They number more than 20 and their name and extension are squares or symbols as if looking at a document with the wrong encoding. Don't know when they got there but they all belong to system and have creation dates like 1970 and 1994.

please provide more information. are you stock out of the box, flashed a rom, did any mods, clicked on a suspicious link either on the web or FB? Kinda hard to help you out with out more information.
in general, I have not heard of anything like this. BUT, if my thoughts serve me right, it sounds like your phone has been compromised.

Don't you think that any reasonable person would have taken the phone back if it came out of box like this?
Did I click on any questionable links in fb or web??? does it make a difference? I still need to get rid of it. It isn't a self replicating virus you dufuss. Its a file.

Wow... this guy is a HUGE BAG OF DICKS!!! I don't post much, and I had a small issue with something that fkn was more than happy to reply with his knowledge and assistance.
This reminds me of many many years ago while working for a call center. Stupid user calls and gives you the worst description possible. Then you wind up having to write a thesis in order to get the information you need because they can't even describe the issue. At least they weren't trying to make changes to the system, they were just using it b/c they were smart enough not to try and modify something they know jack about.
The problem here is ESTO (Equipment Superior To User)
I'm sorry, but i just can't take it anymore. Every morning for the past few weeks, I'd go on xda, anticipating some great new app, ROM, or just anything. And lately, there's been a lot new roms, which i love and thank the devs very much for. But with those roms came new questions and problems. I understood that people had simple questions to ask, and those questions were answered. But after a while, the forums just turned to...uh garbage. Everybody is asking the same questions that were answered time after time, not reading and posting the same things over and over. Also, everyone feels the need to be rude to others or argue. If it's something about a rom, fine. But if it's a post saying how you suck or if it's a repeated question, don't feed the fire by adding back or acknowledging that question. Just ignore it. I'm sorry for this long post,i just looked at the AOKP Q&A, and it's 40 pages. There's absolutely no reason for it to be that long, and most of it is repeated questions and people fighting with each other. This is the internet, you're never gonna see each other, so don't be offended. If I'm breaking any forum rules, again, I'm sorry. It just seems that is in style lately.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
That's what the Q&A thread is for.. inquiries and discussions. The reason it is there is to leave the development threads clean of repetitive questions. I think you're just being a little dramatic. The search function isn't exactly top notch, and this is the internet.. so there will be people who are gonna be either lazy or rude, or both.
Oh, the drama!
Welcome to the internet.
I've been called every name in the book....its nothing new to me....I don't mind really.
People don't get me I'm just blunt and to the point...don't like it....well go ahead and call me names....just try calling me one I've never heard before and you just might get a thanks for it lol.....I don't bring my feelings here and neither should anyone else but hey this is the internet....get all kinds here.....its all good ....besides that's what the short bus is here for ......just take a seat and enjoy the ride :-D

It's a never ending cycle. When development pics up, so does the acts of noob... I am guilty of it too. As for loosing the search button, it happens a lot. Erik and I was just discussing that the other night...lol
Bottom line, as long as the dev threads are clean, then it shouldn't really be a problem. When real issues come up, we dev's usually post them in our threads. As for the q&a's, we should focus to keep those clean as well, because there can be a lot of useful information post there as well.
Well i use xda on my phone, and for some reason, whenever i try to search, everything comes up as 0 results, so that's why i had to use those threads. But you know, you learn from your past mistakes.

Regarding searching from the app, I don't. The search function sucks from the app, so I wait until I have time to search from my laptop, then start a thread if no results can be found.
Patience is key, its just a phone wait til you can properly attempt to help yourself before asking for assistance.

It is always sad to see a valued member leave. I wasn't aware of his work as I spend most of my time in the atrix 2 forum.
Are there any other known methods for rooting the inspire? My gfs phone is nearing unusable with the constant reboots. I have yet to find any information on fixing that issue as well. She has only had the phone about a month. Any input would be appreciated.

Well, before rooting is always good to check that the device has no hardware issues. Try doing a factory reset and see what happens. Try pulling the sdcard and see how it behaves for a day.
If is still misbehaving, then take it to warranty....rooting will not fix hardware issues. Then, when u are sure that no hardware issues are the cause of the problems, come and visit us in the IRC channel in my signature...the Hack Kit is still there....

Also if I'm allowed to put my two cents in here... but charge to 100% and as it dies check the percentage if it reboots write down the percent. Do it until it dies fully charge it and repeat. If the numbers match up its the battery I had bought this phone used. It rebooted at 96% and 42%. Got a new battery and no more random reboots

Hello,
Today I'm going to try test three of the bootloader unlock (the test two didn't work, please delete it).
I'm not responsible if this hard-bricks your device, no don't blame me.
OK, so pm me please if you want to try it.
Only ONE person with 50+ posts or 10+ thanks may try it (to make sure your not motorola).
So post here first so that we can tell who will test it.
Good Luck,

Why not try on your own device? If I was working a zip flash to unlock the bootloader, I'd be trying on my own phone, rather than enlist others who may possibly brick as result. And, as DX2Trip asked in "test two", have the devs seen this that you're experimenting with?

There have been offers like this in the past. So please don't cast aspersions on the OP.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840550
The OPs offer is rather more generous in comparison.
Why do people always bother to see the post count and reps ? Its surely not a measure of how intelligent a person is.A person might be good but could have joined board late so he might be having less rep and posts. :/ We need to stop skeptical and embrace the help.
@OP : good luck with it.Some more details would be nice. All the best.
Edit : good example of what I wanted to say : http://i.imgur.com/v0H7z.jpg
The idea with the post count requirement was to make sure that motorola didn't create an account and volunteer to test it, and then go and analyze it, patch it if it worked, and then report back that it didn't either way.
Personally, I think that this may be unnecessary (although I have doubts about Moto's character, they definitely don't have the resources to be trolling dev forums in an effort to actively discourage development on year old hardware)
I would volunteer to test this, except that I fall just short of both requirements and I would also like to know what happened with the previous two tests before attempting this one (did they result in a brick?)
Again, as Fall of Enosis mentioned, the lack of replies by OP is a bit questionable. People asked legitimate questions in the first "test thread", and nothing was answered. Any good dev keeps up with his/her threads, and assures people with confidence by laying concerns to rest with some riposte. Not trying to cast any doubt on the OP's abilities, just a mention here of maybe taking a more proactive role in the threads he starts. My suggestion, to be taken or left alone...

I am just going to assume that you will give us an over view of what you tried. We don't want people to get all pushy but it would be nice.
I'm also assuming the thread (x-files thread) a couple of days ago that ended in pm's was hashed out on back channels and this is a by product.
If I wrong well so be it but that's what happens when there is sooo little info.
Good luck.

Report it anyway. To answer your question, if someone managed to get you to inadvertently install some spyware from Facebook on your computer, they could possibly access your files.
Best bet is to verify he actually has the file. If he does, report it to the police.

It's not possible to format a hard disk through facebook,
but this person may have installed some kind of spyware on your computer and access it that way.
(did you ever open some kind of attachment from an email from him or something?? that way he could have put it on your computer)
As others have said, you should contact the police!

Well, in the future keep truly sensitive media on a storage device that's not connected to the Internet and encrypt it.
I don't know what you have that would make you "dead" but unless it's so illegal that 700€ is a good deal, just accept it.
Maybe I'm boring, but the most embarrassing file on my computer is probably either any of the Katy Perry MP3s or a picture of me in my underwear.
If you're doing illegal things, keep them on a separate machine than the one you browse the Internet and conduct frivolous personal entertainment on.
But if it's kiddie porn, forward it to your local police kthx. Otherwise, what could be that bad? Sorry for suggesting the worst - I'm just an innocent soul who can't really imagine what could be worth 700€ outside of the realm where you could just pay someone to have this guy shot.

**** just got real.
Anyway, you can report it to the police, I think it's a violation to someone's privacy, blackmailing is a crime, but if that "thing" is just somewhat illegal, maybe you should pay the price, that's what I've learned in Breaking Bad (tv series)

I can understand how a lot of things can complicate people's lives - I can see if they got work information that you would get in trouble for having publicly released - but in that case I would be contacting my employer first to have them get their legal team/the police on it.
I just don't keep secrets very well, I suppose - so I don't have really anything that could be used as "dirt" against me so the situation confuses me a little. If someone got naked pictures of me and published them, it's not worth 700€ to me to stop them - might as well be proud and admit, "yep that's what I look like under my clothes, crazy that we all tend to have genitals, huh ?" Though I suppose if you were entrusted to keep naked pictures of someone else (that you presumably cared about) that would indeed be a problem and a difficult situation - pay 700€ or possibly lose a relationship with someone.
Or proof of an affair, a hidden past as a porn star now that you're an elementary school teacher who lied about that past, pictures of that time you did lines of coke off a prostitute's buttocks, or video of when you paid to kill a child in a Mexican hostel for cheap thrills. I guess I'm just not cool enough to get invited to parties where that kind of thing happens so I don't have to worry about it.
@OP, if it's not this bad, I hope it cheers you up that it could be worse ? If it's that bad, er, sorry.
Google has more dirt on me than anyone who scouring my hard-drive could get. They have the proof that I'm a barely-sentient mouth-breather who Googles the stupidest things imaginable and is incapable of installing anything on Linux without a tutorial, apparently, and went on an hours-long search binge looking at pictures of baby ungulates.
Unless it's really, really bad instead of merely embarrassing, I'd just admit it myself first and leave the "blackmailer" without anything of worth. The choices here seem like either do that, pay it, or put a measure of faith in the police in whatever country this person is located. I'm not sure how effective it would be to get this person's personal information and threaten to release it and try to drum up a media fuss - would that scare them or would they just try to take you down with them ?
I'm also curious as to how they pulled this off seemingly without indication (not doubting it, just curious).
Nono dont worry its nothing illegal but it is just a plain stupid video of me that i do not want anybody to see im quite a shy person you see... meh he haven't contacted me yet back i assume he let me go away whit it...

I used to be very shy, but now I'm merely a private person. I learned a very good "lesson" that has held true so far - admit to yourself and be honest about it and people will respect you for that. If they don't, well, why let it bother you? That's their problem if you've personally accepted whatever happened - good, bad, or just stupid.
I have "secrets" that could potentially put my life in danger. But why let someone have that in a manner where they might not stop after one extortion - what's to say they won't just ask for more money later ? Better to tell them to piss off and then prepare myself for whatever.
Try, "haha, [blackmailers name] thinks they can get me to pay 700€ to keep this down. Well, here it is and now it's worthless since you all can view e being a moron right here, right now - go nuts"
