Dears, I need help !! I had HTC One M7, I usually backup my phone using HTC Sync Manager as a backup option and store the files in my local hard disk. I lost my HTC phone, but luckily I backed my contacts to the local HDD but the mistake I did was, I did not completely backup the contacts to my Gmail account. Now, I am now using a non HTC android phone. I see the files are backed up in my local hard disk under the folder HSMBackup with some sub folders with junk names.. when I enter into each sub folders I see different files with .xml format. I tried to rename then to .CSV, .XSL, .VCF etc.. but it does not work for any of them. I am not sure how to recover these files. when contacted HTC support they said I need to use another HTC phone, then connect it to my PC and then backup my contacts.
Is there a way out to exact the files from these HSMBackup folder?

I have noticed that whenever I make a backup of my Touch Pro through Spb Backup it gaves lots of errors about .bpsd files in the \Windows\BPSD\ directory. I have searched on google and xda-devs and have not been able to find what this directory is for?
Can anyone please help me understand if the .bpsd files are curcial system files or they are just some temporary files.
hi surfturtle,
same problem on my touch HD and found in another forum (pocketpc.ch) a reply, which was forwarded from HTC Support:
...
You are not the first user of HTC Touch HD, who contacted us with such problem. We have contacted HTC and got the answer that the files contained in the "\windows\bpsd\" folder are drivers for different Epson printers. For more information about printing from your device, please refer to the User Manual.
Also, we have done some tests and they showed that these files are not critical to the overall quality and consistency of the created backup file. So, they can be ignored for now. In future version we will fix this problem.
...
So I ignore and wait for a fix.

i thought i was log in. sorry about that. i ask in the right thread now.

This is my very first time posting here and I really didn't know where should i look for help other than here, so... Hello there, XDA community.
It goes like this: Several months ago, I accidentally deleted a note in S Memo from my Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337, rooted stock Kitkat 4.4.2). Recently, when I realized that I actually need it, I have looked upon several solutions, one of them being exploring the thumbnail cache folder of the S Memo app (/storage/emulated/0/Application/SMemo/cache), which gave me the cache files but among them I didn't find the lost note. Now, if the cache files were packed inside a regular image extension, I would have no problems recovering them with any usual android file recovery tool, but unfortunately they are basically .png files packed inside a weird extension (.sfm to be exact, literally by changing the extension in the file name to .png they become viewable). Since there isn't any software that is able to recover files with that extension, what are the options?
How hard is it to compile an actual app which would dig up the folder for the note? (I've done some basic programming stuff when I was younger and I do have an idea how it all works)
Where are actual S Memo files stored? Is it easier to recover them instead of cache?
Also, since I'm rooted, is it possible to turn the phone into a mass storage device and trick the computer so I could look up for the note using PC file recovery tools?
The case is really urgent.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
D.

Hi
I'm trying to restore my phone back to the standard settings using a .backup file that someone on the xda forums was kind enough to upload. The problem though, is that clockworkmod doesn't appear to find the file. I think I found the problem though.
CWM appears to have a different way of saving backups. Instead of just having a .backup file, it has a folder with the date I made a backup to test, and in that are the boot & system (etc...) files.
How would I go about solving this?

I was trying to backup my pictures that I took with phone camera (stock camera app).
I have done this multiple times before without a problem.
However, when I tried doing it again recently (perhaps its my first time after updating to Marshmellow), I am unable to find "Camera" folder under "DCIM" folder.
I still have all the photos in my phone (they are not deleted), I just simply cannot locate them through USB when I connect it to my PC.
What's funny is, there are a handful of photos that I moved from "Camera" folder to separate folders USING MY PHONE and I am able to locate those photos saved in separate folders through USB. I just cannot locate "Camera" folder.
I have tried transferring the photos using: MTP, PTP and also the option of USB ethernet (computer didn't recognize my phone when I tried this option)
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance
