Hi my brother got the 4.3 update on his HTC One (T-mo) and after he received the update all hit photos were gone. i remember there being a bug where the photos were moved because of the filing system in jb. but I've looked all over his phone. Can anyone give some insight or are we screwed?
thank you guys

I'm not sure if this is the best answer, but when it happened to me all I could do to get them back was to revert to a 4.1.2 rom copy them over to my computer then upgrade back to 4.3

Wouldnt i have to unlock the bootloader which wipes all the data on the device?
Use a root explorer and look in /data/media. All the old sdcard files/folders should be there. The new mount point for the sdcard is /data/media/0. You can move all your old data & folders to the 0 folder and they will show up under the sdcard. I believe it has to do with adding user profiles in 4.2/4.3, but I could be wrong.
for next time
Make sure you use google drive and/or dropbox to automatically backup your photos.

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.

Thanks for the reply. I'll have a go on that thread tomorrow.
Hey guys,
So I have this AOSP 4.2.1 JB ROM running on my phone now.
But the thing that i'm defenitely missings is the photosphere in the Camera app.
Can i donwload and flash it myself, and does anyone have a link for me?
And another thing i'm concerned about is my backups.
Are my TWRP and Titanium backups automatically placed in the right folder to maintain them or do i need to copy them to another place on my phone?

You definitely can get photosphere yourself. I am on HTC Sense 4.1.1 and I have photosphere along with my stock 4.2 camera. I have a zip file sitting on my computer with it and it is working great for me, but you might like to find your own by a simple Google search (also apparently the file size is too large for me to attach here regardless) for "4.2 camera apk" or something of the sort.
I'm not quite following your second question. If you make an additional, more recent backup, they are all stored in specific folders on your "SD card" (phone memory) under those apps that were created for that purpose. If you wipe your phone, however, I'm not sure they will stay, so you might try finding those backups and storing them elsewhere (I think the premium version of Titanium has some way to let you not have to do that, but I'm not sure. I also do not know about TWRP's backups. Sorry).

Well the question is about the profile thing. When you flash a 4.2 ROM you get profiles (a android jb 4.2 function) and your SDcard gets formatted to: sdcard/0/.... with all your files in there. So the question is like: how do i make sure my backups and files maintain when i flash (and wipe data) something on my phone?
I used this I believe: /s/zr7zvb16nc03b4f/4.2Camera_t04.zip (Add dropbox.com in front of it because I have not reached the qualified anti-spam threshold to post URLs).
For your latter question, I'm going to say try saving the backups to an external source.
I found a FAQ for Titanium Backup: "So you can use Titanium Backup to restore applications and system settings on top of a new ROM. Or, if you copied your Titanium Backup folder, you can restore to a new phone." I'm going to guess your case is along the same vein.

The SD card does not get 'formatted' to 0 folder. It just a folder that can be accecessed by JB 4.2.. The files etc that were previously in the SD Card remain intact, you just can't access it...
i.e. SDCARD\ becomes unaccessible and SDCARD\0 becomes to root folder...
Hey guys. I need some help with a nandroid.
First of all, does a nandroid backup the data from the internal storage?
I made a nandroid a few days ago before switching from an aosp ROM to a touchwiz ROM. I wiped the data during the flash. Didn't really like it so I went back. Now I've lost all my ringtones and about 140 pictures. I've always wiped data during flashes and never had this happen. I have nandroid manager and I see there's a couple 1.5 gig folders and a few 500 meg ones as well. Is there a way to go through my nandroid and try to find my pictures? I mean if a nandroid really backs up everything then there's gotta be a way to get my stuff back, right?
Help please!

Aosp is 4.2.2 file system format which is in the /sdcard/0/ folder. TW is 4.1 which is in /sdcard/.... I've found that if you use ROM toolbox go into explorer, navigate to /data/media and move everything from the /data/media/0 back to /data/media except the TWRP file if you're using Team Win recovery.
This is covered pretty good in the Galaxy Nexus forums...

I did flash the downgrade zip after flashing the TW rom, but I still couldn't find my pictures or ringtones...even after going back to aosp.

Yeah, I've had the box checked for sync-ing photos on my google account ever since I got the phone, but it never sync'd. Suddenly now I have a folder in my gallery called "auto backup"...

Weird, if I go to the /data folder on my computer, there's no media folder in it. But if I use root explorer, the media folder is there and all my pictures are too.
BUT, I copied all the pictures and pasted them in /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/camera thinking they'd show up in the folder, but it didn't work. I even tried booting into recovery and fixing permissions and wiping both caches, they still don't show up.
Am I doing it wrong?
Wow wtf?
I turned my phone off last night and turned it back on today, decided to check my gallery, and BAM!
All my pictures are back in the gallery!
Thanks guys!
I installed INFECTION 2.9.1 over my rooted ICS installation, but decided I liked the look of the ICS sense better, so I decided to restore my nandroid image of ICS. It booted up but got stuck on the screen right after the white HTC one. I flashed back to jellybean and tried a FACTORY RESET. It reboots me into RA-VIGOR with the error message "E:Invalid command argument"
I can boot back into jellybean but now it is telling me there is NO INTERNAL memory. Where did it go?
Have I killed my phone here?

No you just didnt read threads or previous quiestions...upon moving from stock to a 4.2 based rom you got the bug from memory on that...you need to switch to twrp if not on that and mount and partition your emmc and internal sd card....this has been a known bug for the longest time now....dont use Amon Ra (RA-VIGOR) as it gives bugs on rom installs for any rom really and it doesnt play nice....such as possible phone overheats, battery drain, and many random reboots even after not upping your min frequency

Yep, you are right, I did not read previous threads as I did not know there was a problem with Amon Ra when I first installed it. The Infection 2.9.1 thread recomemended using it! Anyhow, I have since got a message pop up on the screen that said something about bad memory and told me to format it. I did, and now I can see my internal storage again. It is now empty of course, but what was on it when it was factory ? Is there anywhere I could get a copy of those files from?

Yep, the software that was on it before formatting. It was just whatever default files were on the phone from the factory, and I assume some of them files were to restore the phone to factory. Is there anywhere I could find those files and just copy them back to the phone?

Hey, as you seem to be very knowledgeable about all this (and i'm most definatly not , what I ultimatley would like is jellybean with the sense clock and weather . I also noticed from the infected rom that the camera did not report how many pictures could be taken with the available memory left. Is there is a rom out there can satisfy my needs? The phone is S-on BTW

if you mean internal as in the 10gb usable memory that pictures and stuff store to than thats cool....dont delete anything in the root of system if thats what you mean...ill look into the specifications you want...ive seen a few...as far as sense clock and weather there is a few apps you can download in the market that replicate it and is themable

Yes, it is the internal 10gb that I meant. For a while it was not showing, either on the phone or in windows. After the message on the phone came up to format it (which I did) I could then see it in both windows and on the phone. I had not taken any notice of what was on it beforehand. I have only had the phone for a couple of weeks as it was given to me by a friend who was cut off from Verizon for not paying his bill !! I shoved in a TMOBILE sim from a spare phone I had and it works just fine for making calls but only Edge for data (not that it matters as I have a Optimus L9 for data)
Any info you could find would be most appreciated.

to go back to stock you actually have to first s-off and unlock the bootloader....also 4.2 reboots furiously if you dont set things up right...try a 4.3 rom like Tachyon or Carbon Rom....on either one of those ive yet to have a randoom reboot on proper settings that i set up

I was looking at the Tachyon rom yesterday as it happens, but I read somewhere that in 4.3 they changed something with the way memory is handled? and that you can no longer select the external SD card in the camera app, only the internal memory. Is that right?

yes but to be honest....stock is the same exact way
Edit...if your looking for a good fresh fast and to have everything work but base build go with tachyon....if your looking for fully customizable everything thats fast and stable go with carbon rom or pac 4.3....also you can download and replace the stock gallery with one that does save to internal sd card which is 10gb...you can always transfer to external sd as well as to a pc

try diskdigger from playstore. but since its already deleted and you have used the phone, Im not very sure about this, but it was the only recovery programme I found to be working well for some extent. good luck.
only if the picture was stored on ext sdcard....
Put the microdf into card reader and use Recuva to recover latest deleted files. ( search for recuva ) Good luck !
