I just bought another V20. But I cannot just move the SIM card and Micro SD card?

[bikemechanic53]

My old V20 just got it's screen cracked. I want to move everything from my old V20 to my new V20. I tried just moving the SIM and data cards to the new one. But LG has a startup sequence that won't allow that. Does anyone know how to move everything to a new Android 8 V20?

( I can't load everything to Google drive or cloud. I have 65GB of data on the old cards. It would take hundreds of hours at my Verizon download speed to do this. )

Thanks

I've never heard of this. What is it about the startup that you think is preventing the cards from being utilized?

Is this a carrier-branded V20? If so, is it a different carrier than the SIM you're trying to swap over? That might explain the SIM difficulty.

Was the SD card formatted as Internal Storage (as opposed to portable storage) on the old V20? If so, you can't swap the card to another device, since it's encrypted to the original device.
