New SD Card.

[Guest 325i]

I am going to replace the normal 4gb card with a 16gb card. Whats the best way of copying all my data and apps over without loosing anything?

Also just to add, im using apps2sd+ so all the apps are on the SD.

Thanks

If you're using apps2sd you would have to copy all files on the ext partition of your old card to the ext partition of the new one. If you're using Ubuntu or some other Linux distro you could just plug in the phone an select "htc sync mode" ... should be easily possible to access the ext of the sd from your desktop and there you should see the dalvik-cache, apps, apps-private folders and be able to copy them.

not sure if there's anything special you have to take care of though.

I think if you're using Apps2SD+, you have to do the partitioning before copypaste

Am i right?

I have found instructions on how to partition the sd,

1. Turn on your phone while holding the volume down button.

2. You will see HBOOT on the screen.

3. Use the volume buttons to move up and down and power button to select the RECOVERY option.

4. You will now see a red triangle on the screen, at this point plug your phone into your PC via your microUSB cable.

5. Double click on recovery-windows.bat inside the pushfiles_windows.zip folder you unzipped as part of the root process.

6. Using the optical trackpad select Partition sdcard > Partition SD

7. Select SWAP=0, EXT2=512 and allow the rest to be FAT32.

8. Select the SD:ext2 to ext3 option in this menu.

9. Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and select Reboot system now. While rebooting, unplug the Desire from the USB port.

I have managed to copy the files using linux reader but unable to copy them with that software. What software can i use?

Found the solution,

if you want to move the whole thing then create a folder on the root of ur C drive and name it: Android

Now transfer everything from ur sdcard to ur computer

adb pull /system/sd C:\Android

then transfer to the new sd card

adb push C:\Android /system/sd
