Change MicroSD card - AA666 - 05-24-2016

Well, I use Andoid 20160303 build with Kodi on old 64Gb card. Today I received new 16Gb UHS-I card. I would like to copy everything to new card. What can be an easiest way to do it?

If you are using PC, just use Win32DiskImager run the old microSD card content and write back. Please noted that this method only work if the new microSD card capacity is equal or larger than old one. Please noted that your both 64GB microSD card may have slight different capacity size.

Thanks for suggestion. You are right, I tried some disk/partition imaging software and all of them not able to reduce size of ext4 filesystem/partition. Finally I created new SD card with Phoenix and reinstall everything manually.
