So i'm running ParanoidAndroid ROM on my phone and have flashed at least 8 ROM's to my phone, each time praying I don't lose my IMEI since there seems to be no rhyme or reason why people are losing it. So I finally decided I should backup my IMEI just in case. I chose to use Geek's method to do so since it seems the easiest way to do it, however, typing out the lines of script manually seems awfully tedious so I decided to try to use gScript Lite. Problem is I have no idea what the hell i'm doing.
This is what I have done so far:
Installed GSL on my phone. Installed Notepad+ on my Windows 7 PC and copied and pasted the lines of script to NPP, one for enabling diag mode and one for disabling diag mode. After copying each set of script to NPP, I saved the file as a .sh file. At this point I think I should move said files to my sdcard and import them via GSL. Does this sound about right? I have no clue here and am just winging it but would like some input from those who know what's up before I fuxor my phone.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
**Edit**
I went ahead and saved the file to my sdcard in the gscript folder and imported them and created the scripts

I have used ADB backup before and have 2 backup files saved. i am trying to backup my Galaxy Note 2 and it wont seem to work. It is running 4.1.2 stock rom. I have rooted it since my last backup and now it doesnt seem to work. I have tried with SDK tools updated fully and copied the adb files into the correct folder. I have also tried deleting all sdk files and only updating to 4.1.2 and it still doesnt work. I have done it before using the command prompt but this time it seems to fail.
It recognizes my device and my device has debugging mode on. But when I run the backup command as I always have it says unable to connect.
Any suggestions or help? I really want to backup everything since I almost just bricked my phone by spilling water on it. But got it cleaned and used Odin to get it working again. I want to full backup just in case it bricks out again.

Anyone have any ideas? If not another way to fully backup everything? My phone is rooted.
Hi , I have a file issue with my SF2 , I wanted to put my media default folders in my SD card , but I made a mistake with the picture fodler and I put it on the root of the SD . So now my picture folder is a shortcut to my SD card I can't revert the action . When I right-click properties , it shows the SD volume information and no longer the picture folder it was.

It's messy, but you could try the registry.
Run regedit (hit Start or Win+R, type "regedit" without quotes, hit Enter, approve UAC prompt).
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
Edit the strings in the relevant registry values, such as "My Pictures".
Log out and log in again (or just restart).
I can't promise it will work - your error is weird and I've never seen it before - but hopefully it will.
Yeah it worked ! I had to do it ten times after removing and re-insert the SD but it finally worked
thank you !!

Zenfone 2 quick resources
Started collecting resources here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
Their are more than a few ways to root ZF2.. I chose this method after a few failed attempts with some others..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/root-newbie-root-instructions-zenfone-2-t3114063
It is important to know that in order to use root properly, as I found out the hard way, an unlocked bootloader is a must before trying to add a recovery or rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/congrats-to-bootlocker-unlocked-t3138547
The reason I say this is because I took the first update and then rooted.. This was bad.. Almost every attempt to unlock bootloader afterward failed.. Couldn't update. Couldn't factory rest. So what was I to do? Luckily this wasn't my first rodeo.. After hours of xda searching and kicking my own ass, I started to remember," hey I have a brain let,s look up Asus support for phones".. Sure enough in black and white I was saved.. Now mind you guys.. You will have to use adb or fastboot tools as almost all of these instructions require sideloading or fastbooting.. So as GP I downloaded all above updates and went through them all erasing one after the other once updated to conserve the 16gig version I'm using. So grab updates add to root of internal storage using PC and USB cable, pull from USB after downloading and Boom..Phone will auto recognize update hit install and your good..
This thread was created for anyone with a similar problems or soft bricked their ZF2..
I have noticed something weird with my device. When I connect my device into a computer or laptop running on Windows 7 and then view the contents of my "sdcard folder" or the /storage/emulated/0/ directory, there are some files and folders that can't be seen.
Those files and folders, however, can be viewed in an explorer app within the device such as Root Explorer or if I access my device from my computer through SSHDroid using WinSCP or command terminal like Putty.
I'm attaching a screen shot of what it looks like.

Do anyone here knows what's the issue in here, what caused this, and a way to fix this?
I'm running on stock rom 6.0.1 build number MMB29V, and my device is rooted.
Thanks in advance!
open Media Storage settings
clear data
reboot
@{fd}ware, I had the settings in Windows correctly. I learned from further reading from other sources that this isn't about the Windows Explorer settings. It was about the media storage rebuilding or refreshing.
Just like what @k23m responded, I have to clear media storage data and reboot the device to rebuild it.
When I plug my phone into my PC it offers me the option to expose the phone as a virtual CD ROM drive presumably mounting an ISO on the filesystem.

Think it'd be possible to change the ISO to mount windows 10 or linux live CDs?
edit: Seems the file mounted is /system/etc/PCTOOL.iso and seems like my PC would boot from it...
This is that the drivedroid app does, if that helps any

If you replace /system/etc/PCTOOL.ISO with another valid ISO file, that'll mount when you choose that option. This was done a long time ago on the EVO 4G LTE. The ISO was replaced with adb & fastboot tools and an automatic command prompt.
See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720559
I don't see why something like that can be done on the 10 as well.
P.S. At one point I even tried running Ubuntu from it, but that got crazy, lol
Drivedroid requires root, was more of a thought exercise to avoid rooting the device.
