sorry for my question but wanted to know if anyone can help, 7 days ago bought a acer stream, I made the root and then exploring delete files by mistake apk system, of course, many things do not work now. If anyone can help they would appreciate a lot. Thanks.
You're pretty much out of luck. If you deleted the files 7 days ago, they are likely un-recoverable. If they are on the sd card, and less than a day or so, you have a chance to recover them using GetDataBack.
Your best bet is to do a factory reset to get all the files back.

remove them from the system and are apk files, there is no method to revive my acer?, it means that I throw it, only serves, I can not load a new rom?

these are the files I needed but when I try to run with the browser gets me close to applied force and will not let me run it. There is some solution to this?
Factory reset the phone. If you cant do it via settings, try recovery menu.

I tried to start from the menu, I did restart buttons and no screen goes black and does not reset to factory settings with some other idea?

Try unchecking Android Debugging. I can't seem to copy files unless that is unchecked.

Try and reboot the phone and the PC. Then reconnect the phone to the PC with USB debugging disabled.
If not maybe check your PC drivers.
You could also use adb to push the ROM.

It's possible that it could be the ROM but I'd think it has something more to do with your PC if it was working before.
Do you know of some update or change recently on the PC?
What error did you get when trying to push the ROM?
Let us know if it works once your back to stock.

I have few suggestions. If you are trying to copy zip file to phone, then dont do it. Put all the files you need in a folder and then copy to phone.
if it still gives error then try to copy to Downloads folder.
I had issues copying rar,zip files to phone. Due to filename length sometimes it doesnt allow you to copy.
Zaib
When i had such an issue i put in the folder i copied the files to a ".nomedia" file. You can find this kind of files on your device storage, copy your files to this location. I think what happens is that the phone is trying to index the files and fail. The ".nomedia" file prevent it from indexing.

I heard somewhere that temporarily changing the filename extention to something else, e.g., ".bak", will solve the problem.
Why not just download it straight to the phone?

I really don't think i had any new updates on my laptop. The error that it gives me when i drag and drop the .zip file on the root folder of the phone was "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".
Well, flashed back to stock and rooted back again to the latest nightly released from " Carbon Hammerhead nightly ". Still wondering what went wrong !! i did the same procedure that i did last time .. hmmmmm. Will update when i do next update

this is my fourth update now , since i went back to stock, root and running the same ROM. I am not sure what went wrong last time. Only thing i did extra that i remember is that i went to the advance to wipe and select all except for the system. other than that i follow the same procedure !!! could be corrupt zip file or may be something else .. really have no clue whats the main reason ....
Thanks for all the suggestion
When I first got my phone last week I tried to put some custom ROMs and mods on the internal storage but it wouldn't let me do it... so I copied a jpg image to the phone first and then it let copy the zip files

This happens to me almost allday because im consantly copying pulling the plug right out .When this happen go to device manager portable devices and uninstall the driver while your phones plug in, when done go notifaction panel and uncheck mtp, recheck mtp , let windows reinstall driver and your good. Now somtimes you can unplug your phone from pc than uncheck mtp/ recheck and plug phone back up and wula.
Solved!

Hello,
yes this has probably been a problem to many people, but I couldn't find a solution for my case.
I flashed a ROM and forgot to backup my files before, so now my whole photos and files I need are gone.
I am looking for a solution to restore deleted photos on my nexus 5. I obviously can't use generic recovery methods because, well, I don't have a sd card to pull out and plug into my computer.
is there a app / method to recover deleted files directly on the nexus (over adb?)?
Paid solutions are welcome too!
Check this thread, has a topic on OTG, which happens to allow mounting as usb storage. Might do the trick.
Hmm the OTG part is about mounting devices on the nexus. I want it the other way around, mount it on my mac and run recovery software on it.
Any ideas on that?
Can't be done.
Only options are whats in my signature. Section 5.4

Yep, we always love to hear a success story. Thanks!
This Data Recovery enables you to recover lost photos, videos, documents and more other files from your nexus 5, you can have a try.
t.co/IRVeusio2J
You've mentioned, " I don't have a sd card to pull out and plug into my computer", actually, you could apply to some app that could identify your device directly.
Here is an Android Data Recovery Mac that may help. You can also google other apps if you need.
Okay, so, I have upgraded to lollipop and I'm suffering the SD Card issue. Problem is, is that I've tried both the terminal commands and the flash files. They both worked but at the same time they didn't. Going into /data/media/0 won't show my files from before this incident UNLESS I go into /data/media/0 0 0 0. Only then will it show all of my files. After I had flashed the fix zip, clicking on SD Card showed nothing inside. Before, It would show files in it but none of mine unless I hit the zeros 4 times like in media. I'm completely out of options at this point and do not know what to do. Can I flash a 4.4.4 ROM and restart to see if I get the same problem? Any and all help is appreciated.
Anyone?? I really need this figured out.
Copy all your data off and then factory reset.

You have lots of folders called 0?

Yes I do. The only way I was able to get into my files was to continue to click on the 0 folder 4 times until all my files showed up.
Lol. When was the last time you did a clean flash?
Someone joked about this when the 1st dev preview came out. Saying if I keep dirty flashing i can get a row of 0 folders

you can do what i did.. i used the root explorer file explorer and just moved all the folders/files back to where they should be, manually. it took about 25 minutes. you know where your files are, you know where they go, just move them back, one by one if needed.

That's what I did. Only I get copies of certain folders. I just left them. Some of my pictures still don't show though. Idk why. For now, I'm leaving this alone as a temporary fix. Hopefully those missing files aren't actually deleted.

Then wipe storage too. Take all your data off and wipe the sdcard completely. Factory reset in stock recovery wipes sdcard. On TWRP, you have to wipe storage too.
Hey Guys,
Brand new to XDA and new to messing with my phone in anyway, I looked through some threads, but am not sure if I can mess something up worse by not following the right steps,
I basically bought a used phone on craigslist, AT&T LG G FLEX 2 - LG-H950 and when I factory reset it, many of the default apps are not installed, cannot use my calendar and the phone is just a little off all together.
Not sure if the phone is still rooted or if the factory reset cleared it, and I am all together worried that the only reason the kid sold it to me was because he messed it up and couldn't fix it and just pawned it off to my dumas
I know its frowned upon to start new threads when the answers are out there, but i need this for work ASAP and if I screw it up and cant use it all Ill have to go back to my work iPhone (last resort, i hate it)
I started to follow hyelton's video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
but got cold feet when i couldnt find my exact model the h950
It is currently on the android 5.0.1 and when i tried the update before i reset it, it said i couldn't update it something about the root. So i reset it and everything is the same as when I bought it on CraigList.
How do I get it back to square one, like it came in the box. I am interested in learning how to root and be in control of my own property, but I just want to get back to the start safely without bricking it so I can follow the forums and not feel so helpless.
im sorry if the first response to this just point me to another thread, but I will appreciate even that much guidance so at least i know i am headed in the right direction
Thanks a lot xda community

Factory reset won't remove root BTW. Recent Android phones seem to perform an integrity check prior to updating that fails when root is present.

Just read that to get the phone back to stock, then you'll be able to upgrade to 11x (5.1.1) and eventually 11z.

cool, thanks, one more question
I made an account with MEGA
downloaded the Flex2Tool 1.4.1 and unzipped
downloaded the system.img.gz
Started watching your video. however i am not bricked.
it has missing default apps and it says this device is suspected in rooting, software update is not available for rooted device.
so what is my first step after downloading these files. do i connect phone to my computer and open up the flex2tool and
select variant 1 which is H950 v10d etc
then do I select 1 , ( i do not need anything on the phone.)
or move straight to variant 2. restore unroot stock system.
if i do that next where do I put the system.img.gz file on my phone. anywhere in the internal memory and before or after I reset it?
sorry for all the questions and thanks for all the help. i am very new to doing anything besides calling or texting on my phone

1. You first need the LG USB drivers for the Flex to be installed
2. The system image file (gz) will have a .img file inside that's about 4GB, so unzip the one you downloaded with 7zip, preferably from a PC. Put the .img file on the root of the phone's internal memory before proceeding. You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option
3. Once file is on phone you can continue with the tool, it will eventually go into download mode & show ## when finished

okay i did that but
I dont understand your last thing >>>>"You'll also want USB debugging enable and disable the verify over USB option"
when i have my usb connected the phone gives three options
1.Charge Phone
via usb
2.Media Sync (MTP)
3.Send images (PTP)
When restarting the recovery tool after img. has been installed to root of internal storage. do i just start program or do i need to turn off phone or reset it or just run it with the MTP

Like that. Check that the USB debugging icon shows in the notification area while USB is connected as MTP. Then you can start the tool. Be sure that the .img is present on the root(sdcard0) prior to letting the tool reboot the phone.

Probably a good idea. I think the previous owner was trying to delete some of the bloatware and didn't properly restore the phone before selling it, not sure if that was done purposely or not.

the default apps for the calendar which was my original issue still is not there, just a generic Android icon. because there is no default it will not allow me to sync calendars, also no default messaging app.

You need to unzip that file
.gz like .rar or .zip are different types of compression, so download the latest version of winrar or use 7zip, you need the system.img file (4gb)
