[Q] HELP! Need to restore a backup

so i backed up all my stuff on clockwork, (created a boot.img, cache.ext4. data.ext4, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, and system.ext4 files)
transferred it to my computer.
I got a new nexus..and want to install all these files, but i have no idea, Clockwork does not notice them in restore or anything.
how can i use this backup i created from clockwork?

anyone? noone?

Did you put the back up to the correct folder in your new phone? The files you mentioned should be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/anything/.

/anything?
i put it in somewhat like that, but not anything/ it doesnt show up

Not sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/anything, its sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. Your nandroid folder should be copied to the backup folder. If it's not showing up it could be possible that you have just failed to actually transfer it to your phone

Where abouts I'd the folder.
If if it's on sd card then check what data is in it then yes delete it.
If it is needed it will automatically be made again on reboot.
If in system files then do a backup then delete if phone goes wrong or acts strange you can always but back

It's on the root of the sd card and it's full of video ads and png files probably from games I've downloaded. It's before the .android folder.

If on sd card then you can delete,perhaps show backup of card on pc just incase you need to restore.

Change view mode to view hidden folder. See if that file is present in .Trash folder.
Usually when you delete files in file manager, it is moved to Trash folder similar to Recycle Bin or Linux Trash.

[Q] Emulated Storage Problem

Well ever since I went on to 4.2 my internal drive has emulated and legacy and like 3 versions of my SD card. If I download a file that's a 100 megabytes, my phone triples it and I lose 300 megabytes, my storage folder looks like this,
storage>emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk0
Then in emulated...
emulated>0, legacy
Inside "0" and "legacy" are exact copies of my SD card (sdcard0)
Does anyone know how to remedy this, its ridiculously annoying, thanks in advance...

You could always format data and re-flash your rom. I believe this happened because your recovery was not up to date. Since i have updated to TWRP 2.4.1.0, I do not have this issue. I have read that you can copy the files to where they should be and delete the folders. I would search in this forum for emulated storage and see what comes up.

Ah arite I'll try that, but as for the formating data, I do that every time I flash a ROM (mounts&storage>format data), do you mean formating SD card? But yeah def gonna update my recov. Thanks dudette

Are you sure you lose 3 times the file size in storage space? I don't have a 4.2 ROM, but it looks to me that your files aren't duplicated in multiple folders. Instead, "0" and "legacy" are more than probably just links/shortcuts to the same storage space in your SD card.

Lol yes I'm positive, its ridiculous, and if I delete something on one of the folders, its deleted on all of them, ugh...

Same thing happened on my SGS2 running the newest AOKP. The fix is that you have to format the internal sdcard. There were many users that had multiple "0" folders. I only had one but did notice that I lost some files or thought I did. They were in one of the legacy folders though. They were all my old nandroid backups. So back up anything you need from your internal sdcard to somewhere else and reformat it. Then add them back in. It is a different format on how/where files are stored.

Is just for multiple users. Just Merge them together and update to latest recovery and it won't happen again.

Go to data media folder beside a single 0 folder delete or move everything to data/media to data/media/ 0. Problem solved. If got more then one 0 folder such as data/media/0/0 you will have move everything from the 2nd 0 folder to the first. To repeat data/media should only contain a single folder named 0. Everything should be inside data/media/0 that's your internal sd card. If after you move delete everything in data's media folder a few folders pop back no problem but no files. Look for hidden files. Also update to latest recovery. Data/media old sd. Data/media/0 New sd..
Data/media/0 /0 is old recovery issue A's bad. It won't go away on its own but will stop multiplying once update recovery check my Sig my twrp listed goes drop box with all latest recoverys.
Clean data/media out but check before delete **** if you need anything just move to data media/0 and don't delete the first 0 folder
K buddy good luck search for more info

Help to delete :(

Mod delete when can

Night_Slayer said:
Hello there everyone, I was scrolling through my storage using androzip, when I found this folder called "Discover new apps." I found it weird as I never saw this before and when I tried deleting it....it just won't delete . I tried wiping the internal sd card and using the external as a restore from a way earlier backup and sadly to say it's still there...

Don't worry, it's just a feature in the file manager. It's not a file which is inside your internal or external sd card. It's just in the file manager.
