Do you know the name of the partition? The option is still there but nothing new pops up in gallery, however I can add a new private picture and have it show/disappear on command. And i was so excited in getting the lollipop OTA, i skipped some of the regular prep list before upgrading out of sheer excitement :crying:
So they're still here, just not accessible through gallery. Should I unprivate or zip them? There aren't really any other available options than that

I'm not sure but you should try to unprivate them to see if you can retrieve them and re private them in gallery

Unprivating them through the stock file manager didnt change them back to their original form, just literally moved the encrypted (i assume thats how it works) files from the protected private partition to the unprotected partition of the sd card, without unencrypting them. So still no better off than i was before. A reboot didnt work either.:crying:

Well sorry for the loss tho good to kno if I update...
It's just a idea, but you can try to put them on your sd card, use Odin downgrade back to 4.4.4 then put them in private an try to unprivate them and see if it works but it's a long shot...
plus would take alot of time, maybe there is a app on the play store?

Yes it's possible there is a post 5.0.1 back to 4.4.4 in the general threads
But you'd lose everything it's factory reset, which is y you'd have to back up everything on sd card
And y I say it may not b worth it since, I can't say it would work... Just a idea... Next idea is mayb app on Google play

Damn, the same thing just happened to me. When I activate Private Mode, I can see it mount files under /storage/Private but they are renamed and look to be encrypted. How did this get past any kind of testing???
I tried activating KNOX to see if that helped. Doesn't look like it did. I can see why Sammy decided to disable it by default...runs much smoother.
However, unfortunate for all those private photos seemingly lost.
Searching around I found Galaxy S5 users that complained of this same thing happening when they went to Lollipop. So it looks like this was a known issue! But they have no solution either that I could find.
Does Android have a history of listening to user complaints and coming out with a fix in the near future?
Some way to unencrypt them..
Same thing happened to me. Had anyone had luck downgrading and unencrypting that way? Can we report the issue to samsung? I lost a ton of important info for my job.
I have the same problem.
I was talking to samsung support via twitter. They said that in the next FOTA it will import the previous encrypted files...

Does the Tacoroot method described here erase all your data (apps, texts, call log, etc)? I've done some searching but haven't found a definitive answer.
Thanks!
Yes because it downgrades your ota version

Copy that, just wanted to make sure. Was going to do it for a co-worker but they don't want to lose all their data. Can't have your cake and eat it too There's not really a sure way to tell if the Google automatic backup thing will restore apps and data when I get the phone working again is there? Just losing texts and call log is not a big deal.

Not sure if go backup can do data, thought you had to have root for that. Contacts will be saved if they are synced with Google, if not there are apps for it, messages can be backed up, really all you're losing is app data. If you do want to try out a different root method that won't wipe your data, shoot me a PM and I'll hook you up tomorrow morning, it hasn't been tested yet.

If their data is worth 6 bucks, I am pretty sure titanium pro can backup data on unrooted phones now, but can only restore to rooted. You'd have to go look into it more for the details.

Hi there,
I am new to the forums but am wondering if anyone could help me in recovering recorded videos/photos.
My mom recently passed away from cancer and these video files are extremely important to me as it was her last words to me. Before unlocking and rooting my phone, I created a full backup through the Nexus Root toolkit program. However, in restoring the files, it only pushed back a fraction of the files I had on my phone.
Is there any way of restoring all my files or even just the photos and videos? I am completely distraught and I have tried all the data recovery programs for android but unfortunately none of the applications work as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus cannot mount an SD card.
If anyone could provide any input, it would be much appreciated.
My direct contact is: [email protected]
With sincerest regards,
Richard

That's rough. By chance did you have auto upload turned on? If so they should be present on your google account.
Do you still have the backup from the nexus toolkit? Can you explore it for the DCIM directory?

Hello im working on a MIUI rom for this phone. I ported my MIUI rom from the sprint galaxy s3 and need someone to test it. The rom is based on CM10. I dont have this device so its up to you guys to test it. What im looking for is does it boot and do all the core functions work(aosp wise) and if LTE works please report back when you can
http://d-h.st/hHx
also have to include this Disclaimer: Im not responsible for bricked devices or damaged phones. You made the choice to test this and you knew the risks
I went ahead and tried it. I used TWRP. Systemui crashed for me as well as the keyboard. I couldn't check signal bars due to this. Calling does work though. I didn't check everything but thought it was a start. I was able to nandroid back to a backup without issue.
Quick edit: I don't have LTE to check so I didn't check that.

Yeah I was going to tell you to go check what was the last thing you installed last? That might b causing the problem your having! Fyi
Most of those battery app's are junk and don't really help you! That's why I learned with my Skyrocket, not to use unnecessary app's. I've tried everything with that phone. And over time you'll see what is good and what is junk!
So NOW if you want to clear out the audio setting!
Then go into setting, applications, All, setting, clear data, reboot into recovery and then wipe cache & dalvik and see if it's still happening. After you set up your audio sounds! Might b something that was, corrupt in the data causing it!

Clearing out your setting data, you don't need to b rooted to do that FYI.
And another thing if it's a real problem for you then do a FDR [factory data reset] and you should b good to go then.

Hey, I found out the issue to this problem.. Not sure if it can be posted somewhere as "Fixed"...or maybe I should start another post with the original post inside it for reference??
I had my Ringtones/Notification sounds I downloaded from the web or created on my SD Memory card. I was using the sounds from there and not the device. I have now copied and pasted them into the Ringtone and Notification folders on my Device itself and they stay.
To test this, I used 2 different Google e-mail accounts and set 1 Ringtone/Notification sound from my Device and the other Gmail account to a Ringtone/Notification sound from my SD memory card. The one from my memory card kept changing to a 5 Digit number. The other one didn't..
I hope this helps others????
Was this a problem on the first Note tablet? As I get to installing a lot of apps, over 500 is what I have, I've found that the tablet is going through an infinite boot loop. I'm talking to a Samsung rep online now about it. I've tried taking out the sd card, putting it back it, etc. It appears that some are going through this too with the Galaxy Note 3.

Updating my status. Through my own research, instead of trying to install all 500 at once, I've taken a more modest approach. I'm installing apps 4 at a time, letting it finish, powering down, then starting back up. It's working. I can get to my home screen without problem now. Maybe 500+ apps was too much of a strain for the file system to endure.

it would be pretty stupid if that's the case. it would seem a bug if anything, and serious for some. installing that 500th (or whatever the breaking point would be) at the wrong time could be disastrous.
perhaps we'll her more about it this weekend when the rest of us start getting ours. only i don't really have 500 apps that i want installed, lol.

500 is a big number for most people. i know some people who barely have 10 apps downloaded. i've got quite a bit but definitely not 500...
Yes I would agree with that as well, I don't know that I would have a advocate having 500 applications I think I may have 30 or 40 at the most

I have a ton of games. When I went to my Google Play for the first time, it was like it was raining apps. :laugh:

Please keep in mind that some apps my not be fully compatible with android 4.3 yet.
Mine goes through the Samsung animation 5 times... I'm not sure at what point started doing that. I have around 100 apps and I feel very lazy to reset it and install a few apps at the time to see if that fixes the problem... Anyway I wonder what the apps have to do with the booting?
For reference I'm using: Nova Launcher, Swiftkey and not rooted yet.
Maybe a future update will fix this....?

Nope... I just formated the card and the Samsung animation still loops 4-5 times...

The question really is... Is that really a problem? Defective unit? Or an Android/Samsung software issue? Because it boots up anyway and works with no apparent problems... Is everyone else going through a similar/same issue?

Was this a problem on the first Note tablet? As I get to installing a lot of apps, over 500 is what I have, I've found that the tablet is going through an infinite boot loop. I'm talking to a Samsung rep online now about it. I've tried taking out the sd card, putting it back it, etc. It appears that some are going through this too with the Galaxy Note 3.

DO NOT do this!! I did this on my own note 10.1 2014 after a bootlooping issue caused by corrupt files on my sd card (or so Ive theorized), and after doing so, my software showed as CUSTOM in the settings, and would not let me access the update servers. It was only after restoring the firmware via kies (a long and involved process, though less than odin, which probably would work too) that I was able to get it back to "Official". So unless you want to go through what I did, DO NOT factory reset via recovery. Id recommend doing everything else possible to fix this first.

That means there is no twrp for it yet. And there are loads of universal rooting programs, and you can always do it over odin
