oh..thanks .....and there is nothing free ?
EDITk i bought resco explorer...but i can't use the recycle bin: I deleted a file ...but the recycle bin it's empty...what's wrong ?

Using resco explorer go to menu-->options-->general. Go to the files tab and make sure all prompts are checked. Also go to menu-->options-->add-ins-->recycle bin and make sure 'Do not move files to recycle bin' is unchecked. When deleting files you should get a pop up that asks you if you'd like to send your deleted files to the recycle bin or just delete them entirely.

Thank you so much man

If you want to see deleted files in Resco Explorer then it should had been installed before deleting the files
Currently there is no way to recover those deleted files (unless if deleted from the system or ROM) which in case can be recovered simply by soft reset
Moving this thread to Q&A section where you will surely get better directions

I'm curious....I thought you couldn't delete anything off of the rom. Isn't it restricted in that domain? I know of a lotta things I'd like to be able to change, modify or delete from my windows directory. I already know of trying to access the files from activesync....doesn't work though. Is there another way?

Hi there.
is there a 'recycle bin' on the X1?
reason is I deleted a small video i was looking to upload.
so do we have a 'recycle bin' type thing, or has it gone forever?
thanks in advance
edit> if I do not have Resco Explorer installed, there is no way of recovering this video?

If you delete files from the device's storage you can't get them back unless they appear in the recycle bin.
if you delete them from the storage card, you can restore them/some of them using ActiveRecovery (for instance).
if you deleted something accidently, DO NOT copy ANYTHING else to your storage card.
take the card out, put it in your comp, and use ActiveRecovery to recover the sectors.

thanks very much mate

How to delete files from StartUp folder?

Hi,
I accidentally put actual file instead of lnk into StartUp folder on WM 6.1. Now I can not delete the file becouse it's already launched and it's not even showing in list of running programs. How do I get rid of it in StartUp folder?
Thanks,
G
it might be running in the background. try using a task manager kinda program to see running processes (e.g. wktask) and you should be able to kill it and then delete it
or rename it from somethingsomething.exe to somethingsomething.exe.bak
and softreset
Or you can usually cut the link or file in startup and then paste it somewhere else. Reset, then you can delete it.
not if it's not a shortcut but he places the exe file itself in startup in this case it will be locked and cant be cut
Can you rename the file to something not ".exe" and then reset the phone? Would it work? I've read somewhere around here someone suggesting that. After soft reset, in theory, you should be able to delete the file.

Lost contacts

Hi
I made the silly mistake of not backing up my contacts before updating ROM ( i know... very stupid)
I copied the entire device to computer prior to updating but for some reason, it didnt copy the windows folder from the PDA.
I'm guessing the contacts would have been stored somewhere in the windows folder. I was running WM6.
Have i lost the contacts...? or are they stored in a different location which would have been backed up ?
Thanks
what exactly did you copy?
the following directories and files
Application data
ConnMgr (empty)
Documents and Settings (empty)
Music
My Documents
Program Files
Pim.vol
WMPinfo
Thanks
as far as i know, if i am not wrong, the pim.vol is the one that contain your pim data especially contacts,.
but, you cant just changed it, or replace it, if i am not wrong you need to use mortscript to do that with force deleting the original one and replacing with the new one,.
i will try to look into it, just keep all your data that you have backed up,.
Thank you !
I really appreciate it.
Not yet solved
Note to admin
this topic has not yet been resolved. I simply said thank you to -G- for saying he will look into it.
Thanks
tag removed
yup... pim.vol can't just be copied inside the root to be read.. it is somehow attached to your system.
BUT, if i'm not mistaken, you can use PIM Backup to load the info from the file.
try it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
btw.. i think SPB Backup can read pim.vol as well.
heyy
nope didnt work. i tried both PIM Backup and SPB Backup but neither of them accept the pim.vol as a valid file to restore from.
Actually, you should be able to just do a copy and paste of this file wherever you got it from. Try to use File Explorer (might not work). The option that works best for me with System locked files is via ActiveSync. If it doesn't work, try soft resetting and replace the file right away before the system gets a chance to access the file. Give it a shot, it might just solve your problem.
Alternatively, read this. It pretty much says the same thing that has been said so far...

Good luck to you
strange. i'll get back to you on this..
Im confused.
so will it work to just replace the pim file like egzthunder1 suggested ? Or is that going to mess up contacts completely ?
Go there.. use the emulator.. and get your contacts back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309351
also, please DO try to just put the pim.vol file in your root dir of your device to see if it's movable.. so other people could use that info.

Find Bluestacks SD Card Location in Your PC

Q. Whats Bluestacks?
A. Bluestacks is a Silicon Valley-based software company that produces BlueStacks App Player and BlueStacks Cloud Connect. Both products revolve around enabling Android applications to run on Windows PCs, Macintosh computers and Windows tablets. The company was founded in 2009 by Rosen Sharma, former CTO at McAfee and board member of Cloud.com.
Steps To Find SD Card in your PC
First Download 'Root Explorer' (Included Below) and Install 'Root Explorer' in Bluestacks
Decide on which directory to give access in BlueStacks. You can either choose an entire hard drive, or a particular folder of your choice.
Access the Windows Registry by going to Start >> Run and type in 'regedit' and hit Enter. This opens up the Registry Editor.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ SharedFolder\0.
Right Click on 'Path' and click on 'Modify'.
Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card. (Example C:\SDCard)
Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
You can find the folder at '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/'
Note
If u don't wanna change your Registry, You can simply copy and paste the file's that you want in SD Card at 'C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\' and find the files at above location in Root Explorer (ie '(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/ BstSharedFolder/').

Open Root Explorer and go to one of the following location.
(Root)/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
(Root)/mnt/sdcard/bstfolder/BstSharedFolder/
If it still not working then reply with the screen shot of root explorer (in /bstfolder)
"Write the path of the folder which you want to include in SD card"
What do you mean?
Anyways... I wanted to find and open the obb folder. How?

I want to install game data. What to do?
I have installed root explorer & running latest blue stack. Installed yesterday only.
****************************************************
UPDATE : Let it bro. I change the registry & that solved the problem.
Actually i dont want to do that. But, couldn't wait to play games....
you guys should really read more than write. Just like OP said if you dont want to modify registry then just goto
C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\UserData\SharedFolder\
and paste your file there
Shared Folder problam
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\ Shared Folder\0

YEAH! Finally found it again! Thanks mate
Has anyone noticed that this shared folder has limited functionality when trying to transfer files from Bluestacks to the PC? It seems like if I try to copy something larger than ~300 megabytes Bluestacks will freeze up. Titanium backup is also unable to successfully use that shared folder as a backup location (also freezes up). I'm trying to find a good way to sync my app data (or at least transfer the Titanium Backup backups to my PC). Any ideas?
How to copy file from window to Bluestack or Bluestack to window
1) download and intall root explorer on your phone
2) go from your computer
3) My Documents/Downloads and paste there any files
4) now open root explorer n go to this path: sdcard/windows/documents/downloads
5) you will find your file under "Downloads"
so the folder "Downloads" is the only path through which files can be transferred between window(computer) and bluestack..
i cant find the iserdata folder in c:/programefiles/bluestacks

[Q] .snb FILE RECOVERY !!URGERNT!!

I've lost all my s note by accidently sync with a blank folder in my dropbox.
I am looking for file recovery tools but the problem is most of the tools doesn't recover .snb file.
Then it leaves me another option, which is recover all files using recuva. But the problem is my note 10.1 cannot show as a mass storage in my computer.
Help, please??:crying:
First question that pops in my mind is: "Did you make a correct backup before this mistake?"
If you did not, then i doubt there is anyway of recovering them...Maybe there are file recoverers that can get back deleted files for android, but i don't know any...
But if you have a backup somewhere, im pretty sure you can get back to it by re-initializing your dropbox app in your device

Well thats all for now, 3M
(Click THANKS if i was helpfull in anyway ^^)

I don't have a "Covers" folder at all on my phone.
Do you have the exact path?
