Than I can not help you sorry.

But if you get root acces go to data/media and check if your photos there if yes than move it from data/media to sdcard. Thats all i can do for you now sorry :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeeve76:
I've had this happen twice. Seemed like it would do it after connecting it to my PC, and then poof, all internal pics gone. Very annoying, I did try to recover them and no luck. My guess is it had something to do with the version of the Samsung Kies at that time, it has not happened again but now I make sure my stuff is always uploaded to cloud storage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bartuus:
look for ".nomedia" files
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaime11:
Thank you. I looked for .nomedia files in the whole phone, found some 0 bytes files created 2-3 days apart on directories \GT-I9300\Phone\WhatsApp\Media\WhatsApp Voice Notes\xxxxxx

They are empty.

Also, I noticed that although the pictures got deleted, space hasn't been freed (I have the same free space as before when the pictures were there).

Which makes me think maybe the pictures didn't disappear...

More suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvivek2:
This might be basic but have you checked on the phone file explorer once - sometimes the pics just don't show up on the pc but are visible in phone (something to do with usb mode with connecting)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaime11:
Hello

Yes, I checked with phone file explorer, even trying by showing hidden files, however, there was no luck, nothing showed.

Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jasondhsd:
OK so my last thread got closed because the mods didn't want it turning into a 'this is the best' fight. So I'm not asking that, I simply want to know what KitKat Roms are available that are stable builds, looking in the development forum all I see are nightly Roms and I don't want to be installing updates every day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] twistedillutions:
From my understanding they all on nightly. At least i haven't seen one thread posted as STABLE. And ive tried different Kk roms. And for some ppl wasn't stable and for others was a DD worthy. I suggest reading them post to see wat catches ur eye. I know thats not the answer u want. But front me thats the best i can give. Try LS Beanstalk SOKP SlimKat Gummi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypera:
You do not have to install nightly roms everyday. If one nightly is running "smoothly," leave it alone for a short bit until there some major bug fix, new features added, etc., or when rom starting to act up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jacquestrapp:
The only one I've seen so far that's claimed to be "Stable" is SlimKat: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2400577. Actually it looks like they just released a new stable version yesterday for our phone, Build 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I agree with this about slim. It's a very stable ROM. There are however, alternatives. I'd suggest you try a few and see which ROM's have the best combination of features and stability for you. I've been a huge fan of slim for quite some time now, but recently, I've been running Nameless ROM. I've ran a nightly from the first of the month, and since then have had only one instance where the phone randomly rebooted. In fact, that's the only time I've rebooted it. LOL. For me it has the features I'm looking for without having to resort to using the Xposed framework. I have nothing against Xposed, it's always worked great for me, but I just prefer to have features baked in if at all possible.

I'm sure there's a ton of other good roms too, many people like Gummy, Beanstalk, Paranoid, PACMAN (can't think of the exact name), and GideonX's builds of various roms (check them out at droidhype.net), liquid, Carbon, and other's are nice too. Many have too many featues for me, and some have not enough or lack what I'm looking for.

So again, Try a few and see what YOU like. That's the best answer I can give. I doubt that many are "stable", but they've been stable enough for me. As I mentioned with Nameless, they're not labeled as stable, and nightlies are just that, nightlies, but you'll find that most nightlies are "stable"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
Also, what others consider stable may not be what you consider stable as that standard can be very subjective.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremy702:
I've been using Mastamoon's 4.4 for a few weeks now and it's been pretty damn stable for me. I'm a few days behind on updating nightly so that I don't run into any bugs, but I was happy with his 4.3 ROM back in the day and his 4.4 is turning out just as good.

2. we make the wipes and than we flash the flashable?

3. we flash supersu?

please detail. right now i have v10h rooted with freegee and busybox. so i can unlock the bootloader at any time..using freegee.

btw. 2 more mirrors son..so please make a flashable zip and put the flashable. if your internet is slow.. you can make flashable in my pc using team viewer and i upload fast.

1)Done the replacement

2) instalation sucessfully (but too quick.... only 2/3% of system instalation blue line)

3) Reboot

4) Root access was missing (root device yes: /system/xbin/su)

5) Google logo appear and black screen after... nothing more
[LG Optimus G (International)] :
Shouldn't click root device, it messes things up. Try without that. Other than that, idk what's wrong.
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
same too. how to recover from this?
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:
Same thing... I think that the problem is that system instalation is not complete, despite the instalation message is sucessfully.
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
ok. but how we recover our phone?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
Why are u flashing if u don`t even know how to restore a nandroid backup ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:
Press vol+ and vol - and power at same time, enter recovery (vol - 2x) and restore you backup.
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
hehe.. i did the flashing with bootloader locked. so no recovery. i installed 2nd init only. now im in download mode... and recovering v10h with kdz

with v 10.h you can use KDZ_FW_UPD without any https and system32 and offline hack tool and etc...
[LG Optimus G (International)] ITzRicardo94:
One question, why is the file so big? Mostly ROMs are 300 to 500mbs, sometimes more and sometimes less, but 1GB? Hmm..
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
For me it`s volume+ and the power button at the same time.. than scroll down until u see "recovery", and with God`s help do a restore, if u have previously made a backup.
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:
This is not relevant.

ArtMod stock ROM is around 800/900MB.
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
okey. so..whats next? i got my 4.1.2 back .
[LG Optimus G (International)] rimsilva:

[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
epsilon meta-inf files do not work.. status 7..using 2-init recovery
[LG Optimus G (International)] mastor10:
i remember in the vanir rom if you have a status 7 problem you delete some lines from the meta, would you try that?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
yeah, what lines ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
First one.on updater script

Try meta-inf atached. For some reason the devs says that we need to use 2init-recovery. So try whit that only. Its on google play.
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
with bootloader locked? or unlocked? that is very ambiguous.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
deleting the first line didn`t help at all.. error while setting permission

I`ll be back in a minute.. gonna try your sample
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
You need to unlock it with old method. For my it always make bootloop so make a backup and try.

The devs says the new bootloader mako dont work so dont try if you have nexus bootloader.

---------- Post added at 11:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 PM ----------

[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
i unlocked the bootloader with classic method. now i'm waiting.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
Okey so now, flash exactly the test.zip if you downloaded and flash it with 2ini-recovery. If that dont work try reemplazing my metainf zip. If no one work i dont know how to do it.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
yeah, it's possible, since our device is so similar to the N4 we can port kernels from them [MENTION=4003363]xboxfanj[/MENTION] has ported a few

neeh. enough with this madness. i will wait and see what works and than flash.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
[MENTION=5124706]ThatKawaiiGuy[/MENTION] can you make a flashable zip of kit kat ? you should know how to do it you are a great dev. Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] Brontok:
doesn`t work.. the installation goes without an error..but it gets stuck at lg logo
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:

[LG Optimus G (International)] mastor10:
just a quick note, when you return to stock, it takes some time to start, so leave it a couple of minutes or 3 or 4 or....ok thats enough, and see
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
Do you have the old unlock method with lg Logo and flashe with 2init-recovery app from play store ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
For what device?

I don't have Kitkat, but I guess I'll take the Test.zip and see what I can do.

Whenever you guys can, I'd like for you to put organized, detailed instructions for preparing to flash (go to stock, flash This, blah blah, etc.) , I don't feel like going through all these pages.

Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] dwielunski:
I can also test on LS970 (though if that's your device may be superfluous)
[LG Optimus G (International)] :
The dump appears to be missing something I think because I've used this same method on ICS and JB to make flashable zips from stock.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ThatKawaiiGuy:
I was actually gonna ask for a tester, but constantly transferring a 1 gig file is superfluous though.
[LG Optimus G (International)] :
I've got 1 more .zip. My last attempt though because this file is too much to keep uploading.
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
I made my own zip and flashed with TWRP... Although it flashed with success, there is no rom. The OS just doesn't boot. I can only access recovery.

And I noticed something interesting; when I try to reboot system from TWRP, it says "there is no OS installed, are you sure you want to reboot?" Weird really...

[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
What happen if i flash that ?

i can do it right ? we have no hw differences btw f180 and e975
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
There was a tool G2 users used to create flashable zips out of KDZ files. I wonder If that would work...

BTW, I think there is something wrong with the system dump; I did everything right but still TWRP says there is no OS.

there isn't . just the baseband

http://www.cellrabta.pk/2013/10/how-to-convert-f180-skl-to-e975-lg-optimus-g/

they need baseband to convert from their phone to ours. the rest..they just flash our kdz.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
So if i flash my modem, i will dont have signal ? i have a flashable zip for my modem. i used it for jelly bean when i install other kdz for example from brazil, and flashing that it works.
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
Hmm, that's okay but still I don't recommend anyone to do so. Because that would update the bootloader and there is no way to unlock the bootloader right now. You flash KDZ you will have a non rootable and non unlockable OG.
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
right ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
give me your flashable baseband for e975. thank you.

he's right. i don't know whats about new bootloader. but i think we can always flash 4.1.2 using kdz flasher...no?
[LG Optimus G (International)] nch26:
i dont know if is baseband, its only one file, called modem, that is for my country Argentina, which is the one that give me signal. for example if i flash spain kdz.

Also i cant share it because very slow internet conecction.

[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
i'm curious...how the verion shared last night was good for us? i mean the guy from vietnam said ht tested and everything went ok ..signal was good. than... maybe we have a chance for signal? that i don't know.
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
I think the best thing to do would be to download the KDZ, extract it, take the system.img and boot.img and put in a proper flashable zip file like the ones shared a couple of pages back.
[LG Optimus G (International)] CrawnberyJack:
well do that.. i need to go to work in 30 mins...no time.
[LG Optimus G (International)] furkandeger:
He tested by creating a flashable zip using only system.img and boot.img. If you flash KDZ that includes the modem also and this will cause the signal to get lost. He said the old modem worked with KitKat but I don't know, maybe he was wrong.
