[Desire Android Development] celestialspring:
This tutorial will show you how to Upgrade / Change to a new SD card having an EXT2/3 partition. This tutorial is for Windows platform only and assumes that you are comfortable with doing some basic functions with your phone.

Disclaimer:

I take no responsibility for any damage (if it occurs) to your phone by following the the steps mentioned below. Use it at your own risk!!! You have been warned.

Prerequisites:

1. HTC Desire - Rooted

2. Clockworkmod recovery installed on your phone (my version is 3.0.0.5?)

3. Nandroid

4. Download and Install - Freeware: Easeus Partition Manager

5. A windows PC and HTC desire data cable.

Steps:

1. Create a full nandroid back up for your current ROM from Clockworkmod Recovery screen. [No Mybackup or Titanium Backup - Nandroid is Required]

Boot phone into Clockworkmod recovery -> backup/restore -> backup (takes a few minutes) will make a complete backup of you rom, stored in clockwordmod folder of your SD-card (folder named with date and time) [Thanks Papedo]

2. Connect your HTC desire to your PC via your data cable and save the whole "Clockworkmod" folder from your SD card to a folder in your PC. Save any other files which you may want to in that folder.

3. Safely Eject the SD card.

4. Turn off your phone.

5. Remove the Old SD Card and Insert the new one.

6. Boot phone into Clockworkmod recovery.

7. Now select the option - "Partitions Menu"

8. Select option - "mount USB storage"

9. Open Easeus Partition Manager.

10. Create two partitions on the SD *exactly* in this sequence (assuming you have a 16gb card - windows will show 14.98gb free):

a. Fat32 partition - Primary - 14gb

Method: Right click unallocated space on your SD card and select "Create" -

A create partition dialog will pop up - use the following values:

Create As: Primary

File System: Fat32

Partition Size: 13980

Hit: OK

b. Ext2/3 partition - Primary - 1 gb

Method: Right click unallocated space on your SD card and select "Create" -

A "Create Partition" dialog will pop up - use the following values:

Create As: Primary

File System: Ext2 or 3

Partition Size: 1000

Hit: OK

11. Your SD card partitions should look like this (see DISK 3):

11. Hit Apply button which will appear on the left hand side.

11. Go to Windows Explorer to ensure that you can see and access the newly created FAT32 partition.

12. Once you are satisfied with the FAT32 partition go and copy paste all the files and folders from the backup of your OLD SD Card made on your PC to the new SD Card.

13. Once this process if finished reboot the phone into recovery.

14. Go to Nandroid - Select Restore. Choose the Backup you want to restore.

15. Nandroid will take sometime to check MD5 sum of the recovery image, be patient. If everything is OK, Nandroid will start restoring the image and will start copying files.

16. Once finished it will display "Restore Complete". Press the back button now, select "Reboot System Now".

Go Crazy!

Now you have a full functional new SD card with EXT 2 / 3 partition.
