I somehow lost the original media folder... and now when phone boots up I only hear the sound, I don't see the loading video... and also when taping on things there is no tap sound...
How can I get the original media folder back on to my phone?
Thanks.
EDIT: I tried factory format and didn't help.
Nobody has any ideas??
Would it work if someone gave me their media folder (in a zip) and I would copy it back on my phone?
Thanks.

There is a serious problem with flash player in all Desire HD, Desire Z, MyTouch 4G.
NOBODY PAYS ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM.. I posted this message 4 or 5 times. There is audio only in some video feeds such as www.foxnews.mobi, and in some TV apps such as SPB TV2. Is there any solution for this? I think the problem is the media streaming app.
The reason I switch to Android is flash, but the flash does not work. This is so sad.
Thank you.

Thank you so much, let's me give it a try
Hello,
Since this morning my phone doesn't see any media files. My sdcard is mounted and I can see all the files inside with a file manager. But when I open a media player it is telling me that there are no media files. Also in the ringtone menu I cannot see my custom ringtones which showed up fine until this morning. The same thing is happening in the gallery - no photos.
I tried restarting the phone - nothing happens. I have a program called rescan media, used it but still nothing. A have a nandroid backup from a week ago - I restored the backup, went into the default media player that comes with the stock rom, my albums were there, and then 2 minutes later i checked again - no music found. If I take a new picture with the camera and go to gallery I see only that new picture without my older ones, after a media rescan even this new photo disappears.

Check to see if you have a folder named ".nomedia" in your sdcard - this is used to control if a directory and it's subdirectories are visible in the media player.
Same for me,
Gallery dont found anything, but filemanager see everithing
I tried to change the SD, to un/reinstall gallery, update my CM7 rom, wipe cache but alwaysthe same problem...
When I use filemanager to open a picture, gallery load it in about 8seconds but cant see the other pics
Yes I had this .nomedia file in the root folder of my sdcard. I've read about this file and I know that it does that. But the most strange thing is I didn't create it It is dated from yesterday at 00:23. This has to be the work of some app.
Thank you for the help the problem is solved. And greetings from Bulgaria.
Unmount and mount again in the setting and hope it solve ur problem
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
thanks a lot
I un/re mounted SD in settings, and remouved the .nomedia file on sd root (don't know who created it....)
and my pictures are came back
thanks
Hello,
it's a little bit difficult to explain my problem. it started few days ago when my 7.7 didn't turn on.
Then i read about the trick to press the power button longer than 10 seconds and it really worked. First I was glad but then i found out, that my picture gallery and my mp3 player was empty!
First I thought that everything was deleted, but that wasn't true. The files are still there. In fact it seems that the system has changed the "/sdcard" area to "/root". So the apps can't find the files.
I uploaded a file where you can see what i mean. On my Smartphone is also a "/sdcard" instead of the "root".
My 7.7 is rooted, no other modifications have been made...
Who can help me to solve this problem without doing a reset to factory setting..
That's just how the stock file browser shows it, it's not actually mounted at /root.
If the gallery and music player are empty you could try giving it a little time for the media scanner to add your media. If it doesn't show up, then wipe the data of the media storage app and restart your tab. You may have to restart it again after it has built its database to get everything working properly.
i wiped the data, didn't work
what if the internal storage is really mounted as /root now? what can i do to change it?
because the empty gallery and mp3player aren't the only problems now. if i take a picture, i cannot use the preview to look at it. it says "no elements" then. so i think its a problem more deep in the system...
i really dont understand how this could happen, i just turned the tab on..
If you have ES File Explorer, it should show that same "root" folder as actually being the internal "sdcard" folder. I don't think it has anything to do with actually being rooted, it is just how the built in File Manager lists the folder.
Another option, perhaps Fix Permissions in Recovery may fix your issues.
can i find a tutorial to fix permission in recovery mode?
I have a trouble adding a new folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard. The device doesn't show these ringtones in system ringtone chooser whatever I do. However, on older firmwares I didn't have any problems with this, the device showed these ringtones right after I restarted the phone. Recently I full wiped and flashed MEA stock rom from the scratch, and now I can't make the device show my custom ringtones in the system menu. Adding the ringtones to System/media/audio/ringtones folder works, but I would like to have a separate folder with custom ringtones on the sdcard, so that I don't have to put them in system ringtones folder after each rom change.
Does anybody has a solution to this?

Hi,
Try Media Scanner
Media scanner didn't help. The system does see the files if i want to add them manually one by one. But the files won't appear in the menu automatically as they used to do before.

Im new here but I read somewhere that a .nomedia file may me stored in a folder and mediascanner for images,music,video will skip this folder. View hidden files and folders in your folder browser so you can see dot files and see if this file is in the ringtones folder. if yes then delete it.
Edit
Try putting a "ringtones" folder in sd card and put your ringtones in there. Then try to see if it shows up.
The previous answer was almost correct.
In your SD Card create a folder with the name "media", inside create 3 folders: "Notifications", "Ringtones" and "Alarms". By doing that your device automatically will recognize every file an list it in the right place.
Actually, I have all those folders on the sdcard. As I said, just before flashing mea Rom with full wipe, these folders were recognized and the all my ringtones were in system sound selection menu. But after flashing, whatever I do, I can't make them appear there. I only have to add them manually one by one. I think there is something changed in mea update that doesn't let you add new ringtones. However, the hangouts app created ringtones folder and two files are there and the are in the system sound selection menu. But if I add couple of my ringtones to that folder
, they don't show up after restarting the phone. The same ringtones, when put into the system/media/audio/ringtones folder using root explorer, appear in the system with no issue.
So as said, there might be some change since Mea Rom that is not letting adding new ringtones.
What do you think?

Seems very hectic for you buddy.
try this if possible.
Go to Setting-> applications-> All-> Search for Media storage-> Clear the data & Stop it (force Close). Again start this service.
Reboot the device in Recovery ( If you are rooted) then clear only dalvik cache.
Now, it will take 15 min to scan your device media.
Remember, your all Ringtones setting will be lost in this case.
Man, thanks a lot! This really worked and none of the audio settings were lost.
I am just curious, why this could happen? Maybe it's because I restored my system from Titanium backup, and media storage was there. In Mea rom there might be some changes to media storage so there was some conflict. Is it right?

Actually some of the settings were lost, like alarm etc. But not a big deal, thanks man

Samsung Doesn't use a standard bootanimation file or zip, rather it has it in parts,look in the media folder for anything that ends with .qmg.

Yea I know how the boot animation files work on Samsung, I used to edit them all the time on the s3 but they've been moved on the note 3 to somewhere I can't find, I checked the usual places like the media folder and done a search but I can't locate the files. Thanks for trying though.

Yes as can I but not the boot animation the Samsung boot in the media folder once replaced has no effect and I have the omega boot animation running yet it's not in the media folder so where is it running from? This is what I mean I can't find the folder they run from I know some are in the media folder but when I replace them in the media folder it has no affect on the boot and the custom boot is not in the media folder it's doing my head in, I'll work it out on my own eventually, I was just hoping someone had the same issue and solved it.
