I have the eps backup file on my sd card, i copied it to my root phone dir but it still didnt solve the problem!! I tried EfsPro as well, didnt work for me! Im a noob so i may be missing something. PLZ HELP ME PPL!! :-((
I'll highly appreciate your help ppl!!

Where did you copy your Backup
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I made a backup via cwm..im trying to restore "data" and "system" via advanced restore and see wether it works..currently doing that
OK let me know then!
If it not works, try the app nitrality from market, you can try to restore your efs backup with the app

didnt work.
So now I am fully restoring it via CWM, before i was rebooting into CWM mode, and then advance restoring.
Ok I'm gonna also try that app and let you know!
Btw thank you so much for your help man!! Im so bloody depressed! :-(
The damage is reversible right? I mean im not a gonner am I? I'll keep you updated!
Since you made an backup of your efs folder its always possible to restore so no reason for getting depressed mate!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I restored it fully, but after the phone rebooted, it just got stuck at the boot screen..i took out the battery after 5 mins as it was still stuck at the boot screen.
What do you suggest now? I'll try that app you suggested once I get my firmware working!
Retiring for bed, will follow up on your advice when i wake up..
Go into the recovery and make a factory reset, if the Akku trick won't work

Did you make sure you flashed with a .pit file as well,? You must do this down grading as the file partitions are different from ics
Ok I tried to go into recovery mode, but the phone would just boot again, from the very first boot screen (where samsung is displayed at the bottom)..so should i flash again with the .pit thingy?
ok guyz nitrality didnt work..flashed it with gingerbread with .pit again..no imei number

Do you have a back up of your efs folder?
Yes i have the efs backup on my pc and ds car. I tried copying the efs to system root dir, but no luck.
the nv_data.bin file is 2MB in the backup folder on my sd card, but as soon as I copy the whole efs folder to root dir, this nv_data.bin file is 0bytes size..
One question, when u copied your Backup into the root directory
Did you made a reboot then?

No I did not reboot after copying it to the root directory. Let me try and I'll let you know
I copied nfs to root again, but the nv_data.bin file is reduced from 2mb to 0bytes as soon as its copied...and reobooted but still no luck...

MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE YOU TRY THIS. IT WORKED FOR ME, BUT YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY!
I did not make this file, it was made for the Note 2, unfortunately I can't find the original thread for it. I had assumed it would not work for us, because the Note 2 had an actual SD card slot, and our phone does not. Anyway, I just tried it and sure enough, it does work perfectly.
If you decide you want to flash back to a 4.1.2 Sense rom from a 4.2.2 AOSP rom go ahead and wipe your phone like you normally would, flash the rom of your choosing, and then flash this file before you reboot. Only thing you'll have left after you reboot the phone, is the "0" folder. But it's empty since it moved all your files back to where they should be. Make sure you delete that "0" folder after the reboot. When I rebooted to TWRP after setting up, it appeared I had nothing on internal storage because it was still reading the "0" folder.
I'm very happy that this file actually works so now I can play with all the roms I want without the headache.
Me or the original creator of this file are not responsible for what you chose to do with your phone! That said it worked for me, and it SHOULD work for you.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for taking the leap and trying this out and then sharing.

Added this to my FAQ Guide Q14
Worked like a charm. Thanks! :good:
Thanks OP, worked perfectly for me as well.
For anyone who didn’t know about this problem before flashing a 4.2.2 ROM (like me!), and doesn’t have a back-up of their internal SD, I found one way to retrieve it. Although there was nothing too terribly important on it, I experimented with ADB while in recovery and found that I could pull a copy of the entire internal SD with one command. For anyone else who finds themselves in this position and wants to try it, the command I used is:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ c:\sdcard\
This is probably dirt simple for most folks here, but I had to try a few times before figuring out how to do it without it simply dumping ALL the files right into my tools folder! That will work, but it can be a mess to sort out. The command above will create a folder in the root directory of your PC named sdcard and very neatly plop all the files in the correct place. You can change the destination to suit your needs, of course, but the above worked for me.
Tried it from the q/a thread. Works great dude, thanks a lot.
Awesome! Will try this today, thanks for sharing.

While in Tranquil, use Total Commander or Root Explorer file explorer to delete the 0 directory. This will break the symlink and TWRP will look at the right directory after that.

I added a few lines to the "updater-script" so that it would delete the "0" folder (as failsafe, in case .sh script didn't delete it) but I need someone to test it. I only added two lines to the actual updater script file so it "should" work. Someone PM me and I'll send you the link.

I just tested and uploaded a corrected version. I flashed it successfully via my recovery (TWRP) and verified that it deletes the "/data/media/0" folder. Let me know if you have any problems with the new zip. For the people who downloaded this previously, you will need to re-download. My bad on the silly error. :silly:

I should start doing this before every flash. because last night I tried a 4.2.2 rom that didn't boot up and when I went into recovery TWRP was reading from the /0 directory and I didn't have any backup roms to reflash.... so I got worried that I was going to lose all my sdcard data and RUU restore my phone
so if youre phone ever gets stuck with no rom in your directory to flash and you have a working ADB. just move the rom to your ADB directory and type: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ while in TWRP. once its done pushing the file will show up when you go through the install directory and if you're going back to a 4.1.2 rom make sure you push the restore-sd.zip. I think it's time to invest in an USB-OTG flash drive as a security blanket.
wasn't sure if this method was covered before but just in case things f up. :thumbup:

If you want a clean rom, you can format sdcard using cwm and sideload new rom.zip
worked fine for me.

Hey all
I was looking a solution for a problem and found one. Thought of sharing it with you. Let me know if it helps.
Problem
I usually switches between roms / dual boot between 4.1 and 4.2 . The issue with this is 4.2 moves all content of the sdcard to the /sdcard/0 folder. So once 4.2 is installed, if i move to a 4.1 rom it wont be able to read the sdcard content as all data is moved to /sdcard/0 folder
Solution :
I had created a script that will mount the sdcard content inside /sdcard/0. So when the rom looks in to the zero folder it sees the data of the sdcard . so no issues.
Steps :
1. Install any 4.2.2 ROM
2. Install the sdcardzeroMounter.zip
3. RebootYou will now see your sdcard in the /sdcard/0 folder ...
Note : If you delete the 0 folder . you are deleting the /sdcard itself.
Changelog:
02-OCT-2013
* Added support for 4.3 roms ** tested on PAC rom 4.3

This will help you to see your sdcard inside a 4.2 ROM . so all your sdcard data including obb downloads will be accessible from the 4.2 ROM. You need to flash this in your second ROM . not /data sharing at all

If you're using a 4.1 Rom you should use aroma file manager in philz recovery to move what is in /0 folder to sdcard root path. Then in the same recovery change default path to sdcard (there is an option for that).

I only use philz recovery, where you can set default path to /sdcard or sdcard/0 depending on your needs. Check with your recovery options. And change for Phil's one if needed.
If the folder is empty just erase it.

Sent from my Nexus 6 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
Does the error say something like "can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or because the app doesn't allow it."? If so, then it is likely the app whatever app you are using that is blocking it. Netflix, bank apps, and some other apps do this.
Echoing above, you get a generic message like this if for example, you're screenshoting an app that wishes to block the feature. However if you used MTP or adb to copy your /sdcard data back to your phone via recovery, you'll have screwed up your permissions. DO NOT fix permissions via recovery. Test the screenshot folder to see if you can create new files using a file manager. If not, I'll link you to a flash able zip that will fix your sdcard for you.
