it. I got su functions
I think that you should be able to see it through internal storage, either Removable folder, or microsd folder.
If not, just copy it to the internal memory, and cut/paste it through the transformer file manager

[Q] Moving contents from microSD card to new SDcard

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.

Potential issues copying data from SD card to SD card?

I purchased a larger SD card and was wondering how to transfer data from my old one to it. Does rooting the phone and having that modified info? on the SD card change the steps in any way? And what are the steps? After doing some initial reading I have been led to believe it's not quite as simple as copying the data from one to another on a computer. Something about hidden files that wouldn't be copied correctly?

Using micro sd from android 6.0 on an android 5.1 device.

I am wanting to use my micro SD as the title indicates without formatting and losing all the data. I Would really appreciate anyone who can help.
I'm pretty sure you can insert the same sd card to any device and be able to access it. If anything, backup the information in your sd card first in case anything happens

Move the files from the microSD to PC then after the files are removed, put the microSD in the new device and format it, then after its formatted, move your files from PC to microSD.
If you don't have a PC, put the microSD in another device then move the files from microSD to that devices internal storage then remove the microSD and put it in the new device then format the microSD using that device, then remove the microSD and put it back in the device that you moved the files to and move the files back to microSD then remove it from that device and put it back in the new device, then you'll have all of your data on that device.

SD Card formatted as internal / adaptable storage is not recognized anymore.

Basically I have an SD Card that I formatted as internal memory. It has worked well for about a year now. Today though, the phone told me that the card had been removed and that I should re-insert it. At the same time, it tells me that the very same cards format is incompatible and I have to format it in order to use it. All this while I never removed the card. The phone is a Moto G5 running Pixel Experience.
What I've tried so far is rebooting the phone and taking the card out and inserting it again, in various orders. Inserting the card into various computers, none of which recognize it (as expected). GPartEd shows the space on the card as not allocated.
Is there anything I could do to make that card be recognized again? Or else, to get the data off of it?
If this is not the right forum for this question, please tell me, or, if you're an admin, please move the thread.
When you converted external SD-card to Adoptable Storage it got formatted as internal memory and also encrypted as internal memory is.
AFAIK there is no chance to recover the data stored on because they are AES-encrypted.
