Hi Everyone,
Recently allot of random images popped up in my gallery, and i don't know how to get rid of them, because they point to a System folder. Here are some examples:
/System/etc/mrg_default_forms/ this is the common rood, followed by:
-MyGuide/MyGuideBoard/Initial/02/res/dreawable/
-ConciergeBoard/card_forms/birthday_noti_no_contact/res/drawable-xxxhdpi/
-QvoicePlus/sms/
Can anyone help me get rid of them without rooting my phone? it's not that i don't want to root it, but i don't want to lose the warranty.
If you need more information please let me know, i appreciate any ideas.
Daniel

Have you tried factory resetting and wiping internal storage? Those might be thumbnails or some app might have created this crap. Make a backup of ONLY those folders / pictures which do not lead to that path.

I am a noob and I am not a developer or even really great at programming or PC's in general.
I've managed to mess up my phone and have been looking all over the web for how to fix it and I am at a loss.
I decided to register and ask for help. Please be patient and understanding if I ask a lot of questions or don't understand things you accept as basic, understood or common. I looked through existing threads for help and couldn't find the answer I needed. Many thanks in advance for the help. Readers digest of the issue below.
Samsung Galaxy S 4G. T-Mobile. T959V5B5-Custom.
I tried the non-mandatory firmware update from T-mobile and it wrecked the functionality of my phone. I tried to go back with a couple new Rom versions and think I more or less ended up with three roms installed on my internal storage which has given me basically no space which was never an issue for me before. I have used a disk viewer to verify there is unmounted data that is taking up space but I can't figure out how to get to it through the phone or my pc to delete it. I assume if I do this that the empty space will be absorbed and fix the internal storage issue.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I love my phone and just want it working right again.

The course of action I would recommend at this point is using a tool called Odin to re-flash the stock ROM to your phone. I would recommend taking a look at this guide for the step-by-step procedure on how to do this. Let me know if you still have questions .

Hey! Big thanks for the reply. Here come the questions...
I used Odin to put the other OS versions on the phone so I am familiar with the software though its been several months. I also still have the ROM that I flashed to phone. I am curious though that if it didn't wipe the previous partitions last time, what would keep it from doing the same thing this time and really messing me up? Or did I click or not click something in Odin or use the wrong option and doing it differently this time would fix the problem?
I located the files on the phone and have verified they are not mounted and looked at their size using DiskInfo. They are located at "/dev/block". Do you know what this is or why they are there? I can delete them using ES File Explorer with SuperUser. Is it ok to delete these and would I get the benefit of increased storage by doing so? I played around with moving them to the SD card and didn't see an increase in my internal storage but was afraid that a reboot after doing to might be bad.
Can you tell I am a little gun shy?
Here are the names of the files, the set starting with t starts at 0 and goes to 12 and the other 1 to 12.
tsfr0-tfsr12
bml1-bml12
Thanks again!

Using Odin to re-flash the stock ROM will automatically setup the right configuration for. Do Not delete the files in /dev/block these are critical to the phones operation and part of the phones normal partitioning and operation as previously stated deleting these will cause a lot of problems if you delete them. If you really want to free up some internal storage space I would recommend deleting the carrier pre-installed bloatware, before you delete any bloatware makesure to backup the apps you deleted with Titanium Backup or a similar backup or flash Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project and make a Nandroid Backup which is a complete backup of your phone. And don't worry about being gun shy we are all beginners at some point the only real way to become an expert if practice, practice, practice .
So I am working on the Heimdall One-Click.
Handshaking with loke, got no response. FML.
Help.
Edited: Apparently a low battery is not your friend...
after a little reading around on the net I tried a different one and BAM.
Back to stock. We'll see how this goes.
Being rooted with superuser had me spoiled...so much bloatware.
Hi there,
I'm new here, so it's my first post and I hope I'm in the right place to ask here
Yesterday my girlfriend accidently deinstalled one of her favorite apps from her SGS3 (via Play Store), it's a game and all its game data is stored internally as it seems. No backup or anything else has been made before
She just reinstalled the app from the Play Store and opened it just once, but did not do anything else yet.
I've already searched the forum and googled around a lot, but did not get any appropriate answer to my question:
Is there any way to recover the lost app data to make her happy again?
I've already tried several apps from the Play Store like: Dumpster, Undelete, DiskDigger, Hexamob Recovery but nothing worked or even could access the internal storage or was just able to maybe recover lost pictures or videos.
Device info:
I've rooted her SGS3 I9300 and recently flashed it with CM 10.2 nightly (playing around with the phone while waiting to buy myself a new one )
I really hope there is someone out there who has an idea or just gives me an appropriate answer.
I'm not a native speaker so my apologies for every mistake I maybe made
Thanks in advance!

you said the data is not lost. so cut and save the data somewhere you'd like to. re-install the game and paste this data under android>data.

The app was deinstalled and as far as it seems all its stored data with it, so I cannot cut and paste it in again, that's why Im asking for a way to recover the app data

you also said the phone is rooted. enable root option to the file explorer and then you will be able to copy/cut/paste the data on the system. my preference es file explorer. menu> root explorer> mount R/W> set permissions to RW. then you will be good to go.

Maybe I was not clear enough. I tried your suggestion and searched for 'smurf' to find any data, now I got several files and folders containing 'smurf'.
I think the data was deteled while the deinstallation of the app, am I right?
Hard to answer this, but in which files will the app data be stored and if it is deleted, how can I get it back?
I found a solution, she did do a backup without telling me, 2 months ago...stupid little... my bad or better: her bad.
Thanks for your help so far!
Thread can be closed now...
Just FYI, without that backup, there would have been nothing you could have done.

Now that's what I wanted to know
I already thought that there might be no way to get the data back, due to the storage structure / filesystem and even to the fact that she reinstalled the app and started it (main data has maybe been written at that moment, so the old data blocks have been overwritten or so)
Really thanks!
Hi Guys,
I own my|Phone Rio Fun 3G and I accidentally
soft-bricked it by using something that increase
ram potential. Something with "3D".
So, I tried to look at some guides, but it seems
impossible for I lack SD card (I dont have any).
Something came to me, I searched, but sadly,
I failed. So, can I copy ones essential files (system files)
to another phone of the same kind so I can fix my phone?? If so, then what
files should I copy? And how to do it. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I am running out of ideas.
I have lost some important photos on my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and I have tried a couple of photo recover apps such as diskdigger, dr.fone, to name a few and they do not find them. It says to perform deep scans i need to root. Is there any app or pc software I could use to do deep scans on the internal memory of my phone?
P.s. I've looked at ways of rooting the phone but I'm confused, was looking at using twrp and magisk but not sure how to start as I read somewhere samsung phones have their own flash software.
Thanks for any support
If I recall correctly, rooting any Samsung phone requires a hard reset, so that's probably a worse idea lol
Why not check if they're in the "thrash" folder in your gallery, if you have it on
Or check if you have sync on on any of your photo apps
Cheers, ive checked the trash folder and its empty so they must have gone outside the last 30 days, and until this weekend I never synced my photos with the cloud (rookie mistake I know)
Guess they are gone forever

Usually, if the deleted photos not being overwritten by new data, such data recovery softwares can help us recover them back. But before that, we need to root it by using samsung root app. You can search such root apps online and choose the one you like better. Then it can help you scan out all data on your Samsung Galaxy S9+ and recover them back. Please note: If the deleted photos are overwritten, there is no way to recover them back.
Hi all,
Yesterday, I accidentally deleted my save on Samsung A51. It really was important stuff. I've tried GBoard, but it only recovers the latest save. I need to recover like 5 previous saves. Do you think there's another way to do it? I've tried recovery tools like iMyFone D-Back, but I don't know what to look for. Not sure if it was saved as an image or a document. Can anybody help me out?
Thanks in advance
