i just switched up my sd card. i had an 32gb class 4 san disk sd card on my evo 3d and i replaced it with a san disk ultra 32gb class 10 sd. i just partitioned the sd and restored all my files onto the new card. question is, is it best to do a fresh install of the rom im running or will it be ok to just restore the nandroid backup? thanks.
sorry if its a dumb question.

I don't see why restoring the nandroid would be a problem. Files are files, regardless of partitions.

Should be ok to restore the nandroid. Try it and if it's unstable, then do a fresh install.

i know a nandroid backup can be performed through recovery and the files will be saved on my sd card. but i only have a 2gb sd card and it is not enough to store my nand backup. is it possible to do a nandroid backup through my computer (windows 7)?
i have tried QtADB but the nandroid backup button is greyed out and i cannot click it.
i have coderom nexusace as my rom and cwm 4.0.
Nandroid bacup takes maximum 700 or 800 mb depending upon the no of data etc....copy ur sd card files to your computer..and then perform a backup..then copy the clockwork mod folder to your computer and delete it from the sd card.copy the sd card files from computer to sd card.whenever u need to backup copy the clockwork mod folder back to sd card from pc (using adapter if your phone does not boot )and backup from recovery.

It depends on what class would you buy kabayan. I suggest you buy a class 6 or class 10. 8gb class 10 is about P1000. Cdr? Dpende sayo. Hehe

How do I set up the phone to make maximum use of the SD card? For some reason now I can't make good nandroid backups to the SD card, I end up with empty folders with bad dates (1970?). So I am carrying a nandroid on the internal memory for now, and that chews up 4+ gb.I would want as much as possible to go on the card, camera, music, etc.

recovery doesn't play well with sd cards formatted in the exFAT file format. if you reformat your sd card to fat32 then recovery will work no problems and your phone won't know the difference.
two words of caution; backup your sd card before formatting since formatting erases all your data, there is a file size limitation in fat32 that you cannot have a file with a size over 4gb. you can have folders that have more than 4gb in them, but it will have problems if you have a movie file over 4gb in size.
i have a 64gb sd card that was originally formatted in exFAT and recovery wouldn't write to it. backed up the card, reformatted to fat32, copied everything back and now recovery backs up to the card just fine.

Thanks! Was trying to remember the name of that app. I have a 32gig card coming in on Wednesday and can't wait to try it out.
Caching GMusic alone is worth it.

I went and got the premium version via in app purchase so I can just choose the main folder to mount and not every sub folder.

Be careful formatting 64gb cards to fat32. After a while they have data corruption issues. My SD card started failing had to go back to exfat. Twrp has excellent ex fat support

It looks like CWM does not support my 64 GB SD card. Very disappointing. I sent an email to "[email protected]" because I bought the Touch version of ROM Manager to make backs up easier. I hope to hear back from the clockworkmod team.
In the meantime is there a work around? I could switch from CWM to TWRP if TWRP supports a 64 GB SD card using FAT32ext?
Can you let me know what you are doing to create NANDROIDS with 64GB SD cards?
thanks
TWRP supports the 64gb card with either FAT32 OR exFat. I've run mine both ways and nandroids are not a problem.

I switched to TWRP and was able to create a NANDROID on the 64GB SD card.
Do you know how to change to volume label on the SD Card? Is there an app for that?
I have a new 64 gb sd formatted exfat. Everytime I do a nandroid backup in cwm recovery and also carbon backup, they both finish backups. After rebooting both the nandroid and carbon backups disappear on the external 64gb sd card. All of the other files on the card are still in tact except for the backups.
Really puzzling. Should I just use the 64gb as a fat32?
Thank you for any comments.

Not sure as how to do it. But I know alot of people are having issues with 64gb cards
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
Try using twrp since it's actually recommended for our device. Also I believe the only benefit of exfat is that you can have files over 4gb. If you don't have files that big, Fat32 will work fine.

Thank you for your input.
Gave up and went back to the original 32GB.
So I bought a 64GB microSD card but I think it might be bad?
When I download a ROM and check the MD5 on my desktop, everything matches up. However, if I transfer it to my sd card and then check the MD5 again, its wrong. This only applies to my external sd, if I move it to the internal storage, the MD5 checks out. Furthermore, my TWRP backups that I create on to the external sd always fail restore and the phone is unable to boot from it unless I reinstall the ROM fresh. Kind of an annoyance making my sd card useless....
Is this a problem with my actual card, or something else?

Did you format the card in phone?
Yes
If it's new and you can, I'd return it. Don't take chances.
Would suck if it were a chinese knockoff remarked card. They do that. Take a 4gb card and remark them and crap.
What brand is the card and where did you get it from?
I have a bad SanDisk 64 gig I got from Walmart that don't format or erase anything . If you have that brand take it back asap I had my card for 3 months before it messed up.
