There is probably a easy solution to this problem, but I haven't been able to find anything about it.. I have tried to download zip files on several occasions, and always get the message content not supported, and it wont let me download the file.. Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

What do you mean download? You are trying to load an update.zip to your phone or you are trying to unzip it inside of your phone? I have not heard of anyone trying to unzip inside of the phone because that is not what the intended purpose of the zip is for. More details because you are very vague in your process.
In this case I am trying to download the super circle battery file, the update.zip file......i click to download from the link, the download doesn't initiate, and I get the message "unable to download, content not supported". If I have read correctly, the file will save to the correct location, then I can boot up in recovery mode and reinstall packages.

Download and install Astro FileManager from the marketplace... then you can download zips
Thanks.. I will give that a shot.

I wasn't aware a file manager has that functionality but using opera mini browser will allow the download of all types of files.

I formatted my internal and external sdcards today by mistake, now my download folders are gone, I was tolded this is normal since formatted deletes all data on card which is why my download folder is gone. I've tired downloading rom and modded recovery all day but I cant find them in root exploror anywheres, than I Google a random picuture and tried to save the picture but the download was uncuccessful. Can I fix this?

It sounds like this should be fixable, but could you please provide more information on your current setup (Android version, if it's a custom ROM, etc).
As far as getting ROMs and CWM to your phone, you may want to try downloading the roms/modded recovery on a PC (if one is available), then move them over to your phone. If everything was formatted and you're having trouble using root explorer, it might just be easier to do it that way.
Before today my phone was fine, it displayed downloads that I've done etc. I was trying to install a downloaded rom thru cwm but it didn't display "install from sdcard" with in cwm. I than clicked format sdcard for some dumb reason and It put me in my current state.

I see that you're on your phone now, which answers the question of whether or not you can boot, so that's good. If you've formatted your Internal SD card (which it sounds like you did - did it get rid of all your files on the phone?), you could probably just do a Titanium backup of what you still have and reinstall your ROM (assuming you're on a custom rom). That would likely correct the issue.

Yea, the phone has never stopped working in that reguard, just wont download. But now that you mention it, I did make a titanium back up of all apps and data before I did all of this.

Assuming that it wasn't deleted in the format, I'd recommend reflashing whatever rom you're on and restoring your apps from Tibu.
the tibu backup is no more it would have been deleted when he formatted. look in your browsers settings for the default download directory. or make a folder on your sdcard called downloads and set it to there as default....

Yep, my back up is gone. I went to the download directory and all downloads in there say download unsuccessful, I than went to sdcard in root exploror and created a folder named download. I tried saving a few Google pics and they still come up download unsuccessful, I even tried downloading a file from xda and its not in my new download folder. I didn't set it as default since I don't know how to set it, I didn't see any options. Getting very frustrated.

That appeared to work, I saved a random picture and it was saved in my new download folder. But when I try and download the modded e3 signature file (which is what I've been trying to do) I see a quick download meter start and finish, after its done I can select close or open, if I click open I'm brought to rom manager with an install prompt were I can select or de-select a few things, than I'm put into recovery but it dkesnt show any place to install from sdcard. When I had to do this on my infuse once I downloaded the modded recovery it was listed in my downloads, id extract, copy and paste over original recovery but I don't see it anywhere in my captivates files.

Hmm It should be in the download directory...
You could always dl the recovery file to your pc and copy it over to the phone.

If the phone isn't showing up in any way when you hook it up to the computer (i.e. you can't select to mount the phone from the notification drop-down), that would be your option.

Ok, I was able to install the recovery to phone from pc, I unzipped it than extracted it, but after I copied the recovery I tried to paste over the old recovery in system/bin but I got a message saying I can't do that read only.

Before I say more - do you currently have the android default recovery or some version of CWM installed on your phone?
You're pasting in the modded 3e recovery I assume, that's in a place usually mounted read only. Using root explorer, there is a little button on the top right that says mount r/w press that THEN paste in.

i need help getting my root back. i've updated to 4.3 but in the process all my pictures/music/personal stuff is gone. in the storage section it's saying that 27gb is still being used so i'm assuming the data is still there but i can't do anything until i get my root back. i've tried to flash a custom recovery through fastboot but i'm getting a reported max download size error. can anyone help out?
I'm new to HTC one, but maybe structure of 4.3 differ from 4.1.
So connect phone to computer, copy all files and search folder/files there.

Sounds like you have been flashing a lot of 4.2.2 roms so you may have a bunch of /0/0/0 folders that could be why you have so little space left

I haven't flashed any roms on this phone. I've been stock since day one. I want to try some data recovery software but I need root to utilize it. I can't get root until I install recovery but I can't do that because I keep getting an error.

well thanks to this fine user i found all of my missing data. i have another quick question however...
i noticed in data/media (which is where all my lost data was located) there is a 0 folder that houses the current contents of the "sdcard". i noticed that /sdcard and data/media/0 are linked together but i'm not sure which is the emulated folder and which is the proper folder. basically what i'm trying to do is restore the contents of the data/media folder to it's proper location. i read that the "0" folder is created for a second user? if that's the case if i move the contents of the "0" folder to the the data/media folder would the "sdcard" folder reflect those changes or would i have to move data/media to "0" instead?
I have run into a problem as of late and it occurs in every ROM which I load.
I cannot capture a screenshot. I get an error message indicating I don't have enough storage space which is untrue or it isn't allowed by my tap or organization.
Anyone else encounter this?

Can you save files to your sdcard? what about /sdcard/pictures/screenshots?
Did you ever use ADB or MTP in recovery to copy /sdcard data back to your device?

Yes, I am always saving files to my sd card including OTG. I don't believe I have used ADB or MTP to copy data back to the device, as I always use TWRP or tibu for app data. I have reflashed my phone a few times to the factory image only.
Would be decrypted create this?

Sounds like the permissions on that folder is screwed. Typically this happens when data is copied back to sdcard when booted into recovery...
It can usually be fixed by flashing this zip in recovery. I would recommend backing up your data first though.

He has a permissions issue on the stock-used screenshot folder. But yes, some apps do block it and give the same error. I forgot that

Go to the twrp file manager, move the backup file to the root of your sdcard, reboot and it you will be able to see it in es and from your computer.

Ever since JellyBean 4.2 with the advent of multi-user the backups go into the /data/media/0/TWRP/Backups by default.

If you are having trouble finding your nandroids remember to enable root explorer permissions in estrongs.

Hi, can you upload to any cloudstorage the STOCK original TWRP backup of xt1254 ?
I have many problems with my phone such as random rebooting ,problems with unlocking lockscreen, dialer truoblshots and others. I have flashed Official rom via fastboot, unlocked bootloader and installed many other roms ,also tried 4.4.4 and 5.1 but problems not solved.

Thank you for posting this, I was wondering where the TWRP backups were going.
I noticed this when I first unlocked my Turbo as well, however I no longer have this problem and I have no idea what I did to solve it.
However, I always make backups onto my USB OTG flashdrive, so it wouldn't be much of a problem (at least for me).
