Old SD card contents moved to /0 after PA2.99

Hello all,
Earlier while in stock android 4.2, ask my internal storages files like images, music were under sdcard/ directory.
After flashing PA2.99 B5 I can see that all those have been moved to a new directory under sdcard/0/.
As a result my TB folder went under this new /0/ dir and I has to redirect my TB to restore from the old location.
Similar is the case for Camera folder.
Any help why this happened and how to avoid this duplicate folder list creation.

OK.. I was using CWM at the point of flashing PA.
Can I now change the recovery to TWRP? Will that restore the original directory structure back ?

i am having the same problem. Went from stock 4.2 to cm10 4.1.2 or so.
I have the latest recovery installed...
If any1 knows how to fix this i would like to hear.

Hi,
Once I upgrade to the latest recovery, would the sdcard/0 content be merged and get sorted by itself or would I have to manually merge the contents?
Please advice!

Same here. The only backups I can find using root explorer are the ones prior to 4.2 how ever when I open up clockwork mod app it doesn't show the old backups just the new ones. I must have missed something along the way.

I have had the same problem i thought i did something wrong flashing the rom so i re falshed it and now it went from /0 to /0 /0 then i tried to manually move everything back to the root folder and merge all the folders but to my surprise the folders did get merged but not the contents and hence i lost all my camera photos !!
So as suggested please update the recovery before flashing so that you dont land up like me... and if you want to move the content back i suggest using a computer to do it rather than a file explorer !!

I wish there were step by step instructions for this one. There seems to be a lot of confusion.

Flashed CM10, went to restore to a previous backup. No files found

Clockwork version 6.0.1.4, I'm on Jelly Bean
Flashed CM and didnt like it, went to restore to the backup I did minutes before flashing and now I'm getting no files found.

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!

This is what happened to me.I just back to stock Via Odin, thanks though

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.

Changed CWM location

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!

Android 4.2.x File Structure Thread

Hey Guys,
So After all of the recent questions and concerns I have seen and answered, I have decided to make a thread to help users understand the new file structure of android 4.2.x. I hope this will help those of you with questions and concerns and make for a smoother transition from 4.1.x and touch wiz roms.
I will break this into three categories........
First I will explain what the file system is and why it is present and how it affects you......
Second is if you haven't yet but are planning on making the jump to 4.2.x.
Third will be if you have already made the jump without doing your homework. (For those of you wondering where your files are, wondering why your sd card was formatted, or cant find your recovery backups..... This section is for you!!)
Section 1.)
What is the new file system and what the hell is this /0 folder?
With Android 4.2, Google introduced multiple users as a new feature. In order to accommodate multiple users, Google is now giving each user their own folder for storage. What happens is 4.2 uses an emulator to make different users and uses the /0 folder as the default users storage on the sd card. It doesn't recognize anything on the root of the sd card only whats in /0. To support multi-user capabilities this will be the norm... for each user, there will be a sequentially numbered folder in /data/media (/data/media/0, /data/media/1)...
And for each user, within Android, this will be symlinked to /sdcard & /storage/sdcard0... for user 1, /sdcard = /storage/sdcard0 = /data/media/0... for user 2, /sdcard = /storage/sdcard0 = /data/media/0...
These are emulated storage points... /data/media/0 = /storage/emulated/0, /data/media/1 = /storage/emulated/1
Without root access, each user will just see /sdcard/ and will not be able to access the other emulated storage points...
In the recovery mode, however, /sdcard is mapped to /data/media which is why you need to navigate to the "0" folder to see your files!
So in order to access your internal storage files they will be in data/media/0. So for example to access the backup location In titanium backup after you flash navigate to data/media/0/TitaniumBackup. (Thanks to ktetreault)
That being said, If you already flashed a 4.2 rom without preparation, your files aren't lost they are just inaccessible they are just not in the proper place for 4.2 to see them.
So now that we have all the technical stuff out of the way...... Lets get into how to either prevent or fix this issue.
Section 2.)
Preparing to flash a 4.2 rom from a touch wiz rom or an aosp 4.1.x based rom.
Okay, so you have touch wiz or aosp 4.1.x of some sort and your ready to try out the goodness of 4.2?
First backup your ext sd card to your pc or if a pc is unavailable (and your willing to take a risk) use a file explorer on your phone such as Es file explorer from the market to transfer the contents of the ext sd card to your internal sd card. I highly suggest avoiding using the phone as some hiccups can occur. I have done it successfully myself but have heard others who have lost their files during transfer because they left the app while it was transferring. If you do use this method DO NOT LEAVE THE APP UNTIL THE FILE TRANSFER IS COMPLETE.
Second Format your ext sd card so we have a clean slate to work with as this will help tremendously to avoid any headaches.
Third Install the latest recovery of your choice. The reason for this is that the older recoveries are not updated for 4.2 and will continuously create a new /0 folder every time you flash a new rom. Follow the instructions to install in the applicable thread.
Thanks to naddict for posting the links.... These are all flashable zips thru recovery
TWRP 2.4.1.0 - http://d-h.st/9cL
CWM 6.0.2.3 - http://d-h.st/jbT
CWM Touch 6.0.2.3 - http://d-h.st/8A9
Fourth Flash the 4.2 rom of your choosing per the instructions of the developers OP in their thread.
Set your phone up as usual and then restore the files from your backup on your pc or move them back from the internal sd card using es file explorer again. Keep in mind that the /0 folder is your new sd card storage. Now you are good to go and enjoy the new features and benefits of 4.2 and not have to search for your files :good:
Section 3.)
Okay so you got overly excited and flashed a 4.2 rom........ OMG!!! All my files are gone!!!! I can't restore any backups and all my precious files have disappeared!! Why was my sd card formatted?????
Relax.... Your files didn't go any where they are exactly how you left them you just can't see them.....
I will walk you thru 4 easy steps to get your files back and put you back on track.
First Make sure you have the latest recovery of your choice. If needed refer to the links posted in section 1. If you don't do this you will see a duplicate /0 folder created every time you flash a new 4.2 rom.
Second You won't be able to find your backups thru recovery. The easiest method I found is to download any touch wiz rom. Wipe your phone completely and then flash the touch wiz rom you downloaded. Reboot and go thru the setup and what not.
Third Now install es file explorer or the app of your choice. Next copy everything from the root of the sd card into the /0 folder that 4.2 had created oh so nicely for you.
Fourth Reboot into recovery and re-flash the 4.2 rom you began with. After going thru the initial rom setup you will see that are of your files are back intact and ready for you to access.
Hopefully this has helped those of you with questions and concerns about upgrading to 4.2.x. If i missed anything please feel free to let me know and ill include it here or address any further questions.

No you shouldn't be affected bud I would only suggest getting an sd card just to backup anything important in case of a freak error during flashing or accidental wiping of internal sd.

When I went to 4.2.1 I did not understand the file system change. I had to use my backup phone for 5 days before I finally got my SMSand MMS and Launcher Pro restored.
Then I wiped and flashed again and it created a new "0" directory. I have been afraid to do anything but dirty flash since.
This finally explains it all and I feel confident in wiping again.
Thank you so much.

Just move everything that is in your "0" folder to you sdcard root or you external SD card. Recovery can't see all of the folders for some reason. At least that's how I fixed it.

When moving between 4.1.x ( / storage / sdcard0 / ) and 4.2.x based roms
everything for 4.2.x is moved into your
/ storage / sdcard0 / emulated / 0 /
In order for you to get it back just get root explorer and move everything thats inside
' / storage / sdcard0 / emulated / 0 / '
to
' / storage / sdcard0 / '
if twrp STILL doesn't see the necessary nandroid backups then you'll need to flash to a 4.1.x based roms
and then redo the process.
Everything should be fine after that and all you need to do is reboot your phone twice. once for the phone to read
all the files in the root of the sdcard and then again going into custom recovery to find your twrp backup files.
You now and can restore from the nandroid you previously had.
twrp and cwm are both the same its just most recommend using others because of the extra features it has.
all in all, both CAN'T read ALL files but it should be able to read ALL folders.
I've been switching back and forth as well from PA, PAC-man, and LS and what i usually do is flash to 4.1.x
and then move the files, clearing cache and dalvik cache then rebooting and my phone hasn't ran into any
problems from doing that.
If you're staying on LS and trying to restore BACK to The Goodness JB rom, then move this folder
' / Emulated / 0 / TWRP / '
to
' / Storage / sdcard 0 / '
and twrp should be able to read the nandroid because the path to backup and restore is usually ' sdcard0 / TWRP '
or when using an external sd card
' / ExtsdCard / TWRP ' <- JB default location
' / sdcard1 / TWRP ' AOSP default location
Hopefully this info helps you.

Your post should have it's own sticky. I've seen this issue repeatidly, and a lot of users end up giving up and staying with either TW or AOSP.

It's only a work around for now until custom recoveries can be fully optimized for 4.2.x based roms reading
from the ' / emulated / 0 / ' folder instead of the sdcards root.

Yeah, it's actually been one of the reasons I've been sticking with TW Roms. I remember that headache with the Gnex. It's terrifying when you don't know what's going on. Lol

Which version of TWRP are you running? I know that the older versions had a lot of trouble going between 4.2 and 4.1 Roms. They have done a good job of fixing this recently. I'm currently on TWRP 2.4.1.0 and it's been working fine for me. Try the newest TWRP file.
Also, as far as I'm aware, you WILL NOT be able to restore TWRP nandroids from CWM. They use different organization schemes when running Nandroids, so you can't switch between the two and restore backups willy-nilly..
My recommendation, update to the latest TWRP and see if you can find the files. Otherwise, go into your Root explorer and copy everything from the "0" folder to the base folder. It's tedious and time-consuming, but it should work.

[Guide][How To] Fix Sdcard / Find backups after cm10.1 Flash!
Had this exact problem. This is how I fix mine.
Sent From My Rooted, S-OFF'd Blackberry Curve using the iOS XDA Application for Android.

Thanks everyone for your input. The verdict:
I was so impatient i decided to back up my current rom, locate where that folder was via es file explorer, moved my backup to that exact folder and ta daaa!! Only thing is my sd card is crazy now cause i tried so many things and moved so many things around (i have a sdcard 0 0 0 directory) and i put my whole "0" folder on my ext sd card which took up a lot of space. I took the 0 folder off and put it on my desktop. Im missing a few things but from what i can see, nothing too crucial thus far.
My future plans: I just unrooted to accept update ( running mb1 now, what is that all about). So after class i will be rerooting and throwing Goodness back on there. If i run into any problems, ill be back (terminator voice)

The weirdest thing is happening...

So im trying to flash a zip in TWRP and I go to where the zip is and it isnt there. So i reboot my phone and its in the folder that i looked at in twrp. So I go back to twrp and see several old files are there that i deleted a long time ago... Its like twrp isnt seeing that i changed anything in my file systems, like its looking at a snapshot from a week ago... I even reinstalled twrp via GooManager and that didnt do anything either.

In TWRP, change the permissions of the '0' folder to 755. Reboot. Move anything you want to keep out of the 0 folder. In Root Explorer, delete the 0 folder. Reboot to recovery. See that everything is back in the /sdcard folder as it should be.
This is the result of having run a 4.2.2 based ROM. Running the file previously pointed to will reset to use /sdcard, but you still have to delete the 0 folder for it to take.
