I Accidentally Deleted My Copy of Avatar

---

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.
