I 've had the same problem and it was solved by doing the following:
1)Open the File Explorer
2)Click Menu--> View Options
3)Tick "Show all files"
I don't know if that's the case but it worked for me.

hi bro, i download the program frm HTC website, i install it on my PC, what is the next step? after installed, i try to back up, an error message prompt out Please Ensure Sprite Backup is install in your device, can anyone guide me?
i try to run the setup file in my phone but it cant install
thanks.

Wish I could remember exactly how to set it up, but I can't. What I do remember clearly though is that you have to run it from your PC the first time - it can't be run from the device initially. Did you get the app' onto the device via Activesync? I seem to remember it working through Activesync the first time, but like you I failed to start it on the device, so I'd give up trying that way - it's a waste of time. Persevere with it like I did, and you'll get there!

Thanks. can download and backup already.

Recover deleted files with mac

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.

Yes, I am currently trying a option cross linked in that guide.
I'm taking a raw image of my data partition to my mac and will try to restore data there.
Steps taken from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...de-internal-memory-data-recovery-yes-t1994705. Although for windows, but finding the needed tools for mac is not that big of a task.
Will report if I have any success on this

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.

[Tutorial] Use same Whatsapp number (account) on Two devices .

Update 12/Nov
Video Tutorial ...
English qnd germqn in CC
https://youtu.be/krZXnsIU2zw
===============
Requirements :
Brain
Whatsapp with verifed number
Xposed frame work
Rooted phone
Titanium backup
Donkey guard
Lets Start ​
The Idea of this trick is to fake the Imei number of second mobile which will make Whatsapp think that it's the first mobile and keep receiving messages without ask to re-verify .
step 1 :
In first mobile . Dial
Code:
*#06#
, You'll find the Imei number (15 digits) , just write it on piece of paper .
step 2 :
Open Titanium backup , Grant Root permission and backup data of Whatsapp , you'll find three files in dir
/sdcard/Titaniumbackup
copy them to your desktop
step 3 :
Install Whatsapp, Titanium backup.
Install Xposed frame work , and thin install Donkey guard module .
You can find out how here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-donkeyguard-security-management-t2831556
step 4 :
Open Donkey guard, find whatsapp, and select settings , Identity , thin click on pen icon next to Device ID
Popup will show up , write the IMEI you get from step 1 , and press save , then click on floppy icon in upper corner to save the rules , then close donkyguard.
step 5 :
copy the files you get from step 2 to /sdcard/Titanium backup
Then open Titanium and perform a restore .
That's it , easy right ?
Now you can use chat with your friend from two devices without use another number .
For me I'm using YouWave from Laptop and mobile

Titanium backup : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en
Donley guard : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-donkeyguard-security-management-t2831556
**Note**
1) It's impossible to recive messages on two devices on same time , The device which is connected to Internet will recieve the messages , If both were conncted, The last devices you send message from will be the receiver .
If you find this Useful , please press like , It mean a lot to me .
Sorry for my bad English

does it ask for re registration on the second device having the same number? or after backup, whatsapp will just open up and work as before??

I couldn't make it work. Titanium backup doesn't seem to work on my pricipal device. Always got a storage problem error.
Is there any workaround for the TB step? Tryed to copy the system folder and the media folder but with no luck.
Also i'm using lollipop in one side and the JB on the other. This should cause any problem?
Thanks a lot!!!

Bought on Craigslist, Factory reset it, Many default apps are gone, Lots of issues?

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3171550
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.

okay, i reset it but still dont have default apps
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.
not sure if this just put me back to 5.0.1 which is where already was but i am still missing default apps to make the phone run smoothly,
any ideas on what i may have done wrong

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)

What do you mean when you say the file is "unzipped"? You are supposed put the zipped file in the root?

Have you deleted .jar ending of the file? If not, do it and move .zip file to root directory.

If everything you wrote is true, then I would say that you have downloaded an earlier version than what you have installed.
Or, you have a mismatch between beta and released.

I downloaded the official A10 release from the OnePlus site and 1st time I did it I was even guided there by OnePlus support.
That doesn't explain why the phone just doesn't see the file.

Btw when I did a factory reset to try and resolve this upgrade I didn't wipe the internal data .
I was gonna try and factory reset yet again but this time wipe all data.
Post reset Ill copy the upgrade zip back to the phone and see if the system update will recognise it.
Do you think this could work?

Thank you so so so much
The file you asked me to download worked no problem whereas it would not see other zips.
Rebooted in A10 NOW.
IF I have to factory reset now will it go back to 9?
If so I'll just keep the upgrade file on the phone too?
Thank you so much again

You are currently on Android 10
OxygenOS 10.0.6
If you do a factory reset, you still stay on Android 10.
This method will delete the entire contents of the phone!
P.S
I am glad that everything went well.

Ok that's great
The whole reason I got into this mess was because I spoke to you oneplus saying that my phone would stop recognising the fingerprint and the Google assistant they advised to flash the phone rather than just a factory reset so hopefully now with this cleaner install I should have no problems thank you again
