Phone: Xperia Z C6602
System: Stock 4.3
Root: Yes
today i was trying to copy some photo from my external SD card to my PC (successful)
after doin so, i went into the Internal storage via computer
and tried to copy some MP3 files from my PC into the "ringtones" folder on the internal storage
but for some reason, it just hangs and dose nothing
so i unplug the cable, reconnected and tried a few more time
same thing, hangs...
so i tried to do it in ES File Explorer
and found that certain folders dose not show up in this app
so i went and downloaded File Commander and Root Browser
but nothing change, certain folder such as "Ringtones" (can't remember the names of other folders)
was no on the list...
after a few more attempt
for some reason when i connect the USB cable again
those file disappeared from the PC window as well
as you can see in the photos attached
the phone is functioning fine
but it seems like i no longer have access to the files with in those folders
ie. i now no longer have the factory ringtone that was stored in the "Ringtones" folder
i think it's call "hangout" or something similar??
cannot see it in the ringtone selection list anymore
anyone know how to fix this problem?

Problem solved (i think.......)
did a bit of research and found this post on the Sony forum
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z-ZL-ZR/Lost-ringtones/td-p/591719
no exactly my problem, but the media storage wipe seems logical, so
Setting -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data/Cache/Defaults
in my case, there was not default setting to be cleared
so i just clear the data and cache
and once again i have got those missing folders back
however, after doin so
and copying the ringtones from SD to Internal
i notice now i have lost the factory ringtones from the selection list...
also Album not longer display my photos on the SD card
but no too worry
all i did was reset the phone
and everything is back to normal again~
so yah, seems fixed for now

Here it is, Of course you can change the background to your liking for all pages in the settings tab. I just took the manilla files that briannowicki posted and modified the homescreen a little to fix the clock and logo deal. Here are some screenshots as well and download. Many of the items were taken from here and xda developers site, just mixing alot of it together. I hope this helps the Imagio owners know what works and what doesn't. I don't have the software to make a cab. If you don't know how to copy to the root directory just copy all of the files in my windows folder to your windows folder. I am not taking credit for making these items, I simply spent alot of time trying to find things that will work on the Imagio TF3D version. I would gladly give credit to those who made the cabs, I just can't locate where most of them came from.

Just Copy all of the manilla files to windows directory, I placed all of them in a windows folder so you can copy the whole folder to device. makes it alot easier. Then of course soft reset the device.
Go here to get it:

How do you install these while they are running....gives me an error that the files are in use, even in native 6.5 mode with no TF3D loaded.

Blue Theme for all
Hi. I am new to this so please excuse my ignorance. I downloaded the zip file, in them I saw the windows folder, but there were also .cab files. Not sure where to extract the zip file, and which cab files to install. I also tried to copy the manilla files to windows folder and got warning it could damage my device.
I downloaded the zip for the icons and the slider, not sure where to extract and what to do with those.
Thanks for all the help and work you do.
I was able to get this to work, but the problem I ran into is how to get it to stop working. Some of the files were able to be uninstalled, however my phone send me a message saying "The selected program will be permanently removed. You may reload it from your desktop computer. Are you sure you want to remove it?" I touch the yes button, then about 5 seconds later it says "Co0kie 4ColumnStart&AllPrograms was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?" I click yes, and the program still remains on the remove programs option screen. The same thing happens for the KD Blue Theme Bckgrnd 4 all. ANy ideas as to how I can remove this from my phone?

Usually if you re-install then uninstall it will work.
I have two questions...
1. How did you add the program tab on Imagio, I have searched but had no luck locating how to do this...
SOLUTION FOUND 2. How did you change start menu back to default 6.5 start menu instead of the quick launch menu while in M3D.
cos my IMEI code is "000....00" now,I have to work on it.
today,I went to the seller which I bought my phone.he helped me and gave me a working phone of I9001 for backup it's efs.I found the below:
1.in efs of I9001,not find nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5.I got the files like the pics show.
2.I backup efs by HC-ktool,then I got a file of 104Mb which it's name is efs.img.
So now I want to know the answers:
a/There are not files of nv_ in I9001,why? how to modify my IMEI?
b/for the getting file of 104Mb,can I restore it into my phone?what's the dangerous(cos hc ktool show me)?
please help !!!! thank you all so much.

huh....104MB, its about half the ROM, My backup efs folder is only about 90 KB..best you use a free apk like S2 repair, or nitrilty or GPS aids to backup that efs to your external SD card and transfer it to your phone
Did you tried removing all EFS content + format everything in recovery and then flashing Samsung stock ROM?

it does not matter what model , as efs file is rather a small folder , you can even use root explorer to see all its contents and copy/zip it to your external SD card
have you tried these

Hi,buddy.....I tried,fixed usb debugging but not work for IMEI......who can tell me which file the IMEI store in?
So what happened is that update 5.11.401.10 rolled out today, so I went ahead and started installing the update but I didn't have enough time since I was going out to work so I cancelled the update and decided to start again once I reach the office... But when I tried to restart the update in the office I kept getting a massage saying that update is corrupted, so i restarted the phone, cleared the update cach but I still same problem.
I read somewhere that the only way to solve this is by a phone rest, and since my phone isn't rooted I cant manually go and delete the system update folder..
So is there a way to fix this..
Flash your nandroid backup & then you can start fresh.

I can't see the ota file in the downloads folder, I am using Es file explorer.
btw I am viewing the local download folder on the phone storage..

It wont be in the download folder yet as you didn't finish downloading it, it will be somewhere like data/local/tmp, must be a temp folder somewhere until its completed, im surprised it doesn't give you the option to redownload if its informing you the download is corrupt.
If you don't have a nandroid from a previous Rom, you can't do one now. A nandroid is a "copy" of a Rom. Doing one now will save the screwed up Rom.
When you get your phone back working correctly, then make a nandroid. I update my nandroid at least once a week. I keep 2 nandroids on my SD card and delete the oldest after making a new one.
As far as the download folder not displaying the OTA file, do you see anything in that file?

I'll poke around the temp folder see if I find anything, as for asking to download once press download it just shoes the same massage again doesn't matter how many tries I do... I attached a screenshot wonder if it will work..

Hi All,
After update to Lollipop 5.0.2 I lost some audio files.
The update to 5.0.2 was a normal "update" so I had no idea I was going to lose data, and I did not make an additional backup.
As it turns out, I'm not the only one who is missing some files. A friend of mine lost almost all downloaded MP3 songs.
For me it's not something I downloaded, but recorded. It's a few .wav files, and I really like them back!
And Yes, I'm willing to pay for it.
I have a HTC M8, but during root process, I saw it was telling me it's a M7 (???)
So, the phone is rooted.
I tried several recovery solutions (all just reading, not writing) and some can find some files, like a facebook .png that I recognise.
This means, there is still (useful) data on there.
How can I recover my files?
Is this just a HTC problem, or are there also other phone vendors who delete user data?
I hope.... and pray... and ask here

Yes, I have.
I am confused with the files it finds.
A lot of files, Some corrupt, not yet of it useful data for me.
I do know quite a bit about data recovery on a normal hard drive, but almost no info how it works on NAND flash.
dr.fone also found some files:
I was not aware I had 105 times a .mov files on my phone, 3,5 GB... I did not make them, or download them.
Diskdigger "Helps".
This does find files, but also loads of files I was not aware of. (and not the files I need)
A lot of .zip files, and the strange thing is that they all seem to have the same data structure. (see zip.jpg)
Can any one tell me why I have all them .zip files and apk's?
Thanks!

Hi, yesterday when I was trying to back up some of my photos, which I usually cut it from internal device to PC, during the process there was a time all the folders became "empty folders" when I looked on PC screen, I thought maybe just a preview problem that needs time to load, so I directly cut some of those "empty folders" into PC, while it takes less than 1 second, but actually it contains thousands of photos. I checked the folders on PC that are empty contains nothing, but the folders were cutted out of its original place, I couldn't see them in DCIM. When I'm checking my album on my phone screen, I can still see those folders, but the cover photo becomes unavailable, and soon it disappears from my sight.
I believe those photos are still there, they were not cut out, I think maybe just the directory or index is lost, which make them unseeable. I have tried so many different recovery software to look for those photos like DiskDigger, but still couldn't find them, any suggestions on it, what should I do, is root the final solution for it?
Thanks!
The last view of a disappearing folder looks like this:

Meh, copy not cut/paste to backup critical files.
If you need to delete the original do so after it's been successfully copied. Otherwise this will occasionally happen.
The files are there, but retrieving them may not be a doable option.

Yeah you're right, I didn't expect that, usually I just make duplicates after they are moved to PC, I think I won't use cut function so careleslly anymore, copy paste would be much better.
Do you think some software offer "Deep Scan" option that only functions with rooted devices would work?

Been there, done that.
Are you rooted? You have more options if so otherwise it's irrelevant.

No, not yet, that's why I'm here looking for answers, if it's possible I will try to root it and see.
I have also heard something like mirror the disk to PC, and then use EasyRecovery or other tools to recover on PC side, would that be possible too?

Don't know. It's not like a stand alone flash card.
I avoid getting into this situation by keeping redundant backup hdds.
Hello crosscar, try with recuva for pc you remove the sd card you put it in a flash drive.
You open recuva will ask you what you want to do then choose the sdcard put in the flash drive launch the search.
