adb shell ums_enable to mount

adb shell ums_disable to unmount

I have a Kingston 8Gig Class 4 and i just bought a Transcend 8Gig Class 6 SDCard.
Can someone please tell me step by step how to backup my class 4 to and restore it to my new Class 6.
Thanks in advance!
ubuntu is the easiest way believe it or not as it is the only o that will see ur partition when u mount ur sd card. check out the wubi installer. or u can use adb.
adb remount
adb pull system/sd/app to pull the apps off, just replace pull with push when u want to put them back on the ext.
i can't recall the exact thread in this Q&A section but there was one that showed how to backup /system/sd to your sdcard then you could pull those files off on a computer and put them on the new sdcard then copy them back over to the second partition.
i think they were something like
Code:
mkdir sdcard/ext2 (the directory name doesn't matter just whatever is easiest for you to remember)
cp /system/sd /sdcard/ext2
someone correct me if something is wrong with those. then put those files on your new sdcard and go to the recovery console so you won't have to worry about any force closes with the new sdcard. make sure you do this after partitioning your new sdcard
Code:
mount /system
mount /sdcard
mkdir /system/sd
cp /sdcard/ext2 /system/sd
i think the commands were something like that. but if you have adb then the way posted above is the easiest for me.

Why don't you just use backup(for root) users application? just copy the folder it creates on your sdcard to your drive, and place into the new sdcard.
@David, I think those commands would work, but here's what I always do (and can verify it works).
Code:
rm -r /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
rm -r /system/sd/app_s/*
cd sdcard
mkdir ext
cp /system/sd/* /sdcard/ext/
Then to push back
Code:
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/*
cp /sdcard/ext/* /system/sd/
reboot
Its best to do all that in the recovery console, or adb shell when the phone is in recovery. Don't do it while the phone has booted in the ROM.
Thanks for all the help/reply...
one more question... how do i do it? do i do it in the terminal? console? or adb?
What they just gave you would be done in terminal.

I said at the bottom of my post. Recovery console is best, if you do it when your phone is actually running you could have issues.

Well yeah, ideally when the phone is in recovery...
i have a Desire and im wondering if there's a easier way to clone the sd card to another bigger. Any idea ? Cloning softwares ?
What about just dd the SD card. something like:
1. Turn off the phone
2. dd sd card to img file
3. dd img to new file
4. New sd in slot and reboot
I just received my new class 6 SD card in the mail today, and I was wondering how I can transfer all my files over to it. I don't mean like music and stuff like that, but like my Apps2SD. I don't exactly know what all I have to transfer over, but if someone can give me the adb commands and what I'm trying to transfer, that would be great.
Go to the recovery console
mount /sdcard
mkdir /sdcard/ext
cp /system/sd/* /sdcard/ext/
the copy the ext folder to your new card, put it in your phone and go back to recovery
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
cp /sdcard/ext/* /system/sd/
I've probably made a couple of mistakes with mounting the partitions correctly, so you may have to mount /sdcard on the second batch of commands.

Use Adrian's method
awesome, i've been wanting to know how to do this myself so this will definitely come in useful.
B-man007 said:
pretty sure the adb command is
adb pull /system/sd/*
then use adb push to get it back on the new one.
that should get everything on your ext partition. (note: do this while phone is booted into the rom. else you will need to mount the ext partition)
(if you need clarification, dont mind asking)

What? Pushing apps to the ext is not a good idea when the phone is in the ROM (when I tried half of them showed and half of those FCed)
You can easily mount your ext - mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd

i don't push i use adb install that way all of them get installed and i don't have the problem with certain apps not showing up right.
you say that like i want to type a really long command, i just use adb remount, or if i am forced to use my phones keyboard for command i just go to the recovery console and use mount system or mount system/sd depending on how specific i feel . (i hate typing commands on the g1s keyboard, and its and epic fail if you mess a long one up.)

easiest way i have done this is do a switchrom backup, make sure its saved to your old sd, get your new sd partitioned correctly, and copy the switchrom folder from your old sd to your new one, then do the normal steps to restore a switchrom backup... this will restore your rom to the exact moment it was when you saved it. had me back up and running in 10 minutes after a new sd was here.
Thanks so much for the help guys, I just noticed that I left my USB cord at work :/, so tomorrow I'll get back to you guys about this.

ya i started my response and saw you already answered so i was like mehhhh
i wrote my own script to do all this stuff below for me, and its done through the recovery.
Back up apps
Remove app_s folder
Reformat ext3 partition
Restore apps
Enter Recovery
SwitchRom Backup/Restore
Clear Dalvik-Cache
adb push while booted works fine for me, it just slows the crap outta the phone for a good 2-3 minutes, but it works fine. i use push because adb install hasnt always worked 100% for me (i have ~130 apps, and some of them don't install.)
anyways ill edit out my post to stop confusion
i have no more then 40 apps so adb install doesn't really flunk out on me
the only thing i don't like is the protected apps that show up in the fugly system default app icon and the long name.
does anyone know to mount the g1 to the pc using the recovery console
if you're running amon-ra's recovery, there should be an option that allows you to mount your g1 to the pc.

using adb or by choosing console you can issue the command
ums_enable
then to disable
ums_disable
and I can't find the shorter way of mounting your SD card in your console.
I know it's something like
mount something something enable
Anyone know it?
Never mind found it but it doesn't seem to work!
My phones ****ed.
Evrytime I type in ums_enable this comes out
/dev/block/mmcblk/
And nothing happens
why not mount the usb by the recovery menu and use adb instead.
adb shell is the same thing as console.
I've never used ADB :/
Okay now it everytime I click on apply and zip from SD i get
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 p1 (or dev/block/mmcblk0) (no such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:
Dunno the actual command, but Amon_RA's recovery has the option build in.
I would definitley get Amon Ra's Recovery on your phone.....
From there it has an option to toggle usb on or off (which will mount your sdcard so your pc can see it)
Also it can partition your sdcard.
IMO Amon Ra's Recovery should be part of your "rooting" process.
In the instructions from this article:

it is said that mounting the /system partition from recvovery is possible but I don't find find any option for that... So, is it a mistake or is there really an option to do it?

using a computer with adb set up, connect to usb and on computer, in command prompt, type:
adb shell mount -a
(should mount /system rw. Just did it and it did for mine)
It is possible in AmonRa's recovery. Go to console and type "mount /system" without the quotes. This can also be for "mount /sdcard" "mount /system/sd" and any partition in fstab.

Hello... not on a nexus one.
A) No console on nexus recovery because
B) It has no physical keyboard.
Oh ****... I thought I was in the Dream forum. My bad!
So I guess it was just a mistake in the article and that only ADB mount will do the trick. Thanks guys
