Internal memory, which is 16Gb, if you check, isn't 16Gb, because a portion of it is reserved. Part is reserved as a space for the normal operating system and apps to store their cache/etc. Part is reserved as space to hold a compressed image of the original os/apps from which to recover from??

Sorry it took this long.
/system/etc/
Jeez! There's like 40 files in there, but there is a wifi folder and a wifi.conf file.
Wifi folder has like 50 files, and the wpa_supplicant.conf file.
This file comparison is not the way to go. What rom are you using? Can you reflash that?

Im on stock vzw rom.
msg on mobile

Have you considered flashing a new rom? It will replace any missing files or folders.
It isn't very hard to do, just a few people mess up the steps. Look in the development section and see if there are verizon roms, or verizon stock.
Otherwise, if you post your file list I will compare with mine, but that is a huge amount of work.

I have been considering on doing that but I haven't found any vzw stock roms, the only one I've seen around is the k-lean rom.
In essence if I have flash a stock rom I get everything back in place?
If you happen to see any vzw stock roms around please link me. I've searched around but they all seem to be down.

Bricked my Huawei U8800 Need HELP

Hello Guys,
I have a BIG problem.
I rooted my Huawei U8800 and installed Aurora for it.
Than I tried to update my CWM. After that nothing worked.
When I start my phone I get a BlueScreen. When I connect it to Windows 7 in PinkScreen nothing happens.
Ubuntu also doesnot recognize him. I tried 100 times to update the firmware but it always stops at 1/4 of the progress bar.
We tried many SD Cards and many computers.
Slowly I dispair....
Have someone an idea?!?
What can i do?!?!
Hope for Replys and Suggestions.
Thank U

I've seen this post before(not the chinese) and i buyed a 512 MB SD card but it did not work.
The progress bar stoped at 1/4 of it again.
Maybe I made something wrong but I could not download the file from mediafire.
It was something like a programm and I did not understand how to download the file from it.
Perhaps you know what to do?!

This is not the problem.
I can easily achieve the pink screen and my pc regonizes him, but if he tries to install the HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES drivers he fails.
So the programm also does not recognize the device.

Well, I can give some instractions but there is a issue.If emmc backup isn't from your specific device then you will lost wifi and IMEI.Because of that you must do as a last chance(...)
As I can understand your phone is in locked bootloader (pink screen) state additionally some file on it crash.
Its better flashing B512 has unlocked bootloader.Don't care if stops after 1 step or not.Just flash it and then go in pink screen.Then connect it On your windows os and copy paste pink screen files from your CWM backups.(unzip boot.fat.tar).
Afterwards pull out battery disconnect USB, reconnect battery and go to cwm (...)

Thank you for your fast reply.
So you think I should do this:
1. Flash B512 (If is stops of not unimportant)
2. Go connect in Pink Screen on Windows
3. Copy the files in the image foldner.
4. Pull out battery
5. Disconnect USB
6. Reconnect battery and go to CWM...
Ok I will try this but there is a little problem. I cant start my device without USB cable because the battery is empty and I cant charge it.
Anyway thanks

If you tried reinstalling it and it doesn't work still...
1. Try a stock reflash and try again.
2. If it still doesn't work, mail the developer and ask them.

1. Download Odin: https://mega.co.nz/#!QEZGhYza!xkxcPdNZJ7-vDRGM-7OQAw4j-PS8akVtIpnSct7-o04
2. Browse in http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and type in SM-N900, pick your region and download the file.
3. Put the file you downloaded from Sammobile into Odin's AP slot after making sure you put your phone in Download Mode (Power off your phone. Hold down power, volume down, home. Then click Volume down to continue.
4. Click Start.
This will bring you back to stock. If this doesn't work for your games, you will have to contact the developer.

I don't think it's a firmware related issue.
Did you download it from the store or some other sources?
If you got it from other sources, make sure your copied the obb file correctly to the obb directory.
Also please do have an active internet connection as games like this tend to check if the files you have are complete, at least once.

Need Christmas Miracle, Trying to Root Encrypted Note 3.0 to Recover Deleted Files

Hello,
Last week 16 Gb of photos and videos (the last 3 years of my life) suddenly disappeared with only the last 6 pics I took in the gallery app. Stupidly I did not back anything up. I realize that the data is still probably on the phone, however to get to this I need to root the phone. The phone is running 5.0 Lollipop and is encrypted because I had to instal mobile iron. for my job. I have tried Kingroot, Kingoroot and several other methods but keep failing. I have not decrypted the phone as I believe this will make the data inaccessible unless there is some way I can get the encryption key off the phone. Any advise of method to use to root or how to extract these files given the current state of the phone would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sean

Post a screenshot of file systems,DCIM especially and if using microsd to see where data went.Possibly root is not needed.
Where did the files went?
In case of root i suggest using ODIN software and flashing twrp.tar file. (just in case u havent tried that already).

I am not using a microSD
From what I have read the disappearing of photos and videos randomly occurs to some people on the Note 3 and the file data if not overwritten is still present. XDA wont post let me a post a link but there are several threads elsewhere on this issue.
XDA also wont let me attach photos until I have 10 posts. Ill see if I can bump this to do so.

Please don't bump multiple times. Bump once in 24hrs.
Have patience. XDA is a global forum so every member is with various time zones.

You must Odin back to 4.4.4 to root.
I would make sure those photos weren't backed up after all. If you just use google+ for example they are backed up by default.

OneDrive, Picasa, gmail, dropbox.
