Hello everyone!
I will ask my question here since i am not able to post directly in the ViperX+ forum.
Yesterday I installed the new ViperX+ ROM with Android 4.2.2 and it worked out pretty well so far. After booting I moved everything from "/data/media" into "/data/media/0" where the sdcard mounts to in >4.2 ROMs because of the multi user feature.
So the problem is that I can't access my data. Everything is there under "/data/media/0" when I use ES file explorer, but it is not under "/sdcard" where the Phone seems to look for it.
I reinstalled Kernel and ROM but it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have a similar problem?
Would be great if someone could help.
EDIT:
Droid Explorer shows that the Link /sdcard is pointig to "/data/media/Legacy" instead of "/data/media/0" where all my data is. I know that the 0 folder is the default for the first user of the phone, but what is Legacy?

I know it goes against everything everyone has said about using Rom Manager on our G Tabs but I've had no issues, well almost none. When I get notified of an update for a nightly or stable build and download it, it will download fine, however when it boots into recovery & tries to install the download, it cannot find it. I assume this is because the download location that Rom Manager uses is not a location that out G tabs or CWM recognize. Is there a way to force Rom Manager to download the builds to a folder that CWM will recognize? Their is no option for this in Rom Manager so I was wondering if I have to go into the system files & change anything there. If someone has some insight as to how that should be done could you please share it?
Check on cyanogens web site. As long as Rom Manager keeps soft bricking devices I strongly discourage its use and its completely unnecessary
Thanks & I am aware of that, however I've been using RM since the day I got my G Tab & have had no issues except that listed above. But do you have any insight on how to resolve my issue?
remove your external sdcard... that is what i had to do... but i havent ran out space on the emmc either... also, using adb: vi /etc/vold.fstab and change sdcard to sdcard2 and emmc to sdcard...
Problem solved and cwm works great for me also.
Pull your external micro sd before doing the update and it will work fine, I checked today. But my vold.fstab file is modified so mmc2=sdcard and ext micro sd card(mmc1)=emmc.
You may not have had issues but it was directed to the next n00b who read your thread and soft bricked his tab and then opened yet another thread about the same subject claiming he was just following what he saw in this thread. Nothing against you and I'm glad it worked for you
Hi, Because of the issue I described below. I need to have a custom recovery to have acces to the internal memory from the recovery menu.
Currently my phone is not rooted. If I understand all correct I need to flash a recovery like Philz.
Will this affect the data which is now stored on my phone? This since that's my main goal, regain access to that data and copy it. If flashing my phone would erase this, there is no need for me to flash it at all.
All i need is access to the internal SD memory.
Thanks for any replies

I have a replacement phone, so would like to transfer some data from the internal SD memory to an external SD card. Problem is... the phone is not powered on long enough to do this!
I tried to clear the cache, also booted in safe mode (also shuts down in safe mode).
My only concern is to get some data from the internal SD memory. Any suggestions for a workaround?
I've so far followed these instructions:
Pre requisite is having adb "installed" on your windows PC. Download THIS file and follow the instructions in the readme.
You need to observe the following. For android 4.1.x and earlier, /data/media for android 4.2.x and newer, /data/media/0 - I will assume 4.2.2 for this guide,.
1) Boot into recovery, connect usb and go to "mounts and storage". Toggle the "mount data" options to mount these partitions. Tip, when mounted, the option then becomes "unmount data"
2) Open "cmd" in Windows and type the below code, which will copy all your data to a folder called sdcard on your windows desktop
Code: adb pull /data/media/0/ c:\users\rootsu\desktop\sdcard
Also note, this assumes you have windows vista or newer. Also, it assumes your windows username is rootsu.
That's it, simple.

Errors while downloading from internal memory
Hi,
I'm trying to get access to the internal memory of my Sansung Galaxy S4 GT-i9300. This since the phone seems to be in some sort of bootloop. Before going back to factory setting i want to secure all data which is stored on the phone. Mainly my whatsapp history.
I have rooted my phone and installed Philz as custom recovery. I have downloaded the latest drivers for my phone and installed adb on my win7-64 client (dutch installation).
Now in a shell I run:
pull adb /data/media c:\gebruikers\me\ff
I get the following error:
cannot create directory c:]gebruikers\me\ff\Samsung/Music/etc... : No such file or directory
Can anyone help me to point out what I'm doing wrong here?

Can I have a screenshot of the error please?
Also, have you read:
General > Sticky roll-up thread > S3 storage (data recovery)?
I have laid out the adb commands fully here.
Please can you use proper thread titles?
HI,
Since I'm a new user i cannot post links yet, so i've put a screenshot here postimg.org/image/ngflqe3yt
I did read: General > Sticky roll-up thread > S3 storage (data recovery)?
I was a great help and pushed me approx. 90% on my way. Now i'm stuck on the last part.
thanks again!
Does the folder "ff" exist?
the directory ff is existing. However the subfolder Samsung was not. So i now created this and ran the same command again. And... it's copying all data from my mobile!!!
Now i can go back to factory settings or try a custom ROM since i'm not that happy with touchwizz.
Just awesum! I thank you for this forum and the help provided.

Oh ok. Thats good. Its odd you had to create samsung though but never mind. The weird thing was how after samsung, the \ turned to /
The Samsung folder justy contains some sample music & video.
I could have seen this myself, guess it just got a bit late yesturday.
Anyway, great help. I will now see if i can bring my S3 back to live or turn it in for repair.
Hi all!
I'm new to this forum, and i'm not an android expert.
My phone is a NGM Legend2 which is a clone of the Gionee GN868, which is a clone of Blu Vivo 4.3.
I've found a custom rom of android 4.2.2 for the Blu Vivo 4.3, so i'm trying to flash this rom into my phone.
I had to change the boot.img file with the one from my stock rom and also the updater-script because the partitions of the internal memory are differently located and so the system partition and the user data partition are mounted in different positions compared to the Blu Vivo's ones.
After these changes the phone boots up, but there are few bugs.
The biggest of these bugs is that i can't install ANY app in my phone! Because Play Store gives me error 110, and if i try to install an apk it simply says "App not installed". I think that in a certain way it tries to install the apps to the same wrong data partition that i changed in updater-script.
So, my question is:
Is there any file in the rom that tells to the system where are located the memory partitions? If really exists something like that, is it possible to change it??
Thanks! I hope somebody can help me! :fingers-crossed:
Hi everyone,
I have a LG G3 (AT&T) version d850, running lineageOS 14.1, rooted (verified with root checker) and bootloader unlocked.
Thing is, after flashing lineage and gapps through TWRP, my internal storage has stopped working.
I've read from a lot of threads from xda and other forums but i still can't find any possible solution
With this i mean: i can't see files from the internal storage (/sdcard/ which points to ->storage/self/primary) from the explorer that comes within lineage, nor root browser nor ES file explorer, i can't push files with adb unless im in recovery mode, can't open camera because it says "internal storage is running out of space. Tried to change ownership/permissions but it was useless, even with the Fix permissions script that i found here at xda.
Im not by any means an android expert as im just starting to explore this kind of things, i'll be thankful if someone can help

Hello. I have a trouble with my Xperia TX, so please help me!
I installed CyanogenMod 13 to my Xperia TX and it worked without any problem for a while, but some troubles below happened suddenly.
1. I can't see internal storage through apps like CyanogenMod File Manager.
2. I can't take any photos including screenshots.
3. I can't create any new folders or files. I can't remove, rename or modify any folders and files as well.
4. I can't download any files from browser, One Drive app and Google Play.
5. I can't see any folders or files when I connect my Xperia to my Windows PC though I set to use MTP. My phone is recognized but the file explorer says there are no folders or files in my phone.
Of course my internal storage is not full. And actually I can access internal storage through TWRP.
The situation is quite similar to the thread below, but I couldn't find any solutions there.

Actually I tried to install the same ROM twice again and it worked fine for a while but few days after the same trouble happens.
I eager you to give me any solutions! Thank you.
