Procedure for changing 2gb sdcard to 16gb

When changing the sdcard, is it simply a matter or performing an external format, powering phone down, remove existing sdcard and inserting new sdcard ?

1. Connect your phone to your PC and Enable the USB mode
2. Backup/copy all your 2GB microSD info -somewhere/new folder- @ your computer
3. Use an SD or USB adapter to connect/plug your new 16GB microSD and restore all your info back in there
4. Turn off phone
5. Switch microSD cards
6. Turn on phone and Enjoy !

Had to enable the phone as external drive, copy all data from old sdcard and restore it all to new sdcard

If you have rooted your phone and enabled a2sd in android phone it is different story.

you dont have to power down to remove the sdcard. not that its a big deal but you could just...

go to settings ->
click SD and Phone Storage ->
click unmount sd card.




or you could just power down.

If you are using A2SD, you applications are in EXT3 partition. You need to restore them.

Simple mount and copy will work for data in FAT32 partition. If you have A2SD, you need to go through nandroid route to restore application as well.

Should we install a recovery again or it stay there ?
