Hi,
What is the system contact file that holds all contacts?
I mean the DB or the sql file....
Lets say my LCD is cracked and I cant see anything, and I want to use a file browser for coping the contacts file.
Anybody knows? Thanks

I doubt that you could see the system partition from your computer, but I might be wrong

3 questions about it:
1. What the path of contacts file in system partition?
2. If I am rooted can I see SYS partition?
3. If I am NOT rooted can I see SYS partition?
thanks
it's in /data and you can use adb to pull the info.
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
you MUST run a custom recovery or be rooted

No. ADB is your only option.

The commands are in the first link you posted, and yes you need a rooted phone.
I know but I need a way without busybox as It's very long
and I wanted to know anyone used the app which I posted on GSII
Just install the cf-root kernel, it has busybox built in.
Never used the app since it isn't needed, typing out a command isn't that trivial.

It's not hard, i just copy/pasted the commands from the first thread, but i know a bit about linux command line commands.
If you typo you could break stuff, that's life.
Or just try the app, maybe read the thread to see if other people have had it work for them.
The only risk free thing you can do with your phone is turn it off and put it back in the box

Thanks again for trying help me
If you are rooted you can just install galaxy s unlock by helroz and it has an option to just back up for /efs folder before you unlock. just select the backup option and don't do the unlock. No command line stuff required. The efs will be backed up to your phone storage.

Code:
su
busybox tar zcvf /sdcard/efs/efs-backup.tar.gz /efs
The tar command with zcvf takes the input, in this case the efs folder and compresses it into a file in the output location, in this case on the internal sd card, while maintaining unix permissions, important for if you need to restore, this will make a small file.
Code:
su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 > /sdcard/efs/efs_dev-block-mmcblk0p1.img
Su gains root
Cat means catalog aka copy contents of what you point it at, in this case you are copying the whole partition where the efs folder sits.
In unix terms a folder can sit on any partition and be mounted into any point in the file system, just because a folder sits under "/" which is the root directory doesn't mean it's on the same partition, hard drive, or bit of flash memory.
We dump the whole partition so that if something goes wrong you can flash it back, i know heimdall which is an alternative flashing program can flash back different parts of the rom.
It's best to have both these backups to make sure and to give you different recovery options, flash via a program for the img or copying over the contents in the case of the tar file.
I hope this helps

To restore you can copy the contents of the tar file you made over the EFS folder, or if you ended up with an img flash it via Heimdall
ps dont share your EFS folder backup, as someone could use it to clone your phone

So I was trying to install an update to an app and then it said that I didn't have enough space?!?! I don't have a lot of apps and I don't have anything special on my phone. But somehow I'm running out of System Storage (Device Memory) space?!?!
Attached are some screenshots. I've been trying to find how to view the system storage contents or find its path but haven't found anything useful. What is going on with my storage? What is using so much space?
Thanks!

Could be a wifi dump file... but I was under the impression that was an issue isolated to a specific firmware release on I9100G model phones only. And your screenshots look like ICS... (which is not available on G model phones yet)
What model phone do you have, and what version of firmware or ROM are you running?
Thanks for your reply. I have a GT-I9100 and am running ICS 4.0.3 XXLPB.

Hmm... do you have root? It may be worth checking to see if you have a file named something like "dumpstate_sys_WIFI_OFF_xxxxxxxxx_error.log.txt" that's pretty big in your /data folder.
Checked my phone, Applications take up only 158 MB.
You probably have some heavy games/multimedia applications installed. Otherwise, I cannot understand how your Applications take up 434 MB. (But even Google Play application size is limited by 50 MB) +To that, additional data storage by these applications, and it is sufficient to fill up your phone.
Perhaps, you should try to install/move some of your programs to SDCard.
If you have root and busybox, from terminal,
"cd /data"
"du -hs *"
will display disk usage by files/folders. find which files/folders use most storage, report here.

Yes, it's safe. It's just a log file. In fact, the workaround to "fix" this issue essentially keeps this file from being created.

See this thread (post 10, specifically) for the "workaround" to keep the file from being generated in the first place.
It's not my solution, I'm just linking to it.
"32K com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
32K flixster"
straight from Terminal. That's all there is in the data folder. I checked in Finder too...
Using an app to sort things by size, the biggest thing is a ClockWorkMod backup but that's over 2 GB so I assume that's not in the Device Memory/System Storage place. Anyways here's the path:
"/clockworkmod/backup/2012-05-05.12.04.32/data.ext4.tar" 1.69 GB and
"/clockworkmod/backup/2012-05-05.12.04.32/system.ext4.tar" 467 MB
The next biggest culprit is:
"/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967290299" which is a whopping 274 MB.
Thanks again for all your replies.

That looks like you're looking in the wrong data folder. If you're going through the "My Files" app, then the data folder you looked in was actually /sdcard/data. Which is not the same as /data.
Are you rooted? You need root access to browse the /data folder, and you'll need a different file explorer than "My Files", like Root Explorer.

Again, these are children of the /sdcard folder. Which is on a separate partition from the "system storage". So you are not looking in the right place. I'm betting you're not rooted, either.
Yes, I am rooted (little yellow hazard sign at boot up and CWM and Superuser Apps).
I don't know how to access the system storage partition then... I'm certainly no pro in the Android world though...

Well, do you have "Root Explorer", (paid) or "ES File Explorer" (free)? Get one of those, navigate to /data, sort by size. (if you use ES File Explorer, you'll have to enable going up to the root folder, and enable root browsing) See if you've got a wifi dump file.
BTW, the "little yellow hazard sign at boot up" doesn't necessarily mean you have root. That just means you have flashed a kernel (via Odin) that was not signed by Samsung. More often than not, this is a kernel that roots your phone, or is used to root your phone, but not necessarily.
Thanks again ctomgee. Apparently no wifi dump file on /data... Sigh...

Well, do what mirbeksm suggested in post 5... that should spit out disk usage of the /data folder ordered by files/folders, as he stated... post the results, or maybe you'll be able to figure it out after running.
I'm trying but can't quite figure out how to view the root folder from the computer (Mac to make things more complicated), it goes straight to /sdcard.

You can't run an adb shell from a mac?
I guess you could use a terminal emulator (there are several available from the play store) directly from the phone to start a shell, then type the commands from there. (you may have to do "su" first, if the prompt is a "$" instead of a "#")
Hi!
I have the following (cosmetic, i know...) issue: after formatting data for a clean install, i still have a folder which won't go away (see attachment). it contains files with corrupt names, and I could not delete it in any way (format, using CWM, deleting from phone or PC)
I think a PIT fash would do the trick, but I am afaid its not worth it for being too risky.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get rid of these files?

I tried deleting from PC and with solid explorer (with root) which was unsuccesful. The folder is the library of a comic reader app, thus not system relevant. Depending of the program I use to try to delete it, I get: "File or folder not found (CM File Manager), "unable to delete file /.../ö°Ñ5 π.∞..." (Solid Explorer), and on the PC, I can see a few files with names such as └éQ┬¾╠/Ú.┼, which can not be deleted, because they "can not be found."
does this help?

Lol... ran into this today and wanted to just impress upon folks just how amazing and encouraging it can be when someone takes the time to type out a response/suggestion.
In this case, 6yrs after the hnkotnis made this simple post, I'm rushing through a bunch of stuff, screwed up my build.prop (experimenting) and then came up against a roadblock where I couldn't restore my build.prop backup in TWRP.
I was confused as hell - I'm a relatively advanced used with several hundred ROM flashes under my belt and lots of troubleshooting capability but here I am absolutely stalled out on an issue that just drives me up the wall. I'm about to cave and just reset the phone entirely but figure I'll ask the question of Google.
I arrive here and within 10s I'm saying "Duh" to myself... grab the backed up build.prop, repeat the process and I'm back in business.
hnkotnis; if you're still around and part of this community - thank you! You're one of the good ones that make XDA what it is.
It might've seemed silly at the time and perhaps even a moment to make this post but I don't think we can understate the importance of community like this...

For full backup, which partitions do you recommend?
Galaxy S5 SM-900P Partition table
you can still simply create a copy right?
I have always had rooted phones and my SGS 5 is no exception, it got rooted using CFroot in the carpark immediately on picking it up.
I have therefore always simply made a copy of the efs folder on to the external sd card which is then synced to my dropbox.
However I have not really kept up to date with developments in these areas, so my question is nowadays is this still enough to ensure the safety of my device and it's ability to connect to my carrier. In the past when I have had issues after flashing roms and things simply deleting the /efs folder and copying the contents of my back up into it and rebooting has always been sufficient to get my carrier back up and running is this still the case with the international SGS5 qualcomm variant or do I need to consider other elements?
When will it work for SM-G900V? I just rooted my phone today and would like to use this for my backups. I just tried it by using EFS backup and now it's stuck on a triangle with an exclamation mark that says Please Wait. Ugh! Help...
