Hi,
I made a mistake and I tried the beta version of the ICS which made the counter counts "1". To get things even worse, the mobile stopped reading the memory card and I had to format it and I lost all my file in that memory card. How can I get them back and rest the counter?
I tried the "How to remove yellow triangle on any firmware with JIG" but it didn't work.
Help
First of all, Dont put any files on memory card if you want to recover data. As if it overwrites older data, you won't be able to recover old files.
Connect your device with USB debugging mode, then select connect device from notification
Now you will get separate drive letter for memory card.
There are lot SW available to restore data, i know one is 'Get data back', google it n try recovering from memory card drive.

Do i understand right you want to recover deleted/formatted data?
try:
cgsecurity testdisk

or take a look at:
- ontrack easy recovery

Got good results in past.

If you formatted it already then it's possible that you'll never be able to recover the files. If you have access to Linux -- e.g. via a liveCD or something -- you can try a command-line utility called 'magicrescue', but even then it's not guaranteed it'll be able to rescue the whole file.

Even formatted, data can be recovered and as long no new data overwrite the old data too many times.

simple format just making unable to read, so still it remains recoverable. If data where it is located on sector, overwrite with other data, thn only it becomes non recoberable.
Low level format only erases data completely, but i think nobody routinely using it.

I did link to magicrescue, didn't I? And no, even a simple format that resets the allocation table can still result in files not being possible to recover, it all depends on whether the file was fragmented or not; if the file was written to non-consecutive blocks on the card then there is simply no way for a program to know where all the blocks are located without the allocation table.
The tools that try to rescue files from broken/formatted filesystems rely on the fact that they can find the file header and that the header format is known to the rescue utility. As such those tools cannot rescue filetypes that they aren't familiar with or for which the user has not supplied the proper settings.

Low-level format is when you have access to the actual barebones hardware and can read/write e.g. the internal CRC-structures there. What you are referring to is not low-level format, it's just plain old regular format.
Now get off my lawn.
So I know when flashing roms sometimes it will erase the SD Card, Okay well I forgot about 5 pictures I had taken and was like oh well, so when I went to go load all my stuff back on it, My SD card is empty but it says 6GB is being used, which is about right what it was but there are NO files on it... Where are the files??? Using Root explorer and show hidden stuff on the computer still dont know where the files are at....
did you flash a 4.2 rom?
I wanted to try out cm mod. Then went back to stock 4.2.2 I don't care if I lost some stuff. But its Stikl there but I can't see it.

i know that your suppose to wipe before flashing a 4.2 rom.
the file system is in a different spot so it leaves the old system there.
I do not know how to get back the free space beside formating and reflashing the system.

Ive already formatted system and it still shows stuff stored there.
Not to sure then.
Only had the phone for a week so haven't gotten use to the file system yet.
I just know it's set up different from other phones.
I had the same experience also... what I did was I went to CWM recovery and format /sdcard and I did wipe user data/factory reset...
This was happened when I flashed 4.2.2 onto 4.1.2 without wiping anything....
transfer everything from your sdcard to your computer then format sdcard in cwm and transfer your files back and they should be in the right place
Ive got the same problem. Stock rom never rooted, "OTHER" in storage taking up 6.7GB.
I have looked at clearing junk files with CLEAN MASTER app but my cache files only takes up 33mb.
Did anyone look what "OTHER" in storage was when they got their brand new phone? Does Sense 5 really takes up over 6GB?
EDIT:
A few people confirmed that the phone have about 26GB of space out of 32GB brand new, so yeah Sense 5 DOES take about 6GB of space!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265598
I was tinkering round this morning and looked into my devices storage and saw that 27gb of 32gb were being used.
Did some math on my own:
Apps: 2.82gb
Music: 3.23gb
Photos: 1.12gb
Other: 19.85gb:
-Nandroids: 9gb
-Titanium Back up 1gb
2 roms: 1.5gb
Somewhere in the "Other" category something is eating up 9gb of space. I used my file explorer and couldn't pin anything that big down. I am going to offload my nandroids but I shouldn't have to.
Anyone else run into this or know what this 9gb "other" hog could be
Is there an app or system setting I am missing to ID this?

Your 'other' is really suspicious. Mine is ~7GB. I'd do a factory reset, easiest way IMO.
If you're flashing roms or doing backups with any other apps (CWM or something). I'm guessing they would go there. Check your download folder as well if you do a lot of downloading.
You may also try installing airdroid and using the desktop filemanager to whittle down your list as well.
Download Disk Usage. It shows you visually whats taking up space. It's amazing.
Thanks for advice using disk usage. I don't know why I didn't reinstall that sooner.
I did some digging and searching around the interwebs and found out this is a known issue. Other people have noticed it in droves. From my early intel: when you delete files you lose data blocks and they are marked as bad. If you ran dsk chk they would come up as corrupt. People are losing more storage space than I did.
2 solutions came up:
1. Reformat your SD: Copy everything to PC>reformat>copy everything back....time consuming but worked from what I could tell
2. There is an update that has been released overseas(asia, india, etc) that seems to fix this issue. It's a known HTC ONE issue so maybe someday I will see an update that will fix it.

I couldn't just let this rest. I like to flash roms and knew I would need strorage space for some nandroids in the future. Here are somethings I tried and had issues with.
Formatting the SD card: I could not for the life of me get this done.
-Nothing in TWRP
-Couldn't do it in windows
-Couldn't mount the sd in TWRP or regularly and get it to show up in windows file explorer as a drive to format
Eventual solution:
I formated the data in TWRP using the format data option. I copied everything over before I did it. When I came back I flashed a new rom and was still missing 7 gb. No apps, no music, nothing. SD card was empty still only showed 25 gb available.
Conclusion: I think I have some bad sectors in their somewhere. I read that I could go back completely to stock and try to star this whole process over.
One question: Can I unlock using HTCdev as many times as I want or is it a one time thing?
Anyone else in the same boat?

If you go back completely to stock, your bootloader will probably still be unlocked (unless you relock and use an RUU). The code you got to disable your bootloader the first time around will work however many times you want. To be honest though, I wouldn't be surprised if that 7GB were used by the system ROM/frameworks and I'd be even less surprised if you still found files on your SD card in a .Trashes folder or something from earlier. Formatting data tends to leave weird remnants all over the place.
Also, +1 to the Google Music thing. Definitely shows up in other for me.

Do you have a custom recovery? If so, try running Fix permissions. It'll tell you for one if it hits any errors (because it finds files it can't change perms for), and may help with the issue (or use the Fix permissions tool in ROM Manager if you'd rather not use recovery).

-Ran fix permissions in recovery: no errors everything went as it should
-Ran fix persmissions in viper rom: terminal settings: no errors everything ran as it should
Is there a way to reformat the SD card/partition? I don't think the TWRP method really reformatted it. Just erased everything.
Clockwork gives you the ability to set a swap partition but not a true reformat

Have you tried TWRP's advanced wipe? If you haven't, it's worth a shot, but I cannot stress enough that you should be careful. This is exactly the kind of problem that you can bork your phone trying to fix for no good reason.

Your exactly correct on the last point. I am going to keep listening and looking. I think/hope/pray the update the internationals got can be applied some way in the future and may help out a bit. Just going to have to utilize some cloud storage a little better.

I've been having the same problem, but notice something interesting. My phone said I had almost 20GB in the other category, and I didn't know why.
I downloaded disk usage to get a detail view of what's going on in my storage and I was able to clear 12GB with just deleting old downloads, TWRP backups, Titanium Backups. Still cleaning house.
Also after doing some research, the data that's stored by your apps (ext. PS3 Trophies is a 8mb download, buts it's total size is 31mb on the phone) is counted in the Other section and not part of the app data. So the more apps u have like this installed, the more likely the Other section will balloon in size.
Remember, when u remove and app, it's stored data is still in the phone storage.

I use disk useage but it doesn't even show my max storage space as 32gb. It shows 26gb. See Screenshot: So I have 6gb that aren't even registering as available storage. I was trying to clean out some old app storage but the space they use is so small. Would they be worth it? I think the fact I am missing 6 gb is more troubling.
I could be wrong, but doesn't the phone only have 27GB of formatted space?

any device with internal memory will lose some. this is the exact reason i havent gotten one yet bc im praying that sprint will get the 64gb version. i will say that if they are going to advertise a device at xyz gb then they should build in the extra needed for system so we actually get what we pay for. cloud storage and otg are there but still a slight pain in the butt.
guess ill be holding on to my evo lte for another yr or so.

Is OTG standard in Android? Does the One need to be rooted?
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.

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!

Okay revisiting my old broken N7000 from several months ago and not quite sure what I managed to do back then but my main aim was to clear personal data before selling it on as a repairable. Something I haven't done yet.
The display screen is completely inoperational so have no idea what I'm looking at when phone is booted up. I know phone still works as soft keys still light up and vibrate when touched. In an attempt to verify I have succeeded clearing my personal data I installed Kies only for the required sammy usb drivers which would allow me to browse the internal storage of the phone.
My question now is what directories should I be looking at to see if personal data has been cleared and is there anything else I need to worry about? Please see my signature to see what my setup was.
Thanks

Well, I'm sure if you formatted with a PIT file it would clear everything out... but that is a bit dangerous.

Our phone (like many others) has several partitions. Your personal files such as photos, films, music, s-note notes etc. are stored on the 11GB partition you can see when you plug your phone into the computer. There is also one more important for us partition (/data) which stores nearly all of the most important data such as sms'es, phone numbers, logins to google and generally all the data generated by your apps.
If you format it with a PIT file then everything will be nicely cleared out (but it is dangerous and you would then have to reflash Jelly bean). That will guarantee that ALL (not exactly true but close enough) data is gone from the phone, it would be like new.
If you know what the recovery/kernel/android version is then we can help you guide yourself to the format options in the recovery from which you can perform a data wipe.
There might also be the possibility that you can use ADB to reformat, however I have never done it that way. This could be the simpleset as all you have to do is boot into recovery and do the rest on the computer.
