picture album problem

Recently I had removed a great amount of pictures off of my phone via pc. But now when I goto the picture app I get no previews(thumb nails) I went in the folder labeled album thumbnails and deleted everything there also deleted the dcim contents and wiped my phione and I still can't get any previews. I'm usling jf 1.3 adp1 but this seems more a general question...

any idea how to restore the thumbnails or has anybody had this problem yet?

I had the same thing happen to me. I read somewhere on one of these threads that you need to reformat the memory card.
So backup all of the information on the memory card, reformat it, and then add everything back to the memory card.
It's a pain but not seeing the thumbnails really got on my nerves.
hope this works for you.

yeah that is the easiest or sure fix was trying to avoid having to dump 8gigs then recopy it. also i formated my card for the rc29 "root" restore i didnt pay attention does anybody know if there is issues regarding pics and apps when either or FAT table are in use?
Update: When i got home and was copying my SDcard contents to my hd an error popped up... "corrupt file" blah blah blah. and i was able to delete the corrupted image and vola everything is working correctly again. Wow One single corrupted image can cause it to error on every single thumbnail???? wheres the God *** error handling ???? lmao. On a side note I use Astro and I had one other corrupted backup (apk) and it caused Astros backup/restore to fail. Is there Any Error Handling in Android? Shouldnt they all just throw an exception behind the scenes and pass over?

how to get back my original rom data

well it's not much here, just before i did my first messing with rom change, i deleted some files from my original rom (friend stream, photo gallery, some themes...)
now i did a full wipe and install the stock rom again, i get back everything except the sample photos gallery, so basically there is something missing, is there a way to get everything back as original?
thank you

in another word, where are the default htc desire hd photo samples located on the device, is it on the internal or sd card?

again it's a simple question for those experienced, and yes i did a search, and no i couldnt find anything related to the subject, so plz can anyone at least with a non modified, rooted or sd formated device, check the sample photos folder and tell me where is it located, if it is on the internal memory or SD card?

Did not you get a full back up on the stock rom before you for another rom?

no dint, just full wipe, flash rom

The sample photos are on the sd card /mnt/sdcard/DCIM

[Q] Question on replacing SD Card

I have a lot of recoveries, and backups on my current SD card. I am going to replace it soon.
Before I do...Is it safe to assume you just do a huge copy, and paste it on the new SD card, then just insert in phone?
Can someone please provide some guidance?
Thanks a lot for any replies. I did a search as well, but only found for other phones, not sure if our MT4G has any quirks, that would make it different

Shouldn't be a problem. That's what I have been doing for years and nothing has screwed up.

same thing I do. just make backup copies onto your computer and when you get the new card, format it, then put the files on there. easy as that

Thanks guys!

Is it normal when copying/pasting, SD from Desktop to MT4G, that .data, and .img for backups cannot be transferred?
I cannot seem to transfer those two data types into my new SD. All I am copying is old Restores, that I know worked good, but that type of data won't seem to go over

Anyone have this happen? Is it normal? I am worried I don't have recoveries that will work

Confirmed, recoveries do not work, I get MD5 mismatch. How can I copy these back?
I did what was said as copying old SD files to Desktop, but on paste to new SD card, would not transfer some files.

I did this a couple of times ans had no problems you had with those two files. I suggest you reformat the card put the files in there again and upload a new rom. Flash clockwork recovery 3.0.0.6 then try to restore one of those nandroids.

Thanks for checking Lake, I will definitely try that! I hate the fact that I like so many ROMS that I switch back and forth every week. It's like a new phone every week! Minus the creaky buttons, ha!

uh oh, formatted card, now none of my backups will copy the .img or .data files. Oh geez
edit: quick format and format make a difference?
I did a quick, trying normal format now

flashed rom

i have flashed many roms on my android phone, and this last time i somehow lost several gigs of photos. so if you flash, don't just make a backup, make an actual copy of anything on your sd card you want to keep.
found that lost. dir folder had gotten pretty big, with unknown files in it, some over a gig. Google search led me to a thread on another forum suggesting z a recovery. seems to work a bit, i can recover some pictures but not all.

How do you change your internal folder location to SD card?

I'm guessing it's because of the latest firmware update, but I used to have all my folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, Download, Textra just to name a few) default save location to my SD card. I no longer can. Now, the only one I can get to go there is just my pictures. This made it easy for me when I needed to wipe phone and start fresh again. Does anyone know if I would need to Root my phone in order to override this and do it on my own? I have rooted in the past, but haven't in years due to the freedom we had. Any help or info would be great!
Thanks!
