[Q] Help please - folder strucure - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've managed to brick my Galaxy trying a lag fix. However, I still seem to be able to connect to the phone using ADB. I have been able to 'pull' some files from the system folder onto my c drive so I'm hoping I can get some pictures off it.
Can someone please help me with the standard folder structure on the internal card. I need to know what the picture folder is called.
Cheers,
Matt

Found it after a bit of looking:
/sdcard/dcim/camera
Managed to recovery all my pictures. Will make I back my files before I start messing about with it again.

PIM Issue

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone had any tips as far as getting the pim file back into the root directory of the phone.
It keeps the file in use when the phone is on and I'm unable to copy it.
Unfortunately when the phone is off I can't see it connected any more via USB.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone know how to copy the file on device boot maybe?
Don't know but I can copy the pim file to my MC and back without any problems.

Hi:
I used this file to increase volume on my Fuze. Seemed to work very well for me.
Hope this helps.
Just delete the file you have there, soft reset, and the original will come back by itself
Thanks for posting the files guys! I'm running RRE, and my mic is way out of whack. I've had many complaints of noise while I am on the line. I'm hoping that restoring my audiopara3.csv file will fix the problem. BUT, I am having serious problems extracting the file in order to synch it to my phone. Is there a trick that I'm missing? I can't even get the file to show up on my desktop after I move it. Should I only be replacing the audiopara3.csv file? Do the other audiopara files have any impact here? TIA guys. I really appreciate your responses.
Not sure if the audiopara has hidden/system attributes but to convert back to stock, del in windows dir and soft reset. The system will revert to stock settings.
BTW if you have one to play with just copy it from the SD to the windows dir using TotalCommander and leave AS alone.
Thanks tyguy. I am using total commander. I went and selected audiopara3.csv, but after I tell the phone to delete, it gives me a warning window:
Could not delete 1 file(s)!
Any idea what could be causing this to happen? From what I've been reading, it should be pretty easy to either overwrite / delete this file, so I don't know why I'm having so much trouble.
Most likely it is in use. Check the TC settings that you are permitted to see/access/delete system files.
Try to rename and delete
I'm running Total Commander/CE v2.51
The only TC settings I have are language settings.
I checked the file attributes for audiopara3.csv, and they are set to 'read only' and 'in ROM'. When I uncheck the read only and save, the next time i check the file properties, the check box reverts back to being selected. I might need to revert back to the stock ROM if I can't get this audio stuff to work.
I don't have the original anymore, but this one really helped, it's loud and no distortions. Unzip first.
squirrel, did you try to rename or move it using TC?
Worked for me all the time.
i get the same error when trying to rename, edit, or move.
I'm happy to be able to report some resolution. What I was able to do was copy the entire zip file to my phone with all the audiopara files that herg posted on the last page. Then, using totalcommander, I was able to extract the files one by one to the windows directory and overwrite the files. Thanks for all of your help guys! Everyone who had to put up with the static while talking to me sincerly appreciates it!

Download it man, and unzip it in the root of your SDcard , then run the HARET in your PDA... its all
i have download there seems to be only 1 file ive put it in the root of my SDcard but i cant find a file for haret maybe a link could do
also which files must i download becuase ive only download the System pack in Post #4 and like i said there is only 1 file there
I'm also a noob, but I figured it out.
1. download the other file on post #4. The "bundle."
2. open up windows explorer, if you're running windows, so you can open up the SD card. Make sure it's formatted in FAT32 (right click on the SD card in explorer and look through the properties, or just click "format."
3.unzip the bundle file, there should be a folder named "andboot" in it.
4. copy everything from "andboot" and copy it to the SD card.
5. Go into the folder, in all the junk you just copied, called Startup Config.
6. Find your model, "Topaz" and copy the statrup.txt file, not the other one.
7. Go back up to the top of the SD card and paste it there.
8. Disconnect the phone, and go in through file explorer and run the file Harnet.exe on the SD card.
It will take some time, but it should all boot up fine.
Watch the video, it should help, if not, ask more questions.
(it wouldn't let me post the link, so search youtube for TheDeadCPU and watch his video on XDAndroid 2.2)

Have you figured it out yet? It should ask you if you want to run Haret. I'm not sure exactly what you mean, could you explain?
well when i click on haret.exe it asks to run something
Still not working
Hey guys,
I have followed the instructions, but when I click on haret.exe it turns my mda compact IV off, but when the phone starts it just starts windows mobile and no android at all. I don't knw what to do? Please help!
Alan
I installed the XDANDROID 2.2 on my HTC DT2. It works fine the only BIG problem I have is I can't type in the terminal emulator for some unknown reason.
I tried everything and don't know what to try anymore.

Cappy being crappy help!!!

Hey guys i have a problem with my cappy. When i plug the phone to the computer and i try to open the folder, the message pop out and it says "unable to open the script file".
I am running ICS 4.0.3
thanks.
bump! plz help...if you need any additional information about the problem i will try to explain the best i can.
right click the drive letter assigned to the phone.
chose expand or open, do not choose autorun
if it opens ok, you have an autorun problem with your drives. possibly a bug in your computer or you accidentally placed an autorun file on your phone card or both
Hey man i did what you said to do and it opens fine, but i cant get to open any folder i just get the message unable to open the script file when i double click on any folder on my phone, but i can open zip files . Is there any way i can find and delete this "autorun file".
Thanks
does the same procedure work on each folder in your phone? right click and choose expand or open?
If so, and there is no autorun file in the folders, then you have a bug in your computer. Start researching on how to scan and clean your computer. It is beyond the scope of this forum to get into that.
If there is an autorun in each folder on your phone, something put them there and they don't belong. Delete them using any file explorer app (root access file explorer might be necessary depending on where the file is located), see if they come back. If they come back when not connected to your computer, you have a bugged phone or a malfunctioning app. short answer in this case is to backup and wipe your phone. Backups may not be trustworthy either unless you find the culprit.
No way I can be more specific without having the phone in my hand, sorry.
Yes for the each folder is the same thing. I try to open it on different laptop and it does the same thing so it must be in the phone.
I will try to do that and see what happens. Thanks you man a lot.

Transfer system files to external SD card?

My motherboard is toast, I bought a broken phone on ebay and switched out the motherboards but it isnt working. Phone works fine but wont recognize sim card or connect to network. Its just a camera/wifi device atm. So anyway..... I can still get the old motherboard to kinda work enough to play with it, the home buttons dont work or the power button and sometimes freezes up. Is there a way I can put the old motherboard in the phone and copy the system files to the external sd card or computer, then wipe the new motherboard and copy the files from the old mb to the new mb? I believe I have tried everything else but if anyone has any suggestions Im all ears
Thanks!
The easiest way would probably be to take the motherboard you're wanting to pull stuff from, hook it up (in the phone), and via USB in ADB do something like this:
adb pull / \backup
That would create a folder at the top level of your C: drive with all the contents of the phone on it. You could then move all of that to the new motherboard.
(That would probably be something like:
adb push \backup /
but I'm not 100% sure on that. You may have to do a more one-by-one procedure.)
when I try to push the backup I get this message....
failed to copy '\backup/acct/uid/0/task' to 'acct/uid/0/task' : Operation not permitted
Sooooo what did I do wrong??
Also I couldnt find where it saved the backup on my computer.
Ok, found the backup folder on my c: drive but what do I do with it now?
Bump cause I still havent figured this out Seems like I dont have the correct permissions in adb.

If you typed in your backup like what you wrote above (\backup/acct/uid/0/task), it's likely that you're running into an error because you flipped your slashes midway through.
The backup folder needs to be in the platform-tools folder of the ADB installation, as that's where ADB pushes from.
Once you have that, reboot into recovery mode. This may not be 100% necessary, but I usually find that pushes work better from there as the file system is (usually) read-write.
Then, try this:
adb push \backup /
(You may have to switch the slash before the word backup so it reads /backup, I'm not 100% sure.)
If that doesn't work, drag an individual folder out of the backup folder to the main platform-tools folder and type:
adb push /acct \
You'll have to repeat that for each folder, but it should work.
If all that fails, you can try to make a CWM flashable zip file. I don't know exactly what the procedure is for doing this, but I would guess that the answer exists somewhere on this site.

Actually what I typed was adb push \backup / then it gave me that error. It stored the backup folder on my c: drive, I will move it to the tools folder and see if that works. Going to go search on how to make a CWM flashable zip file now. Maybe i'll give that a shot too. Thanks for your help.
So If I am getting this correctly, I take the custom ROM I have flashed to my phone and then I can add my system files to to the system folder in the ROM I can then flash the ROM again and it will install all my files?
In theory, yes, that should work. All the CWM update file does is write the files inside of it to the folders that the updater-script file tells it to.
Again, this should work IN THEORY.

Ok, I tried this and put the .zip on my sdcard and ran it from recovery. Got an error that I didnt have enough space. Any suggestions?
