Just wondering if someone could help me with a particular SD card issue: Whenever I flash a 10.1 ROM, I can't find any files that I previously had on my internal, including anything in the emulated/0/ directory. Because of this, I had to essentially move my TiBackup directory to external. Whenever I flash back to anything 10.0 or TW-based, all my files are back where they belong. I remember after coming off of Euroskank's kangs, I had multiple 0 directories (emulated/0/0/0/0) when I flashed back to a TW-based ROM. Each 0 directory formatted like it's a new internal memory. I had to move different files from each 0 directory, and deleted the emulated folder. I tried going 10.1 again, with the Illusion CM 10.1 ROM specifically, and all my internal memory files "disappeared" again. Any idea how to fix this?
I've got the same problem on my S2 running CM10.1 and also on my new Nexus 4 running CM10.1.
It's very strange. The file manager of CM says, that /pictures is empty, except /pictures/cache.
But my Gallery show all my pictures.
Very annoying.. Have you found any solution?

Hey guys, having an issue with my internal sd card. I tried searching the forums, but I couldn't find a solution.
On my way to the gym I noticed I couldn't get Google music to stream music. After trying a bunch of fixes I came across the root issue. My internal sd card and data inside is missing.
In the root directory, the folders: /sdcard & /mnt/sdcard are present, but no data exists inside and the directory was mounted r/o; mounting them r/w does not alleviate the issue.
Applications can not see the directories or write to them. In recovery the internal sd card is present, and all folders and files are intact.
Can anyone help me out, our point me to a thread covering the issue?

It's a known Franco kernel issue. Update it.
I guess I was on 15.2, although I don't remember flashing that. I flashed 15.1 and everything is working again. Thanks for your help.

Hi. I flashed custom rom 4.2 and I noticed that every content from sdcard was moved to directory called "0" and in main sd card directory new files were created. Will this happen to me everytime I flash 4.2 rom and did anyone else have this problem?
Yes, this happens to everyone. Read the other 20 threads asking this question for more answers.

Help!
I was running FreeGS3, then flashed LiquidSmooth ... now flashed back to FreeGS3 ... and I have this weird '/storage/sdcard0/0/' folder which is my old internal storage folder? Not sure ... sdcard0/ has the directory structure of internal, but it's empty.
It's as if my old internal was 'backed up' to sdcard0/0/, and now there's a new internal storage at sdcard0 ....
WTF??
The same thing happened to me, you just have to move all the files and folders back to the /sdcard0 folder, you can do it with any file explorer or you can do it in your computer. There's nothing to worry about

[Guide][How To] Fix Sdcard / Find backups after cm10.1 Flash!
Same thing happened to me like deja vu after i decided to sample BlackBean 7. Seems to be a CM10/AOKP thing. Went back to my stock rooted TWiz rom anyways. If it isn't broken, don't fix.
I just used Estrongs File explorer to move everything back to where they were and deleted the /0 folder.
Sorry if this is a total noob question but how do I free the 9 gigs that became sdcard/ 0? Im now running free gs3 which im liking a lot more. The major problem I have is my internal sd is now totally full on my 16gig card. The way I figure is if I'm not gonna use cm10 cant I just delete it from the card and get the space back? I have an external card but its only 8gig and was using that for storage of music and etc. Im on a sprint gs3 flashed to metro and am wondering if I reformat the card can I flash gs3 back on or do I need to flash a stock TW? Im not really too concerned about the other files on the internal sd as I figure might as start fresh

If you aren't concerned with the files you can just wipe the internal SD card. However, there is a guide posted a few pages up on how to fix the 0 folder. Wiping the internal SD card will not affect your ROM so you will not need to flash anything.

When I went back to TW for a short time mine deleted fine. Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108 and if that doesn't work, backup your data and wipe the internal SD.

This is the cause of the multiple users feature in 4.2. When a new twrp gets implemented that can handle 4.2 properly, this won't happen. Oh well he didn't Google search! It happens, especially with this kinda thing. Try googleing but we'll always be glad to help.

Rooted and flashed my phone last night and everything works great. However, for some reason I can't see my internal SD (I think this is what it's called) anymore in file explorer. It's weird because in CWM I can view the internal SD just fine and can see the zip files I flashed. Any ideas on how to make this visible again in Astro or File Explorer (PC)?
EDIT:
I switched to TWRP and I can now see that my entire internal SD folder has now been moved to /data/media (?????). How do I make this visible from PC? Also I'm confused now..where do I place ROM zip files I want to flash? I don't have an external SD card

I'm guessing you flashed an AOSP ROM? When doing this the system partition creates an emulated folder of your internal memory. You can locate it in any root browser by navigating to /storage/emulated/0/
That is your actual internal sd card. Now you know where to place all your files. Your pc should read this directory by defaut
EDIT: your memory was always in data/media. However flashing an aosp Rom will add a secondary partition and that's the one you wanna go to.

The rom I flashed was: [4.2.2][AOKPA:CM10.1] ParanoidKANGdroid 2.32
Navigating to /storage/emulated/0 does show the "current" internal memory and this does show up on PC
I guess what the problem is, I am trying to access the internal memory from my "old" stock ROM. I know it exists still because in TWRP it shows up under data/media. This folder is NOT what is displayed in /storage/emulated/o/.
When I navigate to data/media in astro it shows up as empty (Actually the "data' folder is empty)
Okay so I got access to the folder using Root Explorer. Is it safe to delete everything in "data/media"? Its literally everything from the old ROM and nothing from the new...

It is safe. deleting everything from /data/media/ is the same thing as formatting you're sd card. So unless you don't care I'd recommend just deleting any old files from your previous ROM that doesn't actually appear in /storage/emulated/0/. It's just taking up space. If you decide to return to a TW ROM, /emulated/0/ will still exist but will no longer be your phone's default memory location until you revert back to aozp. Just keep that in mind.

For some reason when I install a rom that is 4.2.2 based, it sees the directories in the INTERNAL SD but they are all empty.
HOWEVER. When I revert BACK to a 4.1.2, or 4.1.1 ROMS the files are there, and it sees them and they work fine.
What is it doing this weird behavior??
Furthermore if I try hooking up the phone to the computer it sees that there is a LOT of space taken up on the internal SD card. But again ALL directories are empty. Of course if I reboot into recovery all my files are there. ALl my zips whatever. What the heck is going on?

4.2 AOSP ROMS emulate your internal memory by creating a secondary sd partition. There are many paths to viewing your internal memory but the most common directory is
/storage/emulated/0
"0" is your actual internal sd card.
You can also view ALL existing files in
/data/media/
So if the first path doesn't show you any files then the /data/media directory should do it for you..

It's really not a problem man.. TB can't read that directory cuz you haven't set it to.. You need to move your current TB folder to the path mentioned above then go and change your current backup directory to that or just simply scan the entire device and it will find it. Same applies to your music or any other media files.
