I Accidentally Deleted My Copy of Avatar - Vibrant General

Something went horribly amiss while trying to transfer the movie from the preinstalled 2 gig to my 8 gig memory card. Although I was able to play the movie one time on my vibrant, the Avatar icon now says "File Not Found" when clicked. I cleared the 2 gig sd card before giving it away so now I'm left without a copy. Is there anyway I could procure a copy from a forum member or is the issue phone related?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you moved avatar.dcf you're fine. The icon is set for a specific location which would be where it was on the SD card before and now that it's not, the shortcut icon doesn't work. I moved my copy of Avatar to the internal SD card with EStrongs File Manager (Copy not cut).

Well I click on the folder named Movie on my SD card, but it is no longer there. I'm not sure what I should do? Could Samsung give me another copy or am I just out of luck?

In worst case senario..you can reflash the phone with the rom dump thats in the Android Development section here...

Will that require root? I've rooted my old MyTouch so I'm not worried about that, but I don't think I'm quite ready to root this phone.

The rom dump that was posted by Wes doesn't include Avatar.

i was actually wondering where Avatar went, but thanks to this thread I know that's because it is on the SD card and not internal storage.

Funny, I accidentally deleted my copy of avatar as well. One of the first things I did was take a few test videos, to get a feel for the quality, and when I was going through removing them I clicked the wrong thing and avatar was gone.
No big deal though, I didn't really want to watch it for the fourth time anyway.

I accidentally deleted Avatar through camcorder app as well. There is no file info given and just a plain "broken" icon, so I deleted it. No warning from the OS either. Lame. T-mobile store would not replace the phone without a restocking fee (manager was a nightmare). I called Samsung and was told that since the movie is installed after-market on the external SD, there is nothing they can do to replace the file. So it is all on TMO to help anyone with this issue. TMO customer care does not have a direct link to a download and will not send a replacement SD. Finally I got the rep at the store to agree to swap my SD with the next Vibrant return that comes in. That's good enough for me. Avatar is waaaay to easy to inadvertently delete from the phone without warning. Be careful.

I HAD the same problem. I put the movie on a 16GB SDHD and the link broke, as in "File Not Found" The folder I put it in I called 'Movies' and it should have been 'Movie'. Once I took the s off of the folder name the link worked again.

Do you have AIM? PM me your AIM and I can send the file to you directly. It might take a while, but hey...at least you'll get it.
Funny how out of all the responses, no one even offered a solution.

The solution you offered Violates the DRM
He took the proper steps, TMO should have been able to help him

So is there no way to get it back if it was accidentally deleted? I contacted both Tmobile and Samsung and neither provided me any help. I'd really like the movie if someone could assist!

You could try to go a T-mobile store and see if they have any in returns (which might be hard I haven't had any returned yet) and see if they can swap out the 2gig card for you.

The problem being that each copy of the file is licensed to an individual phone - even if you get another copy, it may not play.

I actually JUST left the store minutes ago...(bought a gel case...$16.99, lol)
He actually said they haven't had ANY returns, and they've sold about 70 phones which he was SURPRISED at...he said it's unlike any other phone he's sold(and that it's made him a few dollars this month.)
Any other options? or do I just wait for a return?

i accidentally deleted avatar too. but thankfully the tmo store by my job had a return. they swaped out the sd cards and it works. you may have to wait awhile for a return but atleast you'll get it back. the only other way i can think of is if you have the dvd you could rip the movie and put it on your phone.

OK, well if this is true, I stand corrected: I guess the DRM isn't tied to an individual device.

You know what's funny? I deleted it on purpose. Don't get your panties in a bunch it's just a movie.

Same issue, movie just got deleted. This wan't an issue of the file being moved, it just vanished. Took it to local Tmobile store where they swapped my Vibrant with a new one. Employee said this has been happening with some frequency, files and apps just get deleted with no explaination. Happy with the new phone, GPS works 100x's better the previous one.

Storage memory or RAM???
Any emails or SMS's you get should also be stored on the sd card. Also, use an explorer app to check your device, usually apps you have installed actually install to the device instead of sd card like you wanted, Tomtom was a good example of this. Just copy these problem apps to the sd card but don't forget to delete the old shortcut and make a new one so they still work.
Try to get rid of those ringtones sometimes supplied in the roms as these are a waste of space, especially if you are gonna use an MP3 as a ringtone.I did find, however, that you do need to have the message tones stored in windows directory on the device, just can't seem to find them on the sd card.
If its RAM, then there are apps using it. Try to get an app killer so it frees up some ram when you finish using them.
Just a few things you might like to check.
Cheers...

[HELP] My phone is acting up!..

Alright well randomly when i would go to the photo album i could scroll through a few photos, then "We're Sorry..." A problem has occured with Manila.exe
I did some research and people that tried formating their SD Card, got it to work again. Well since it worked for them i decided to try it...not knowing its just going to delete everything from my SD Card...So I deleted everything from my SD Card.. now what? I take it i should do a factory reset? Will that put all the default stuff back on the SD Card, like Transformers 1 & 2?
At the moment i writing all my contacts down...but can someone please help me figure this out? I just wanna go to bed cause i got work in the morning..
The HTC HD2 is such a hassle, theres always something wrong with it.
The movies are gone. Sorry. Do a backup or copy sdcard contents to your desktop next time.
Nope. You should always back up your content that is on your SD card before you format. Its gone for good.
Well **** my lifeee. Ok would T-Mobile be able to fix this? Cause this is just getting too confusing. I hate this phonneee...also my phone isnt reading my SD Card.

Do you have it connected to the PC in "disk drive" mode? If so, your phone won't see your SD card while it's connected that way, only while it's connected via activesync.
Hmm, well yes it was lol. Is there a site or some source i can just download the default SD Card files from?

Not the movies. The games etc can be found in the sticky at the top of this section titled "Links to cabs, ROMS, how to's, & Jaime's "New to WinMo & Absolute newbie tweak guide"...in there are links with all the other stock apps from the HD2 (and a bunch of other stuff you should probably check out).
You might be able to go to a T-Mo store and see if they will swap out your sdcard with one from a return unit.
Don't give up on your hd2, it is a great phone. Everyday I find something new about my phone that makes me happy I went with it. WinMo is complicated, but once you get it set up, it runs really well.
Well im kinda stuck with this phone for 2 years. Not much I can do. So far it pisses me off alot, like when i receive a text, my phone freezes for about like 15 seconds while it loads to my phone. That and the fact its slow and it just fails as an OS.

You really need to read that new-to-winmo guide in the thread I mentioned above. In fact, here's the direct link for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688928
Then go back and read everything else in that thread I pointed you to...with a little care, WM can be a wonderful OS...I wouldn't trade it for any other, personally. There's solutions for every one of the issues you've mentioned, if you'll just take the time to read and learn here at xda.
I believe there is s fix for the text lag, but I don't know where it is. I must be lucky because I don't have the text or music tab lags. I have around 500 texts with about 350 from one person and I get very little lag loading messages and I have 8 plus gb of music and the sense music player works great.
Try Cookies Home Tab or maybe one of the custom roms.
Okay well I still cant view my photos without "Manila.exe" to crash. Should I just restore my phone, or is there a fix.

Yes if it's still doing that after the card reformat, a hard-reset might be the best shot at clearing it up. Are these pics you've taken with the camera, or ones you copied to your SD card? If it's the latter, how many pics do you have on there?
Also, just fyi, you don't have to write your contacts down to save them...if you just run the myphone app that's already on your phone, it will back them up along with your text messages, and allow you to restore them to the phone after a hard-reset or a ROM flash.
Well i saved a bunch of pictures i got off google on too my phone, and thats when it started having the error. Um where is the myphone app located?
You can copy all your contacts to your sim card instead of writing them down...just saying to save you some time.

or use mobile back up.
But make sure your MicroSD isn't corrupt. Try a different MicroSD and see if it works. It might be the card reader in the phone.
Might be able to get a warranty replacement if that is the case.
Im just going to use Microsoft My Phone its easier, and i dont have to click one by one just to add contacts to my sim card. Um im sure my SD card is fine, it just has nothing on it lol. Im going to run the the T-Mobile store tomorrow and see if then can exchange the SD card for one with all the default stuff on it.
Alright well i backed up everything i needed on Microsoft My Phone. Now im just going to do the hard reset.

Once you've done that, just run the myphone app again...it will have you sign in, then it will update the app, and then it will download the contacts and messages etc back down to your phone.

Just realized files have gone missing/deleted from the external card

I just came across this realization last night, and it is very, very disconcerting - to say the least.
I have had my EVO since day one launch - no problems with it. I am not rooted, and have the latest OTA update applied.
I actually have the two Transformers moves from the HD2 on my memory card from a friend, as well as a couple more he ripped/formatted for our phones (he now has an EVO as well). The night before last I was bored/tired and stayed up in bed watching parts of both films. One day later (last night) I was out with friends and one of them asked me to show another how good the video looks on our phones. I fired up Meridian (what I always use to watch movies on the EVO) and was shocked to find the two TF films were nowhere to be found. What's more, the listing of "VIDEO00__" files from the EVO camcorder seemed suspiciously short - like some of those were missing, too. Now, I know that at least the TF films were on there the night before.
I got home, removed the card from the phone and fired it up on my laptop. I used two file recovery programs: Recuva and Pandora Recovery (both free) to analyze the card. I found the Transformers files as if they'd been deleted. I also found a whole host of other files that have been deleted. The vast majority of them seemed to be media of some sort, from photos to Video files (taken with the phone). Since most of the media produced from the phone are "IMAG00__.jpg" or "VIDEO00__.3gp" and I DO manually delete some of them time to time, it was hard to tell what was intentionally deleted and what wasn't. HOWEVER, there were definitely media files I would NOT have deleted, like pictures from my Wallpapers folders, photos from other folders I manually renamed based on the content, etc.
I don't know how long this has been going on - I know that the file recovery program Recuva tell you what file overwrote another. Using that, I could see that a movie I would not have deleted (Iron Man) was overwritten with a photo taken with the phone that, based on the file number, was taken on or about July 4th. Flipping through my video gallery, I am certain I am missing many of those, too, as videos from a certain event (family gathering) that I know I had a handful of files for now only have one.
I've had the phone now for basically a month and a half - and while I am normally good about backing up here and there I have neglected to do so often with my EVO as I've been very busy (getting married in about a month) and I didn't think I'd need to have a backup short of physically losing the phone (have never lost a phone). This realization scares the heck out of me, and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced it or has any ideas about it. Until last night when I happened to be looking for a specific file(s) I used the night before, I didn't have any idea this was happening.
If it helps, in between the night when I watched the movies that later went missing and the night I realized they were gone I connected my EVO to the computer via USB to transfer a file and charge it. I realized recently whenever I connected the phone the computer would automatically read/access the card without me ever having to choose the option from the pull down menu. I thought that maybe that kind of activity could be the root cause of missing files (you know how flash drives don't like to be fiddled with while reading/writing). I did some searching before starting this post and found out that behavior is caused by a setting in DoubleTwist which I have since changed. Still, I have a hard time believing that's the root cause of files which just seem to be deleted without me ever doing it.
Any thoughts or ideas? Any way you members can check to see if you seem to be missing any media (or other) files?
Sounds like phone corrupted card. Sorry, you're sol. There's another couple of posts relating to this subject and a possible remedy for future occurrences with this problem. Either look for post with subject of corrupt card or files disappear. It's in the same section as this one, you might have to look through a few pages before you see them. Good luck.

Really? I'll look for them but I would have thought a corrupt card would manifest in some other way - like not functioning when you try to record or save something, not systematically deleting files. Strange.

I've only used my voice recorder a few times. After reading this, maybe I won't anymore.
I just had to chime in that this very thing happened to me and with the same movies that i got from the files of the hd2.
All i know is that i had a gig or so left on my card and then the next day i had over 6 left.
The good thing is i had the card and all its content backed up on the wifes computer.

Update:
I used that recuva you recommended and it worked! Got all my pics back. I've been wondering what on earth caused it to be lost in the first place because I haven't installed anything lately. I am rooted and I noticed alot of titanium backup files were also gone. Sprite backup files were gone. A mystery indeed. I've learned my lesson though. Backup. More. Frequently.

Lost avatar...

Ok so I did something pretty stupid and tried to let my friend copy avatar to his HD2 and it ended up locking the file. For some reason the movie itself is in 3gp format and not dcf like everyone else said from what I searched but I do remember it being in dcf before. Now the movie won't play and it says "unsupported file type". How can I possibly get this back? I know xda doesn't condone posting up movies so maybe someone could email it to me? Help me out here please.
Try renaming it back to the original extension .dcf. Are your sure its not the trailer you are seeing that is in .3gp format? The trailer is supposed to be in 3gp and the actual movie should be dcf
how are you suppose to rename it back...? No i'm not getting it mixed up with the trailer. Both of them are in 3gp. Like I said, I do remember it being in dcf before.

Transfer the file back to your computer and rename it back (windows: right click rename) then transfer it back to your phone, or on your phone download and open a 3rd party file manager and long click on the file and select rename.
you can't rename the file type. That doesn't work...
send me ur email i have files saved to my computer
I have never had a problem renaming the file type. It obvously got renamed somehow if it is a 3gp now. Unless you tried to convert it.

This happened to me, the exact same thing... How did I solve this problem?
I went back to T-Mobile playing stupid, like I didn't do anything and told them I tried to open the movie and doesn't work, like it came defective or something. The went to the back and replaced my SD for one from a new phone... DONE!! just don't tell them you tried to copy it or anything... it just doesn't work and never did!
for future reference... copy the file to the main memmory on the phone, then insert the SD from the HD2, then copy from the phone to the SD... done! it won't lock
It aint gonna play in any other device but a Vibrant anyway.
Download Astro file manager, look for the SD folder and tap it to open, look for Movie and tap it, then long-press on the avatar.3gp file and tap edit, then tap rename.

I tried going to tmobile and getting an SD card from one of the returned vibrants but the rep working told me that swapping out sd cards wouldn't fix it. I knew he was completely wrong but I just went along with what he said anyways cause there was probably no convincing him to give me another card. I just ended up calling samsung for a replacement card. All I have to do is ship mine out and they'll send me one back.
Well I was about to mail it out to samsung but forget that now. Renaming it with astro worked! Thanks!
good thing it worked. I f'ed up mines the first day LOL cuz I was trying to put my SD from my old HD2 (16gb) and on the copy process I screwed it, but like I said, they swaped it at tmobile, so he was just talking crap or didn't have one to give you

I'm confused. You think losing Avatar is a BAD thing??? Hell, the first thing I did on my phone - even before I left the TMO store - was to pull that Avatar-containing card out and replace it with another one. Without blue people on it.
So, anyone know how to fix it when I play Avatar, and it tells me "Sorry, License Expired"

Bought a used Nook Color, can't register device because previous owner had

This is a stock, unrooted Nook Color I bought on Craigslist. I bought it from somebody by calling the number, not emailing them and I no longer have their number. Apparently the only way I can register the device is for the person who registered it to call Barnes and Noble, add a credit card to the account, and say they want it deregistered. I have no way of contacting the person, am I out of luck? I sold it on eBay to someone without knowing this would happen and I really don't want them to have to return it. I read around a bit but found no solution short of rooting it which they can't do themselves.
Thanks, Cory

I had a very similar experience but luckily I still had the previous owner's email address and she was kind enough to call the B&N 800 number to deregister it for me.
With that said, I've read somewhere there was some magical "factory reset" that could deregister the device but I can't remember where.
You say the current owner who you sold it to can't root it. Why? If the answer is "because they're not very technical..." then perhaps you could assist them (I don't know how invested you are in helping them) in the rooting process?
I have several 2GB microSD cards that are bootable that have ClockworkMod Recovery on them with the last stable CyanogenMod 7.1 and Google Apps files on them ready to flash. Even if somebody wasn't very technical I can't imagine it would be very hard to help them if they had one of these cards or another one you or someone else could make and send to them?
Anyway, PM me if you want one of my pre-made cards. I'm only asking for $8/each (only with Paypal). I also have a 8GB card I'll let go for $12 if that's more attractive.
The person doesn't want it rooted, I asked. She got offended when I asked...
EDIT: I explained it more to her and she seemed to understand. With your MicroSD card, is it just putting in the SD card to get it to boot into Android? Thanks.

That stinks. I guess try to be honest with the buyer. I guess there are some benefits to the stock ROM like using it for children's books, etc., so maybe they have a valid reason. The word "root" might just be scary too.

It's not "that easy"
You put in the card and it boots into ClockworkMod. The user then would have to select the update file to install and then when it's finished pop the sd card out and then reboot it. Then after it boots (or while the boot animation is playing) they would pop the card back in. Then after the NC is finished loading they would (if they don't want it to always boot off of the card) rename the 4 boot files on the card (like adding .bak on the end of each). You may not have to rename all 4 files but I do just for giggles. I do this instead of deleting them so if I need to boot off the card then I just have to rename them back and remove the .bak from each.
mlo --> mlo.bak
u-boot.bin --> u-boot.bin.bak
uImage --> uImage.bak
uRamdisk --> uRamdisk.bak
There is an auto-install image in the Development forum but I liked having more control. So I made these cards with ClockworkMod and included the last stable CM 7.1 along with the last Google Apps and the Amazon App Store apk just for good measure.
If you want to take a crack at creating a auto-install sd card the instructions in the Dev forum are pretty easy to follow.
Okay, thanks, I'm waiting for her to let me know if its' okay.

I have several 2GB microSD cards that are bootable that have ClockworkMod Recovery on them with the last stable CyanogenMod 7.1 and Google Apps files on them ready to flash. Even if somebody wasn't very technical I can't imagine it would be very hard to help them if they had one of these cards or another one you or someone else could make and send to them?
Anyway, PM me if you want one of my pre-made cards. I'm only asking for $8/each (only with Paypal). I also have a 8GB card I'll let go for $12 if that's more attractive.
