whenever i try and drag files into the windows directory on the HTC Diamond Touch i get an error saying i do not have permission to place the files in that directory. how do i get around it?
I had the same, when trying to do the file operation on my PC (using windows explorer with the Diamond connected via USB). When I copied the files on the Diamond directly, using the win mobile file explorer, it worked fine.
Hello. I am now running Darkys ROM 8.1. Its the first time since upgrading I've tried transferring anything via USB. I notice that in windows I can't create a new folder on the ext sd card, nor access the existing folders, in fact they appear in windows (xp) with no icon or file assocation. Is it the file system used in the darkys rom that windows cannot recognise? .flv and .mpg files will transfer but when I try any other formats windows explorer says it may not be copied, may not exist or may be in use by another program.
Is this a setting in darkys I need to change? Has anyone seen this problem before? Can anyone help please
I found the answer thanks. Posting this for those who might have the same problem. I installed the Kies V2 on my win7 64bit laptop, and the file system on the phone can be seen now and file transfers can be done ok now.
It is either issues with Kies 1.5 or problems with my other pc after a hardware install.
My motherboard is toast, I bought a broken phone on ebay and switched out the motherboards but it isnt working. Phone works fine but wont recognize sim card or connect to network. Its just a camera/wifi device atm. So anyway..... I can still get the old motherboard to kinda work enough to play with it, the home buttons dont work or the power button and sometimes freezes up. Is there a way I can put the old motherboard in the phone and copy the system files to the external sd card or computer, then wipe the new motherboard and copy the files from the old mb to the new mb? I believe I have tried everything else but if anyone has any suggestions Im all ears
Thanks!
The easiest way would probably be to take the motherboard you're wanting to pull stuff from, hook it up (in the phone), and via USB in ADB do something like this:
adb pull / \backup
That would create a folder at the top level of your C: drive with all the contents of the phone on it. You could then move all of that to the new motherboard.
(That would probably be something like:
adb push \backup /
but I'm not 100% sure on that. You may have to do a more one-by-one procedure.)
when I try to push the backup I get this message....
failed to copy '\backup/acct/uid/0/task' to 'acct/uid/0/task' : Operation not permitted
Sooooo what did I do wrong??
Also I couldnt find where it saved the backup on my computer.
Ok, found the backup folder on my c: drive but what do I do with it now?
Bump cause I still havent figured this out Seems like I dont have the correct permissions in adb.

If you typed in your backup like what you wrote above (\backup/acct/uid/0/task), it's likely that you're running into an error because you flipped your slashes midway through.
The backup folder needs to be in the platform-tools folder of the ADB installation, as that's where ADB pushes from.
Once you have that, reboot into recovery mode. This may not be 100% necessary, but I usually find that pushes work better from there as the file system is (usually) read-write.
Then, try this:
adb push \backup /
(You may have to switch the slash before the word backup so it reads /backup, I'm not 100% sure.)
If that doesn't work, drag an individual folder out of the backup folder to the main platform-tools folder and type:
adb push /acct \
You'll have to repeat that for each folder, but it should work.
If all that fails, you can try to make a CWM flashable zip file. I don't know exactly what the procedure is for doing this, but I would guess that the answer exists somewhere on this site.

Actually what I typed was adb push \backup / then it gave me that error. It stored the backup folder on my c: drive, I will move it to the tools folder and see if that works. Going to go search on how to make a CWM flashable zip file now. Maybe i'll give that a shot too. Thanks for your help.
So If I am getting this correctly, I take the custom ROM I have flashed to my phone and then I can add my system files to to the system folder in the ROM I can then flash the ROM again and it will install all my files?
In theory, yes, that should work. All the CWM update file does is write the files inside of it to the folders that the updater-script file tells it to.
Again, this should work IN THEORY.

Ok, I tried this and put the .zip on my sdcard and ran it from recovery. Got an error that I didnt have enough space. Any suggestions?
When I connect my Note 4 to my PC via USB I can browse the folder structure but I can't drag and drop or copy/paste any files. What gives?
Also, I've tried in recovery mode to no avail. In fact, when I'm not in recovery mode I can't even see the files in the TWRP backup folders. In recovery mode I can see the files but I still can't copy them.
You should try using a file manager in recovery like this to move the files to your SD card.

I am trying to backup my WhatsApp Database folder to my computer which is Windows 8.1
When I try to copy the folder it throws up the error message " Unspecified Error "
I have also tried to copy the files individually but the same error comes up again. I can copy any other file from the WhatsApp folder but copying the Databases or any file from it comes up with an error.
Has anyone had any experience with this or knows how to fix it. I have never had this issue before on my HTC One X. I think the upgrade to 5.0.2 has done something to it as I could do it before on 4.4.4.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I assume you are copying it via USB, if you can set up a network share from the computer then copy it across via a file manager (eg ES File Explorer) (this effectively turnes one folder of your PC into a NAS), or you could try copying it to a microSD in the phone then taking the microSD copy it to the computer via a reader.
Yeah! I've had the same problem. I somehow end up copying part by part. May be file size or the sheer number of files are what are causing the error. Not sure.

I am now pretty sure its because of the Images folder inside Media. Too many images (not the size). Works flawlessly with the entire rest of the files. And the Images folder has to be opened and individually, a bunch of images have to copied at a time
