Today I cut a folder with a bunch of files while in MTP and pasted it to the computer.
The folder moved quickly (a bit too quickly) and the process was done.
When I checked the folder on the computer, it only had some files from the original folder and the folder itself was entirely gone from the phone!
Have I lost my files for good? Can I recover somehow?

Copied my efs folder using Super Manager to my internal sdcard (dont have an ext yet)-used this method because couldnt get the adb method to work for me despite some brilliant tutorials .
Inside efs folder I got 7 files-2 folders-the emei folder contains 2 files, the android folder is empty and a further 5 files.
When I try to copy/ paste to my PC it only copies the emei folder (with 2 files) and only 2 of the other 5 files. Is this due to a lack of permission? Pc is set to display hidden files and Im administrator (Vista) If I use 'My files' on phone it can only see those same 4 files.
If it makes any difference Im on 2.1 still-which is why Im doing this cos Im getting so bored waiting for Orange to release 2.2.
Really appreciate someone giving me some help on this..
I believe I have a similar problem as this guy ( http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-s-iii/195932-cant-transfer-pictures-my-s3.html ).
The pictures should be in the DCIM/Camera folder but aren't. I looked up the file path of the pics. Only one old picture is shown.
All pictures shot by me are missing. Could have something to do with permissions?
Edit: Come to think of it. The most likely explanation is that "DCIM/Camera" exists somewhere and is accessed via MTP or PTP in the PC's explorer. The cache file folder has a bunch of .tec and .arc files e.g. 20125440784004.tec
thumbnails is missing.
When accessing the DCIM/Camera folder via the Android file explorer, all pictures are there in storage/sdcard0 along with cache and thumbnail folders. There are no other DCIM/Camera folders or anything other than sdcard0.
What is going on?
Any help is much appreciated.
Well, right after I posted the "Edit", the most reasonable next step would have been to rename the folder and see what happens. Indeed DCIM -> DCIMx did the trick.
Ultimately the renaming brakes down to a bunch of Linux file system commands, probably even resetting permissions. So I figure another renaming step of DCIMx -> DCIM should solve the problem.
Update: It worked, but not after a reboot. I simply renamed the folder again, and let Android create a new DCIM folder. Everything is accessible within this one.

Hi,
So a few days ago i wanted to put files in the obb folder to install some apks. However, when i connected it to my computer, I didn't see any obb folder, so I tried creating one. But every time I tried to create the folder the device kept disconnecting. I have tried creating the folder with USB debugging off and on, with a rooted phone as well as a non-rooted phone, from my computer and from file managers on the phone, but nothing works. What is strange is that when i create the obb folder from a file manager on my, it does create it and i can go into it and i can see the obb of many apps there, but as soon as i come out the folder, the folder vanishes. Someone help please?
obb Folder
Hi there, I had the same problem, but I think the new moto X used the folder Data instead of obb, thats the solution I found for me.
I had ktoonsez installed on my previous rom, I switched over to a different rom and now I can't delete the folder in my internal memory called, "device." When I look in the folder it has ktweaker and other stuff, I've tried to mount the system as r/w but it still doesn't work. Does anyone else have this folder? Photos attached.
Try looking in /data/media/0 or /data/media/legacy
See if the folder is there and try deleting it. Sometimes the files on /sdcard are just images of the data folder. GL!

If you fell any problem to do copy,paste,error Deleting File or Folder.Then you should use Long Path Tool to solve your problem.
If Long Path Tool fails on start up, please ensure you have .net framework installed on your PC.
As the title implies, trying to move files into a folder that already has some of the files you are moving provides the options to skip or overwrite existing files. Upon choosing skip existing files, nothing is copied. However, overwriting all the files seems to allow for everything to be copied. I've noticied that using Windows Explorer on the Droid Turbo in debug mode is a little wonky, but I can still move files. I am tired of having to overwrite my entire music library to copy some new songs from my computer. Anyone have any ideas?
