make sure there are no checks in the boxes of system and data then mount it as for the rest your on your own. why would you attempt to do something of this nature in a moment of urgency???

In twrp when you go to mount there should only be checks in cache and sdcard then it will mount fine
Josepho1997 said:
Oh yeah, and after I wiped my Sdcard, but found out it wouldn't mount, I did fastboot oem format. But when I did that and looked at my Sdcard, there was a lot of stuff still on my Sdcard, like Hashcode's Jellybean ROM, even though I wiped it. Is that supposed to happen?

My phone is currently not working at all so I would really appreciate some help. I was running MMuzzy's 4.2 JB ROM (Around the 12/16/12 Version) and I decided to update to the 1/11/13 ROM version. So I installed the files onto my phone and rebooted into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and installed the files form SD Card. After this, I chose reboot system and it just went straight back into recovery. New ROM wouldn't load. I was an idiot and did not do a backup of my previous rom because I thought it would be a flawless process since I was updating to a new version of the same ROM. So I have no backup to access right now. An odd thing I noticed is when I "chose ZIP from SD card" multiple options such as 0/ and obb came up instead of just showing the files in my SD card. Right now to access my files I have to choose ZIP from sd card, choose 0/, 0/ again, 0/again, and then I can see my ROM and gapps zip files. Since the New rom didnt work I did a factory reset and wiped everything and tried to install the Zips again. Still nothing. Also, the phone can't find any of my old backups. I suspect this has something to do with the odd formatting issue and 0/ and obb folders showing up but I have no idea. What should I do? At this point I don't care If I lose everything on my sd card I just want my phone working.
Thanks
in mounts and storage mount /data then
adb push ROM.zip /data/media
then unmount and it should be there on the root of your "sdcard"
Edit- but if you have 3 "0" folders then you will have to change it from data/media to data/media/0/0/0

Okay. Any way someone can give me a more detailed step by step on how to do these instructions? Sorry I'm pretty much a noob at this and I barely remember the ADP stuff I did on my mac when I first rooted my phone.
Thanks a lot

If you're a n00b then flashing a new ROM without knowing how to fix an issue wasn't the best idea was it?
The best solution I can give is to flash back to 100% stock and then start again once you know what you're doing. Use this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
I have flashed a few of the different builds that have recently become available and in doing so I have had some weird happenings with my internal storage. First I had both /sdcard, and /sdcard/o where everything I had prior to flashing was in /sdcard, but now resides in /sdcard/0. I moved everything back over and all was dandy. However now I have /sdcard and in there is nothing. All my stuff is actually in mnt/shell/emulated??
I know that chadouming and the everyone else that are contributing are working hard to get a stable build of CM10.1 out to everyone, and when that happens I want to start fresh.
Now my question is how do you go about formatting your internal sdcard without screwing everything up?? Should I flash ROM, GAPPS, backup's from Nova, and Titanium then format? I just don't want to be left with a phone that won't boot for whatever reason.
typically in the past I have never done this. But contrary to some of the instructions for flashing ROMs in this forum I used too
Wipe system/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
format system, data
then flash rom then flash gapps. There is a lot I still don't understand about this stuff so any help would be appreciated.

Ah, you didnt said that. You can't simply delete the 0 folder on sdcard. That's how thing work on android 4.2 and it's because of multi-user capabilities. put everything back in 0 folder nad it shoulbe alright. Note that it's zero and not "o"
I can't move things. I am able to select files, but it won't move them. Tried with CM file explorer and with root explorer. Won't work with either. Wouldn't be a problem if I could access them from my computer, but I can only see /sdcard when it comes up, so I can't access mnt/shell/emulated. Frustrating.

I have downloaded a program called android commander to access internal storage on my phone via pc but I can't get it to work. I can't for the life of me even get the drivers for the phone to install correctly. Grrrr. Don't want to lose this data but I cannot seem to gain access our move it.

Yes this is my problem. I can only access the /sdcard portion of the internal memory through my pc. The 0 folder along with the original /sdcard folder is now located in the above mentioned directory /mnt/shell/emulated. It's very strange, and what is more frustrating ifs that I can select the files to move them through root explorer, but when I hit paste nothing happens.

Okay, this error have been annoying me the whole day. I have a Xperia SL rooted with .55. Everything was working completely great. Today I just tryied to restore a backup with CWM recovery, and I got this error.
Code:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
I can't wipe data and I can't install any MOD or ROM properly because of that.
The most strange thing is that I don't even have a ext sd slot. I don't know why I'm getting this error.
I've been searching for fixes and all I got was completely random fixes from people that mostly doesn't even know how did they fix it. Even though, those doesn't work for me.
* I figured out that when I go on FORMAT /DATA, after that, I can wipe data, and I can (re)install the room again without any error. The problem is after I reboot the system, the error comes back, and I need to format /data if I want to install anything again without errors.
Try flash .ftf with flashtool. Wipe all.

Wrong section. Questions don't belong in the General Section. As for your problem, the best solution would be to just flash a stock ftf as mentioned by m1st3r1

I tryed that thousands of time already and no lucky. I wanna try to format(fat32) it using my computer. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognize my cellphone as a external hard drive. I can read the files inside but it's still being detected as a celphone. And like that I can't use my hard drive tools on it.

why you wanna try to format in PC? if u format (regularly) in PC , it will only format your sdcard (mnt\sdcard). the mmcblk0p12 is the \system partition. u need to somehow format it first, via fastboot, or try via cwm to format \system.
and give more explanation bout the condition of your phone.. ie: rom, kernel, locked/unlocked bootloader.
i too, once, messed up my \data partition (which it's mmcblk0p14). i fixed that by using fastboot

Like i said, it's a. 55 rooted with stock Rom. Boot loader unlock alowed: yes. I tryed every kind of fix in cwm already and nothing works.
Something I never tryed is via fastboot. How do I proceed with that?
Sorry, my android life just started yesterday, I don't have much knowledge
EDIT: Ok I solved. Actually it's not like a fix, it's just like putting a silver tape to handle the problem. For some reason I'm able to advance restore system backup via CWM recovery. Every time that I do that, my CWM recovery is fully functional again, i can install mod, rom, etc. But, when I reboot into system again, the problem comes back, but I can still use my android without any problems, I just can't install anything via CWM recovery. So basically, now, every time that I want to install something in recovery, first I need to advanced restore system, and than install the rom, mod or whatever. Than I backup again in case I want to install anything else in the future, to repeat the same procedure with the last backup.
I was just having some problems when I was trying to restore the system with a md5 missing error... something like that. I solved this problem by just creating a file.txt in the backup folder and than renamed it to nandroid.md5. Magically it was fixed.

I updated from cyanogenmod 10 to 10.1 with the cmupdater and now my phones /sdcard/0/ all the time and all my other files are taking up space in limbo. I can see all my files in the cwm recovery but the usb access mount appears to be missing now, What can i do about this?
You can search because this has been posted many times
I did search I couldn't find anything that's why i posted. I don't know what to search for now. A lot of people seem to have a problem where the internals get mounted as ext and other red herrings. Perhaps you could help me?

You can use the Aroma File Manager (thanks for the link, CNexus) to look through the internal memory to see what's going on with your memory and copy/delete files.
Honestly, I know this has been answered because I've answered it myself. The 0 folder is created due to.how 4.2+ roms partition your internal, and also partially because of your recovery
To fix it, update your recovery to the latest (i recommend TWRP 2.5.0.0), then copy everything that you need from your internal to your external or computer.
Then nuke your.phone. AKA, format your.internal, system, data, everything except external sdcard. Then reflash your CM 10.1 rom and all should be good. Then copy your files back.

No I was asking that because in some cases updating the recovery made it so that the 0 folder no longer showed up when flashing 4.2+ roms
So after tinkering around with the AFTV (mounting external usb as internal, etc) , i decided to start fresh. I did a factory reset, but noticed that there's stuff that's still around. for example, I noticed there's an /emulated/legacy folder with some old stuff like my XBMC folders even though after the factory reset I installed SPMC. Also when I installed the ikonoTV app again, it already had the XBMC icon switched in still. Is it correct that the factory reset just wipes a certain portion and leaves others (the "SDcard" portion of the AFTV)? If so, how do i fully go fresh start with everything wiped?
Thanks
Boot into clockwork recovery, wipe /data and /system and reflash the pre rooted software version you want. It will even make you watch the welcome video again. Make sure you have updates blocked on router because com.Amazon.dcp will not be disabled until you disable it again.
Thanks! I guess I need to wipe /system as well then.
Router is blocking the updates so should be good.

Factory reset will not FORMAT /data, but just delete everything but /data/media, which is /sdcard. There is a separate option for wiping /data & /data/media. If you wipe /system you must be extra careful you NEVER attempt to reboot before reflashing something onto it.
Do you think it's useful to wipe the system or should wiping data media be enough for a fresh start ?

As long as you didn't change /system, there is no point in touching it. But like I said, if you do, make absolute sure to reflash something.
I got a bit of a problem here.
I extracted two .obb folders with FolderMount to my usb drive and then set my aftv (running your pre-rooted 51.1.4.0_514006420) back to factory settings + did wipe cache, data and dalvik in recovery.
all runs fine except I can not enter the usb drive.
stickmount shows it is mounting "sdcard/usbStorage/sda1" but I can not access it, neither in ESFile explorer nor FolderMount.
sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 is showing the two empty .obb folders and I can not change them.
I just reinstalled 51.1.4.0_514006420 from recovery but saw there is a lot of junk left + the same problem with the usb drive.
how can I safely wipe to a totally clean 51.1.4.0_514006420 ?
best

Hi, sorry to jump on this discussion but I think I may well of done this exact process and rebooted before reflashing.
My fire tv will now only boot to the White Amazon logo and won't revert to factory restore at all using the alt-print screen-I method. All I can manage is constant reboots.
Any ideas?
Does this mean I have in fact bricked my fire to and there's no way back for me?
