Go straight to ics. Remember this is a beta. There are still bugs in them.

I tried to go straight to ics and I got it to go for 5 seconds then the android guy with the orange triangle popped up.... I have it named to update.zip

hello brotha....you will need to name your file [update]. it is a .zip file already if you haven't extracted it. make sure that it is around 293 mb. if you have anymore trouble let me know and i will be glad to help you get it going.

To add to the excellent comments so far, it could be that the file you downloaded is corrupt (the file size should be 293MB as oneovakindoldys2 stated), or that your memory card for some reason isn't compatible. If you suspect the file, download it again. Be sure to turn off anti-virus real-time scanning. If you have another sd card you can try, do that as well. Hope this helps.

Anti-virus scanning - that's if you're downloading the file on your pc . Wanted to make that clarification of what I meant.

I've downloaded it on the tablet 5 times now and same thing orange triangle.... I'm downloading it on my pc and I'm gunna format my sd card...... Will post back after I try.... Everytime I have tried the file was named correctly... update.zip ....

Help restoring data

Hey thanks to all reading this. I have a problem extracting data from an old phone, sorry if this is in wrong section I'm using an s3 so came here. Situation is had s2 and dropped in water. Phone works but screen doesn't. I think it works in some spots but not enough for me to get the SD to work. When its plugged in I see the drive disappear instantly so can't get file. The file I need is a PDF I downloaded months back. It saved to my phones drive. Im not having much luck with adb and not sure I even know where to look for the PDF. I was able to view it using adobe reader. I have a nandroid but dunno where to look for his PDF. I am on a twrp recovery so kinda screw ed there and screen cast a no go. Anyone know where to look in nandroid browser for a PDF downloaded to phone mem? Any ideas are appreciated thx so much

You could try airdroid, connect to your phone wirelessly from your pc and browse files on it, then just download from phone to pcs
Wait a minute, sorry, you said you cant see the screen very much so how you gonna be able to down load an app ... duh my bad.
Ya the screen is completely black. Sound works and some background stuff but can't see anything and not sure what works

Does adb recognize the device? If so its just a matter of reading through adb for dummies (will try and find a link) to get the right command.
Or pm EarlyMon. I bet he knows the cmd

I havent tried adb too much I'm not sure if its picking it up or not, I have all the latest components but might need older ones. When I do try adb it dosent detect anything so far. Not even the s3 so not ruling it out yet. I'm so desperate I'm thinking about restoring the nandroid to s3 and see what happens. The file I need is my medical license without it I'm f'd. Its a hassle to get a new one, so much so I'm going thru this headache. About to chuck this thing

Recover lost files?

So my internal SD was accidentally wiped, I really need a CWM backup I had in there. Is there any good file recoveries? All I've tried failed. Am I screwed? thanks
Sad to say but yes. Just about everyone who flashes has been where you are. Experience teaches you to not only have a cwm backup but to use dropbox or picassa for photos, your laptop for music and your google or Gmail account for contacts . Sorry this doesn't help you but it will anyone else that reads the thread.

Okay thanks. I'm fine for music and photos, mostly my titaniumbackups that I really miss
Yes, you are screwed. There are a few other threads about this. I lost some pictures on my Xoom due to the same thing.

I'm not sure if this will work, but I took classes on forensic recovery. There is a program called FTK imager. It's free and an amazing piece of software. You connect the card to your computer and perform an image. The program takes a bit getting used to, but after the image, open the image in ftk if it doesn't automatically and you should see your typical file structure. You can then recover files that haven't been overwritten.

Well crap.. I originally thought you said external... You may still give it a shot mounting your phone on your computer and trying it then. I've never tried it with a phone before..

Not seeing external sd?

I'm having an issue with my external sd, it's only 4gb. I formatted to fat32 and the phone acts like it wants to load, but Doesn't do anything.
This is my first time with this phone running anything aosp so I'm kind of new to this.
Any idea or suggestions? I'm on liquid smooth rc7 w/ ktoonz kernel btw.

Yeah I tried that. I even tried the sdcard.org site but for some reason my sd card wasn't recognized! I have a mac so I just used disc utility. The funny thing is, I formatted the card, dragged my ring tones to the card and tested. They showed up, so I dragged the rest of it over. My stuff disappeared and wasn't seen in the gallery, but was in root explorer.
Is there a folder or file or something that determines the formatting? I have a lost.dir folder that comes up and I have no idea why.

Ok, the lost.dir is normal.
Go into app manager, clear cache and data for Media Storage, then reboot and wait a few min for it to rescan.

Thanks, I'll have to give that a try. I'm going to give Frosty JB a try and see what happens. Hopefully it works out like I'm hoping it will.

Help can't flash new roms on T-mobile s3!!!!

Hi I might have erased something on my phone. I have flashed roms before but something must have gone wrong. I flashed a cm10 rom and it messed my folders up by creating a folder on the phones memory (I forgot what it was called)I tried moving the folders out of it because my files looked ok and something happened where it erased my external 64gb and crashed my phone( it became unresponsive when trying to move the data to my pc. I flashed the stock rom using odin and it took ok I rerooted and installed twrp and tried to flash different roms but they all stay at the boot screen. Wierd thing is I can restore/backup just fine. i just can't install custom roms. I also saw something that i never noticed before in my folders on the phones internal memory I will provide a pic. Are those usb folders normal ? I can't access them though. Someone please help what can I do to be able to flash roms again? Also before anyone mentions it I tried with clockwork same issue.

Flash new ROM. Factory reset.
Yeah, I think I know what's happening, enter the sdcard folder, and if you see a folder in there called "0", all of your stuff should be there. This happened to me while using CM10.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
That's what happens on cm10.1 just look in your 0 folder.

Thanks for the help guys yes i'm Puerto Rican and I already knew about the 0 folder issue and the work around (i do look at this site quite frequently but don't post much because i look before posting) but the problem happened when i tried to move the items from that folder to my pc. The fact is it just stopped transfering files completely my phone shut off it erased my external 64gb sd card and it pretty much corrupted the internal storage thank god i was able to factory reset with odin. However even after i factory reset with odin i couldnt flash roms. Thats why i posted this thread, and also to make sure that those usb folders were normal (which i found out were normal to see) Reflashed Odin factory rom 3 times in a row and that seemed to clear up the issue. Like i said thanks for all the help and sorry if it seemed like i was noobing. :good:

[Q] sdcard/0

Are you allowed to delete sdcard/0? It says it is taking up about 17 gb and I think it is just a duplicate of the sdcard folder.

If you run any CM based ROM's, it'll just show up again. If you run only stock then you can get rid of it.

That is a good question.
I'm on stock at the moment too. I use estrong file explorer and it shows sdcard/0 as my main. And storage/sdcard/0 below that.
All my work is done through Sdcard/0, so I assume/storage/sdcard/0 is the one you can delete.
Honestly I don't know though. I usually just wipe it and start from scratch.

I just deleted from storage/sdcard/ and it deletes in sdcard/0 also. So apparently they are one and the same. Kinda thought so, and now I know.

Id say your best bet would be to backup one or the other to a desktop/laptop and delete one. So if you happen to get rid of some stuff you need you can still get it back later.
