[Q] "no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext."

Should I be concerned with getting this message while doing nandroid backups? Will I have any problem with restoring a backup that has generated this message? The backup still finishes and says "Backup complete!" I just don't like error messages... Sorry for being a newb

I would also like to note that every other aspect of my phone seems to be running perfecly. Just a little hesitant to upgrade my Skyraider 3.0 if this is going to be an issue. Thanks in advance.

Cosmetic problem. Either create an sd-ext partition on your SD card so it finds it (there's more than 1 tutorial floating around) or ignore the issue.
It is just trying to back up apps you've moved to your sd-card (which you haven't done, so it gives you an error).

Ok, great! Thanks for clearing that up.

shouldn't your pictures have been on your sd card?
anyways, you didnt really give any helpful information as to what your problem is, but maybe you could try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714114

yes they were on my sd card, thats what doesnt make a lot of sense about it
and its not say md5 mismatch, i told you everything my phone said...all it says is "error flashing boot img"
if i had helpful info pertaining to this issue id be a lot closer to solving it...

Yeah, There shouldn't be an MD5 mismatch when your phone generated the MD5 to begin with.
I would suggest reflashing clockwork a few times from within ROM manager. It is the first option on the app which says "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
If that doesn't help your problem:
It shouldn't make a difference because ROM Manager is made by the CWM team but I would suggest trying to create a backup from within Clockwork and see if you can then restore the backup or even to just try restoring the backup you already made from within CWM rather than trying to use ROM manager. I've heard a lot about ROM manager having problems, so even though it takes a little more work you might want to take that route from now on.
In case you don't know how, all you need to do to get to clockwork is hold down the power button on your phone and then select reboot into recovery.
Once you're in recovery mode you need to select backup/restore using the optical joystick at the bottom of the phone to make your selections. When you make a backup from within clockwork you are unable to change the name before the backup is created but when you boot your phone up you can use any file manager to navigate to the clockwork/backup folder on your SD card and the bottom one should be the most recent because they are listed by date and then time that they were created.
I know it is a little redundant but it is always worth trying the easiest thing first before trying to overhaul your phone.

i dont use rom manager for anything...
i think im gonna try to complete reflash and re root and see what happens...kinda pissed i lost a lot of my pictures though
really confuses me...

try checking the internal flash memory, for some reason some of my pictures wind up there on accident sometimes. When you connect to your PC it is the third mass storage that shows up usually. I don't know how to access it from within the phone. and I apologize for the confusion but the title of the thread is "ROM manager issue" so that's what i thought you meant.

i tend to mistakenly call cwm rom manager since thats where i got it from

[Q] Flashed a 4.2.1 ROM from a 4.1.2... Don't know what to do with '0' File... help.

Hi, its my first time posting, I figured I wanted to sign up to XDA eventually so why not when I feel like I've completely ruined my phone... or at least internal sd card...
Basically I rooted my phone and was flashing the Jellybam rom, and everything was going smoothly until I got to the bootloader and my phone started bootlooping. My first thought was 'Oh but I have a backup'. So I went to my backup in CWM and to my dismay I got an error saying "No files were found."
I could clearly see my files from exploring around on my sd card however they were now in a file called '0' and CWM could not read them from there. Without a working ROM I started to panic. However I had a zip of CM10 still on my internal sd card so I flashed that and (luckily) it worked.
Not really being too competent with flashing new ROMs yet I was quite happy that I had anything. So I used titanium backup to reinstall my old apps and data. However once they were installed I now get an error with 'the process android.process.media has stopped'.
I'm guessing this has do do with the fact that I have all my files still on the '0' folder. All the other folders from the '0' folder were the same except they were all empty, soooooo I decided to delete them. At this point I'm guessing that was a really bad idea because my initial plan of moving all the files from '0' to my pc then back to my phone, I did not think about the fact that I would be moving 14 Gb of data...
So basically now I'm hoping if someone knows a way to revert my phone to 4.1.2 by somehow moving all the files from '0' back onto the internal storage (basically getting rid of this '0') folder. The CM10 ROM is a 4.1.2 ROM so its not like I'm fudging up my phone further (I hope).
If you could be as detailed as possible as to what to do that would be great, because I'm really really new to this....
From what I've read I've heard a couple of suggestions:
1. updating the recovery.img of CWM will work? How exactly do I do this?
2. opening abd shell recovery and moving the files like that (however I deleted all the other files in the internal storage apart from '0' because that was where all the data was stored and everything else was empty...'
help. :crying:

1- Your solution
2- Was quite the bad idea to delete it all so this solution won't work now.
clockwordmod.com is where you'll find the latest recovery.

So how exactly do I do that? I just download the the latest clockwork mod and flash it? Why can't it be updated via an automatic updater? And what will it do to the file or will it change clockwork mod so that it will scan the entire sd card?
Also if I just remade folders identical to the ones I deleted, will that still work?
I'm just trying to get my phone to be as functional as it was before this all started.
Thanks for replying btw!

That's a lot of question for the simple fix I gave you.. I haven't used cwm in a while so Idk what changed in the update but if people said it fixed it, then it did..
0, 1, 2, etc.. Is something that came with JB, it's for the different users. Not much can be done about it.
About how you should do that: Go on their website, FOLLOW their instructions to a T, Enjoy.
As for why it can be updated via an automatic updater.. Well I'm not the person you should ask.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just worried that I messed up my phone. Would you know if I were able to be able to access my old clockwork mod backups and used one of them, would it put my 0 files back into the internal storage like they used to? Or would it only revert the settings and I would still be SOL.

Yes, that's the whole point of the cwm update. Now to flash it!

Or, go digg through the cm nightly thread. They had a flash able zip that would restore your internal sd after downgrading Android versions.

Well here's my latest problem... I tried to update CWM with an .img however when I tried to run it in the terminal it said there was not enough space... I don't know what to do... there is definitely a couple gigs free so I don't know what is wrong...

the cm nightly thread? So theres a zip that would make 4.2 go back to 4.1?
Okay update:
I managed to flash update the new version of CWM... still can't use backup... I get a /system fail

It doesn't downgrade you're ROM. It fixes the 0 folder issue

Ugh Okay I've given up... I dont know what else to try. Now that I've updated my CWM I cant flash the old CM10 because it reads it as a 4.1 and uncompatable... FML.
Can anyone point me to where I can find the Odin stock factory? I guess I'll just start from scratch...

[Q] TWRP trouble

Hi. I managed to root my S3 and remove Knox. At first, TWRP was working fine, but after a few unsuccessful attempts to flash CM, I think i screwed it up. My backup files are gone, and it won't make a new one as it "cannot access storage." It also takes up about 6 gigs of storage on the phone per applications manager, which seems like a lot.
Is there a way to delete it and do a fresh install? now that I am rooted, would another backup/recovery be better?
I have tried searches, nothing seems to be on oint. Perhaps I was casting my net too wide or too narrow.
THANKS

Probably has to do with the /0/0/0 folders. Every time you flashed something, itd create a new /0 directory. Your stuff is still there but the path is messed up so it doesn't know where to look. In twrp file manager look for /storage/0/0/0 or something/somewhere like that. (It's been a while so I may not be remembering exactly right) this is a well documented issue though, so if im wrong just Google it and you're sure to find the right info. I believe it may be covered in one of the sticky threads too.

Idk if this is your issue or not but I had a problem where recovery couldn't find the files or access storage I had the wrong version of recovery flashed and it wouldn't read anything I originally had the right one but somehow I lost recovery and ended up flashing the wrong one and it did what you are describing I'm on cwm so I'm not sure which is the right twrp but I'd just make sure you have the right one for your model. Good luck figuring it out though I know you will if you do your homework you will get it.

I went in and looked at the files, I had several named backups. I deleted all but one.
Goo Manager wouldn't load the newest TWRP, so I went to the app store and downloaded the app.
Now it takes far less space and recognizes the one backup.
THANKS for bearing with me.
I put a copy of the backup on my computer, just in case. Going to try flashing CM again, hope I can get it to work.

[Q] problems with flashing a new rom and more

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've been flashing roms and stuff and I barely came back since I was tired of this jellybean Rom I'm on. Right now I have an older Rom that from what I an seeing isn't being developed anymore, wicked v10, Android 4.1.1, and I went through all the backups, with using tb to back up my apps, and I went into my recovery, cleared data and system, flashed quantum 3.6.4, flashed pa gapps, the same old stuff, and after I set up, I noticed the emulated sd card as I expected as it did that to me when I used to run aokp, but I could not ever find for the life of me any of my titanium backup backups, screenshots, etc. Even when I checked my other sd card folders. I found that strange since when I restored my backup, I was easily able to find the rest of the things mentioned. So what am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to port my sms to hangouts as the new Rom used, and will I be able to used the restore backups of my contacts through the xml or something file that I generate in my contacts app when I used the app that comes with the new Rom? Thx in advance

Adding on to the fact I cannot edit my old post from my buggin out xda app, I seem to have found out whats wrong, which is that my internal sd is either not mounted properly, or cannot be read properly, while flashing ANY kitkat rom. I tried to search forums and google for a solution to this but I couldn't turn up anything. So can anyone at least tell me if this is a recurring bug on cm11 or kitkat based roms or am I just screwing up on something along the way?

Have you tried Odin flashing your firmware and factory resetting after?
Could also be the /0/0/0/ folder problem. Every time you flash a rom it adds another /0 and that becomes the default directory. Look in /storage (maybe wrong, going by memory). It's well documented though. Check the faq sticky, I think it may be covered there.

I have not tried odin flashing and all that stuff just yet but I checked every possible folder using es file explorer and it seems not to be mounted. I will check the faq though
EDIT: FAQ didn't come up with anything. The only thing I can do now is to Odin my phone but I'm not sure exactly if it would work and be worth my time. It seems as if other people with different devices using cm11 and cm11 based roms have had this issue
