Go back to DCIM/100Media vs 102Media after reset counter?
Ok so I reset my camera counter & it made my camera start saving pics to folder 101Media & then 102Media after another reset. My camera counter was originally off by 3 & I was trying to get it to turn back & hit reset. Is there any way to get my pics to go back to saving in 100Media.
FYI: the registry edit to change the image counter found here for some reason never stuck on my HD2. I've gotten it to work on my Kaiser & Rhodium, but not this.
not sure if its gonna work, but try deleting the HTCIndexInfo.ini file form your DCIM folder
you rock! how did you come up with that idea? Not only did it go back to the 100Media folder, it also put the counter back to the right number!

Today I was trimming out the windows dir. without knowing what files are needed and what are not, anyways to make a long story short my explore is not working and I though installing Netfront would restore my explore back to normal but it didnt, is there a way to extact some files from the ROM without reloading the whole OS again?
You should just do a hard reset
pof I deleted everything in my extended rom dir. do I need to put them back before I do a hard reset? one more thing is there a easier way to do a hard reset, I can seem to get my timming right and it only does a soft reset.
System->Settings->Clear storage
Is there any way to do a total backup of my phone settings so as to dump them back in after a hard reset. I want some of the stuff gone with the hard reset but not all of it. I have done some registry tweaks and the aGPS fix that I would not want to have to hunt down the threads for everything I want to redo.

I use SPB Back up. It lets you select what exactly you want to back up and creates an executable file so if you dont have the app installed on a hard reset you can just run the back app it creates and be good to go.
Also, if you are looking for that level of customization have you considered going with a custom ROM or a kitchen?

I am still very new to this and trying to learn as fast as I can . I haven't gotten to the point of creating and flashing a rom/radio. I bought the phone and had someone else do an upgrade to a custom rom/radio. Since I have been using it there are things I have changed along the past few months that it would take me forever to find the threads with the step by step instructions to redo them. I just haven't found anything that told me it would do a backup of my entire phone registry tweaks and all. I know I have done some MMS fixes , the aGPS , 2 or 3 registry tweaks , fixed the video and installed several programs . I just hated the thought of having to start all over again anyways thanks for the help.
I'd love to be posting this in the actual dev thread, but I can't.
Currently, I can't use the Gallery app because despite having items in both internal and external DCIM folder, screenshots, and where ever else it looks, I consistently get a "no items" error when launching the app, either from the home screen or from Camera.
I came from v3.1.2, full wipe, flash v4.1.3. I had a couple issues right off the bat (including this one), so I reflashed. After the reflash, this is the only problem I have left. When using the Camera, photos still save as they should, but Gallery is full-on retarded and doesn't find anything.
Besides the reflash, I've cleared both Media Storage and Gallery, with no consequence after a reboot. Anyone have any other ideas?

Go to stock and reflash?
I haven't seen this myself... but i would wipe again and flash. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to full stock and do a factory reset unfortunately.
Another thought... do you have a .nomedia folder at that folder?
Happened to me once after a base change. A restart fixed it.

Nope, no .nomedia in any of the folders Gallery should be pulling from. Everything worked OK with v3.1.2, so I'm not sure what broke.
I noticed one other guy in the SHOstock2 thread had this problem, but he never came back with a fix.
I'll get a nandroid and TB and trying going back to stock. Will it make a difference going to stock vs. stock + root? Do I need to revert the bootloader as well?

shouldn't matter but I always go not rooted and factory reset then Odin stock kernel with root and use mobile Odin from there so I never have to use triangle away and never up my count.

Welp, wipe > ucle5_stock_rooted > wipe > SHOstock2 4.1.3 and everything seems to be working so far. Gallery works, screen stays off. Just a bummer it took so much messing around.
Thanks for the help!
I've been trying to put my phone back to its factory condition in an attempt to pin point a problem but what i've noticed is that nothing really truly reverts it back to that state.
I got the stock ATT Gingerbread file listed in another thread and tried to odin back to stock but when i browse through the file structure there are still old folders from previous applications as well as all my mp3s are still in a folder i created called "Muzika" and a bunch other crap... so its not truly doing a format of my phone.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way that completely formats the note and reverts it to factory state, maybe a thread or some info that i've missed along the way.

^^^^^^Lots of info on taking your phone back to stock and even stock ICS, factory reset/formatting inter SD will kill all folders

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a go on that thread tomorrow.
Doh!
I started a factory reset on my phone, then realised I still had unsaved precious holiday photos on the device.
I removed the battery almost instantly after pressing the reset button, thus stopping the process. The mobile is connected to a PC by USB, but of course without the battery in place there is no way of viewing and transferring files on the phone. When the battery is replaced, the factory reset process continues where it left off - on the "deleting files" screen.
So-
1. Is there any way to stop or interrupt the factory reset process?
2. Is there any way to retrieve the photos/files whilst the reset is frozen with the battery removed?
3. If the files cannot be recovered by normal operation of the phone, can they be recovered by a specialist company from the deactivated phone?
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 Duos (dual-SIM) GT-i9300i
Android will be stock current version.
Thanks for any help!
Bump.
Additional question:
Whats a recommended recovery utility to try and recover files after a factory reset?
Thx
Hello buddy, so when do a factory reset in any device is impossible to stop it. You 'll lose all your files. Is very important to do back ups in many memories card or in an app (Google drive).
I auto-back up all files except photos (to stop very large files being auto-copied to other devices by Google/Dropbox, etc) and normally just transfer each batch of photos to a server archive.
On this occasion I was just looking at the factory reset options, and off it went (screen is somewhat over-sensitive on this phone) - not even a warning dialogue, as on other devices and versions.
If it can't be stopped, then my only hope is to run a retrieval programme as soon as the phone has finished rebooting. Hence my question about what is the best/most successful data retrieval application that people recommend?

I am afraid that data retrieval is impossible since you haven't made some sort of backup and have deleted everything by factory resetting. Sorry buddy.

Dont get so worried. Wiping data partition doesnt delete /data/media. Which means your photos , videos , downloads is still there. Which recovery do you use ?
