The simple answer is yes, just take it out of the Eris and put it in the D2, but a question: Did you ever repartition your SD card? If you don't know what that is then most likely not. If you did it would keep your card from working with the D2 as is, but nothing would actually be lost or damaged.
Also if u ever made any backups on your Eris make sure to delete those as im not farmiliar with how cloxkwork works on the locked bootloader of the X, and D2, if they are able to restore backups you certainly wouldn't want to restore one from the Eris. The only reason im not sure is I've been in the incredible and fascinate forums for the past few months and haven't paid attention to DX/D2 development although im actually browsing around as we speak.

Try taking your sdcard out and putting it back in again.

Download a free gallery app from the market and see if your pictures show up with that. If not you can always access them with a file manager like Linda Manager. The pictures should be in /sdcard/DCIM/100 Media.

No, that only wipes the phone's data.

unless u wipe ext as well (assuming ur on app2sd)
I know that when you have apps2sd on a 2.1 Rom and then flash to a froyo one, it'll tell you to reformat your SD to fat32 with no partitions. You said you didn't have apps2sd tho, so that's kinda troubling. When you mount your phone to your computer does the SD come up?

ive mentioned this on another thread but this has happened to my eris once a few weeks ago and twice on an old samsung non android about a year ago and if it gets deleted either a.) an application wrote over it (?) or 1 of 2 things a verizon employee told me that it could be the sd card getting too hot that it wipes it or theres a short in a power cord somewhere that could have caused it thats why i sync pix to my computer every time i use it lol
ok thats just great FML
Is it possible to install a android Rom on the device root or only on the storage card?
Right now we can only use sd cards, but soon we will get nand which will let us to use hd2's memory.

Maybe if you had a PayPal link...
I think the OP was asking if Android can be run from the phones internal storage memory, not nand. Although I cant think of a solid reason anyone would want to do this, idk maybe if you wanted to be able to switch sd cards and keep running the same build idk. Should be able to do from storage memory as long as haret is made to look there rather than the sd card right?
yes right.. but i think its not possible
So the moto devices put the external SD card under mnt/sdcard-ext as everyone here knows. I'm wondering if there is any method to:
1. Have apps like rhapsody use the external card for downloading music
2. Remap using external for things like Gameloft games data
I am rooted and I've been looking at solutions - alsso know that non stock will allow for changing mount points completely, but not quite there yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

cool. Did some Googling and see what it is. Can you point me in the right direction for the photon? If its someplace here I'll search around for it (just say so and I'll drop it). Its late and this after dealing with my two year old and 12 week old today - a bit out of it.

Switch the vold.fstab around.

OK. I see what to do to swap. Rather then swapping it, is there a "better" mount point for the external so that programs like rhapsody would use it properly? I assume using a bind command from shell would be enough to get the Gameloft games moved.... right? Or do most people simply swap internal with external?
Thanks.

I'm curious too, been wondering this for a while but never thought to ask on here.
Is there a step by step guide for doing this or is it going to be too complicated for someone not familiar with coding.? I would love to accomplish this.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
vold.fstab is located in the system/etc folder. You must be rooted to see it. You can change where the mount point is for the external SD card. How to do it is pretty straightforward based on reading the file and Googling. My question is specific to how 'mother's devices deal with the external card and how software like amazon mp3, rhapsody, etc store data to the external SD and how remapping the external SD on the photon would best allow those apps to use the microSD successfully.

Well that would be something the app developers would have to do. The vold.fstab trick is to trick everything in to thinking their switched. Not really a permanent solution. Try contacting the app devs and give as much info as possible including mount points

Lol question is was she actually talking about sdcards lol jk
To get slightly back on topic , I was wondering if someone could spell out exactly how to do aa 'junction' (this would be the windows term for it) where you have an invisible link for the OS to follow from one place to the next. So instead of modifing the root files,instead running an app that manages it or a script at boot that would allow it. Again - on stock firmware if that matters.
Mnt/sdcard/gameloft redirected to mnt/sdcard-ext/gameloft

Hey everyone. After I bricked my phone, I did the steps to unbrick it, and it worked out. I then got it s-off. but now it says that my sd card is blank! what should I do?

Hopefully u saved every thing you wanted off of there before u did the s-off thing. Only way I got to reuse the sd card was to reformat it using a pc.

i know that some peoples sdcard got erased.. dont know why but its happens to some people that run lazy panda s-off.. i got lucky mine ran great and sdcard was fine.. luckly
Lazypanda softbricked my phone and sdcard was unreadable. When I retried the panda using the same sdcard the data was restored.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I'm having same issue. I achieved S-off but now sdcard is unreadable. I would really want to restore it cause I have a lot of pics and stuff in there. I forgot to backup before doing the process. Any other suggestions or instructions??
Edit- I did try running the Panda again but all it says is that im already S-off so it doesnt do anything.
That sucks. I put a blank sd card in before hand, because the first page stated 'backup your card because all data could be lost'. Hopefully you did that. I had to reformat the card part way through, but then it all worked.

It is worth trying a tool like Recuva or if you really are serious about resurrecting your stuff, TestDisk. Both are free, both are for Windows.
Another good idea, for the future, is backup all your pictures to dropbox. We got 25 gb for free, might as well use it. The instant upload feature makes it easy.

Hey, so I have a few dumb questions.
1: I deleted my SD card shortcut that was in my freshly formatted internal storage when I got the phone. I want it back and no file manager can help me. I only want it because some apps (like Dolphin browser, for the downloads directory) won't let me select the external SD. Any way to get it back other then a format of the internal SD? Would that work even?
2: Why the heck is the EFS so dang fragile? And why does this phone have it able to get messed up!? None of my other phones have ever had this, and I've worked with the Samsung Intercept (OMG THAT HORROR), the LG Optimus V, the HTC Sensation 4G, my brother hasn't seen this on his Nexus 4 even. I see so many people posting "HALP, EFS MESSED UP WITH NO BACKUP!!!" and I'm just scared to death of mine messing up, so I have backups on my computer, my phone, my sisters phone!!! Lol.
3: I don't need to do it now, but in the future I might. How do we swap how the the external and internal memory is seen? According to many sites we need to "Open the file manager that you have installed on your Android device and browse to the location “/system/etc” and you will find a file named “vold.fstab”" only that file doesn't exist in my /system/etc folder in Beanstalk. So I'm curious if maybe the OG has a different method of doing this?
Thanks for those willing to take the time to answer my 3 dumb questions.
On 3...maybe I misread this but are you asking about moving anything you download from the web to sdcard instead of int. storage ? If that's the case, download xposed framework and get diwnload2sd. It allows you to change the downloads directory..hope that helps

Thanks for replying.
No, there is supposed to be a way to make the phone mount the SD as internal storage and vice versa. In the future I may want to do that if I get a fast, large, SD card. But when I look into the proper folder the file I'm supposed to edit isn't there. :-\
There are certainly other ways to use the SD instead of internal, like the one you mentioned or another exposed module that sets the camera to use the SD instead of internal. And then there's the app I bought "FolderMount" which is great as well. It's certainly not devastating to not be able to swap how the phone mounts the memory, but it would be cleaner if I could.
Again, thanks for replying!

I've never has problems with the SD, I just point my file manager yo /storage/sdcard1 whereas internal storage is /storage/emulated/0.
Also, I've only ever had an issue with my EFS getting messed up once, and that was back on 4.2.2 before development got stabilised with gee/geeb.

Mostly operator error.
Otherwise, the only thing that could cause this is confusion regarding which recovery to use. TWRP has always worked for me.

I personally like Philz Touch. In fact, there's an update right now! But I have my efs.zip in case anything goes wrong!

That's the only thing I'm aware of that would have write access to the efs partition.
Ive never used philz recovery, but earlier versions of CWM for the OG didn't even check the updater script, so you could Very easily flash something that could damage the phone.
Yikes!
