19 videos corrupted after Ctrl+X (MTP) from Honor 200 Pro to Windows - originals deleted, copied files became 42GB-46GB of zeros. Any recovery possible?

I'm hoping someone with Android/MTP or data recovery experience can help.

Phone: Honor 200 Pro (internal storage)

PC: Windows 11

Transfer method: USB MTP (File Transfer mode)

What happened:

  • I had 82 MP4 videos in: Internal shared storage/DCIM/
  • All videos played normally on the phone.
  • I selected all of them in Windows Explorer and used Ctrl+X (Cut).
  • I pasted them onto my SSD.
  • 63 videos transferred correctly.
  • 19 videos became corrupted.
  • The originals disappeared from the phone.

The corrupted files have very strange behavior:

  • Explorer reports sizes around 46 GB (impossible; they should have been a few hundred MB each).
  • "Size on disk" is only 8 KB.
  • Copying the file tries to copy the full 46 GB.
  • VLC cannot play them.
  • FFmpeg reports:

​

moov atom not found
Invalid data found when processing input

What I've already checked:

  • fsutil file queryextents
  • certutil -dump
  • certutil -hashfile
  • HxD hex editor
  • FFmpeg / FFprobe
  • ADB

Findings:

  • Beginning of the file is all 00.
  • No ftyp.
  • No mdat.
  • No moov.
  • I found stsc and co64 atoms near the end of the file.
  • The co64 chunk offsets all point to locations that contain only 00.
  • Searching for H.264/H.265 start codes found nothing.
  • ADB confirms /sdcard/DCIM/ is now empty.
  • find /sdcard -iname "*.mp4" returns nothing.

The phone has barely been used since this happened.

Question:

  1. Does this look like a known MTP Cut/Move failure?
  2. Is there any possibility the actual video data still exists on the phone even though the directory is empty?
  3. Is there anything else I should try before sending the phone to a forensic recovery lab?

Any advice from people experienced with Android storage, MTP, or forensic recovery would be greatly appreciated.

Can't play age-restricted videos

I'm having this problem while playing age restricted videos on Morphe YouTube (20.51.39). I've updated to the latest version and this dialog pops up, no matter how many times I click on the "Confirm" button, it still pops up right after it. I just can't play age-restricted videos. Anybody knows how to fix?

VIVO X300 ULTRA - HDR Playback issue

HDR playback appears to be broken on the Vivo X300 Ultra, except for YouTube videos and Dolby Vision videos recorded with the phone's own camera.

To test this, I played multiple HDR test files on my Vivo X300 Ultra and found that around 9 out of 10 videos do not display HDR correctly. Even when the Gallery app labels a video as "HDR," the phone seems to tone-map it to SDR instead of rendering it in proper HDR.

I also noticed that the HDR/SDR ratio in Developer Options appears to be malfunctioning. The value does not increase when HDR content is playing, including HDR videos on YouTube.

In the screenshots, the first image is from the Vivo X300 Ultra and the second is from my Honor 200 Pro. Both devices were tested with the same file and identical settings. The Honor 200 Pro displays all HDR test files correctly, while the Vivo fails to do so.

I've spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting this issue(HW/HW+/SW decoding, tweaking some settings in the Developer options, multiple media players) but haven't been able to find a solution. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem on the Vivo X300 Ultra?

HDR issue on my new phone

Hello, so previously I had Honor 200 Pro and there was no issue, but I have now switched to Vivo X300 Ultra and weirdly dolby vision HDR videos won't display properly at all. Sometimes videos get oversaturated and no HDR displays on many occasions. Any fix?

Imaging grip doesn't charge my Vivo X300 Ultra

So when I connect the imaging grip to my Vivo X300 Ultra, a pop up appears and in the camera settings I can also see it, but it is always stuck at 98% and it is not charging the phone back... Isn't it meant to charge the phone like a powerbank? The imaging grip battery doesn't deplete no matter how much camera I use with it

Notification issue while downloading in incognito mode

So whenever I'm downloading something in the incognito mode in Google Chrome, one extra ghost notification “Waiting for network” would pop up, if I click on that notification, nothing shows up. This ghost notification would come up for every single file I download in the incognito mode and I've to cancel them manually which is incredibly frustrating. It's not a device specific issue either. I had this issue on previous phone also. Anybody knows how to fix it? I'm using 148.0.7778.178 version currently

Deleted images and videos

Anybody knows what is “vivoMediaData > .hide” directory? I turned on “Show hidden files” on the file manager and when I scrolled down at the bottom I found that folder and upon opening up “.hide” folder inside that folder, I found several images and videos I took a while ago, but I have deleted all of them and yes also from the “Recently Deleted”. So why were those images and videos sitting inside that folder? I didn't do anything or tried to hide anything. Anybody knows?

Vivo X300 Ultra - Camera Samples

Some of the photos I took using the 400mm lens. Let me know what you think of the photos (not a pro photographer haha). The output is really great and even in 1600mm if you don't zoom in, you won't notice the AI processing, you can definitely post them on social medias. Let me know if you want the files of these photos.

Vivo X300 Ultra (Indian Unit)

I bought this beast 2 days ago for ₹1,85,997 (400mm lens + imaging grip kit)... I'll be posting the pictures taken by me. This is my first ever flagship device, I used to use Honor 200 Pro.

Few things I don't like about the phone is that there are certain Vivo apps that you cannot uninstall or disable (even with ADB). I do not like the icon designs, I do not even like they way it looks to be honest... Looks very generic in my opinion. OriginOS is okay-ish.

Also are you guys using any screen protectors? (I've removed the pre-installed plastic film)

Account Deactivated

Hi, on 19th May I receive an email from OpenAI that a warning has been imposed on my account due to Fraudulent Activities within my account. I had never asked or did anything even remotely close, so I had appealed instantly and they said they are upholding their decision. Today (21st May), they have deactivated my account. I cannot access the chats or do anything, I had a membership but most importantly there were many important messages and I don't have any access to it.
