Hacking Restoring sd card

[mingmong24]

Hello, is there a way of restoring a sd card to work as before. I purchased a bigger sd card for my sd2vita but now the smaller sd doesn't seem to work correctly after I flashed it following a tutorial. Thank you

r u trying to restore the micro sd card using a qcma backup or a manual transfer of the files?

Sorry I meant ever since I used win32diskimager to flash the zzblank.img it has made my sd card incompatible with some things. Even after formatting it. What exactly does the zzblank.img do? Thanks

What exactly is it incompatible with? Can't use VitaShell? Can't use FTP?

What he's saying is that he had a small sd card in his sd2vita and has upgraded it to a bigger one but now his first smaller one wont work normally now. I would've thought a format should have done the job

If you're using zzblank.img to erase the SD card to make it work with other stuff, don't. This is essentially wiping the partition info, so the SD card can be used with the Vita, but other devices may not work.

Why don't you just format it normally in Windows? You can use SDFormatter if you like, but Window's basic disk format would work fine as well.

EDIT: If you know how to use Diskpart, you can use that as well. That would 100% fix the issue, since you'd be building partition info.

Man, my reading comprehension is off today. You said you formatted your SD card before trying to see if it worked, right? How'd you format it? Did you try a full format instead of a quick one?

I tried a quick format. I will attempt to format using disk part as suggested. Thank you guys. And btw it made it incompatible with my WiiU, the wiiu seen it but failed to load anything from it. Thanks again

disk part might work with the clean command. I had to use it for an sd card that was being used for redNAND. lol
