[Q] File transfer to internal and sd fail. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

s4 verizon
i have searched up and down for some one with a similar issue. i have recently rooted and flashed a rom, i had a few failed attempts with twerp flashing a rom so gave up and flashed back to stock and file transferring is still messed up. only way to get data on my phone is to download it directly to my phone using my phone (roms through xda app)
i am currently running synergy rom fully rooted.
any help or ideas would help.
i have re re re re re installed samsung drivers a ton. i even went as far to install kies..
i have even restored the dell computer i have.. and made sure everything is up to date.
i have posted a screen of the
"Cannot copy item..." notification i get.
UPDATE-
so i tried putting the file in a folder and transferring it and it worked,,, wtf.
still my question is out there,,, is this a hidden android thing that will be on new devices??? or is this the computers fault? should i do a compleate restore to stock on this computer
?

I was having a similar issue and found that apps like titanium backup may restore a system app from another rom that would make my phone act like your phone. Do you use titanium backup?

i actually do use ti.. but not yet on this phone. i found that simply placing the file in a folder and then copying works. for whatever reason.

Have you tried a different usb port? Do you have a different cable to try?
Tried everything nothing worked so tmobile is sending me a new phone this week. Now I have to find a way to get my files and settings to new phone.

Install a file manager to copy all of the files from the internal sd to your external sd.
Install Titanium backup from the market to backup all settings and apps.
Upgrade your new phone to the same version you have on your current phone and then restore the backup with Titanium and then either leave the copied files on the external sd or place them back onto the internal sd by using the file manager again.
Done and done!
That sux but at least tmobile is willing to switch it out for ya. Just do a nandroid bro and pull the backup file. When you get ur new phone root it and flash whatever rom ur nandroid is. Replace backup file, restore nandroid and u should be good to go. Just make sure u are on the same type of firmware as the restore, if ur backup is 2.2.1 and u are running a 2.1 Rom when you try to restore ur gonna bootloop. Good luck!

reInstall 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU data needed

I installed the update yesterday and got the following problem:
After updating wireless is stuck and won't either turn on or off.. in settingsmenu on the wlan activate button it just says "error" in the second line. on push it says "activating" for some time the drops back to "error".
So my question: Does anyone have a copy or I don't know what of this update so I could try to intall it again? But I only want the original one..
Or if there's a way to correct it without installing the whole update again I'm of course open to.
PS: Moto Support just says Factory reset but there is upfront no way I am doing this without having tried anything else..
I had the same problem but not with wireless, with mobile data. Only thing that sorted it was a factory reset unfortunately. Not as bad if you use an app like app backup and restore and copy all of your phone storage to computer and back again after factory reset but still a pain

Thanks for the reply.
Do I remember right that you must be rooted to do a backup of phone data? Because then I'm screwed! Or is there another way or a software only running on the computer?
I wasn't rooted when I did it. I just backed up all my apps except system apps using app backup and restore, connected razr to PC in mass storage mode, copied the whole contents of the internal memory to my PC, did a factory reset, reinstalled app backup and restore, allowed non market apps in application settings, copied everything back from the PC, ran app backup and restore and reinstalled my apps. Note the order as back up apps are saved on the internal memory.
May be an easier way to do it though. I don't know if it would do the same with the motocast USB backup?

What do you mean with that? Why should I notice that and where can I see that (if I loke at it in explorer the apps are in alphabetical order..).
I don't know Motocast function but it seems pretty much more complex than just copy paste.. at least to me as I also never used it.
I did a factory reset, problem stays the same: error in wifi. Can someone provide me the update to flash it again and see if it helps? The only other way is to send to repair which I would not like to do..
I just flashed it on mine and everything went well. I think you might have to go to the recovery mode and do factory reset.
Good luck.

Has anyone here used motocast backup on their PC as it appears to back up the full internal memory? If anyone has, do you know if it puts your apps back on when you restore?

I think it won't do.. I think I remember to have read, but am not sure.
Can anyone make a nandroid with this update and upload somewhere(only need system)
Enviado desde mi XT910 usando Tapatalk
Did the update (from the other post) again, worked fine, but the problem with wireless still stays the same.. has anyone ideas how to solve?
PS: Could I try to flash an old OTA Update file in the same manner and then update again or wouldn't that work out?
Had the same error with my wifi a while back, but that was before the update. I went ahead and had the phone replaced because i was not able to get a solution.
no love for the nandroid?
come on guys.......

Did you get a new phone or what did they do?
I upgraded to this one through rds lite. But it doesn't seem as quick as the 651.167.19 upgraded to. 21 through moto cast.
Anyway to get back to that? Is rds safe. As in can i flash the .19 through rds without damaging my phone?
Many thanks.

Titanium Backup...

I've just reflashed a new build of this custom ROM I'm using (Super Nexus to be precise) now I've done this before and the restore went fine but now I'm having trouble.
For whatever reason Titanium Backup can't find the apps to restore.. or anything for that matter. I have copied a folder containing all the apps that I backed up on both internal & external SD.
Can anybody help me out? it's annoying me now
Go to preferences and look for backup location.

Help I can't see some files after flashing CM 10.1

Hello, I have AT&T HTC One rooted bulletproof kernel lastest baseband I think it's .24 and the thether hack and TWRP.
I flash CM 10.1 then I want to go back to my recently done backup and it wasn't there, none of my backups but the data ware on my phone. I don't know why TWRP don't see it. I downloaded some apps to try to restore until it suddenly appeared. I restore it but some applications don't have the data. Just like if it was recently downloaded from the playstore. Even the backups from titanium. It's there but I can't do anything with it because titanium don't see it. Can any one tell me what's happening???
I look on the files on my sd card I notice that for some reason maybe I did something wrong but all my new data its being save on a file call sdcard0 and it's not on my main directory. I have to go to data/sdcard0 and there are my new information. I don't understand why that is happening it should be sdcard no sdcard0.

TWRP + TiBu Update.zip

Hi all, question about creating an update.zip of my apps in TiBu and flashing it using TWRP. I backed up all my user apps and then generated the update.zip file. Booted into recovery, erased, installed CM 10.1, Google Apps, then flashed in the update.zip. I booted up my phone and CM loaded just fine. When I went into my app drawer, however, none of my apps were there. Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks for the help.
I had a similar issue but found that just backing up and restoring through TiBu was far more effective than using the zip method. I am not exactly sure why. Are you able to restore the apps through TiBu without the zip? Also, does the issue persist if you install the rom that the apps were backed up on and then restored using the zip? That may help narrow your issue.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't tried installing through TiBu. I just flashed the nandroid backup which brought me back to the previous version (stock Android). I read somewhere that the update may not work because TWRP doesn't allow for file sizes over 2gb or something.
I managed to get the zip file to work (the first zip I made was only 3mb), and I flashed it. However, for a lot of apps I had problems. The window would pop up and the circle would spin, but eventually I would get an error. So I had to restore my backups through TiBu anyway.

I would install the rom and gapps, let it boot, then boot back in to recovery to install the update.zip (I always rename mine to apps.zip)
