Anyone kind enough to help me with my system folder? |

Ok, i was trying to clean up my c memory with fileman, so i started deleting files and of course the inevitable happened, and i deleted some files that were really important.......
I tried a master reset, but thats pretty useless, so i formatted the internal disc; assuming that it would be a total clean up, and the system files would be restored from the rom drives. This wasn't the case either, cos i still had a load of junk left in the memory after the 'format'.
So of course i ended up having to send it off to SE, who decided a firmware upgrade would be my best option.
I just got my phone back, and to my dismay the same problems still prevail. Obviously, SE (mobile repair) have made a backup, upgraded the firmware, and restored the original corrupted file structure!! (duh)
Anyway my point is; could anyone send me a list of the contents of their c:/system folder? Maybe then i could compare it with the contents of my own system folder, and figure out which files are missing. Then i'd be a step closer to restoring them. Im guessing that restoring lost files might solve the problems im having....?
Obviously the cleaner the folder is, the better.
The files i lost were installation files mostly i think.
Basically my p800 wont recognise .sis, mp4 or mp3 files when i download them with opera. Reinstalling opera didnt work....
Man its irritating! Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

have you tried a master reset since the update?
I ended up doing mine about 4 times to make sure it was clear - and it worked a treat...
I don't think recreating folder structures is going to help you too much to be honest.

@ jackblue,
The Master Reset is good enough. What I did the last time is perform a Master Reset, follow by Formating Internal Disk... everything back to factory setting...
Another suggestion if it is not troublesome, take your phone to any SE Center to re-flash the firmware again... this always works...
Good luck. |

yes, ive master reset and formatted the internal disc several times, but unfortunately this does not restore lost files, it just seems be a half ass clean up of the memory. (my colour scheme and device lock code were still there, for example).
ill probably get it reflashed, and make sure they dont restore a backup this time.
im still keen for someone to send me their system folder details though, id like to try that first.
cheers
