So I switched sd cards to a new 8gb class 6 one. I'm running mlign 3.2B right now. So what I did is I took all the stuff off the root of the card and put it in a folder on my computer. Then I opened up recovery with the new card in and put everything back on. When I rebooted it just loops at the htc screen with the android.

You never transfered all the files in the ext2/3 partition over. I would make a full BART backup including the ext partition on the old sdcard, copy the files from the backup to the new sdcard, and just restore it from there to get a full copy of your ext partition back.

well instead, I just did the following: in recovery I partitioned at 128, 512, and rest, then I did ext to 3 then 4. Then I rebooted to recovery, put the rom on, wiped data, dalvik, and ext, then I flashed the rom. Then it says htc provider has stopped working, along with google maps.
Did you format the ol card?
You could do the EXT+Nandroid option in Amon_RA.

well I did this just with it straight out of the box so no. Should I format it, and how?
every time I unmount the card it's fine, but once I remove the card the phone restarts.

did you ever format your card for the same setup?

Are you starting from a fresh wipe?
I suggest you set up your card with all the partitions you want
but just for a 8gb and not a 2gb. Your fat32 is now bigger.(or would be in my case.)
yes i did a fresh wipe on the phone and reformatted my 8gb the same way i did my 2gb. i have 7gb of fat32 on it. its really weird cuz i dont understand why it would not boot passed the android screen
You need to copy over your ext partition as well as the fat32.. it has all your apps on it.

Recovery : RAs 1.3.2
Rom: MLIGN 3.0
SD: 8 gig class 2
Love MLIGN but obviously my sd is the only problem keeping my phone running smooth, so I am upgrading my SD to a class 6. Is there anything special that I need to do since my phone is already running MLIGN and RAs when I pop in the new sd? (i.e. partition?)
Thank you in advance!
you won't have apps on your ext unless you pull them on adb then push then onto the new card.

no because ext partition is linux, windows wont see the partition. i use paragon partition manager and just copy the partitions from my sd card

Is the right way popping in the sd card, partitioning it, then adding the apps?
If it wouldnt be to much to ask, can someone take me step by step, or advise if the above method in red will work.
Thank you in advance
Well you need an ext file browser
try extfs browser by paragon
open up the ext partition on the SD. Take the folders app, app_private, and put them on your computer
partition the card, plug it in, and copy over the folders back onto the new ext partition
Hi there to everybody. i have a Tmobile G1 :
Installed Htc Hero Sense, Firmware version is 1.5. I have 1gb micro sd card on it when i root the phone. now i am replacing it with 8gb micro sd card.
every time i put the 8gb sd card on it, the phone keeps freezing and will not continue to boot up. i then returned the 1 gb sd card and the phone is working properly. how can i change the sd card to a bigger capacity without the phone freezing? do i have to re-root and restart the whole process on the phone? any help, guides will help. Thank you in advance.
......umm...lol..imma leave this one alone
just copy the content of the old sdcard, some Hero rom store some info there
it wont hurt to try it
also, did you have any partitions on the old sd?
partition your sd card and flash a 1.6 rom with auto a2sd
I did try to copy the whole contents of the sd card, but it does same thing, freezing and it wont boot up.
using 1 gb flash the Amon RA recovery image....and then do a Bart Backup...this backup will backup all your apps and also the rom..then put that backup file and put into the new sd card...and then go into recovery and do a bart restore....

Um...partly true but you don't need to install a 1.6 donut ROM
TO OP
You have to repartition your SD card (~7400 MB Fat32, 512 EXT3, 96-128 Swap?) whichever you want.
If you want to reinstall all your paid/free apps, then you will have to back them up on your 1 GB card using a backup app (App manager, astro) or just use Mybackuppro if you want to back up everything (contacts, data, etc)
transfer the backupped files back onto your newly partitioned 8 GB card. Boot up the phone with the new card in it, and reinstall all your apps
OR the easier way (but you lose all your data)
Partition card
wipe phone/dalvik/ etc
fresh Reinstall
The old sd card appeared to be partioned.
you need to make sure your swap and ext. partition is the same size as the one you have on your old one. ex. if your 1gb have 96swap, 512ext. then your new one should have the same swap and ext size. rest goes to fat32. First thing you should do is do a nan + ext. backup using the recovery image. Then copy everything from the old SD card to the new SD card. Then do a nan restore. That should restore everything on your phone plus whatever is stored in the ext. partition. The likely cause of your phone freezing is because the stuff in the ext. partition is not there anymore.

what he said
when i got my mytouch coming from a g 1i simply did what the guy did above me and with amon_ra's recovery its very simply
The Unlockr.com has a tutorial thats very helpfull if you need a visual. I was a nubie once and visuals always helped.
[Solved]Okay, I currently have a 2gb (don't even know the brand) MicroSD in my rooted Dream/G1. I am running SuperD 1.10.2. I have Apps2SD setup already. I just bought a PNY 4gb Class 4 MicroSD yesterday and I want to use it. How do i transfer EVERYTHING to it? And will I have to re-install all the apps that were installed on the 2gb card?
Thanks, xKr4zex

The possibilities.....
You could do it the hard way or the easy way.
Hard way is by using adb and do
command prompt
adb pull /system/sd /sdbackup/sd
and partition your new card using amon_ra recovery
then
command prompt
adb shell
mount -a
exit
cd c:\sdbackup
adb push sd /system/sd
and that should do it.
Easy way
Make a nandroid backup with ext,
save the contents of you sdcard (especially nandroid folder)
partition your new sdcard with amon_ra recovery with your desired ext partition,
restore your backups from your old card,
place new card in phone,
nandroid restore and reboot.
You should be good.
Thanks for the reply. I also wanted to know, if I already have apps2sd and Linux swap enabled, do I have to disable>power off>new card>restore>re enable apps2sd and Linux?

You shouldn't have to re-do anything once your partitions are in place.
If your card is setup like FAT/SWAP/EXT3 (using EXT3 for example) for card 1 then as long as your partitions are FAT/SWAP/EXT3 for card 2 then everything should work just fine. Even if your swap partition is a different size it should be alright. The only thing is that if card 1 (old card) EXT3 partition is 500mb and if you are using 300mb of that card you need to have 300mb+ on card 2 EXT3 partition so that all of your data can fit on there after you do your nandroid restore.
I did this method personally when I went from a 8gb to a 16gb.
Old card was 8gb composed of ~7gb (FAT)/64mb (swap)/500mb (ext3)
New card is 16gb composed of ~13gb (FAT)/96mb (swap)/1gb (ext3)
I simply performed a nandroid+ext backup
Backed up my entire sdcard onto my desktop (including nandroid directory)
Put the new card in and repartitioned with Amon_RA recovery as posted above.
Restored the data from my backup that was on my desktop
Performed a nandroid+ext restore
Done. Very easy.
Just do it. You'll be amazed how complicated your making this.
I just did this this morning before seeing this thread and i did exactly as it says here. I only encountered one problem...My Music playlists didnt transfer how do i get those? I still have my old sd card with all the stuff in it by the way.
Thanks! Solved.

I think there are third party apps that will do that. I'm not sure what file that is exactly.
Quick Question..
Well i just bought a class 6 sd card, can i just copy all the files from my other sd card,to the one i just bought, and it will work fine. Or do i have to put the files on and reflash the rom(DC 2.08)??

What your going to do is, copy all your files from your old SD card to a space on your hard drive. Then, insert the new SD card into your phone, format it, and only after you have formatted inside the phone, you can put your files you copied to your hard drive onto the new SD card. Just drag and drop. Simple.
p.s. This is just what I would do. Might be a faster way

If you are using apps 2 sd, here is what I did. Made a nandroid back up with extension. Copied everything off my sd card to my computer including the nandroid back up. Inserted the new card into the phone and booted into recovery. Partitioned the new card appropriately for apps 2 sd. Copied the files back onto the sd card. Wiped data, dalvick, and ext while in recovery then restored the nandroid back up. Everything should work then.
If you're not running a2sd copy to pc and then on to the new card after you've formatted
