Hello Guys
I am trying to move all my files from my OnePlus One to my OnePlus Three.
For that i have copied all files from internal storage of the OPO to my PC.
At this stage all the Timestamps are correct (Date when file was last changed)
When i move or copy (tried both, no difference) all files change the timestamps to the current time which messes up my file sorting for gallery and music players etc.
how can i move my files to the new devices with intact filestamps?
The OnePlus 3 is rooted, has busybox installed and is running the latest stock rom.
Thanks in advance
BUMP...... I have the same issue. Would be nice to know of a way to keep the timestamps.

Hi,
I used the HTC Notes app to record a meeting today and would like to save it on my computer. But I can't find where Notes save the voice recoding on the SD card.
Can somebody please help me out.
Many thanks
..
im not sure if the recording works but i sync my HTC notes with evernote and al my notes are on the pc automatically.
I flashed a new ROM without backup the stock Note app, now the Note app on the new ROM does not show my old recording.
Can someone please give me some clue on where the video recording might be located, or the what the extension for Note recoding is?
Many thanks
I recently ran into this problem on my HTC One XL: I flashed a new ROM and realised my girlfriend had recently added notes that we needed. I found them on the sdcard partition under .data/HtcNotes. Given I'm running a non-standard ROM I could just mount my phone as a mass storage device and browse to the folder. If you want to look at them on your phone, then you can do that too using the ES File Explorer app (I have no affiliation with them, I just know that it works) after enabling hidden folders in the settings.
FYI, this directory seems to contain a hidden directory for each note, and each directory contains (possibly among other things) a content.html file that has the textual contents of your note saved as HTML. I'm guessing that other media types would be saved within these directories, but I don't have any to test with.
So I flashed a new rom with all the wipes and I ended up with a couple issues and the typical 4.2 file structure under the "0".
I tried another ROM again today (with the wipes) and now I have two "0" folders, one embedded under another and a lot of my backups are in different locations.
So it's SDCard/0/0.
Is there a good way to fix this?

I know the CAUSE is from using an out-of-date recovery. TWRP hasn't had that issue for a while, but i think CWM only fixed it just recently. It didn't start until i believe 4.2.1 ROMS were flashed. I'm still not sure if it's a good thing or not to delete those "0" folders or not. I'm sure someone will chime in on that.
the 0 folders have your sd card files in them (pictures, music, etc). if you move all your stuff back to the root of your internal sd card you can delete the 0 folders.

I tried moving the folders on my windows PC (old pos) and it didn't work. Android file transfer doesn't work with my GS3 and my Mac.
Frustrating.
Anyways to reflash something in CWM or is moving the files the only way?
Edit: Astro works alright...so where should Ibe putting most of these files? Under SDCard or under SDCard/0?
Now i moved some folders up, the gallery shows everything as a picture (icons) and titanium can't find any apps.
Nw sure what to do.
After I went back to stock, re-rooted, and reflashed 4.2, I tried moving everything from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard. It seemed to work, but then all of a sudden, on the next boot, it was all gone. My internal storage was wiped.
Luckily most of the important stuff is on my external SD card, but that was still really frustrating.
Just a word of warning if you try to move these files. Make a backup.

No file moving should be done, it will most likely cause data loss when the issue is finally gone... If CWM has fixed it switch to the newest one or use TWRP and Fully Wipe the phone including format /system...
Here is a link to a script you can flash to move files from 0 folders back to sdcard, you can thank the OP of the script there:

Manual solution via Windows
I had the same problem. Solved via the following steps: Using Windows, navigate to deepest level "0" folder. Select all, copy. Navigate to the next higher level "0" folder (or the root "Phone" folder if you're only one step down). Paste. Windows will perform a merge, versus replace.
Next, delete the "0" folder from the directory you're currently in, the one you just copied all the files from. I should note, I actually moved the folder to my desktop just in case I needed to bring it back later. So far I haven't, but better safe than sorry.
Once that's done, select all in the same folder, copy. Navigate to the next higher "0" level folder or the root (or the root "Phone" folder if you're only one step down). Paste. Repeat same process, move up a level, repeat, move up a level. You'll need to do this for every "0" folder you have (I had two, I've seen reports of more & less).
Eventually, you'll have all the same files and directory structure merged up to the root Phone folder. My device, a Samsung S3 running 4.3, recognized and responded to the changes with no problems.
I'm having troubles consolidating my files on my internal storage and sdcard. There are duplicate files that have no real extensions and almost seem like my storage created an exact copy of all of my files.
Image folders are listed twice in the Gallery app and the dead files show up in my gallery as black/nothing photos.
When looking in a file manager application, there are folders titled "0", legacy, and emulated. I have done some research and found out that this is a product of the feature within android 4.2 called user profiles. I'm still not exactly sure how this works and would appreciate if someone could shed some light onto this topic.
I am just having troubles getting my storage back to its consistency which is a huge thing for me. How can I at least gain control over my files?
Look on cm10.1 thread..there will be a .zip u flash in recovery, its called restore sd after downgrade zip. Hope this helps
Hi all,
I've found that the file system.ext4.win can have a different size when saved to a subfolder when compare to the folder /storage/emulated/0/TWRP/BACKUPS. Here I'm talking about the Create Nandroid Backup feature. It seems that the pulling process don't work well or at least don't really compare the saved files. Sometime, the pulling process only retreive 9 files instead of 11. I'm using the latest 1.7.9 version.
BTW, I can retreive all files from my Nexus 4 via an FTP client (FileZilla) and all files are exactly the same size.
Thanks,
Yves

Installed the latest version 1.8.0 but got the same problem. Only nine files were pulled instead of eleven. Using FileZilla FTP client retrieve eleven files from the phone.
I haven't seen this topic discussed here on the M8 Q&A so I applogize if this has been answered.
I just got my M8 yesterday and didn't want to transfer everything over using HTC's transfer tool (going from and HTC Vivid) as I used my Vivid for 2 years and it was kind of cluttered.
Anyway, I copied all my stuff off my old phone and save it on my PC. I moved all the stuff I wanted using Windows Explorer to my M8. A ringtones folder showed up in Windows Explorer under my M8's internal storage so I copied my ringtones I wanted to that folder. They don't show up under setting/personalize. I used root browser to copy the files to system/media/audio/ringtones but the operation failed (I think it's because I'm not rooted). This is the folder that I see the HTC default ringtones in. If I press the + in personalize/ringtones to add new ringtones it takes me to the music folders. I moved the ringtones from the first location into a folder in my music folder named ringtones. They still didn't show up until I removed the .nomedia file. I was able to add them to the list and I assigned them to the contacts I wanted. I don't want to see the ringtones when playing music so I placed the .nomedia file back in the folder. After doing that the ringtones don't show up anymore. What am I doing wrong or can anyone help with this. Really don't want to root at this point.
Thanks
No one knows?
Guess I'll have to root.
I am rooted and still confused. I always thought you could put ringtones, notifications, and alarms under media-->audio on your SD Card (or user storage in this case)—OR create a separate folder for each: ringtones, alarms, notifications on the root of user storage.
But none of these show up in my lists in personalize or under settings-->sound. I don't want to add all of these custom ringtones I've made to the system partition under system/media/audio/ringtones which is where the ringtones that do show up under "sound" or "personalize" actually reside.
What's up with this... Further, a few months ago before some updates, this was working just fine.
have you rebooted? itll show up once you reboot
No.... That's not it. I have been using HTC phones for 5 years. I know how the ringtones/sounds work. This is something else.
If I and maybe the individual who initially created this post above are the only two, then it's just something wonky with the set up.
Could someone just verify it for me?
Take an .mp3 or an .ogg file from your Windows or Linux desktop (I am just going through the steps that once worked perfectly, but now don't work at all), and throw it into Dropbox. Then download it from Dropbox, and stick it into your /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder.... Then reboot.
If you see that file when you are in Settings or elsewhere when you are selecting a ringtone, then it's totally my problem. I have not deleted anything from stock, but I have disabled a lot (but things I wouldn't expect to affect ringtones)...so that could be it.
Also, I had disabled CarrierIQ using a bash script that worked quite nicely...But now am wondering if that could have caused it.
All I know is that in the first few weeks of October, I could put any .mp3, .flac, or .ogg file in the above mentioned folder, and after a restart they were all there.
I am also concerned that maybe the 4.4.4 update might have changed something.
Anyway...whoever can help, I very much appreciate it!
SOLVED:
I read this a couple of other places, but I guess this happens some times with certain folders on your SD Card or personal storage.
Sometimes just deleting and recreating the folder will go the trick. This didn't work for me.
So the next solution is to connect to your laptop, confirm everything is working correctly (HTC Sync needs to be installed which is a nuisance). But then I simply copied my media folder from the phone to my Windows desktop.... And then deleted it in the phone. Then I created an empty folder called "media" on the phone... Then copied the contents of the media folder in my Windows desktop, to the media folder I just created, and then, unplugged.
After reboot, all my ringtones, alarms, and notifications were in the list to choose from.
