[Q] Where is the firmware downloaded via LG mobile update? - LG Optimus 3D

I want to know where is the firmware file downloaded on the hard drive as I was testing my phone a day or so ago and the LG software update told me there is an update available and I downloaded the 400MB file. It installed and everything but I noticed my C: drive has lost about same size of space even after quitting the program.
I've checked the temp files, the temp internet folder, all the LG folders in program files, in hidden apps local/roaming, My downloads etc and nowhere I can find the file which fits the size. I need to clean up and delete that file.
thanks

T-Mobile MDA Compact IV and Cab files

Hi I am new to this and need some advice.
For 3 days I have tried to install the TF3D config file on my T-Mob MDA Compact IV
ROM Version 1.37.110.3 dated from June 2008
I have saved the config tool to my PC.
I copy the folder that contains several files.
I open active sync and browse to a desired destination and paste the folder.
On the phone I browse via the explorer to the pasted folder
I see the one called setup and try to install this and it keeps launchng the web n walk opera browser.
Is that right? Do I need to do something else?
It doesnt seem to install the config tool.
I have tried opening the files ending in 001 002, 003 etc and removing or adding back the tweak.
I have even updated to framework 3.5
Is there something I am missing? I've read pages and pages on the internet, watched vids from you tube and I cant get why its not happening for me.
I have tried installing in to the root, on the internal store, in windows and that makes no difference
I then tried copying flashplayer for ppc and though none of those files are associated to the opera browser, I cant run them either as the phone thinks they are unassociated files. It doesn't see them as a cab.
All I want to do is install a theme for touchflow.
However msi installs work fine.
Has T-mobile locked down the ability to install cab files?
Please help I am out of ideas
ahhhhhhh haaaaaa
OK I found the problem
I unzipped the file on my PC and cpoied the unzipped files over.
That was totally wrong I see now.
I should have copied the zipped file on to the PPC and opened it on the device
Thanks

Where is the .zip file I downloaded?

Hello, I have downloaded a zip file through IE. Where I can find it ?
Thank you
There isnt a specific place... each app has its own isolated storage where it keeps their files.
You should be able to open that ZIP file from the browser and it will show you the files within... if they are recognised file types by WP7, it will let you run them.
But that's it, you have no file manager you can goto and fetch that saved file.
PS: well, you have... but I'm unsure if TouchXplorer is still working or not.
Thanks for this, but how can i delete it if I can't find it? I use the TouchXplorer...
I am concerning about the phone memory.
Generally, files downloaded through IE are stored in temporary memory and will be erased after a certain amount of time.
I ran into the same problem today. luckily i hit the windows button so all I have to do is hit the back button to reach the zip file again. Kind of frustrating when you dont have a file explorer and no other way to reach the file you just downloaded

[Q] Writing a file back to a Marketplace apps Isolated Storage?

Hi All,
I've used Heathcliff's WP7RootTools 0.9 to extract a file from an installed apps IsolatedStorage. The app in question was installed from the Marketplace, but I want to modify some of the files it's saved to it's Isolated Storage.
I extracted the file I wanted to edit by using the Explorer utility in WP7RootTools to copy the file to the "My Documents" folder, and renamed the extension to docx. From there I could simply go into the Office Hub, where the file was now listed, and emailed the file to myself.
I have made the edits to the file, but now need to get the file back into the app's Isolated Storage. This is where I have now got a bit stuck
I've tried copying the file to SkyDrive, and using the Office Hub to download it from SkyDrive to my phone. The file downloaded and is cached on the phone somewhere, but the file location, according to Office is not "Phone". This is normal, as Skydrive downloaded documents are not saved to the "Phone" location until you open the document and do "Save as".
I cannot of course open the downloaded file, as it isn't really a .docx file. Files loacted in the "Phone" location show up in "My Documents" in the WP7RootTools explorer. SkyDrive downloaded documents I have no idea where they are located?
Can you guys help? Does anyone know the path to location of SkyDrive downloaded items on the phone. If so, then I can easily just use the WP7Roottools Explorer to copy the file back to the apps Isolated Storage.
Is there a better way to copy a non-Office file back onto the phone?
Regards,
Micro666
You could use one of these apps:

i was going to suggest using WPV App Data Backup, but it seems i saved the Backups in the wrong location... (will fix in next release)
so,
you can use TouchXperience or WMDC Launcher.

I'm looking to do the exact same thing....
Options:
1. Do exactly what you've been doing, but save as .txt instead of .docx. The phone can still open this, even though its probably a binary file, and save it to the "Phone" location. Then you can copy it back and rename it.
2. Use an app that gives direct access to the phone's filesystem from the PC, like TouchXperience+WPDM, or Root Webserver (see my sig)+your favorite webbrowser.
3. Use any other way to get a file onto the phone, such as emailing it to yourself, using IsolatedStorageexplorer, or putting it in a XAP files and installing that file. Then move the file with WP7 Root Tools.
I recommend approach #2.

I used TouchExperience.
1.On my Fully unlocked Device(I assume you can do this with root tools), I installed a file manager that gives full access to the device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24636416&postcount=23
2. I installed TouchEperience on my PC. After giving the WP7 app, Root tools rights, it should show most of the file system(on the PC) but, not all of it. So I created a new folder in \Windows (temp).
3. On the Phone, I hunted down the file I was looking for from Isolated Storage, I copied it to the \windows\temp folder.
4. Used the PC TouchExperience and browsed to \Windows\temp, there was my files, I copied them to my PC. USed the File Explorer to delete the files in my \temp folder(to make sure they were gone).
5. I edited the files, copied them back to \Windows\Temp on my device via TouchExperience on the PC. Then used the file explorer to copy them back to the Isolated Storage.
Note: The file explorer I posted a link to is GREAT, it can even edit files (basic text editor) in Isolated storage. I found a way to Cheat on a marketplace Xbox live game (didn't try others), right before the achivements, so they were really easy to get
I'm sure there is easier methods but, this worked for me...
Can I ask, what app did you try this on ?
Hope this helped...
FYI DavidinCT: Cheating XBL games is very risky. Microsoft often can detect it (for example, if you get one achievement that would have required getting another first) and they can and will permanently ban your Xbox Live account for doing so.
That all said... why didn't you just use WPDM (on the PC) to copy the file straight to the IsoStore of the app? So much easier...

To be honest, I only did it with a game that had an error when I got so far, so the final achivements of the game. A Game with a Known issue but, no fix.
And I just really wanted to see if I COULD do it...
I used WPDM but, the PC version even with my phone fully unlocked (custom rom on my VZW HTC Trophy) and using Root tools 0.9 to give full to TouchExperince root, would not see all the folders and would not see the IsoStore. SO I had to copy the files to a folder that WMDM could see.
Personally, the new File Explorer above is awsome, it's even got a editor in it, I didn't even need to go through all that......

Moving files from Moto G, file transfer aborted, files lost

Hi there!
I recently tried to move a folder with image files from my Moto G to my computer. Android 4.4.2, USB driver from the Motorola site. I used an USB cable and accessed the folder via the USB mass storage function of Windows Explorer. However, after a short time, the file transfer stopped, the file transfer window disappeared. In the target folder, there were now 137 files, but in the source folder, about 300 files were missing. Adding to that, the 137 files copied seem to be still in the source folder. To sum this up, the system (Vista x64, but also same with Windows 7 x64) seems to have copied 137 files, and deleted 300 on the Moto G. I tried to copy all the files again a couple of times, but every time to no avail. The file numbers have varied, sometimes I have got 122, mostly 137. The transfer seems to always stop at a certain file.
Is there anyone who can make sense of this phenomenon and tell me whether I'm able to restore the missing files, and to successfully copy the files?
Thanks!

[Q] How to delete ".thumbnail" folder and free up some space?

Hi guys! I have an Xperia Z3 D6603 running on official Android version 6.0.1 with build number 23.5.a.0.575, not rooted. I am not a tech guru and know very little of all these devices. My problem is that almost 5.0 GB of my internal storage is consumed by ".thumbnails" folder which I want to delete. I have searched some solutions and found out that normally people get some free space till these files reappear and in the mean time they can make this space useful but the case is different here. I have tried to delete this folder and all the containing files but even though the folder disappears for some time, I still don't get any free space even for a short time and the files start to reappear after some time. I don't have any Gallery other than the Album app and as it cannot be deleted, I have tried disabling but the problem still remains. I have also tried creating a new folder with the same name but the system would rename it to ".thumbnails 1" and another folder with the name ".thumbnails" would reappear . I had the same problem also with Lollipop on this device. I use FILE KOMMANDER, it is the system app.
Any help is highly appreciated.
The .thumbnails folder contain the preview of photo, image, an app generate that folder and it will be generate when deleted
