My phone is a AT&T Galaxy S3, rooted, running M11 (cm11). I have NO sd card in the phone. The internal storage capacity is about 12 GB.
During a recent trip, I used the phone as a storage device, i.e. transfer files from my Canon camera to my phone regularly. I stored about 5GB of files (mostly pictures & videos) from my Canon camera to my Galaxy S3 during the past week during my trip. At the end of the trip, the phone had about 1GB internal storage left.
This afternoon, I copied another big file (a DVD file) to the S3 internal storage, that left only about 400MB of space. I thought that might be too low, so I deleted some apps to free up spaces, it leaves about 700MB space after that.
Then I was going to copy those 5GB pictures & videos from S3 internal storage to my PC, the copy keeps failing. I tried rebooting the phone -- after rebooting, A LOT of my files are gone. Now, the phone has 9GB space left! Looks like a lot of files/folders are gone, it does not appear any apps are gone.
Any one has any idea what might go wrong, obviously, my main concern is to recovery those 5GB pictures & videos from my last trip. Note that those 5GB pictures & videos are originally not in DCIM folder, I put them in a separate folder in the phone.
Since I noticed the lost files, I've stopped using the file to avoid any more writing to the phone. Also, since I've never used a SD card with this phone, I believe it should have nothing to do with LOST.DIR issue. TIA!
