[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
It's odd. When I flashed Paranoid 2.99 all my files were still there. However some files weren't being used so I deleted whatever I was sure was on the SD card that android wasn't using. After doing that that a bunch of files went missing after rebooting, including the DCIM folder which I'm sure I didn't touch.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQues...oget_your_files_back_after_flashing_a_42_rom/

I used this to help me but I didn't even find the media folder it was talking about.

Any suggestions?

Edit:

What I'm sure is missing.

Titanium Backups, Pictures (DCIM foldier), and cwm backups.

Edit: I've checked sdcard, storage, data/media and none of them have my missing files. Hopefully my Christmas pictures aren't gone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Quick update: Every time I try to do a backup with Titanium, files don't appear on the phone. What's going on?

Edit: I can see them in a file manager on the phone, but not on the PC

Edit: Ok now I'm confused. I made a backup from CWM of when everything was fine and dandy(stock, pictuers there, etc) but when I restored it, the file structure started to slowly change. I saw right before my own eyes folders being deleted (dissapearing is the right term). Then I check my space and it says that the I'm using 8 gigs of space when I restored from an image that was only using 3 gigs of space. Do CWM backups, back up media files?

Edit 3: I'd like to think this is an important note: None of my clockworkmod backups are reachable through MTP on windows. I can only see them through CWM or a root access file manager. They are located in a folder called "mnt".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
There are two separate things here:

1) CWM backups are no longer accessible by MTP due to the new multiuser layout as of JB4.2. adb pull is your best way to get your backups now. I just back the whole sdcard up at once. Mount /data in CWM then "adb pull /data/media/ C:\sd\"

Grab adb and fastboot from this post if you don't already have them: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25477039#post25477039

2) MTP files are completely dictated by the Android MediaStore DB. It's pretty easy for the DB to get out of sync since no root explorers properly support updating its entries. Simple solution though: force it to rebuild the MediaStore DB. Settings > Apps > All Apps > MediaStorage - Clear app data+cache. Reboot immediately. Wait 5 minutes or so for the DB to rebuild and they should show up in MTP again. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Thanks, but I have since just formatted and concluded it as a freak accident. Even if I was MTP, it wouldn't have mattered as file managers could find no trace of my pictures and missing files.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Fair enough, but "Edit: I can see them in a file manager on the phone, but not on the PC" is MediaStore DB being out of sync or corrupt. So if it ever happens again, I guess you'll know what to do. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neosic:
Yep, will do. :good:

I have never rooted a device before, and have searched and spent many hours reading before deciding to post. I apologize in advance if you feel these questions have been answered. I have watched the new member video and read all the rules for posting. Hopefully, I have not broken any.

To the point:

1)If I root my gs3 ( Verizon carrier) will that allow me to run a similar ROM like the nexus 7?

2) The goal I am trying to accomplish is to have my gs3 run, operate and look like my nexus 7 running 4.2:laugh:

Is this even possible?

Fyi I am a plumber by trade, I like tinkering with things, but have never ventured into cyber/code land before. But after my nexus 7 omg these things are amazing.

Thank you for reading and perhaps responding to my questions:D

If your phone is a dual core version from the US then you're in the wrong forum mate..You need to go there to get all the help you need. http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1708..

But if you have a i9300 or i9305 then you can root your phone using odin and chainfire's CF root then just download any custom rom and enter recovery by pressing Home + Volume up + Power..

When you're done playing you can download a stock rom made for your phone use triangle away to get rid of the counter and go back to the way it came from the factory.. If you've done your research you will know where all the items i just listed is..

But remember if you've a dual core version you need to go to the other thread. You will brick your phone if you use anything from here..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajime_android:
Hello, just trade-in my Galaxy Note for the Note 2 LTE. Before I sold my Galaxy Note, I exported the data to my external sd card. After I bought the Galaxy Note 2, I inserted it into the device. It seems that everything is in "My Files/extSdCard". I have a few questions:

1. Whenever I open /storage/extSdCard/DCIM, the sign Processing... shows up and the circle keeps spinning, I have to wait for about 20 seconds in order for the list shows up. My external sd card is SanDisk 16GB micro HC. As far as I recall, it is about class 4 or 5. As the GNote 2 is faster, is it time to get a faster SD card? Which one do you recommend? I take lots of photos and videos.

2. When I opened "/storage/extSdCard/DCIM", there is list of files all with strange symbols as filenames. What are they? Why the filenames became strange symbols?

3. When I pressed Gallery, there are only four folders namely: Camera(4), Camera(211). DCIM(2), Video(1). I found a lot of photos missing. How can I put everything back to original locations as if the Galaxy Note 2 were my original Note?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myaslioglu:
Well, 1st and 2nd questions gives out the idea that partitioning of that sd card is problematic. Take it out, format with fat32 (assuming you have non-exfat supported kernel) retry. If you have the same issues, the sd card may be fake-formatted. (that actually happens) What I mean with fake format is, you sometimes buy an sd card from an unauthorized seller, or a website, it shows 16gb-32gb and so on, but it actually is lower capacity.

3rd question shall be related too.

And for speed issues, which i profoundly find adequate for my note2, download romtoolbox or any sdbooster. Increase cache a little bit. Depends on your choice.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hajime_android:
That is an interesting idea. I got the sd card from a reputable electronic store in HK. It was a gift, advertised on Samsung HK's website, when I bough the Galaxy Note in the summer.

I lost root when I had to factory reset my phone after the OTA upgrade. I was getting Motorola Services Stopped Errors randomly and I couldn't identify the app(s) causing it so I just reset.

Is there a root yet for the JB? I am going to assume not since it is so new.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Nope no way to root yet. Most likely you had a problem because the proper procedure wasn't followed that's on droidrzr.com (not sure if its here yet)

[Motorola Droid RAZR] badjedi:
You can try to use Matt's root fixer found here Root Fixer near the bottom of page 19.

Download file above - Extract

Enable USB Debugging in Settings/Development (if it's grayed out you need to enable development tools at the top slider)

Enable "Unknown Sources" in Settings/Privacy

Connect Phone

go to Settings/Storage menu softkey "USB Computer Connection"

Select MTP

Run .bat tool

Should see 0 and all is well

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tech_head:
There is no way back and no way to root, yet.

I tried rooting a JB Razr Maxx for two days with a combination of methods.

They have closed all the exploits The one that looked promising, and came close requires being able to generate a debug log.

I couldn't get the JB Razr to do that.

So as of now, no root...

I opened the bat file and ran each command manually in a dos window to see which area was causing issues. I compared the files the bat file was looking or with what I could find with Astro file viewer. Some of the paths were incorrect. Once I corrected the paths and continued to execute each line manually it finally worked.

Thanks Matt!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iguanad:
Can you correct the file and repost? Or at least tell us the corrected paths?

To all who are interested, if you find where the file su-backup is on your phone all you need to do is correct the file path in the batch file using text editor wherever su-backup is mentioned.

Hey Matt, I see that I have system/su-backup and also su binary in system/xbin. Yet still, your script is not restoring root. I had root after 4.1.2 upgrade and using your restore root tool, but had to do a factory reset. Now it won't work the second time.

Alright, it looks like i'm stuck since I did not root before I upgraded my Razr Maxx to JB. If that's not correct, please let me know.

Also, i'm led to believe that going back to ICS is impossible because that will brick the phone, so now i'm waiting for a root for JB.

Any ideas on when that might come out?

probably have to get new or re-conditioned cell.

Might have to pay Deductible on insurance if you have it. when i bought my SGS3 last month, i asked at purchase, they said under insurance it would be reconditioned (not new replacement) which turned me off and i think it was high deductible (like 50-150)... i have no insurance on 4 sgs3's and will break even if no problems in 7 months, so i'm not worried. (figured 7 months x 4 cell's insurance)

if you have cell phone in 1st 20 days you should be able to get exchanged for free of work something out..after 20 days your 2 yr contract will be finalized. you might be able to use that info, take advantage, and your not stuck in contract yet and want phone problem fix'd

at this point from here on out use Stock cable that came with cell, and no Aftermarket ones.

troubleshooting : do you have any other android or MICRO USB devices, that you check to see if cable problem or android device problem.

hopefully a cable probelm.

NONE of this is below is recomended (unless you understand what your doing)...

___________________________________________________________________

if your stuck with the cell, and you have nothing to loose...

I'd be careful and use a PRECISION TOOL set (usually have 6 small screwdrivers in a case for cheap)

A) use smallest screw driver and carefully pry the female outer metal cage in so it's tight fit...

or

B) notice that micro USB cords (on male end have 2 pointy pieces that stick out on Flat side...inspect your cable to see if defective

(understand those 2 points and what they do, so you can fix cell)

but way before all this, inspect the MICRO USB port on cell... the center piece is electrical, don't pry that, that is sensative. Understand what your doing, never rush anything, ask a friend if you must.

Hello,

I have rooted my Kyocera Rise recently so that I could install hp beats audio drivers on the phone. Something went wrong during the install and now the audio drivers are corrupted and crash the app whenever it has to create a sound. My question is that since I have heard the kyocera rise is pretty locked down on the rom flashing side, is there anyway that I could reinstall the stock 4.0.4 on the kyocera rise?

I am a complete n00b when it comes to flashing roms, but am still pretty good with hardware. Could anyone give me a little guidance on what I have to do to restore the stock android or what I have to do to flash a stock rom. Thanks.

F.Y.I. I did do a TB but was an idiot and did not verify the files, and now everything is corrupted. Thanks for all the help!

Also, if anyone has the stock drivers in the system folder such as etc and the others, that would help a lot, and a TB backup of stock would be even better.

My mother and I want to get rid of my Play to Verizon and I need to factory reset it since I got a new phone. I did see another post of this with the answer being "no" but that was a year ago. I don't know if Verizon recycles them or sells them as Certified Pre-Owned but if the bootloader is unlocked, I don't know if they would take it. Since Sony officially offers free unlocks now, would it matter? I know factory resetting it using an FTF resets it just fine but it leaves the bootloader unlocked.

I know that in many thread sections, users have a review thread. I have not seen one for the Xperia J yet. Are there any Xperia J users that would like to mention what they like and dislike about their phone?

I notice the battery is huge, I wonder do users get a couple of days use before having to charge again? I've heard about a lag on the phone, do people find this? Also, I read that the audio is not brilliant, any ivews? :fingers-crossed:

Battery 2-3 days

Audio speaker it's powerfull, with good bass

Keyboard very laggy, exchanged with SwiftKey

Even dialing a number I've counted some lags, exchanged with Dialer

Camera it's poor in low light conditions, very good outside in sunny landscapes

Evidently nice design

And a final aspect, at this price range its a bargain.

If you want a clean and sharp screen, hd, no lags, a perfect camera, go for a flagship xperia.
