transfer via FTP also alter date modified timestamp.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
There's a ftp command called MFMT which must support both client and server in order to restore timestamps after the transfer. All ftp servers for android I've tried don't support it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
have you tried solid explorer FTP?

i will try, thanks for the heads up.. ;)

Yes, and doesn't support it. I guess no FTP client or server for android does support it at this moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] COReed:
Bumping an old thread, but this problem does not seem to be solved. I find that when copying a file from a PC to my Android device (Nexus 7), the modification date gets set to the date copied whether I use MTP, SMB over wi-fi (ES Explorer), or SFTP over wifi. I haven't checked with ADB. I would consider this to be a bug, or at the very least, non-standard behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
It's not exactly a bug, but a misbehaviour. It's not fixed yet, even on Android 4.3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
i got solution for this culprit.

and it's easy.

using Droid Explorer, with usb debuging enabled.

works like a charm, and it's easy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Yes, you are right. Works perfectly for individual files, however doesn't work with folders.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
yep, it's useful for files, not folders.

at least it could transfer many files at once though..

create some folder on phone, then copy all files from PC into phone with Droid Explorer.

and with some file manager inside android, move (do not use copy, copy will alter date modified) files to somewhere we want.

THANK YOU for this. I have been googling and trying different methods for 2 days straight. Droid Explorer is the ONLY thing that worked.

It is kind of a pain to install (with the Android SDK stuff), but it worked!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
There seems to be a solution that is working using FTP with MFMT support:

Issue 57065: Writing files via MTP set date and time for pictures and files to current, does not preserve timestamp

I've successfully workarounded it with Filezilla: Preserve timestamp of transferred files.

https://forum.filezilla-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=13979

FTP Server Pro does the job, it supports MFMT:

Solution

After some time fooling around with timestamps (I've just bought a Nexus 5 after my GN and I need to move all my pictures sorted by modif. date), I just remembered a solution I think I read when doing the same to my Galaxy Nexus some time ago.

I have a Mac, so Droid Explorer is not a good option for me (without messing with VMWare and stuff).

For NEXUS > PC, using MTP works fine for preserving timestamps (as said above).

For PC > Nexus, I tried USB-OTG, adb-pushing, MTP... and none of them worked.

So I remembered the solution: use ADB PUSH in RECOVERY MODE of the phone:

1- Reboot to recovery first (I used TWRP, i guess CWM will work as well).

2- Use 'adb push' to send the folder/file you want.

3- Reboot, and you can see the filestamps are preserved (at least I see that with Solid Explorer).

I guess it will work in WIN and LINUX as well, just let me know.

Hope its useful ;)

PS: Forgot to tell you that using this way you may see that you can't remove/modify the files/directories later. That's because on recovery files are copied as root user. You may want to change that:

1- First, see what user android is using (in my N5 it's media_rw by default). In recovery, connected to the phone, write in terminal:

adb shell

cd /sdcard/

ls -R -l

Then look at the name of the user and group of the majority of the files (normally its 'media_rw' in both)

2- Change the owner by using chown command:

chown -R user:group ./directory-to-be-changed.

e.g.: chown -R media_rw:media_rw ./Pictures/Instagram

You can test if it worked by using ls -R -l again, and see if the user is the one you just set, and then try to remove the file on android by using a file explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
ADB PUSH works with folders in recovery mode?

Look too if changing the owner changes the timestamps.

FTP mode works on Samsung 4.1.2, but maybe not in nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] santibacat:
yes, adb push works in recovery (at least with TWRP, I haven't tried with others), and changing the owner doesn't change the timestamps.

Maybe FTP is easier for some people, but for me this way is faster because you don't have to install anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bizoot:
easiest solution - droid explorer

I've struggled with this issue a lot on my htc one after trying to restore photos from my pc to my device, all photo timestamps (modification date) received the date of the transfer!

droid explorer did the trick! fast and easy... (just copy and paste)!!!

:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Google should be addressing this issue immediately, but seems they don't give a **** about it. Will call tomorrow Samsung and see if they can implement the feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
The FTP method does not work on Galaxy S4, even being root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Darknicks:
Droid Explorer requires root....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
yes.. it does.

it's Nexus man... come on.

you could easily unlock bootloader and relock it. also root unroot it.

easiest device for developing stuff.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
You can use the new app File Timestamp, to backup and restore timestamps to a text file. Requires root. It's the easiest way so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tr4sHCr4fT:
this freaks me out completely, too

when i got my Samsung K Zoom, some time it had not used the SD card but instead stored pictures, movies and otehr files to internal storage. now my space runs out and i want to move all files to SD, but face the timestamp problem.

i know it would just need a simple cp -R -p on a rooted device,

but i still have 1 year of warranty and you cant triangle-away a S5Z

LocalSync does preserve modified, but not creation time. pointless

ADB is not showing the device neither on XP nor Windows 7

the only possibillity seems to be left is rsyncing to a linux host
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Use File Timestamp or Android Timestamp Keeper. The first in an android app and the second a shell script. Both require root to write timestamps, not to read at least the script.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tr4sHCr4fT:
i looked at the output of File Timestampt and it is storing only the mtime, too

after not getting a rsync connection from phone to virtualbox on pc working,

i seem to suceed with a unusual approach: install DroidSSH, mount SSHFS, cp -P

Any solution for Galaxy S6 non-root users ? I need to transfert all my movies from PC to my phone but no one gets the creation date. Full disordered...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthelm:
So, is there anyway to do this wirelessly? And only do it for files that have changed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
SManager file explorer (requires root for some functions) will transfer files from the ext sd card to the internal sd card without changing file timestamps. Took me a few days to find out, I'm glad I did!

The caveat is:

- you need to be able to use USB Mass Storage mode for file transfer from the PC to the external sd card.

- if your device only has internal memory, like the Google phones and tablets, there is no solution that I know of as you MUST use MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
wow!

after all these years, after all these hassle.

there's some simple yet powerful solution for this.

thank you.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=os.tools.scriptmanagerpro

yes that app does a good job at preserving date modified.

just buy $5 usb otg cable, put all your files to usb flashdrive, and then copy-paste it from that app, voila, the date modified is not altered!

i wonder why many popular file manager does not have this feature?

this is basic needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
Actually there is - sorry if I didn't get back to you earlier - the File Manager is called Ghost Commander, it requires Root and Busybox. Have been using it for the past several weeks now, there is no turning back for me now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 30.30guest:
Could anyone tell me where to read about preserving timestamps? Device samsung core with 4.1.2 original, I have audio recording files, pictures and videos on device internal memory, need to move them to microSD or computer dvd for legal use, need them with the original time they were taken, cant change anything or it will not be valid on court. Not a technician myself, just a nurse doing rescues. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
See previous post - you need to be rooted for it to work - known Android bug. I wouldn't trust the timestamp fixer apps myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 30.30guest:
Thanks for answering. Did the reading, here and in several other places. Rooting would risk the files I think, saw in different posts thats why you have to make a back up, but that back up will change the timestamps!! Understand my point? Browsing if 4.1.2 would be able, being an old soft, to dodge the mtp thing, and even the ptp (have to rescue the audio files also), and act as mass storage, but until now the only answer is to have a previously rooted device
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
Rooting will only affect warranty status and expose the device to you making errors, these are the only thing you should be worried about.

That being said, if rooting requires you to flash your device (can't be done simply from an apk) then of course it's riskier, because incorrect flashing can brick the device.

On the other hand if you can do it from the SuperSU Playstore app you should be fine.

In any case since it's for a legal reason, I would strongly recommend you seek professional advice from a data retrieval expert first before going ahead.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kassipopassi:
Anyone having problems these problems too with a device with a microSD card? (LG G4)? I have around 1100 files on Dropbox, when i look up the date-attributes (newest from 28th feb '16) like date, modification-date, creation-date they're all perfectly fine in windows. As soon as i copy them to the SD card around 5% of them get the date of the day i copied (a.e. 1st march '16), but the rest is fine. How can this happen?!

Thanks for any help, because this is really driving me crazy! :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jvwr:
Is there any solution for the timestamp problem whitout root access required?

Hi everyone, I've been spending too much time on this topic, trying to copy some pictures from a Moto G to a Moto X2, but none of them kept the timestamp (both phones have no SD card slot).

The last two apps I tried were SManager and Droid Explorer, but both requires Root access, am I wrong?

This is really boring
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
Root access is required for the apps that bypass/compensate for this systemic android bug. I suggest Ghost Commander with BusyBox or Total Commander, just make sure you operate them in root mode.

Need a little bit Help

Hello,

I have a big Problem. (For me only)

Can anybody help me with an Information?

My Situation: I moved some files from internal Memory to SD-Card. After that I found out all my time stamps were gone. It all about Voice Recording. Now my Question ist:

Can I read (list) somehow the old Directory to get only Filename and Timstamp. And is it possible to do that also without Rooting? My Device is a nonrooted Note4.

Do you have an Idea how to proceed?

Thanks

George
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
Why don't you look into file recovery? The secret of success is to go into recovery mode immediately after you realized the problem.

That being said - There isn't much you can do if you aren't rooted. Come on, it's the first thing anyone should do, stop being a victim, if you can't do it yourself get someone to help out, it's really a no-brainer. Can't wait for the first lawsuit against the illegal dismissal of warranty service for rooting to be brought on using the Magnuson-Moss Act.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georg3003:
Yes you are right with rooting. I rooted also my Note2. But on my Note4 the IR Diode isn't working anymore after update from4.4.4 to 5.0.1. I still have warranty but I have really important stuff on my Phone. Apps with AppData and all other Settings.

I really need that stuff. And how can I transfer that to another Phone? using it exactly in that way i left it.

I haven't found a solution to get a backup without rooting. But there is in this moment the Risk to pay for repairing my IR-Diode because it is rooted. (Not yet). I found two posibilities. The One is Helium, working without root but not working perfectly. (Yes Titanium Backup but after rooting).

The other I still have to do research on temporary Root. But still don't know if Temp rooting is triggering Knox.

Thank you for your resonse.

But can you help me with an information about filerecovery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Old faithful:
The first thing you should do is make sure you get an app like "triangle away" to reinitilialize the knox counter - on the note 2 it's a no brainer, not sure about the note 4.

If you can solve this issue then it's just a matter of rooting, installing Titanium, backing onto an external SD Card, unroting, using triangle away and flashing the OEM ROM.

If you just want to save files such as pictures you would use Ghost Commander in root mode to transfer files from the Internal SD Card to the External SD Card and then you would have no date corruption.

Once the files are on an External SD Card you would use USB mass storage mode with an app like SGS3 UMS to transfer files from there to the PC, or remove the card and use a card reader to transfer the files on your PC.

Once done you would remove the External SD Card, unroot, use triangle away and flash the OEM ROM onto your defective IR phone and if it's still broken, send it in for repair.

Quite a lot to do for sure but the question is, what is more valuable to you: your data or your device?

I'd just root it and be done with it. If the IR failed after an update that makes the software 'update' suspicious, not the hardware.

"Qui ne risque rien n'a rien" (Nothing ventured nothing gained)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] D@rekills4:
I found something guys.

DroidExplorer, it allows you to keep the date modified when transferring files through MTP mode.

https://de.codeplex.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
also, use this method:

- plug USB with your file in it

- copy paste this with Total Commander (from Google Play), but make sure root capabilities activated

- your date modified still the same.

- also works for phone to usb too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scandiun:
Being root of course it can be done. The thing is doing it without root.

Hello guys.

What is the best way to wipe my phone, so its completely ready for new ROM?

Sorry if its alrdy out there. But hopefully you can help, im a bit new.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iCon878:
There area couple of things I would do and they are as follows

1. Do a backup of all your apps with Titanium or some other program like that

2. Do a full Nandroid back up of your current rom just incase you soft brick your phone.

3. Back up your EFS folder once that is gone its pretty hard to get it back. I have never had a problem but others have.

4. Make sure you wipe your cache/user data with CWM and also dalvik cache. This is to insure you dont have any issues with your old rom conflicting with the new one its sucks I have done this even if it says NO-WIPE rom.

5. Install your new rom whatever that may be

TL:DR

MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR APPS

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksantoshh:
In addition to the steps, you can also format the system and emmc, If you want a clean slate. Just remember to place New ROM and nandroid backup on ext SD card before formatting
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edgenet:
I was a bit hasty when flashing, and did not get a original rom backup(nandroid). Am I completely ****ed now? My current rom works just fine, just wondering if my next flash softbricks it. Could I back up my current rom and return to that?

Also, if I flash a original sammy rom from the original rom thread(the one I presume my phone came with), will I be able to update through the built in sammy function(Search for updates)?

Sorry for hijacking, but this thread seemed suitable rather than starting a new.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sure, any backup of a working ROM is good. You can always pull an official firmware from Intratech's thread to flash back to stock if you need to in the future.

Maybe. I see a Norwegian flag in your profile. If you flash back to stock, it MAY work for you. Doesn't for me, but that's because I'm in the US, and no one officially carries this phone here.. so neither Kies nor OTA work for updates for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
No, not suitable at all.

Hijacking bigtime and not using "search" either - good start, you'll not be popular if you carry on like this...

Since like me you're in Norway and can't sleep either I'll try to help - no links though, you gotta search:

If you're careful with flashing the softbrick chances are small. Yes, you can back up your current ROM.

No, you can't update via "search for updates" on the phone. It's an OTA feature that's never been implemented in Gingerbread - at least not here in Norge.

And you can't "presume" what your original firmware/ROM was - you either know it or you don't.

To be honest, you don't sound like you're ready for custom ROMs yet. I'd do a lot more reading here if I were you.

Lykke til.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:

That does a full wipe, whilst keeping root.

If you change Roms, you will lose your root.

But when you install a custom kernel, most auto root anyway.
