[HTC One X] Badarusama:
Dear XDA members,

I recently bought a HTC One X from Expansys Japan which say on the website that the phone is 'sim-free' i.e. factory unlocked. When I received the phone, the seal was broken and on the first startup the phone didn't ask for initial setup. The language was Chinese which I changed to English, then I tried to update the software which got downloaded (on Wi-Fi) but the software couldn't be installed and gave an error that the phone as running a modified software and I need to return to original (snapshot below).

View attachment 1486462

I then found that the phone has been rooted and the software version and the ROM is something with "OneX.G2 by Cason" written at the end. It seems that they unlocked the One X and send it to me. Now that I haven't yet got any reply from them regarding this fraud, is there any way I can get the software update for this phone?

Can I return the phone to factory setting without loosing the unlock and can use on my carrier after the software update? Or if I reset the phone then it will get locked to its previous carrier and I might not be able to use it without unlocking again??

Thank you in advance.

You were sold used goods as new. The warranty is void. Not much else to be said.
[HTC One X] asp2010:
Look in the development section, there are guides you could follow to relock the bootloader and install stock recovery, which will allow you to receive HTC's OTA updates. You can always re-unlock the bootloader using HTCDev.com.

That being said, since your warranty is already void because the bootloader has been unlocked, you should consider finding a custom ROM and kernel that suits your needs, since they'll usually be (much) faster and power-efficient than the stock ROM.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarsnGadgets:
can someone please explain to me why, since updating to 4.2, I have what looks like a duplicate of my SD card contents in a sub folder called storage/emulated/0/?

all my gallery apps, Gallery, DroidIris etc. see duplicates of all my pictures now?

And If I save a pic from a browser It points to the folders in storage/emulated/0/, not the SD card ones?

deleting any file in one folder effects the other, so it is probably not a true duplicate thats taking up space is it?

I assume this has to do with the multi user addition to 4.2, but I have not set up a second user at all.

Does this just occur to people upgrading, or to people who installed a fresh version as well?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsmyth:
I think this has been added as part of the multi-user feature and is where the data/content is stored for other users. It has been mentioned on the forum somewhere else, cant remember where I seen it though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilks3y:
I also wondered this but then thought logically.

Two users using the same SD card wouldn't be a good idea.

So they sort of virtualise the SD card, and then when a new user is created a sort of partition is created for the user.

:)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clay347:
I was wondering what that was in ASTRO I thought it was something I did wrong and yes if you delete one file it will end up deleting both of them so be careful luckily I deleted some old downloads I didn't need anymore GOD BLESS YOU GUYS
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarsnGadgets:
thats all fine, thanks guys,

but now, if I download a new pic from dolphin browser to the /emulated/0/pictures folder, the gallery sees my SD/pictures as well as the /emulated/0/pictures folder, the original has 99 files in, and the new one 1 file in, both are called "pictures".

the "save picture as" action opens up its own file explorer, and it wont let me go back far enough in the file tree to access the SD/pictures folder so I can only save in the new /emulated/0 folder and its sub folders?

cheers.

I can't find the folder on my pc. I am trying to run a backup app and it stores it there. I try to replace the backup location to downloads for example and it won't work. It's driving me mad.:mad:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
The linked directories are linked to look like separate directories but they link to what is called a mount point that the actual physical storage and the actual file. What you do in any of folders will be done in all the folders.

I'm still wrapping my mind and this and my Linux knowledge it's weak. So I'm not going to try to suggest how to deal with these folders. As much as possible I'm letting the app handle the files.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algus:
Same for me. Music player, gallery and other apps now show two copies of files. Any solution to fix this yet?

I think you are confusing a symlink'd directory with a second copy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
No one - so far - has reported a real problem related to duplicate file - so don't be expecting a fix.

Spend the time reading up on Linux directory structures instead.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezas:
This.

It's not broken do don't expect a fix. It only 'looks' like you have duplicate files. A change you make in any single place will show up in all locations. Delete a file in one place it will be gone everywhere. The whole file system is an optical illusion. Layers on layers of naming parts of the file system.

For instance /sdcard is actually /data/media/0 if you created another user on your tab they would get /data/media/1 but they would find their files under /sdcard in a file manager.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algus:
I understand that it is a link. As I said problem is that applications show two copies of all files put in /sdcard folder. Because applications treat each link as a separate file. This is exactly what the original poster and I wrote in our posts.

So far I fixed this problem for myself by deleting all files from /sdcard (they disappeared from other linked locations as well) and saving them back straight to /storage/emulation/0 (they appeared in other linked locations, including /sdcard, but this time the gallery and other apps show single copy of each file in their collections).

This is not confortable for a typical user to learn about all these linked folders and I consider it as a drawback of Jelly Bean.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
I am trying to understand what you are seeing.

On my device, the gallery app only shows pictures in my user: emulated/0. This is from selecting a picture and then asking for info on it.

What apps are showing duplicates, other than a file explorer that you would expect to show symlinks?

I should add - are you copying pictures directly to /sdcard from somewhere else?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *GalaxyDev*:
Well I had a problem...because of all the multiuser crap I was unable to restore a titanium backup cause of all the emulated directories that another user makes...I had to delete every /0 directory that it made cause if you install another Rom it makes a new /0 directory inside the other /0 directory so after flashing CM10, MIUI and slim bean I finished with a directory like this: sdcard0/0/0/0.

restoring backups seems to be a problem too in cwm. Hmm how to fix it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomvector:
I ran into this problem with Titanium Backup and my Nexus 7. I was trying to copy the titanium backup folder on the Nexus 7 to my windows PC (also tried mac too) as it was taking up a lot of space on the Nexus but Windows and Mac wouldn't have any of it. It just copied the folder and not the contents. Android file Transfer manager on mac just keeped crashing. I did not try adb pull folder with WugFresh toolkit, so that may work. I ended up copying from the nexus 7 to a USB drive using an OTG cable.

I been looking into this too, this is what I find so far I did a fresh install after I installed my Rom I wipe storage on my N7 so I have a clean storage nothing on it about 27.80gb after I installed one game that is 2gb and its show on both storage emulated and 0 n after my available space is 23.72gb. So I think its does create a duplicate that take space. But Im not sure.I going to run some more tests. If this is true this kinda suck cus then my 32gb n7 is only 16gb then.

Ps. Also if u reboot ur n7 and u go to storage there is another folder under emulated with 0 with the same files you can deleted this folder is save you won't loose anything but if you reboot and go back to storage the file reappear and you can delete but once u reebot again it will reappear again and over again.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damagedgoods:
I'm having issues with this after flashing PA 2.99b6. Now I understand about symlinked folders being a bit like shortcuts and that's fine. I'm sure the system knows what its doing. My concern is that according to any app that measures available storage all these links are occupying space. Whether or not they are is irrelevant. My Nexus 7 thinks they are, is telling me they are and consequently will not let me add more data due to the storage being full. When it isn't.

Is this a issue with how apps treat these links and if so do people believe this will be addressed when these apps are updated? My knowledge is limited but I'm trying to understand so if anyone knows then I'd appreciate the info.

EDIT: Never mind I blatted the sdcard and sideloaded PA 2.99 and Gaaps. Works fine. Meh.

getting a bit confused here...

In /storage I can see:

emulated / 0 & legacy inside

sdcard0

It looks to me that sdcard & emulated/0 & emulated/legacy all have the same files in them...

Am I understanding correctly that these aren't really duplicates?

Or can I safely delete one or two of the directories to free space?

I flashed 4.2 and noticed that the free space on my internal SD went from 15 to about 6GBs, so I think something is wrong....

It doesn't take up any space. It is a shortcut. You will gain nothing.

In order to free up space, you'd need to delete actual files. You gain solely nothing by deleting symlinks that take up no space in and of themselves.

This is not an error or something. It is done so that phones with no support for external SD cards do not confuse apps that want to use an external storage. It is done to avoid confusion and prevent errors. There is an emulated or virtual external storage made. Nothing to do with users.

I know that /storage/emulated/0 duplicates some content on my Samsung Galaxy Note II. I have these folders that are not mine, and are in a foregin language that I continually try to delete but they always come back and I didn't put them on there.

Is it possible for someone to do that? I translated the file names and it says, "expectation" "demand" "payment" I don't even know how to put files under that pathway. Don't I have to authorize other users for my phone?

Maybe this is a security question. Should I just toss the phone and get a new one? Take out the SD Card and use it like an early 90's cell phone? I sincerely doubt anyone at the Verizon counter will be able to help.

The only reason someone would do that is a personal vendetta. I'm no one. Any help puzzling this out would be great.

I have these folders in the /stoarge/emulated/0 part of my phone that I did not put there AND I can't delete them - they continually show up.

There are three folders and they are in a foreign language. They translate to "expectation" "demand" "payment" - they are empty. Nothing gets copied in there that I can track, unless its everything. That seems to be an overly complicated way of sending a message.

Is it possible for someone to put folders on my phone and use them to track my stuff? Can someone actually do that? Do I need to just toss the phone? Should I operate it without the SD card like a 90's phone? I sincerely doubt the Verizon people could help. Calling them too. I have a Galaxy Note II. iPhone it is next time.

What do you guys prefer as a method to watch locally streamed movies?

For the iPad, VLC streamer worked great.

I tried using VLC and watching it directly as a mkv file saved on the SD card, but was lame for 2 reasons;

1. Took time to transfer the file before watching

2. VLC, being beta and muscling I think a non hardware decoded file, was choppy

I'm computer literate as all nexus users are but I want something that is easy to use, fast to initial start, and takes advantage of the Nexus's hardware decoding.

I think an on the fly transcoding option is best. I think VLC does this natively on the desktop app, but I don't know how to set it up, and I'm not certain the mobile android VLC app can accept VLC streams, but what do I know.

What do you guys use?????

This is a preview build of Android JellyBean 4.2 from AOSP source code based on the CyaogenMod device tree for Acer A700. I have made this build to gauge how difficult it would be to port JellyBean 4.2 to current devices.

Kernel Source Code: https://github.com/pawitp/android_kernel_acer_t30/tree/jellybean-next

Device Tree: None yet available (Only notable part: patch for TinyHAL: https://gist.github.com/4104332)

Downloads

ROM: http://goo.im/devs/pawitp/a700/a700_aosp_jb42_20121116.zip

Google Apps: Currently integrated due to lack of gapps package for 4.2

SuperSU: http://download.chainfire.eu/282/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.98.zip (Currently, only SuperSU is compatible with 4.2)

Installation

Note: due to new /data/media layout in 4.2 for multiple user support, your data in /data/media (/sdcard) will be moved to /data/media/0. This may cause problems in restoring backups in recovery, you may fix it by moving data /data/media/0 back to /data/media via adb in recover prior to restoring data.

Install CWM recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791165

Do a Nandroid Backup!

Install the ROM using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon

Wipe data if coming from stock

Known Issues

Camera does not work

Bluetooth sometimes freezes bringing down Wi-Fi with it
