Root new sd card, stuck in boot loop.

[Drew5150]

hey guys, I just got a 15 gb sd card. I backed up my old sd card and then transferred everything over to my new card. Installed it and turned on my phone and now I get stuck with in a boot loop. re-installing my old card and it boots ok.

so I figured I could make a new nandroid back up and just restore it. where do nandroid backups get stored on the sd card? I have a nandriod folder but it doesn't seem to contain the one I just made.

I'm running the latest fresh 3.2

any ideas on what to do with out re-installing the rom. or could I just flash the rom over without wiping?

Did you format the new card before moving your files to it?

Are their hidden files on your SD Card that aren't getting transferred over to the new card?

yeah, and I get a boot loop with another 8gb card I have.

I'm wondering about hidden files myself, as I don't see any nandroid files. I deleted the nandroid folder I saw and my nandroid backups are still there in recovery.

You can show all hidden files in from the tools menu in a window, then using folder options you would go to the view tab and find "show hidden files" or something to that effect.

well I found my nandroid backups in the clockwork folder. not even hidden. I'm not even sure how I overlooked them. guess I'm just stupid, lol. transferring my new nandroid now, hopefully it works out.. it should.

nandroid back ups still wont function. I get a MD5 missing message. I reformatted the new card and stuck it in blank and I still get a boot loop. is re flashing a rom the only way to get a new sd card working?

Did you format it to FAT of FAT32?

Fat 32

Try flashing the ROM again... I don't think you need to wipe first if you are sticking with the same ROM.

When you buy a new sd card how do you format it to work with root

Format to FAT32 and replace all files and folders from the old one.

If you are running a stock Rom you can just stick in a new card and then format it through your phone. If you buy one with a use reader you can stick It in your computer and format it and transfer any files.

Some Roms will install some boot info onto the card and then you will get stuck in a boot loop. I was hoping to be able to transfer that info over and go. But Its looks like I just need to re-flash my Rom and all will be good.
