i found a program that restores my media files, its running atm stellar photo,media and video recovery. so i decided to buy it.
but i am more intrested in my data files (save games, configuration files for luchners, and other configuration files for stuff....)
now its just an experiment, i was thinking to mount the phone in linux (there are many ways to achive it in linux) and try to restore data from there since there is no option to restore data of ext partions in windows...

I have made it a habit of keeping weekly backups from rom manager. Just the thought of what your going through and the amount of pain that comes with it makes me tremble. I royally f'd up my phone 5 times already and I just restore my backup and back to normal without the headaches.
Good luck with your recovery mission.

You can use PhotoRec and/or TestDisk from your Linux machine.

This happened to me once before, but luckily I am taking weekly backups of internal and external SD to a portable HDD.

Well I dont mind loosing a weeks game data, since I am not playing much games these days. But if you want to backup those folders you can use the app 'Titanium Media Sync' to automatically backup selected folders to your dropbox account.

the Android App? im testing, thanks

Stick it into a PC, dont try to recover on the phone itself. Dont copy any data to it, until you have got all of your files back. Recover the files to the PC and not SD card itself.
And then you can try as many free recovery programs, as you want, till you got at least your most important files back

Supreme Wipe

Hey guys, is there a way to supreme wipe internal SD card, so it is like I just bought the phone.. After dozens of different ROM's my internal SD is full of empry folders, some pieces of files and God knows what else.. There was a tool for G2x called "G2X Cleanup Batch" - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/remove-old-clutter-with-batch-cleanup-for-g2x/ Is there anything like that for O2x? Thanks in advance!

I just plug my phone into my computer, do select all, then delete, then empty recycle bin to wipe everything from the sd card.

You want go back to stock rom, cleaning everything? (deleting cwm too?)
I had to do it yesterday, I did something that my cellphone couldn't mount E: and stuck on CWM.

Well not external SD, but internal - phone memory.. Kinda risky to format phone without knowledge, that this wont brick my phone..
"Okay, so wiping is a bit inaccurate. What the application actually does is re-create all the partitions, destroying all remaining data in the process. Says mansa_noob" I'ts about application for G2x I wonder maybe there is something like that for our phones..

the fastest way is to unmount internal from menu and just format it but you will not have preinstalled test apps that lg provides(not a big lose they were all demos)

Do you mean you want to format the internal 8gb SD card, or do you want to wipe the 1gb internal storage?
If it's just the internal 8gb SD you can do as I posted above, i've done it a few times. If you want to want to wipe the internal storage, then probably I would go into CWM, do a factory reset, then reinstall a fresh ROM of your chopice that you have on your SD card etc...

Or SmartFlash can do pure stock, all internatl Enrico/OSP stuff, if your phone works (or even in bootloop)... tested few days ago.

Well, I'll explain how to fully wipe your cellphone and install 2.2.2 version.
Warning: I'm not responsible for any damage caused into your phone
- Necessary files:
nvflash+v10b rom MD5: B17CB7FD3542B5D02BAF49879A83ACFF
nvflash driver MD5: B630C36DEF01E6912407840BBB033BCA
- How to:
Turn off your phone
Take out your battery
Press volume up + volume down and connect to your computer usb
Your screen will keep black, don't worry
Check in device manager if there's any APX with error
Right click it to install driver manually
Browser to driver folder
Install driver (ignore any warning)
Now there's "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices"
It's time to flash the rom
Execute "flash.bat"
If the install is stuck on "Nvflash started", unplug and try again
For me only worked in the 2nd try
After that I rooted using SuperOneClick, installed CWM and see my signature :silly:

Here. But it doesn't wipe internal sd. Might help though. ^^

[Q] I'm out of free space, but how??

I'm running Kitkat 4.4.2 from insertcoin. The Storage space is 25.4gb, and I'm using 16gb of it, but my phone says I'm out of free space. I tried Clearing out all my data from my SD, and it still said my SD had about 10gb in use. I'm thinking maybe its some system data, but what part of the OS could be taking up 10gb?
Also, I've got some sort of audio dump going on under /Data/Audio that I have to keep deleting through android commander. how can I turn off the auto audio dump?

You have any nandroid backups? Each of those, including data, will be around 2-3 gb. In TWRP they are in a folder in the TWRP directory. Don't know about CWM.

I move all my backups to my PC...

This happened to me once. The way I dealt with it was I transferred all of my important files (e.g. pics, vids, nands, etc) to my computer, then formatted the internal storage and installed a fresh ROM.

and its still okay? I tried that about a week ago, but I didn't flash a fresh rom, I just reformatted the storage partition and I gained about 6gb, which has now disappeared.

Try a few storage apps from Playstore.. I can't recommend something but there are a few which will get you a good idea.

reinstalling the ROM seems to have fixed my problem, but now I've got a new problem. I guess I should make a new thread for it though. thanks for the help!

try downloading diskusage from the playstore. it should give you a pretty accurate view of your completely usage and where its coming from and then you can go about clearing space up

[Q] Imternal sd awkwardly partitioned

Hi all,
I noticed that my internal sd card has two 0 folders, they are like so
Sdcard/0/0/
Everything from internet saves on the first /0/Download for ex., i am now on arhd 51, but previously on archidroid everything saved inside /0/0/Download, is there any way to fix this, or repartition or something without need to wipe all the data in sd? Because everything is messed up and i don't know any more wich uses what folder and so on.
Thx in front.
Edit: posted in i9305 not i9300 Q&A, mods please transfer, sorry for that.

can you post some screenshots of the two folders and their content, perhaps i can tell you what to do?
Edit: you can also copy all the files in one of the 0 folders to the other 0 folder and delete the empty one, i asked for screenshots just to make sure if there is any important file in one of those folders that maybe will cause problems with functioning of other apps or system settings if you replace it.

Here is the /0/0/ and i cannot delete archidroid folder or clockworkmod folder (write protected), also if i copy pictures from 0/0/DCIM/Camera to 0/DCIM/Camera, they are not shown, even after reboot when mediascanner is running, when i transfer them back they are imediately shown.
Edit: i can delete archidroid and clockworkmod folder, but via phone, not via pc, but the probem with transfering pictures to now used DCIM still persists.

I transfered all the pics inside a new folder in sdcard/0/DCIM but they just don't wanna show, they pop up only in sdcard/0/0/DCIM
What can cause this problem? (I can normally view them in file managers.
I noticed that when i force run media scanner it scans storage/emulated/0/0/
It doesnt scan the first /0/ that is used now, can this be fixed?

oke bro, here is what you should do everything personal and important to you like pics./music/documents copy to your external sd card or to your pc if possible both should be safe. format your internal sd card of the phone in recovery mode after everything is restored back put your files back into proper folders and all should be fine again. you are rooted and have custom recovery installed right?

Yes of course i'm rooted with twrp, i tought there was some other way than getting in all that copy paste, but i'll do that and then it must, just must work.
I think i messed something up in archidroid installation when it asked for EXT4 repartitioning or something like that.

yes that must be it, as i had read somewhere on these threads a similar problem like yours its better to avoid changing or setting options from which you dont understand what they do like EXT4 or F2FS partitions unless you know what you are doing. at least thats what i do to avoid any problems with my device

Yes, i know now for future, but, one more question..
It's 'calculating time for copy...' now, i see it'll take ages to 'calculate', so, is there any option to just mount the internal sd card, i remember i could mount it via CWM on my old S2 and everything went quick, but i cannot mount just SD anymore, only as a 'Media device', it seems quite slower..
Do you know an option to do that?
Edit: Disabled indexing, it's flying now

I do recommend using philz touch CWM advanced edition or just the CWM touch version as a recovery choice (especially philz) rather than Twrp, but its all up to you..

I was on philz quite a while, now testing twrp, i did the wipe, everything's perfect now, but i accidentaly deleted my pics coz' they were in the 0/0/ and i deleted the second 0 thinking i don't need it
I got a little shock but i'll recover
