I understand that CWM will have to be updated for 4.2 rite?
I still have v5.5 but I guess I'll eventually have to update to any new version coming out... cos there's one coming out rite?
you just answered all your own questions, was this worth starting a new thread?

well I do not know wher cwm is... I've always kept 5.5 because it was working fine, while now the 4.2 chanmging sdcard location will force me to update cwm... so was just asking for a confirmation...
can amy1 point me to teh offocial thread of cwm for gnex?
6.0.1.0 is on the ClockworkMod website, and 6.0.1.4 is in the Dev section of this very forum
TWRP now works with 4.2:
There's a file called .layout_version in /data partition, when you factory resetted your device using the recovery, the .layout_version file was also wiped during factory reset process as the recovery is supposed to wipe /data (ofcourse excluding the /data/media/ partition as it is the sdcard) partition in this process. So when Android sees that there's no .layout_version file in /data partition it moves the existing data from /data/media/0/ to /data/media/0/0/ and thus forming an infinite loophole of data being moved to other locations at every reset.

I did not factory reset my phone using the recovery: i simply applied the OTA from 4.1.2 to 4.2
My problem actually is that the /data/media/clockworkmod folder is not seen from /sdcard when accessing either from pc or from rootexplorer, the reason being at this point that cwm is writing files into /data/media/clockworkmod instead of /data/media/0/clockworkmod
CWM keeps on working fine actually, it's simply more difficult to copy the backup from /sdcard to pc: I have to copy /data/media/clockworkmod into /data/media/0/clockworkmod with root explorer and then I can move /sdcard/clockworkmod to the pc (and I wrote move, because by doing so you end up having two clockworkmod folders).
I could move to TWRP but then my 4.1.2 cwm backup I made before upgrading will be useless in case I wanna go back from 4.2 to 4.1.2

im having the same issue, what im doing is downloading a 4.1.2 ROM and flashing that then seeing if the SDcard is back to normal. will report back when finished
Push your clockworkmod folder to /data/media.
All you need is working ADB and to make things even more simple QtADB.
Alternatively a root explorer *should* work...
use a file explorer or pc to transfer files to sdcard0
I can't locat the file...

Don't restore when switching major versions, just reinstall - would be my advice. Especially on this one, at least until custom recoveries take care of that (if it hasn't happened already).
same thing here.
tried out the new 4.2, and then the recovery doesn't find the data anymore
i'm trying to flash other rom, and if it won't work, i'll try to go back to the stock rom...but i don't think it would help.
Connecting the device via usb doesn't show all the folders :S

Okay well at least it's not just me then..I copied my CWM backups to my PC before doing anything though because I had to restore to a takju version of JB before I could install the update so I knew everything would be wiped..just thought I had messed something up because of the 4 storage devices
Any solutions? Should wait for GOOGLE to add kind setting that allows to use multiple storages...if we are the only users of our devices, well there's no need to have more than 1 storage...
I have the same problem... now i also had to make a new backup, because CWM didn't find my other backup's..
are there any solutions yet?
Update to CWM recovery 6.0.1.9 and try the same. It could be because of the directory/file structure new in JB 4.2. The latest CWM .9 handles this
If you want to restore a backup, you have to copy it to your PC first, flash Android 4.1.2 and then restore the backup.

I'm on 4.2.1 and everytime I flash a new rom, It creates this new "0" Folder. I already know why it creates these folders.
Problem is, these folders are not populated with anything inside. They're just copies of the same folder but empty.
My questions is, for someone like me who has a full /sdcard, what is the best and quickest way to move all my folder back to /sdcard and get rid of the "0" folders. I have about 7 of them now...
Moving them one by one seems incredibly slow since the nexus internal memory isn't fast at all...
Tried that myself, removing everything from 0 folder effectively deleted everything as far as android was concerned .... the data in sdcard was no longer readable

These "0" Folders should no longer appear if you are using the latest TWRP recovery. I even read that the latest CWM recovery has also fixed this.
When it happened to me, I installed the new ROM (of course, rooted) then used ES File Explorer to CUT the data from the deepest "0" Folder then paste it to the main /sdcard/ place. Afterwards, all my files were on /sdcard/ and the "0" folder as well but it is empty now because I took the data out of it, so I deleted the "0" Folder. I lost nothing of my data this way.
If you are going to try this, then first use ADB to pull the data from /sdcard/ to your PC then try so you can push your data again if anything goes wrong
Hope this helps
You don't need ADB, just connect your phone to your PC and open up the storage.
Find the current 0 folder or w/e that your system is currently using. (You can check date it was modified)
Paste it in the /Sdcard and delete everything else.
You said you knew why it was doing it but you kept doing it? Your harsh on yourself, update your recovery.
O and the answer is in 1 of these threads too, probably to same thread you downloaded your ROM from.
so the new CWM, 6.0.1.5 fixes this? I dont have this problem yet because i havent flashed a new rom after 4.2 but I just want to make sure before I do. Thanks.

well I have the newest twrp and I get 0 folders all time when jumping from rom to rom and legacy folders. I just take everything out of them and merge it back into the main folders.... it works perfect (nothing gets lost) my worry is im maybe adding files that are ment to be deleted.. never anything good in the 0 folders just boring app crap but then again I only test other 4.2.1 roms I don't use them. So maybe given time the 0 folders would get big? if so iI woulde love a fix I searched a lot but i keep finding these threads so I thought poswt.
Your not crazy new recovery isn't a fix at all
For me, if i use latet CWM, if i flash from 4.1 to 4.2, the files will stay the same. But if i flash from 4.2 to 4.1, then it start creating 0 folder. But if i flashed 4.2 roms to 4.2 roms, no 0 folder was created.
However, i tried latest TWRP last night, flashing PA 4.2 rom from CNA 4.1, it still create the 0 folder.
Its weird..and annoying

Use version 5 working
When you upgrade to 4.2 all of the sdcard content is moved from /data/media to /data/media/0
So, the location of your clockworkmod backup is now /data/media/0/clockworkmod
If, you are using an older version of clockworkmod recovery, it will not automatically find the new backup location.
There are two solutions:
1. Flash the latest clockworkmod recovery
2. Manually copy content from /data/media/0 to /data/media using adb

I'm having the same problem. I made a nandroid with CM10.0 and then did a clean wipe, updated the rom to CM10.1, and I've been annoyed by certain things ever since, such as the new file structure.
So I've tried to restore my nandroid of CM10.0 only to find that CWM Recovery can't find it, so I managed to find the backup myself and move it to where CWM stores new nandroid backups, and then I get the same message: "Error while restoring /system!". I updated CWM to 6.0.2.3, the current version, and I still get the same error.
Does anyone know the best way to restore my phone to CM10.0 with my data in the nandroid backup?
MY situation is similar but not quite the same. i did the nandroid backup in clockworkmod. i flashed 10.1. i noticed it moved it to the "zero" folder. so i moved it back. i go back to restore, and here is where things are different. it says its not there. says it can't find a backup.
so i do a backup on 10.1. it creates the backup properly. i check in ES Explorer, both files are there. i go into recovery, it only finds the new one i just created. not the old one.
*sigh*
Since the move to 4.2.x all user data has been moved to /0/data instead of just being in /data
Now, backups shouldn't be any different UNLESS you had the one you want on your SD card before updating. CWM is looking on the original position of the backup but it's probably in the /0/ folder. Move it back to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<date of backup> and it should find it when you go back to CWM

I have the same problem.
CWM 6.0.2.3
saves new backups to data/media/clockworkmod but you cant see it when connected to a computer.
move the backup in the above directory to data/media/0/clockworkmod, this is the new sd card directory.
"Im guessing" that if you want to restore an old nandroid, you will have to adb push it to data/media/clockworkmod/backup.
"also guessing" you have to push the blobs folder as well or it wont restore.
you will see other 0 folders and emulated folders in the root directory,I tried to delete these but it deletes folders in the data/media/0 folder.
these other 0 and emulated folders do not seem to contain actual data files, but are more of a link to the actual data files, the new system type i beleive.

have u checked the blobs folder internal and external sd card?
Which version of CM did you flash. If you flashed one of the nightly builds dated 12/17 and forward you may have flashed 10.1 which is JB 4.2.1. JB 4.2.1 modifies the directory layout to make way for multi-user support and puts the contents of your /sdcard/ folder to /sdcard/0/ which may cause your backups to not be recognized by CWM.
Before we can help we need to know which version you flashed. Thanks!

If you have USB MTP functionality you can just connect it to your computer and manually move your CWM folder from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard/
Then simply boot to recovery and CWM should see your list of backups.

I'm on the same boat as the OP. I tried doing what you recommended but the darn files won't copy and it takes ages. I'm helpless. Hating CM10 for ruining my life lol.
Aww don't hate on cm, the new update is causing some pretty big problems, but keep in mind it is only 3 days old. give it some time. =)
There are a couple of possible solutions:
1.) Flash back to stock using ODIN and then reinstall a custom recovery/ROM.
2.) ADB push the backups to the correct folder.
Either option should work just fine. In the future I'd also recommend TWRP as your recovery manager. It has a built in file manager that saved me on this issue by allowing me to copy the data to the correct folders within the recovery module itself.

This is what I figured. However, the backup fails with message "Error while restoring /system".
Tried using CWM 6.0.0.0 (which version is equipped with cm10 stable?) and installing cm10 stable prior to restoring my cm10 backup. It still fails and now I don't know what to do next. Any advice is welcome!
EDIT1: BTW: I need to restore my CM10 to remove my 4*4 pattern... when installing CM10.1, 3*3 pattern must be entered, which I don't know, so I cannot unlock my own phone... :/
EDIT2: Hold on... I did not know about incremental backups and hence I did not copy the blobs folder (within clockworkmod folder)... I will do that now and expect the restore to succeed then.
EDIT3: this works fine, remember to not only copy the folder "backups" but also all the other stuff of the clockworkmod-folder. or make a symlink in /data/media to the old location. works fine.

1. Open terminal, become root by using command 'su'.
2. Enter the following command:
cp -Rv /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/[backup dir] /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
eg.:
cp -Rv /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/2012-12-12.12.00.44 /data/media/clockworkmod/backup
Reboot to recovery and select the 'backup and restore'. Now there will be another entry with your older backup. Restore it. Enjoy!
