No, it's fine. It's what the thread is for, to service these kind of queries instead of creating new threads.

You are right, in that the /sdcard or /data/media/0 is not backed up in a nandroid backup. nandroid backs up /system, /cache and /data (excluding legacy and 0, 1, 2 etc). It may backup more depending on what recovery you are using and what options you have configured for backups.

In regards to /data corruption, it is really hard to say because each corruption case is different. All i can really tell you is backup your backups off device.

Let's cut to chase.

1. I'm not comfortable with MTP type connection.

2. I want to split internal memory to two partitions.

3. How to do that? (Like 7GB for Internal Android files and remaining space like 5.9GB for /sdcard)

4. Enable /sdcard partition to mount as Mass Storage drive when I connect device to computer...

Previously I've been telling the need for that. Just reply whether it's possible to and how to...

Can u get me now?
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
I got THAT and NO IT IS NOT Possible. I wanted to understand the problem so I could offer alternative solutions but since you cannot be bothered to explain yourself correctly, I no longer want to try and help you. Get me now?
[Nexus 5 General] arvindgr:
I won't have wrote much times if I have not bothered. I'm glad that you got the thought.

This reply implied as if it is possible. Actually this is not some problem. Since you have asking me detail problem, I want to portray the need. Rather than asking to detail problem for more times, you could have quoted have specific part, so that more information is gathered. Thank you for your time spent ... ^_^

Lost my storage space after factory image restore.

So after a wonky AOKP nightly flash, I decided to flash-back to stock using this OP.

However, after I successfully ran the "flash-all.bat" and then rebooted the phone, my 32GB Nexus 5 that I paid 400$ for is now about 16GB short on storage space.

Is there a way to fix this?

I have a nan-droid of the phone prior to the flash-back to stock, but will it restore the storage sizing or fail and corrupt the data?

I don't want to jump the gun here and break it.

I have it running on the stock KOT49H img now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

**Edited** I'm a Computer Science undergrad in my third year, should anyone want to help me through this, please refrain from the usual, "did you try this, [insert something obvious]" That would be really helpful.

Thanks Again.

************NM******* Just found the second post by abaaaabbbb63 after searching a bit more. have yet to try it yet though. I'll re-post here and there if it works. (damn you, tricky search parameters!)

WELLLLLLL still no dice. followed the 2nd post about fixing the storage size to the letter, five times in a row. still the same after every single attempt. So. epic fail.

Suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] Winesnob:
Happened on my wife's nexus 4, solved with a factory reset. From the sounds of the similarity, something in the scripting on the flash-all.bat is not properly reading the device hardware when writing the userdata partition.

So, on Nexus 5 if you do a wipe data/factory reset through CWM, will it erase the contents of the /sdcard (or /data/media/0)?

No. Stock recovery does. Custom recovery avoids this

No such file or directory

I tried using /data/media/0/dcim/camera/*.* to pull from the phone but it did not work. I get that error no matter what. If I use the adb shell I can navigate to the sdcard with no problem. I was able to use this command on my Nexus 4 just fine but it seems that my Nexus 5 is just not capable of copying files to/from the sdcard storage.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
What error?
[Nexus 5 General] racer_d:
It is right above what was quoted, but the error is "No such file or directory". I have no idea why it is working. I run windows 8.1 and explorer is kind of wonky with copying files from android so i prefer this method.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Oh I see. You've used the post title section. FYI, many of us using Tapatsalk will not see that. Always try to keep your posts self contained within the message body ;)

couple of things.

1) its case sensitive.

2) *.* is superfluous.

adb pull /data/media/0/DCIM/Camera

...is enough. Will pull to wherever the cmd is opened though (directory) so you may want to

adb pull /data/media/0/DCIM/Camera c:\users\racer_d\desktop\DCIM
[Nexus 5 General] racer_d:
when I try that method I get remote object '/data/media/0/DCIM/Camera' does not exist. I do see my device when I run adb devices. I can run the shell and navigate to the files on it fine too.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Are you in recovery? And mounted data?
[Nexus 5 General] racer_d:
Not in recovery, I just plug in the device and try to run the command. I do have usb debugging mode on.
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
If you're not in recovery, you need rw access or use /sdcard

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera

Otherwise

adb root
restarting adbd as root
adb shell
mount -o rw,remount /data
exit
adb pull /data/media/0/DCIM/Camera

png thumbnails in MTP

[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] thank you for your elaborate explanation in the OP. I understand your description of PTP, MTP and usb mass storage. My question is related to viewing files when in MTP mode.

But first some background in case it is helpful in formulating your reply. I have a Nexus 5 running stock kitkat 4.4.4 with apex launcher pro. The nexus device drivers on my computer are current and I have no problem connecting the phone to the computer in MTP mode with a usb cable and accessing the files. File associations on my computer are in order. When viewing on the computer, I can see thumbnails of png files saved on the computer. Also when viewing on the phone, I can see thumbnails for png files saved on the phone.

When I connect the phone to the computer with MTP (or PTP for that matter) and attempt to view the screenshots (that are png files on the phone and made by the phone) on the computer I can't see the thumbnails of any png files. All I can see are icons of Microsoft Picture Manager for all png files. I am able to see thumbnails of most jpg/jpeg files but not all of them. Once I copy/move png files from the phone to the computer I am able to see their thumbnails on the computer.

The inability to see png files is most frustrating when trying to organize images and move images back and forth between the nexus and the computer which I do a lot.

Is there a way, when in MTP, to be able to see png thumbnails through my computer for such files that are on the phone?

Thanks for the great OP. Although I already knew most of it, I did learn a few things and it really is explained very clearly, I'm definitely bookmarking this for the future :good:

I do have a question though. A while ago you said -

Followed by -

Personally, I really hate MTP and if there was a way to manually re-partition the internal storage so that there was a partition that can be mounted as USB storage I would be all over it.... I understand it may be very diffuclt and risky but just wanted to a clarification - is it indeed impossible and if so why?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] danarama:
Firstly, glad I helped.

Secondly in regards to the partition, it is impossible for us as users to do. The partition layout exists on the eMMC. I have seen someone being able to completely remove the partition layout by running a command he didn't understand but there is no way to format it back.

It is technically possible on some devices with Linux commands, however in order to do that you must first be able to mount the eMMC as a device / drive in Linux and that is something we are unable to achieve unless perhaps someone hacked the bootloader - which also is pretty much impossible
[Nexus 5 General] OryZ:
Awesome, thanks.

I was not aware the partition layout resides below what we have access to... it's a real shame too as it would allow us to fix some of the decisions Google has made in this area. Ah well I am going to focus on wireless solutions as half the time I can't get MTP to work properly (probably too many Android devices connected to this PC over time).

sdcard not mounted

After dirty flashing a new ROM (Cataclysm 5.1) I had some problems that I thought would be fixed easily by a clean flash. So I did a factory reset wipe in TWRP and reflashed. Everything installed fine, but now a new problem showed up : the sdcard folder is completely empty and I can't write to it either. My guess is that the emulated sd card does not get mounted. I repeated the flashing process with unchanged results. When booting to TWRP all the data is still visible via the file manager, so the partition does not seem corrupted. Any idea how to fix this ?

Edit : Don't bother, I finally found the solution in

this thread :

The magic command (in a terminal as su) is restorecon -r /data/media/0 .

Everything seems fine now.

reformatting /sdcard to contain two partitions

Hi, I read through the entire thread and there were a few questions that I think were similar to what I'm about to ask but I wasn't sure so I'm going to ask and my apologies if it was already asked and I simply couldn't understand the previous wording..

OK so I am running Linux Deploy with the installation type set to file and the partition type of the install is ext2. This places a file 'linux.img' in a folder on my /sdcard. If you're not familiar with Linux Deploy, it allows me to run an installation of Linux on top of/next to android. The issue is that after Linux Deploy is finished installing Linux into the img file and after I've booted and updated it, the file size reaches 4GB which is the file size limit for FAT. I'm using a 32GB Nexus 5 so I've got plenty of storage space. I currently have like 12 GB of free space on /sdcard. I want to shrink the FAT partition by 8GB and then format the unallocated 8GB to ext2 (or ext4) and then use that for Linux Deploy (which has an option in the app to install to partition). How can I do this?

I have already tried Minitool and AParted. Minitool obviously didnt work because sdcard couldn't be mounted in Windows with a drive letter, and AParted simply never found and sdcard. I have been trying to find a solution to this for days, reading tons of threads and haven't been able to come up with a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So, in general, I will not be able to recover deleted data from my Nexus 5? Does anyone know if this involves TRIM and/or eMMC 4.51 secure erase?
