[Q] unable to locate /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/ directory - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everyone
so my phone is not registering its IMEI I don't know why, I suspect its because I was tinkering around with my phone whilst trying to root it. so i've been searching the internet for last couple of days and I found the solution. By using some imei.exe executable I was able to create a new IMEI file using the IMEI number from the box of my phone. now that I have the new MP0B_001 file, I need to paste this into the directory:
/data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/MP0B_001
I used programs like ES File Explorer and Root Explorer however I am not able to find any directory past the data folder.
Can somebody help me? What am I doing wrong, why am I not able to get to this path...
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated

File explorer stuck

Hi ppl i recently installed some custom icons and i have just relised that my file explorer is stuck when i go into the windows directory. I can no longer access file explorer even after reseting the phone.
Has anyone had this problem and how do u solve it?
thanks for the help

Need help with understanding mount-points, folder structure and file system rights...

Hi everyone,
I need your help. I sometimes face strange issues with my Nexus 4 (Stock Room, Rooted, Matrix Kernel v5). Yesterday I wanted to copy a apk-file for installation on my phone from my home-server. I use ES File Explorer for that. I failed to copy the apk-file to /sdcard/folder-name (operation failed). then i navigated to /data/media/0/folder-name and tried it from there, also it didn't work.
i then copied the file to /sdcard/download and was able to copy it to that and to install it.
i don't really understand why it behaves that way, i was always able to go to /sdcard/folder-name and do what i want. i also noticed another strange thing. i connected my phone via USB (MTP-mode) to the PC and uploaded a few GB of MP3s to it (Folder: Music).
when browsing this folder with ES File Explorer, I cannot delete anything from that folder /sdcard/Music. THOUGH it reports "deletion successful" the files or folders do not get deleted but just remain on the internal SD-card. i could only delete the music successfully via "/data/media/0/Music".
who can explain briefly WTF is going on? i obviously do not really understand the concept and logic behind this. is there a maximum file/path length that must not be exceeded?
thanks in advance and best regards,
hallu
need to bump this, sorry...
does anyone have any idea as to why this phone is behaving the way it is?
I use root explorer and have ZERO issues. That includes pulling apk's.
Try a different file explorer to see if that makes a difference so at least you can determine if the issue is just app specific and not something else.
Check to see of ES isn't mounting certain folders with RW permissions.
Also the actual internal storage is /data/media/0/ so /sdcard/ is just a symlink to that folder. ES seems to be having problems with the symlinks.

[Q] I can no longer access the ringtones on my S4

I don't know how it happened, but it appears that I have somehow changed the path that contains the ringtones. I was looking for them out of curiosity. Now, whenever I try to bring up ringtones, I get a directory listing of /storage/emulated/0. I can probably reset it properly, but I don't know they actually reside. I don't have root access, and I'm afraid that may be a problem in resetting the path. I'm thinking that's why a search with ES File Explorer can't find them, (or maybe I'm not searching for the correct extension). Can anyone offer any guidance?
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Regards,
pb
Can't help you without root access. The correct path is:
/system/media/audio/ringtones
Edit* In doing some looking. Were you trying to add more ringtones? The folder you gave seems to be the downloads folder. Ringtones you add maybe be in another folder. For example it could be ...../emulated/ringtones
Another example would be any folder in your usable internal storage will come after the emulated/

Missing folders in android/data...is something wrong with my phone?

I'm trying to access my Final Fantasy IV data folder to backup my save folder, but I can't seem to find the folder even though I already researched the specific directory. How do I access the "hidden" directory? I am using root access explorers set to show hidden files but that doesn't help.
Here is a link that shows the specific directory to backup the save file (read the second comment).

nvram folder is missing

hi there! i was trying to restore the imei on my s7 edge and i found a way by editing the mp0b_001 file, the path being: /data/nvram/md/NVRAM/NVD_IMEI/mp0b_001, but no matter where i searched i couldnt see it, like it disappeared totally. does anyone know how can i find it it? or maybe it is in another directory?(the phone is rooted and the file manager has su)
Try folder :
root/efs/imei/ <--
no, it isnt there either
