[Q] What's with all these mnt_1, data_1, data_2, data_3 - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Have been using exclusively mrRobinson's method (ODIN + pre-rooted images) ever since I got my S3. Have not paid close attention until recently, when I noticed the many empty folders with the _x (x = 1, 2, 3, etc...). Any idea if I could just get rid of them?
And a related question: if I would like to start "clean" with the next new image mrRobinson may release any time now, knowing that I have all my data backed up, what would be the best way to go after it? Wipe data/factory reset, prior to ODIN-ing the new? Else?
TIA

Those were in there even with the stock rom. I have no clue what they are for.

I wonder if I can just blow them up ...

Make a backup and see. I don't really mess around with folders I don't know about. They could be places to store temporary files or something.

Since some days I have this mnt_ directory on my S4 (Android 4.3). It came up with problems of directories in Locus - map software.
They can not be deleted or changed.
How can I get rid of them ???

You dont.
They are obviously vital to the system if they keep getting rebuilt. Like I said, likely just directories for temporary file storage.

Jelly Bean "Misc" Storage Settings Bug?

I flashed Bigxie's OTA JRO03C deodexed rom onto my Galaxy Nexus recently, as well as Team Eos 3 Jelly Bean Nightlies on my Xoom, and just noticed an odd bug today on both of them:
When I go into Settings --> Storage, I see all 5 categories calculating their size, and the used space on my internal storage showing as a large white / light grey box. See the first pic gnex_calculating. Once they are done calculating, the "Misc." category disappears completely, and only four coloured segments show for the four categories remaining. However, the total size appears to have shrunken significantly, but the Available space remains the same. See the second pic gnex_done.
The only conclusion that I have is that the "Misc" category doesn't show up, even though there is space "allocated" to it. On other words, it is just missing from the chart and list. I see the exact same behaviour on my Xoom. See the pics xoom_calculating and xoom_done, and compare the categories and the total bar size.
I feel like this shouldn't be happening, and I don't remember it happening with ICS. So, here's my question: Is this a bug? Or is this supposed to happen? If this is a bug, should I report it at http://source.android.com/source/report-bugs.html, because I searched the list and couldn't find anything similar. Is anyone else seeing this behaviour, or is it just me?
Mike.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I have some files on my internal sdcard that's causing a bug to manifest. Perhaps I'll start temporarily removing files to see if I can pinpoint it.

Thanks for the info! I don't think it's something specific to Bigxie's rom, because it's also happening to my Xoom. So I think it's either a Jelly Bean bug, or a specific app that is creating a conflict somewhere in the OS, which would lead back to Jelly Bean anyways.

What I am using is a official upgrade of JB on Galaxy Nexus.
Could some one tell me why and how to solve this?
I had downloaded a manga reader and 2 gigs of mangas. I uninstalled the reader, and then I started noticing what you described. I had to hook up my phone to the computer and delete all the manga PDFs. Which I couldn't see on the file browser with my phone.
I'm seeing this too.
Could this be linked to the fact that ClockworkMod has this crazy new backup format that creates a folder full of 6000 or so "blob" files? I think Android becomes very unhappy with too many little files in one folder.
didn't this just mean you have no files in the categoriy "misc" on your device atm?

No. Misc refers to all files that are on internal storage which don't already fall into those categories. I have several gigs that should count as such.

It's not the CWM backups, because it was happening when I was on TWRP, and its also happening on my XOOM which uses a CWM based recovery. It has nothing to do with recovery.

Moreover I'm still using the old CWM and it's doing it to me too.
They did change the mountpoint for the 'sdcard' (user data) in JB. Various people have had trouble with apps loosing data, which hasn't happened to me, but maybe this is another symptom of it?
I've not installed much user data, and only one small docx since moving to JB, so I doubt it's a whole lot of lost items in my case.
I guess when the ultra-official Google stock images come out we'll have to re-evaluate based on whether the bug is present there.
I've got another thread on XDA for the same issue (link). It seems to me that it's definitely a JB issue. I have the same problem on both my devices. Gnex with Stock 4.1.1 (rooted with CWM) and my TF101 Transformer with CM10 preview (CWM variant). I haven't lost any files, but my storage is way down (8-10 GB on each device).
It's definitely not just large files. It also takes a long time (30-60 seconds) to finish calculating the space for both devices.
I've had this issue on every version of JB I've tried.
I think it has to do with the file system. the "misc" folder that should count also tend not to appear when connected to a computer via MTP.

I don't think it's a Misc folder. Android is identifying the files based on type Misc not showing up is the problem. I actually did some deep searching using File Manager and found the culprit on my GNex. My CWM Backups (which would be classified as Misc.) needed to be cleaned up. Now I just need to comb through on my TF101.
I'm having the exact same issue as well, same ROM. I hope a fix is around the corner somewhere.

Hands free activation with everey reboot

Can someone help me with this? I found that if you remove sprintandroidextension.apk it goes away but it didnt. I also found that by removing SprintOMADMConnMOPlugin.apk it goes away, but i cant find it on my Galaxy note 2. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
If you let it go all the way through HFA once it won't return. Since you removed sprintandroidextension.apk I'm not sure it will succeed now. Try re-adding that first.
Under system/app, look for Sprintdm. Apk ///// change it to Sprintdm. Bak

I would have thought so too. As I've been advised by other as well. But...
I have, at least five times, run a return to stock, both through ODIN and OneClicks.
I still have the issue. Baffles the mind. Makes little sense. But there it is. And I'm not the only one.
(Just so it's noted, and before you accuse me otherwise, I am not new at this, and I follow directions fastidiously. I've never once had a problem that I didn't cause myself, and I've always been able to fix them by further reading/researching.)
Just for SnG's I'll quote myself and others from a few other posts in other threads:

Just my 2 cents, my experience with this error.
I'm getting the Chameleon FC, and the persistent HandsFree Activation on every reboot. All started when I lost wifi on the LK8 update zip (I was rooted, thanks to Voodoo OTA rootkeep), and tried to get back to LJC...
And this morning, I tried the following:
Installed TWRP with GooManage, restored a nandroid from my orig rooting using the toolkit, no luck, same two errors.
So then I OneClicked the Full Restore (SPH-L900_LJC_Stock_Restore.exe), and wtf, still there.
As I mentioned in my quote, it (the Note2) works, not broken, but I find the persistent error worrisome.
I am open to criticism, suggestions, whatever. What am I missing?

I'm having similar issues, I was on the release before LK8, then updated to LK8 but wanted to start over again.
Once i downgraded to LJ1? the hands free bug kept popping up every reboot, until I moved onto to LJC then LK8 update file which is fine.
I'm trying to figure out myself how to go back to the original firmware (pre any updates) without the issues... /subscribed.
Wonder if this is tied into it somehow...
I dunno, my head is exploding reading all these posts, replies.... 5 different versions of restore.

I have tried the one click restores back to ljc and the original tar, and I still have the hands free activation issue and the chameleon error. And when I update to lk8 I get no wifi. I have tried returning to stock about 4 times and then updated to lk8 with the same results. I always go back to ljc bc I need wifi.

interestingly, even using a stock oneclick full restore (and even using a TAR in Odin), still have the handsfree repetition and chameleon FCs. (lol, I'm not complaining really, it's early in the dev life for this device I suppose. )
Also, I've been reading that re-flashing the LK8 update.zip (via sxtp?) while it seems to fix the HFA and ChameleonFC, it kills the wifi? (it killed my wifi after aprox 2 days use, when I orig updated...)

So I ended up returning my phone to Sprint, the swapped it out pretty easy, let them see the issue and error, they said "yeah, that ain't normal", got me a new one.
kingdazy said:
it would seem that the factors that all of us with this issue have in common are: a) rooting w/ ToolKit ver2 b) flashing LK8 update zip c) trying to return to stock LJC/LJ1 because of a wifi problem... please chime in if you have the issue, but not one of those factors?
After everything, I just returned to stock LJC w/ Flash Counter @ 0 (no) w/ the errors still present, took it into Sprint store said, 'hey guys, this is weird, i've got a persistent error, won't go away after resetting my phone." (IE, acted dumb enough to not have rooted/flashed unofficial shtuff/etc, but smart enough to know that it's a real issue), they looked at it, asked a few obvious questions, replaced it, because obviously something was wrong in a permanent way. I want to a corp store, not a "repair center". I think it was a good thing that these guys were not super techie.
I told them as little as possible, that I had a "wifi issue after an update, tried full reset (through the android settings menu, of course), and the problem didn't go away, no matter what". Once they heard that I had done a full factory reset, and saw the problem/error happen, it was a no-brainer to swap out.
I'll be avoiding the LK8 leak for now, and frankly gun-shy about the toolkit.

I had someone ask how I got it back to stock unrooted w/ no flash count, and while that might be abvois to some, just in case someone doesn;t want to hunt around, or ask this is what I did, with links:
kingdazy said:
ok, to get back to stock, first use this OneClick to get to Stock+Root, it will wipe ALL internal memory except SD card:

Instructions are here:
http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showt...-TAR-SPH-L900-LJC-(LJC-Modem-Kernel-ROM-Stock)
then use TriangleAway, this will set your counter at 0 (reads as "no" in download mode). it should also say "Official" And "Samsung Official"
Then, if you want to get Total Stock unrooted, for returns to Sprint, or any other reason, use Odin (not mobile) to flash this:

Instructions for flashing that are here:

Good luck to the people with this error, I feel for you, very frustrating. I am hoping that Samsung releases an official OTA soon similar to LK8, that you will be able to flash that will fix the error and the wifi.
And I hope the devs are reading these posts (even if they are not responding), are at least looking into it.
I know we have the attentions of garwynn, he's made the SxTp team at least aware that there might be an issue.

First, Odin flash CWM on the new phone. Make sure both phones have the same recovery. Make a nandroid backup on your old phone, be sure you save it to your external! Take out old SD card and place it on your new phone. Restore that nandroid on your new phone, your good!!

No, if you mean like settings and stuff you will have to re-imput those. You will also have to root the new phone, which doesn't take much longer than 10 min.

Updated to 4.3 and now I lost hundreds of pictures and videos from gallery

I updated it on 12/09/2013 and I can only see pictures back until that point and not before! I noticed it too late..
Man I tried every thing I could. ****, I downloaded the entire internal memory and converted it to VHD so I could run Recuva but still most of the recovered files are in huge zips and cant open them with any 7zip/winrar type of software. I downloaded other picture apps and they dont see it either. The SD card has it's stuff still there so thats not a problem.
I have been told its because the first roll out of 4.3 was bad and some people had issues. I want to able to downgrade to 4.1.1 but for some reason most of the methods out there are for people who have a non-stock 4.3 OS and not the OTA update.
Can anyone help me? I really want those pictures/videos back!
So, how can I go back to 4.1.1? It might be my last chance to get it right. I have Clockwork recovery and tried to put on the stock tmobile OS but it always fails via Odin and Rom manager. Phone still works. please help!

I tried everything. I do believe it's gone at this point. I recovered a few pictures that were half cut off with a professional recovery sw. Freaking terrible. Lost so much stuff. Never again I suppose :/

Take a quick look in data/media/0 or data/media/legacy
Easy way to tell instead of looking thru all your folders.
Is the space still taken? If yes, then it's there somewhere, if not, then they are most probably done for.

[REQ]HTC preloaded stuff

Hey guys, i just got a used M8 and the previous owner hard reset it before giving it to me..
So i lost everything from the internal sd, could someone upload a back up for me?
I'm looking mostly for the items in the following folders:
.data
.showme
DCIM
Download
Music
and the root of the sd..
Thanks in advance for any help!
Of course the previous owner deleted everything , but you lost it.....that's kinda weird because what is your stuff doing on another person's phone ! What you expect ?
If an app needs it's folder it will create it. Not sure what your problem is ?
I didn't had my stuff on the phone. I wrote that i want back the stock stuff that htc put's in storage, like stock photos, music etc..
Anyone?

Had this happen, as I factory resetted (from bootloader) because I was having random reboots. Wasn't expecting to lose all the preloaded media, to be honest I usually weed out any unwanted stuff anyway, but though that surely that stuff should survive a factory reset. Thankfully, after updating firmware the reboots appear to have gone.
Below is a thread for restoring T-Mobile preload I found, as I have the international model I wouldnt be using this but was going to have a look at the compressed archive to see if anything can be extracted.

This archive only has some apk's and some png's for the camera effects. I already have those since i'm using a custom rom.
I just want to get back the preloaded pictures, music etc..

Ah, no use then. I just tweeted HTC UK to see what they say, worth a shot as I can't find these things anywhere else. I'll let you know what they say.:fingers-crossed:

HTC's response at the link below. I hadnt backed anything up as I thought this stuff was 'built-in' and store internally and so wouldnt be affected. I hadn't really set the phone up properly, which is also why I didnt try to back up anything. So unless someone who is possibly rooted can extract the files there doesnt seem to be any other way of getting them.
