I installed Redemption Rom 2.3 last week. So far luv it....it fixed all the issues I was having with stock. The main issue.......lots of times I could not answer the phone!
Anyway...I only have a 2gb SD card. I was looking at it today and there is a folder (unzipped) that says "Redemption Rom". In it, is the contents of the zipped file I downloaded and installed. My guess is that during the installation, the zipped file got unzipped here.
I'd like to delete it but want to be sure.
Thx in advance......
Lou used to make an additional/optional apps folder that installed w/ his ROMs.
Does this folder have apps in it that are not in the ROM?
As long as that folder isn't the optional apps folder, you should be fine to delete it.
Likewise, if you have a RR optional apps folder and no interest in those apps, you can delete those too.
Assuming you have a backup of your current RR setup already before you delete this folder?
dunno....i'll have to look at it....its on my other pc
thx
As I've done a a handful of times, I was switching roms and did a data wipe. At that point it did something different and wiped my SD card. I thought I lost all my data, but my original backup is now located in /0/0/clockworkmod/backup -- but nothing I do can restore it. My computer won't copy it, clockworkmod doesn't recognize it, and a restore from the clockworkmod rom doesn't work....
Any ideas?
You need to move it outside of the 0 folders. The clockworkmod folder should be placed in /data/media. Easiest way would probably be to flash twrp from here http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr/Flashable_recovery_US_GS3/TWRP2.3.zip using cwm and then select advance>reboot recovery. Then youll boot into twrp where you want to hit advance> file manager and go to data/media/0/0/ and move the clockworkmod folder to data/media. Once its there flash back to cwm using one from here

I've tried moving it. It's a very large file, and it seems to get corrupted during the move.
My SDCARD now looks like this
0/
legacy/
obb/
Inside 0/ is all the normal folders such as data, downloads, etc. While inside the rom or windows, I can not access the root sdcard folder.
Try the way I mentioned above.
I'll give it a try if this doesn't work. There's a bunch of folders such as /sdcard and /storage. Inside of /storage there is /storage/sdcard1 (internal) /storesdcard2 (external) and /storage/emulated
I'm using Cyanogen 10 on my Galaxy S3 btw. I've never seen clockworkmod put in /data/media. I'm copying it to /storage/emulated since there is a 0 and a legacy folder inside.
Because /data/media and /sdcard were the same thing. Google changed that with 4.2 which is why you now have 0 folders. Clockworkmod still sees it the old way as data/media. Trust me on this the more you play around moving stuff inside /storage and /sdcard. The more screwed up and confusing this will get.

Makes sense. I updated to a new nightly of CM10, which put me on 4.2. I didn't like the way it was setup, so I tried to revert back. I'm not sure why I'm doing all this work when I have a titanium backup from last night.
It's still pasting.
Check when its done the layout should be /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/nameofbackup/stuff inside
Well, I don't think it's going to work.
I'll give your method a try, but I moved my SD card to /storage/emulated where it showed up, and it gave me an error restoring storage. Inside clockworkmod is my backup and files.
Edit: It appears everything is a symlink. /sdcard, /data/media, and /storage/emulated are all the same symlink'ed folder.

Well you're the expert. Swear it looked like u were asking since you posted in the q&a.

There's no need to be passive aggressive. All I'm saying is it won't restore due to an error in the backup after moving it.
Well, I used a different file manager to move it to the same location (Root Explorer), and it works fine now. I still had to move all my files back from /0, but at least it's not fubar'ed. I'll wait for 10.1 to become more stable before I switch.
Sorry to hijack this thread, but I've had exactly the same problem and despite following the instructions in here (moving clockworkmod/backup to data/media with a root file explorer) nothing has changed.
The error shown in the log is as follows:
Error whilst restoring /system!
I: Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia
I: Can't format unknown volume: emmc
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - an entire afternoon and evening on google have so far yielded nothing but nonsense!
Thanks,
Will
The SD card file path issue (from the op and the most recent hijacker) reads like something that just happened to me too.
I installed a nightly cm update and then it went bad. Recovery wouldn't work, but file explorers looked OK. Recovery wouldn't even see zip files that were moved into the available directories for install.
I finally was able to use ROM manager to install rom updates and gapps.

I got a manufacturer refurbished SPH-l710 on ebay, signed in to google, auto updated to 4.4.2
I rooted w/towelroot, used flashify to flash PhilZ Touch 6.48.4
I did a backup, said successful, files show in clockworkmod/backup but ES file explorer can't read or copy to PC
Do I need to do something to get access to these files?
Is there a way to verify a backup so I don't brick the phone restoring something corrupted?
Any help is much appreciated

why don't you try using the Windows File explorer that's on your PC if you have Windows vista-8.1 cause that's what i use when transferring files from my phone's internal storage or external SD to my PC or the other way around
I can copy files from the S3 with windows 7 file explorer, a titanium backup copied fine, clockworkmod folder copied files but all 0 bytes.
The problem is not just copy to pc, every app I try gives an error trying to read the CWM backup files.
Philz offers to restore them but if it gets a read error what happens?

I am also having the same problem. Factory reset works. But is there any other way to remove the files? All show as 0 byte files. When I try to use rm, chmod or even pull, "Permission Denied" is shown.
Code:
[email protected]_T00J:/mnt/shell/emulated/0 # ls -l
ls -l
lstat './aromafm' failed: Permission denied
lstat './aromafm.zip' failed: Permission denied

Any way to fix this? Those files are eating around 800MB of my Internal Storage
Hello... already tried to find fota file in cache but it not inside cache folder... please help me. last time already finish download update software for KitKat 4.4. I want to delete the folder aorund 400MB in my internal...
are you rooted ? and what file manager are you using to view the contents of the SD card ?
you may need to enable it to show hidden files
as it is usually in the root of /cache
My internal sdcard (/mnt/sdcard) suddenly appears empty will all of the files located at /mnt/shell/emulated/0 (or /data/media/0)
All seems to run OK, but what could have happened? Is this simply an internal Android symlink that lost its way? Can I reconnect to more easily view these files and the download folder?
Thanks
Edit: Looks like I solved my own problem. The PlayStore offered to update SuperSU to v2.65 (from v2.49) which I had accepted. Reverting back solved the issue.
