[Q]old microsd card stuff to new microsd card - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone im getting a new micosd tf card for x10i 2moro and im just wondering... is there a easy way? u know copy paste over to new card? will this work? im using link2sd as well i really wouldn't like to start all over again and install everything from scratch.. or is this not possbile please let me know.im on 2.1.0.435
old card >> copy all files to >> new card
anyone tried this?

if you use your computer to copy from old card and paste the contents to new card,
it will work just fine,
one of my friend did it, and he said, everything works fine ... without any problem ...

thx m8
used mini tool partition wizard to do it , had a few headaches at first because of link2sd what i did was copy the old stuff to new sd card
everything went ok. but when i turned my phone on had alot of fc's i then did a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe battery stats, wipe dalvik cache. and then i restored my rom everything works perfectly no more fc's.. thnx for your help ! hope this helps someone else too

New memory card, need to swop everything across!

I have just bought an 8GB card and need to swop everything across from my 4GB. I'm rooted with apps2sd and MCR ROM installed.
Now the questions are:
What is the best way of doing this the right way?
Do i need to partition the new card, or does MCR do this i cant remember!
If i drag and drop everything from my 4GB to my 8GB will it work?
Anyone else had to do this?
Any help will be very much apreciated...
Just been thinking if i install the modded recovery image on my new card will i be able to create partitions with that?
Anyone???
I just copied everything...
I just copied everything and it just worked.
Cheers for the reply. I`ll try it.

[Q] How can you wipe EVERYTHING from the phone

Hi everyone,
I've booted into recovery, wiped the dalvick, wiped the cache, wiped the data+factory reset, then installed villain rom,
and sure enough, my /sdcard folder is still full of junk... even though the phone didn't come with an SDCARD (slot is empty, if I add and sdcard it mounts in external_sd).
So i'm wondering, how can you, totally, permanently, irrevocably, delete absolutely everything from the phone, without exception
Thank you!
Input *2767*3855# into dialpad.
This will leave the sd card untouched right? Right now when I install roms I back a few apps up seperately to external, run Ti, then do a nand. I take the whole internal sd and transfer it over to my pc and that is my backup. I have been leaving the sd in with the phones internal wipes and it is untouched. This is what I want, I have my music and wallpapers, ringtones etc there and they can sit through a wipe without being touch and its saves having to move them back onto the phone. Wasn't sure if the hard reset would also wipe the sd card which is why I have been pulling it. I think on my next flash I may just back up the sd card and let fly if no one has tried it yet.

This will wipe everything apart from your external SD Card! It will be like the device came from the factory.
Yes, this is why I do it and I knew that, I like a completely fresh start on a new rom and Ti makes it pretty painless. I just wasn't sure if it also wiped/formatted the sd card which is what I don't want. This way I can leave all my music and such there that just moves from one rom to the next and not have to mess with it so this is exactly what I was hoping to hear.
Well looks like my thread was highjacked :-(
I'm trying to delete everything, including the SD

Just format the SD card manually.

Plus for overkill via CWM advanced format system sd card etc .

SD Card doesnt mount in Android, xrec is ok

I have recently upgrade to android 2.3.3 and am using EWJET as a rom.
I cannot access the SD once Android OS has booted. All apps and the system/settings says SD Card isn't mounted. Tried multiple installs, nothing works.
All 2.1/2.2 Roms are fine.
If i tap back during start-up and access xrecovery I have normal access to the SDcard and can flash packages etc. So the phone is able to access the card ok.
My SD card is the 8gb that came with the phone and isnt partitioned in anyway.
However in the past I did have it partitioned, but not now. Incase I am installing 2.3.3 and the rom wrong, ill tell you my steps.
Factory Firmware 2.1 flashed
rooted, busybox and recovery installed
Flashed X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only_kernel_baseband
then install the EWJET rom as per his instructions..
I pray I am only doing the above steps wrong as I desperately want the SD working on 2.3.3.
Any help would be appreciated.

you try pulling it out and blowing on it like an old nes game...
jk smiles but have you tried perhaps throwing the sd into a computer and just formatting with different cluster sizes or in general formatting the card. Might need to use an adapter.
Happen the same thing to me but with wolfbreaks rom... some people told me to re-flash the rom but it didnt work. The funny thing is the the sd card will work on any other device, and any other sd card will work on the phone... havent try re-formatting the card cauze i dont have the adapter but it should work

you might want to get an adapter. A while back i tried setting up a sd-ext partition on a 4gig card and long story short the only way i was able to run a format that gave me back the 4gigs was throwing it into an adapter
Had the same thing when I updated with stock-2.3.3.... At the time I had it partitioned in 2 partitions...
I connected the phone then with my pc, and there it was, alive and well.... So I backed up the entire card, that is, the first partition, where all my data were; I powered off the phone, took it out, found a adapter, deleted the 2nd partition with Partition Wizard Home Edition Minitool, made the sd-card 1 partition only, formatted that partition, and then I copied all my backed-up data back to the card
Then I put the card back in the phone, booted and voila: the card was recognized again by 2.3.3....! and now it functions ok!
Hope this helps, greetz, good luck,

formatting did not help
Anything new on this?
for me it is a little different. The card that came with the phone works fine with the GB update, the thing is that I got another phone, this one came with a 4 Gb card so I took the one in the x10 with all my pics and put it in my new phone and put the other new card in the x10 but it doesn't recognize it...
I've tried with 2 different cards, in xRec i can read it, back up, etc, but once in android its like there's nothing there. Tried formatting it with no results....
What could it be that it reads the original x10 card and no other?
Ive got no idea, but its annoying. Im gonna have to go back to 2.1 which sucks.
We need to some how figure out whats causing this. Ive tried everything.
2.3 seems to be the problem.

I have 2.3 and the card that originally came with the phone (16Gb SDHT) works fine, the thing is that it doesn't read any other card.

Today i found a workarround using DISKPART (6 years later hehe)
Note that this will wipe your storage card so BACKUP !!
Hold [Win + R] and type in : diskpart (or launch cmd as admin and types: diskpart )
Every lines should be followed by enter key.
list disk
select disk *
(" * " is the number of your drive. be carefull do not choice your hard drive number which is commonly 0)
clean
create partition primary
assign
format fs fat quick
exit
Tested and work fine on windows 8 (but should work on 7, 8.1, 10)
Thanks Hope i help even 6 years later !! cheers

Slowly & Buggy device - no mather what!

Hello!
Last time I can say that my phone is slowly and I have bugs that no one have! And I dont know where can be the problem.I flashed different roms - aways full wipe, even try with superwipe and format sd card...Still have really strange bugs...
The last time when i flash rom i i did this :
1.Remove the sd card, put it in other device, then format and copy the rom
2.Go to recovery wipe all
3.Put the sd card and flash the rom
4.Flash the boot.img
Is im doing it wrong ? Any advice when to format sd card, before or after flash the rom ? Cuz like now Im with mysensedx 5 and i have really stupid bugs...Before that I was with ics full sense...The first time when i flash it +CrossBreeder mod the phone was flying :victory: I was playing Minions without any lag...But the next time when i flashed the same rom was tottay different thing! And i didnt do anything else..But the phone was slowly and full of bugs...I really idk where is the problem.Now I dont have any mods/scripts and I want to reflash the current rom (mysenseDx5 rc4) with full wipe + sd card format just to be shure that everything is gone but not shure how to do it ? the steps...Any advice or info will be helpfull.
Thanks!
Steps are the same as usual... Just wipe your phone phone complete (without wiping sdcard), then install mysensedx5, and at last install any custom sense kernel for JB of your choice. Important is to install a JB kernel, not a ICS one. Then, you should be fine.
Okay I will try.So you say to not touch the sd card ? Cuz late can be problem or is no need to format ?
As long as the file system on sdcard is fine, there is no need to format it. Because you recently formatted it, I assume that it is fine already.
Not once have you mentioned an actual bug u encountered. Please elaborate so others can help. There is no reason for random bugs if others are not having them, unless u have a faulty hardware.
Ok ok....I wiped again and flashed the rom and...Still got the problem with the app that dont want to stay in the folders .I still didnt istall all apps that I use...On the restart Cleaner and ES Explorer that i moved in the floder before that are outside of the folder...Its annoying...Cuz i like to organize it on internet,social and etc...For now i installed dialer fix and bress back 2kill apps nothing else that can make this thing...Maybe I just have to get over it..Or move to supersensedx...
PS:
Maybe the problem is that i moved them to sd card ?...I will see now

That's possible. Which sd card class are you using? If it's a slow one, that could be the issue indeed...

So what is now broken, the internal SD or the external SD? If it's the internal then try to flash the stock ROM. If it's external try to put the SD into a card reader and format it using this tool.
