Tried upgrading from microSD 16gb to (microSD) 128gb with image file (in order to get a bit-by-bit copy), but it does not allow me to enlarge the partition after having put the 16gb onto the 128gb card (otherwise the 128 microSD would be useless with the 16gb image defining the partition size to be 16gb).
What am I missing (in the process of enlarging the partition to the max size of the 128gb card)?

I have a Stock 16GB Nook Tablet running 1.4.0
My nook fails to boot from SD depending on the size of the first partition on the SD card. I have tried the following SD cards:
16GB microSDHC class 2 (two of them)
32GB microSDHC class 4
For example: I formatted the 16GB card using the nook tablet, and transfered the acclaim_update.zip to the root of the sd card. The nook would turn on but wouldn't load the update. However, I put a single partition on the 16GB card of just 300MB and it loaded the update and applied it.
It seems that when I have a small partition I can boot from the SD card to root the device but I want to be able to use all the space on the card. Perhaps I need to try a class 6 SD card?
Thanks for your time!
Have you verified the image that you're trying to use? Check the MD5 checksum against what's posted for that image.
Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img is 3,974,103,040 bytes, the card I have formats to 3,956,789,248 using partition wizard. Thus, win32diskimager fails due to a slightly larger image (about 17MB).
Is there a way to resize Team-B-CM7SD-Alpha_final.img to make it fit? Any other method than to use a different card? I would suspect the original SD card was just imaged directly and it was a bit bigger.
I had the same problem when I planned to give the SD version a test run. I tried to write the image to my 4GB cards. The image was 3.70GB and my SD card capacities were 3.69GB. Not sure if Celtic and the guys know this or not.
SDFormatter by Trendy (a small, free app) has a function to try to reallocate lost space when formatting. That may be worth a try. Also writing the image to a freshly formatted disk with a regular card reader may help as the Nook automatically adds a number of directories as soon as the card is inserted.
I'm wondering if there are known problems when partitioning 32GB (Class 10) microSD cards with multiple partitions?
I'm asking because I have the same problem with two 32GB cards from different vendors. I wanted to replace the 16GB Class 2 card I'm using in my HTC Desire for A2SD (M2SD to be exact) with a 32GB Class 10.
First I bought a Transcend 32GB Class 10 and partitioned it like
1. fat32 (30750MB)
2. ext3 (1000MB)
3. swap (250MB)
I had this setup running a few days when I noticed strange behaviour and sudden application crashes. In the output of dmesg I could see I/O errors when accessing the SD card. The SD card mount points where then mounted read-only (which caused the applications to crash).
I thought the card was broken and bought a new one (also 32GB Class 10) by SanDisk. I partitioned this card the same way as before and while copying backups from the first card onto the new one (on a PC) there were again I/O errors on the new card.
Either I have very bad luck or there are known problems when partitioning 32GB microSDs with multiple partitions? For the record I didn't have any problems with the old 16GB card (it had a fat32 and ext3 partition).
What's strange however is that when the 32GB card has only one fat32 partition (the default so to say) there were no errors when copying some dummy data onto it.
i don't know, but Swap degrade the SDcard.
In the future I will buy a 128GB SD and will make a mod based on the "galaxy note 4 with 512GB storage." I'm just waiting to get my adapter purchase on Aliexpress.
questions:
I may have problems with Android MediaScanner?
The durability of the memory card can be affected by the huge amount of files that will be kept?
I had a SanDisk 64GB for a few months, on a night I downloaded some files, which in the end amounted to 20GB in the morning I could not transfer these files via MTP or an old adapter I have, then ziped files and sent to my PC. Shortly thereafter I formatted my SD and had the error dirty volume, and SD boot partitions were corrupted in accordance with the Hex Active Disk Editor.
This is my third or fourth SD, had two 32GB and 64GB only one. It's really boring to me swap memory card each semester.
Do you recommend using an SD card in FAT32 or exFAT to store a huge number of files?
On my Samsung S5 dual SIM (G900FD) running Android 6.0.1, I have an external SD card (128 Gbytes) with a lot of files.
In order to increase the memory of the phone I have reduced the size of the fat32 partition of the external SD and I have created an ext3 partition (10 Gb) on it (using gparted on my PC).
My question:
Is there a way to extend the phone memory with the new ext3 partition on the SD card, WITHOUT erasing files on the phone or on the fat32 partition of the external SD card ?
Thanks you for your support.
