Media files missing - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

iv posted this question before too and got no replies, only now that its much worse. i just got my new htc one n this is ruining the experience for me. the stock music player and gallery dont show any music or photos even though poweramp and quickpic do. iv tried restarting, clearing media storage(which made it worse since ALL songs n pics r missing now) and iv even tried the sd rescan apps on the market. even tried putting the files in new folders and changing their location. rebooted the phone like 10 times. Can someone please help me out? have never had a software issue for so long on android after posting/searching for so long on xda

I stream 99% of my media content, but I will try and help.
Please let us know what version of Android you're using (4.1 or 4.2.2 or 4.3), if you have gained root access (rooted your phone), and if you are using any custom ROM.
The more information about your phone the more we can attempt to help

So I just found a way to get everything back .
First download a root file explorer (one able to gain root)
then navigate to your root it should be just a "/" then go to /data and then /data/media.
Bam that's where everything is! now just move all the folders to the main sdcard directory, /sdcard or delete the files that are in /data/media if you don't need them anymore.
Good Luck and hit "Thanks" if it helped :laugh::laugh:

my phone isnt rooted so no root access :crying:

Plug your phone into a PC and it should mount the phone as an external drive.
Open it up and look in the folders with the appropriate titles (Music, Movies, Ringtones...) and see if your files are there. If they are not, then move them to those folders.
What file types are the media files? (MP3, MP4, M4A, etc...) Apps like PowerAmp (at least the last time I used it) are able to play A LOT more file types than HTC's Music app.

Listen, download android commander on your PC, the website hangs on Chrome so search for the .exe and a few xda forums should pop, try and find a media fire link, I will try to link it. Then just navigate to where I said. Btw you should root. It's way better and the warranty can be restored for carrier not HTC. But yeah let me know how it goes

Here's the link http://www68.zippyshare.com/v/46885598/file.html it was a zippy not a mediafire lol

I had the same problem when I just got my phone, copied the music into the correct folder and the stock media player would not see it. other music players did see it fine but I wanted to use the stock music player.
Did a factory reset and all is OK now.

this happened to me exactly! Okay so 1st make sure you have the adb and sdk tools, I believe you can find small ones that could work like a small fastboot folder i forgot where i found but i'll edit the post if i find it. Now for the error -1 what i did was completely go back to stock, like bootloader relocked no root access running the latest t-mobile ruu in my case, remind me again what carrier version you have?
Edit- This was a guide that helped me a lot when i was getting issues I'm going to keep checking. Guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365506&highlight=ruu
Edit(2): Here's another guide that is like a pure index for the HTC One http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438026&highlight=ruu
Make sure to check the tools and the Ruu link because there's a minimal adb and fastboot that i used that worked. Ruu's usually come with an application for an Ruu, read carefully and feel free to look at my profile and email me directly, I'll be able to respond much much quicker.
Look at Complete Flashing Guide | Rooting | Going Back To Stock it's the second link in the guides section on index #2 and the tool is the last one under Drivers.
Continue down and there will be a section for Ruus and stock etc.

Long story short problem solved. Used android sdk to download drivers n it solved the problem.
Now the thing is the main problem with media files is still there AND I'm still on 4.1.2 only. Now that I have cupercid is there a way I can manually upgrade my phone to the official htc 4.2 update or the official 4.3 update rolling out to international versions?

I can't seem to find one and if i do I'm scared it will come with the 1.54 hboot and that is literally the last thing you want, I suggest rooting if you're not and running Maximus HD or Android Revolution HD, I've tested both and they are simply lovely.

i wana keep my phone unrooted and official as long as possible. cuz then ill have something to look fwd to. right now iv just recently bought this phone n im loving n enjoying the stock roms too. whats the harm in 1.54 now that i have s-off? in that case do u recommend flashing the link u have posted. its developer edition does that mean it has bugs? or should i just wait for it to officially arrive? god knows how long bell mobile is going to take
also i just checked the thread, it updates to 1.55 hboot. man back in the dhd days rooting and flashing was so simple.also im thinking if i do flash ill do a complete wipe first. once i switch to this rom will i receive updates for the international dev edition directly? sorry for so many questions

1.54 takes off S-OFF but I think the RUU doesn't change the hboot but I'm scared to say yes so I suggest reading up on RUU things

[Q] How to return to stock?

Rooted and running CM 6.1.0, have backed up 1.21 firmware, what is the easiest way to unroot and return to stock? (remove CWM also). Need to send the phone in for button repair. If I apply OTA update on the 1.21 firmware (updating to 2.2) will it wipe everything clean?
Thanks in advance

uhh im not too sure anymore but i think the best way to do it would be to apply an older stock rooted rom and then plug your phone into a comp with htc sync, and then do the update thing thats it got on there.. thats the way i was told a while back but im not sure if theres an easier/better way to do it. probably should wait till someone else comments before you go do anything but yeah youre meant to do something like that ^ i believe..
From my own experience, the technicians doesn't know if its stock, cm or what. They fix the problem and that's it.
I've sent my device twice with cm on it and there was no problem
Sent from my Legend
Thanks for the replies although I would be happy to send it in with CM and whatnot, as it is not mine I do not even want to take the risk. Can anyone confirm that installing the latest vodafone firmware will restore phone to stock?
basically run a htc update on it (if you haven't S-OFFed then 2.1 is fine)
Search isn't working now so I can't link you, but either way find an offical RUU and it will do everything for you. Remember if you do update it to froyo (official) it is a difference process to root again (but still possible)
Or else.. search the forum.. I made a thread called "easiest way to unroot".. or something like that.. Always use the SEARCH feature before asking questions..

It's time for the younglings my friend
method 1 (preferred)
you can leave the LEGEIMG.zip to the root of your goldcard and go to boot loader and let it load and you confirm the update. i suggest using the same one that you use for the downgrade.
if, you don't have it download Legend rooting tools, extract the zip. locate testimage.zip... copy it to your goldcard and rename it to LEGEIMG.zip. (make sure you dont ended up renaming it to LEGEIMG.zip.zip if you know what i mean lol)
method 2 (goldcard not needed)
For the past few days i've been playing around with official RUU. and heres what i've done so far on testing the official RUUs from HTC (link from stickies)... it'll turn your Legend to stock.... even if your on CM7 or any other roms....
But... if you have an HBOOT of less than 1.00... be warn. RUU with Froyo will update it and there's no known method to downgrade. unless you dont care about it and thinks its about time you update it and you have intention on doing the S-OFF...

[Q] Update.zip signed Needed

Can anybody point the way for a signed.zip for my HTC Incredible, is bricked (half bricked, I can boot into recovery and HBOOT am unrooted)
My problem is extremely complicated so if somebody could somehow help me by giving me a link of a signed update.zip I can apply in recovery and I could somehow downgrade my radio from 2.15 to any, I would deeply appreciated.
Thanks

you can only change your radio through HBOOT.. must be rooted.. needs to be renamed to PB31IMG.zip and SD card needs to be formatted to FAT32 to flash anything through HBOOT
you might want to fully unroot your phone and re-root it using doug pistons RUU http://dougpiston.com/

Why don't you download a pb31img.zip with the radio you want? I think most are already packaged that way, flashable in hboot.

I cant plug it in the pc because it is unrecognizable, and i found a fix for the usb but the guide asks that i need to be rooted and that should fix the 5 vibrations etc etc...
But then again am i still rooted? I mean i never unrooted my phone... Could it ve possible in still rooted with s-on? And how can i be sure?

When I sent my old Inc back I had to do this...
- Flash the stock radio...
- Use the unrevoked.zip to flash S-On
- Then install RUU.
It worked fine...you will be able to RUU.
Edit: Also you can download these files and transfer them between a SD card reader from your computer if you cannot use the usb cord to go direct.
Unless I am missing something here...the OP isnt really clear with his 'situation'
Im not sure if I understand the issue here but why dont you download the froyo update zip file and place it on the sdcard and boot in Hboot and downgrade to stock and than just root your phone with unrevoke...??
I fixed it using this guide. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14440621.
Thank goodness, I'm lucky the resolution to my bricked phone was out last month.
I did have to root, and i rooted using some application there temporary and it worked. That was a life saver .
Now I just have to fix the meid since it says is unavailable.
And sorry I put in the wrong forum, I just thought it would go under Android Dev because it involved fixing a Android Os bug in the Froyo 2.2 leaked update.
Well now I have my phone rooted with 2.2 S-off and recognizing sd card and being recognized by the computer

Just a friendly word of advice. The development section is a place for devs to post their work such as ROMS and Kernels. The Q&A section is where you post for answers to problems. And work arounds, like your other post in here, would fit more into General. Eventually if you keep posting non development things in this forum someone will start flaming you and then things can get ugly. The moderators will eventually move these to the correct forums but I'm just giving you a heads up some people can get rather po'ed at the smallest infraction. Others don't care and will try and help you out regardless as you have seen.

[Q] RESOLVED!!! Help with rooting ICS

My apologies if someone has already posted this, but i couldn'f find a post that was able to help me.
I had my HTC vivid rooted before updating to ics.
I relocked the bootloader and updated using the ruu.
After the update i unlocked the bootloader and needed some help rooting again.
I tired using the vivid all in one kit(thinking that would be the fastest) from the forum but that just made my phone freeze on the white htc screen.
i just "reinstalled" ics because that was the only way to get my phone to work again (phone works fine now)
So the question- How do i properly root my phone running ics
Someone correct if wrong. I dont think that tool will be compatible with ics. I to have updated to ics and I havent seen a post yet for an easy way to root or re root after upgrading to ics. I hope someone can find a flaw and bring back the one click root, like way back on the incredible with unrevoked.com. plug n click your phone boom all automated.

uh? i dont see the vivid on his site? unless im missing something... whatever happened to just using cwm
You have to register first for the Vivid section to show up.
just got cwm on the phone hope this is helpful to someone else
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img (got mine from the vivid all in one)
do the same you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing the "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin)
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
obviously files have to be in the correct area mine are all under c:\
hopefully that helps someone

It is basically the same idea but it is called touch recovery. It also works with gb and ics. Just like poster above said, you have to register to see the vivid section. Just read everything on the process and you will have recovery in no time!

I think it installs root when you install the recovery. You should see superuser when you boot back up after installation.
No go, no superuser and no root either. tried using titan backup as a tester it says i dont have permissions
I guess I had perm root. Did you look in the dev section and try the root file there?
It's in the superguide.

Glad I could help you! Just be careful with updating apps from tb. Try to avoid bringing data from gb to ics because it can cause problems. I would just install apps, you can try apps + data but sometimes it messes with things.
RESOLVED!!!!!
here's how i re-rooted my phone after ics ruu update
Unlock the bootloader following htcdev
dl recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img got mine from the vivid all in one tool (located inside the data folder, im sure you can find the file on this forum but i happened to have the all in one tool)
do the same steps you would if you were unlocking bootloader
instead of typing in cmd "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin"
type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-cwm-vivid-5.5.0.4b2.img"
that will get cwm onto your phone
Next follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
skip down to step 2
follow the steps but IGNORE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PH39IMG.ZIP
just boot into recovery with cwm and install from external sd the vivid_cwm_root ver.2
and voila fin!
this is probably not the most efficient way to do this but this is how i did it
hopefully this is helpful to someone

I've done something stupid

Hello people, I hope I'm not being a 'bloody annoying bastard '- I really have searched the internet forums thoroughly for a solution to my predicament.
I recently bought a Bell network branded HTC Raider with stock GB (2.3.4) rom. I have unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone. In my haste to get rid of the bloatware, I stupidly used Root Explorer to delete files instead using Titanium Backup - ergo, no chance to restore deleted stuff. Anyway, now when I press 'Personalize' on the launcher bar, and then try to choose any of the sound options,(ringtones, notifications or alarms), I get a message saying 'The linked program is no longer installed on your phone'. And if I try to change the notification sound from within, say, the messages app, the app 'has to close'. The only 'program' that I can think of that is even remotely connected with sound is Soundhound, which I deleted, but I don't believe that would be the cause. I can still set a ringtone using the ringtone widget, but I can't change the notification or alarm sounds, even though I can still see and play them in System/Media/Audio. Has anyone any idea what I have inadvertently deleted? Something from HTC Sense, I'm guessing. Is it possible to download the Sense 3.0 files and pick them apart to perhaps find what I'm missing?
Sorry if this is a dumb question - my first post and all. Cheers.
Why dont you flash the stock.rom?

I was able to find a link to the stock ICS update RUU for Bell Raiders
(this will upgrade your phone to Ice Cream Sandwich and wipe everything)
If you want to stick with the BellMobility stock Gingerbread, I think I have it archived at home. I can upload it this evening if you want it.
Thanks to the ICS BellMobility RUU post by kennethpenn
http://briefmobile.com/download-htc-vivid-ice-cream-sandwich-update
(there are 2 mirror links available for this download)
and... here is the upload of the GB BellMobility RUU!
(filename: RUU_Holiday_BM_1.65.666.3_Radio_1.11.1020.03_30.77.551061.02L_release_222207_signed.exe)
http://depositfiles.com/files/ri3ygxwsi
.
Thank you, I'll try for the Gingerbread first, just to try to find out what I deleted. Upgrade to ICS I believe I can get from HTC OTA if I return the phone to stock first. I'm still new at this flashing business, so I'm grateful for any help.
OK . . . downloaded file, but unfortunately it is an installer package, and it won't install on my rooted Raider. Does anyone out there have it in a zip package? I'd like to sort thru the apk files.
Or at the very least, a LIST of installed apk's for the Bell Raider.

You have to relock your bootloader before running the ruu...its easy just download the toolkit and use the relock bootloader option...then run the ruu
As far as it in a zip file...I don't honk there is one for the bell...there's a rooted deodexed art one you can flash in recovery...don't know how that will play with your bell version tho

When you run an HTC RUU exe, it takes a little time to extract whatever files it needs. Once you get to the very first step of the RUU (where you get to click buttons), I believe you can go to C:\Users\whoever\AppData\Local\Temp (for Win7 users) and then sort by modified date. You should see a folder that was very recently created. If you poke around in there, you may find a file called "rom.zip". That should be the stock rom from the RUU. But what you do with it is at your own risk!
mg2 is right - just relock the bootloader and the RUU will bring your phone back to glorious stock. It's so much easier than messing around. Then you can decide what your next step is.

Yes, I realise now that reflashing the stock rom was the easiest way. Now I have the OTA ICS and Sense 3.6 rom in place, have re unlocked, re rooted and this time I am being more careful with bloatware removal! Have also done a full nandroid backup. Thanks again for the advice, people. Looking forward to asking more noob questions in the future. :silly:

Just one more thing . . . I understand that I'll need to S-OFF if I want to install custom ROMs, is that right? Any other advantages of an S-OFF phone? The procedure looks a tad daunting - poking around in the back of the phone with a piece of wire! I did it to my old Desire . . . was quite straightforward using Revolutionary. Cheers, all.

You do not need to be S-OFF to install custom roms: just need to flash boot.img using fastboot and flash rom thru recovery
With S_OFF you flash kernel (boot.img) thru recovery instead of using fastboot

OK . . . got it. Thanks for that.
If you're a ROM-a-Holic like me (and maybe a few others around here) and want to try many different roms and kernels to find out what you like the most, you'll want to do the S-OFF procedure. It's not that bad, and it's definitely convenient to be able to download a stack of roms and kernels, put them on your SD card, and then sit out on the lawn enjoying some sun and flashing your phone silly directly from recovery without needing fastboot! I highly recommend it.

I agree! If you follow the instructions from the SuperGuide (stickied in the development forum I believe) exactly, you shouldn't have any problems with the S-OFF procedure.

I need help 5.03.651.3

I NEED HELP WITH THIS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856

HTC one m7 rooted S-off unloacked
Hboot 1.55
4.4.2
4.06.651.9
openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.2-m7wls
I did everything in the video
using Fast boot with the Modified Firmware everything went ok with no problems
I did not even get the "please flush image again immediately" thing
after booting back into the phone I find out that nothing has changed what so ever
& I know what to look for because my mom has the same phone all up to date but with out root & s-off etc...
I want this update real bad so I can turn off blinkfeed & you can only do that on Sense 5.5 or higher.
Well the place where you go to turn it off is not there :crying:
I'm no noob but I don't do this kind of updating everyday
so what am I doing wrong????
Are you trying to use that RUU?
If so you will need to flash the full firmware first then the RUU.
Now my phone is fubar!!!!!!
I was trying 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip when I did it
the full what??
be descriptive
and to make matters worst I have ****ed up the OS.
I got sick of w8ing for help so I tried doing the full 5.03.651.3_firmware_RUU.zip
it will no longer boot into the OS
all I got now is Hboot & twrp This is bull **** there has got to be easier ways then this
So now what do I do????????????????????????????
The good news I'm now on Hboot 1.57
I know it's frustrating but easy with the swear words.
Run the RUU and you should be good.
I need help!!!!!!
ok dude I'm not trying to be an ass H
I'm just realy realy realy Fing mad
so if you are not going to give me step by step instructions
then your not going to be much help to me
I'm no pro at this
so to recap my HTC one is fubar & all I got is Hboot 1.57 & twrp-2.8.0.2-m7wls
I went into twrp & did a wipe on sys in the hope that would fix
so I did the wipe & went back to Hboot & flash boot the 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip & now when I boot into the OS
all I get the white HTC screen & nothing more
is there anyone who is going to help me?????
Well looks like it a brick now
nothing I do is fixing this
not 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip
not 5.03.651.3_firmware_RUU.zip
and I tried rolling back to the old one modified_firmware_4.06.651.9.zip
no matter what I do all I get the white HTC screen & nothing more :crying:

-Download Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_5.03.651.3_RUU.zip
-extract zip to a folder on your pc
-boot into bootloader (various ways)
-using fastboot, type this cmd: fastboot oem lock this will relock the bootloader (S-ON ONLY)
-from pc, run ARUWizard.exe from the extracted folder. it will run the RUU utility & flash back to stock
OK I'm downloading that now
OK I'm downloading that now, its big so will take 19 min to D/L
but why do I need that one?
why can't I use the 5.03.651.3_modified_firmware_RUU.zip?
just so I know for next time...

You need to RUU because you wiped your OS in twrp.
The modified firmware does not include hboot/recovery/boot.img(kernel)
The reason you don't have an OS is you wiped it in twrp.
Build number/Software won't change unless you flash a 5.03.651.3 rom.
The best way to check if it worked is to check the baseband to see if it changed.
ok its working again
ok its working again
I did not know that was the file I needed, I thought that's a stock rom so why would I want that
so I went for the other files.
This RUU app is new to me.
Thank you for helping me I just feel the way this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856 post was typed up did not help me at all (I was lost)
Be descriptive people! make life easy for everyone

no the OS was Fed up before I did that sys wipe .
I only did the sys wipe because I thought that would help fix it what the modified firmware Fed up by removing the bad OS & retry installing the modified firmware.
before that I did the modified firmware & it soo did not work!!!!!
so I don't know what happened but I do know that post with the update was really vague for someone who does not do this kind of thing often.
I do have a?
& that is next time I do this
will it keep the app-data? or is there away to back that up
my phone is fine but I lost all app-data witch is kind of a pain in the but having to go over all the settings for all of my apps

Use titanium backup next time. It will save game progress, app settings etc.
