This is driving me crazy. I want to copy the TitaniumBackup folder from my GNEX to my Win7 PC.
Looking at the folder through Root Explorer on the GNEX all appears normal. When I look at the folder through my computer the folder is showing but the contents are backups that are almost a month older than are on the GNEX. If I delete everything in that folder FROM THE PC it still exists on the GNEX.
It is like it is looking at a different folder entirely however looking and searching through ROOT EXPLORER there are no other TITANIUM BACKUP folders.
This happens with a lot of apps. Example: I created a ZIP file using ROOT EXPLORER. The zip, viewing through ROOT EXPLORER is located in the /SDCARD/SPEEDSOFTWARE/ZIP folder however when I look at the SPEEDSOFTWARE folder via my PC the folder is empty.
I have tried both MTP and PHOTO mode. This happens with a lot of folders when trying to view them from my PC connection. Some stuff is there and a lot is not.
Hmmm, there is a /MNT/SDCARD and a /SDCARD folder (I don't know much about Linux) and the files I am NOT seeing on my PC are in /MNT/SDCARD and the files I am seeing are in /SDCARD. Why are there 2 different "SDCARD" folders? I changed the TitaniumBackup to save to /SDCARD instead of /MNT/SDCARD but the backups are still not viewable (or copyable) from my computer. I just don't get it.
So the question is, how do you "backup" the contents of the "SDCARD" directory if you can't see the files when plugged into the PC?
Well, after comparing all the "visible" files on my computer when I access the GNEX via MTP vs what I see using ROOT EXPLORER the ONLY 2 folders NOT visible from my PC are TITANIUMBACKUP and SPEEDSOFTWARE (thus is the ROOTEXPLORER app data). Why would they be hidden?
It's due to how the Android MTP service works. It hasn't scanned your internal storage for the new files/directory to present to your PC yet.
Download and run an app called SDrecan from the Market. This will force the media services on your phone to rescan the device.

this app is force closing. i cant even run it . do you have any idea? just today was working fine , i installed a custom rom and now when i try to put another roms on my sd card , i get this message that it's empty
trickster mod also has a media rescan option in bottom of tools section if this is helpful to you, I have to use it after using the "a better camera app" in order for pics to show in gallery without reboot
How the hell can i delete a folder that can't be seen via PC connection but i can see it using es file explorer?

Depending on where it is you need to mount it first. Which folder are you trying to delete?

I had a folder that became corrupted (repeatedly interrupted game data downloads, I think). I was unable to delete it (even as root) and received an Access Denied error. I was able to rename the folder (so it wouldn't conflict anymore) and delete the majority of its contents (still received the Access Denied error on a file or two). I eventually had to do a full wipe via fastboot -w to get rid of the corrupted files.
had the same problem. had to reflash su.zip and it worked. can't explain it though. just reaching at straws

it's the folder created by the Photaf application.
i uninstalled the app and the folder is still there...permissions are writable, not hidden...
i can rename it, but can't delete it....and the subfolder within it as well...
i remember it happened once before and the only way to get rid of it was to reinstall the ROM (AOKP). Once installed, i could delete the folder.....

LE: WTF, i just plugged in the phone into USB for charging and i saw the folder?! It deleted just fine?
Damn weird didn't do anything different than yesterday when i couldn't even see the folder via PC...
Thank you!
My Asus Transformer (TF101) hasn't been able to download anything to the Download folder for months now. Even Opera (which I installed just to try and fix this) could only download to a different folder. I did what you said, plugged it into the computer and first renamed the folder with ADB but couldn't create a new Download folder. "File already exists." Lies. Windows Explorer said it was still there as Download so I deleted it in Explorer and created a new folder named Download. The create failed but Android said it was there and Voila! I can download again. Very weird, but not ready yet to reformat in fastboot. Thanks guys!
If you're rooted you may be able to delete the files from /data/media, which is the true location, instead of the visual SD that you are seeing.
Could also be a file ownership issue.
Using a terminal emulator, use the following command to list ownership and permissions:
ls -l
(Lower case letter L, not i or 1)
Most of the files and folders should show up as media_rw, but the problematic ones may show up as numbers. To fix them, boot into CWM recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell. Also make sure that /data is mounted in the CWM mounts menu. Then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *
Hi
I recently restored my Nexus with the toolkit but when it put the files back, I think a permissions problem has occurred. I can rename folders, but I can't delete them. I have a rather large folder that I can't get rid of. When I try in various programs, it says delete failed, or no permissions, etc.
I am rooted, and have installed Terminal emulator, but am not terribly familiar with how to use it.
Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks

Simple solution might just be that your file explorer app doesn't have root access. Force stop it in apps->settings, check your superuser app and clear any saved entries for it, and launch the app again. It should request root privileges.
Where are the files/folders in question located? If they're in a secure place like /system/ then it's more likely to be the above scenario. If they're just in your sdcard folder, are they user made, or at all special?
Edit: Also in the future, this sort of thing is what the Q&A forum is for.

I was using Root explorer, and have granted it root access
It is in /SDcard, so it shouldn't be anything that's protected

Did you check the permissions for what you're trying to delete? They're displayed right in the normal view in root explorer, and you can edit them from the long press menu.
Anything unusual about the files/folders themselves? Were they created on the phone? By you? By apps? Copied and pasted over USB from a computer? You could try deleting from your computer over USB.
As for command line options, you can try 'rm -r [path]' for a folder and just 'rm [path]' for a file. rm is the delete(remove) command, -r is the recursive flag to apply the action to all items in the directory if a directory is the target. Pretty sure that you can do that straight from terminal emulator on your phone, and from a command prompt over usb you'd need to use 'adb shell' first.

In root explorer the info under the folder says
rwxrwxr -x
I'm pretty sure that the problem started when I restored from the nexus toolkit on pc. I had a similar problem with my camera in that it couldn't save pictures to a folder, but all I did was rename the folder, and the camera app created a new one.
rm -r [path] in terminal emulator says "permission denied"
EDIT
upon further googleing, the 'chmod' command might be what I want, but I'm not sure which syntax is right.

For chmod you want 'chmod [number] [path]', where number is a string that's a bit complicated to explain. You can learn about it by googling chmod probably better than I could type it out here on the fly. But if you use 777, it should assign full permissions, which would display as rwxrwxrwx in root explorer.
You can achieve the exact same effect in root explorer though, long press and choose permissions and you'll get a 3x3 grid. All boxes checked= full permissions, same as chmod 777. The three lower boxes for special permissions should be unchecked (fyi, they would turn chmod's numeric component into a 4 digit number, and as far as I know, android doesn't really use them at all).
Also, did you type su in terminal first? It doesn't innately have root (just like any app) so you need to do that and confirm the popup first. You'll need to do this before using chmod, and if you didn't do it before using rm, try it again.
Worth a try but just for reference, rwxrwxr-x is the normal permissions set for folders on the sdcard, so that's not immediately looking like a problem.
at the top of root explorer, theres a button that says mount r/w. press it, now it should say mount r/o. go ahead and delete that file now

it might be the files within the folder, rather than the folder itself. going into it, some of the files have a shield on them
When I go into its permissions, some of them were unchecked. I checked the 9 at the top, and it says:
"permissions change was not successful. Please note that some files systems (e.g. SD card) do now allow permission changes."

Well under normal circumstances, individual files on your sdcard should have permissions rw-rw-r--, and folders have rwxrwxr-x. (For reference, this is read as read, write, execute for Root, System, and Other, with dashes indicating that a permission is denied. So rwxrwxr-x means all permissions are granted to all three groups except for write to Other). This ties into larger aspects of the OS that basically exist to stop individual apps from reading or writing whatever they want without being included in groups.
The fact that you can't do something that shouldn't require elevated permissions, and you're getting that kind of error when you try to execute commands with higher permissions, suggests to me that your sdcard partition is using the wrong filesystem. Sort of sounds like a program tried to treat it like a real sdcard and formatted it to something else, in which case I have a hunch you're going to need to back up your data and do a full reset.
You might get a simpler solution if you ask in the thread for the toolkit you used. It's not something I have any experience with so good luck.
Out of curiosity, are you on Jellybean now? Jellybean changed the address for the sdcard partition, so if the toolkit wasn't updated to reflect this, it seems like the likely place things may have gone wrong.
---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------
Actually if you want to check if it's using the right filesystem, run the command 'mount' from terminal. It'll give you a bunch of information, probably towards the bottom will be a line that mentions sdcard. Mine reads as
/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard0 fuse [more info about how it's currently mounted]
Yours -should- say that if you're on JB. If you're not, it should say something instead of /storage/sdcard0 (maybe /mnt/sdcard? I forget how it was on ICS). If it says something in place of fuse that may be the problem.
..I actually think mount used to say that the sdcard block was formatted as yaffs2, while everything else was formatted as ext4. Or maybe I just looked up that it was yaffs2 online, not from terminal on my phone? I wonder if this whole thing is the reason why some people seem bootloop-prone when flashing JB roms, if the changes have cut out access to important information about the filesystem, it may be triggering a really long error scan if their sdcard partition is large.
yes, backed up in ICS, and went to Jellybean.
doing a 'mount', I believe the line reads
/dev/fuse /storage/sdcard0 fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,realtime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0
The files that have the shield icon have permissions:
rw-rw-r--
Yeah so everything that I can think of for you to check seems to be displaying as though normal. Although I don't know what aspect of these files root explorer is reading to mark them as protected and put the little shield on them.
You've tried these methods (rm, chmod) on individual files within the folder too, right? I guess this comes more from experience deleting protected files in windows, but I've found that sometimes a folder will deny deletion as long as it contains protected files, but it's relatively easy to give yourself permission to delete the individual files one by one, after which the folder goes down too. Possibly time consuming without a batch function, but easy.
My understanding of the fuse filesystem, by the way, is that it's just a virtual layer that allows the sdcard block to be treated differently than everything else on the phone, which is important for what happens when you plug it into a computer and the device is read. And I believe that the sdcard is supposed to be formatted as yaffs2 (everything else is ext4). Not sure how to check that directly, but it's possible that it has been changed to something else. But unless you can't delete -anything- on the sdcard, this seems unlikely.

I guess the only sure fire method of clearing these files at the moment is to do a factory reset.
I can back up my stuff with titanium, so not that big a deal.

Try deleting them directly from /data/media instead. If you're able to delete them there, reboot afterwards to ensure /storage/sdcard0, /sdcard, and /mnt/sdcard are updated properly.

Sorry to necro this thread almost 4 years later, but I had the exact same issue with deleting a folder on internal storage (Android Lollipop). Regardless if you're still here on XDA or not: thanks for this solution.
So.. Not really a I9250, but I guess my problem on i9100 is the same.
For some weird reason this just happened to WhatsApp directory.. But whatever.
After digging deeper and deeper in recovery, it seems like the folder wasn't own by media_rw group, but root
I just had to run
Code:
chown -R 1023:1023 <folder-path>
For some weird reason neither chown nor ls -l were correctly working when booted on normal system

@Cilraaz, I have no idea if you're still on XDA but after at least a week of intense searching I found your advice which solved my problem! Thank you.
My problem was on i9500 (still) running stock Lollipop. I've been preparing to install a custom recovery, and did a TWRP (2.8.7.0) nandroid backup. Problem was I then couldn't find the TWRP backup folder. It would only show in TWRP's file manager. Root Browser didn't show it with SU privileges, nor ES File Browser and connecting it to the PC didn't help either. It's only after looking in /data/media/0 that I could find the TWRP folder.
Hi guys,
I am trying to figure out a way to copy clockworkmod directory to my PC, as the backups are taking up too much unncessary space on the phone. The problem is that via MTP Windows Explorer simply hangs and doesn't copy a thing. My guess is that the underlying issue is the huge number of very small files in the /blob sub-directory.
Could anyone guide me how to accomplish this task, please? Or, alternatively, what other methods of backing straight to the PC are there?
Much obliged!

MTP sucks. I prefer to use adb for this: adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod D:\your\path\here
If you don't want to use the commandline, you can alternatively use an app like ES File Explorer to access a LAN share (shared folder/drive on your computer) and copy files this way.
adb pull?
Any time I transfer anything large it's what I use.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/ /Backup/
I believe that's the directory.
Just rename the "clockworkmod" folder to whatever it truly is if not.
This will put a "Backup" folder on your C:\ drive.
Edit:
Ninja'd.
Thank you very much, guys! I hadn't realised that adb pull could be used for copying a whole directory.
Reverse of this
Can anyone tell me how to reverse this using adb (i.e. move the directory back onto the phone)? Thanks.

[GUIDE] How-to copy files from/to your device
from Petrovski's sig
Thanks for the help with ADB pull. I knew about the push command, but being the noob I am I would never have thought that the opposite was that simple.
Now I have a GNex and I'm almost out of internal memory. I've copied my entire clockworkmod folder to my PC. I was wondering if I could delete the contents of the clockworkmod folder off of my phone (since it's all on the PC) to regain some storage space, and then only return the deleted contents to the phone when I need to do a nandroid restore without any problems occurring. I wouldn't want to go do all that only to arrive upon a large problem when I try to go back to stock JB JRO03C or anything like that.

I want to know this exact answer as well.
if you dont rename the folders, you wont have a problem.
I've found that the GNex toolkit makes it pretty easy to make backups, move them to your PC and restore plus a whole lot more. It's pretty good.

Unable to see clockworkmod folder through file explorer
HI All,
Am not able to see the clockworkmod folder through File Explorer. Whereas after i take a backup through recovery, i can see the backup exists in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
Please help.
Hi All,
Can anyone help with the above issue?
Use adb pull or an ftp server running on your device.

I have a strange problem and I haven't been able to find a resolution online. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can offer a solution.
I have an AT&T LG G3 (LG-D850). When I got it, it had stock KK. I rooted it with Bump and everything was cool. I stayed with stock.
Last night I upgraded it to Lollipop using the stock, bump'd LG-D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM from autoprime. I didn't run into any problems with the install. The phone appeared to be working fine.
However, today I'm having trouble with the internal storage. When I try to download a file from the internet, it's failing. In the stock browser, it just fails. Downloads says "<Unknown> Failed." In Firefox, it tells me "Cannot download file because SD card is in use." In Chrome, it tells me "No SD card."
I'm also not able to move files to or from internal storage. I can cut, copy, and paste files from one folder on my external card to another on my external. However, I can't cut, copy, or paste files from one folder in my internal storage to another folder in my internal or external storage. I've tried both the stock file explorer as well as FX.
I tried the SDFix app from NewApp on the off chance that it would help (I read somewhere it would also work on L), but it had no effect.
I can still download apps from the Play store and install them. However, if I create a new file in QuickOffice, I can't save it ("Failed to save document.") I can navigate to root and copy/cut/paste files from the data/app folder to my external card and other folders. I think the issue is the system/sdcard folder. The owner/group on the folder is root and read, write, and exec are all checked.
Does anyone know what the permissions on that folder should be? Or if that's really my problem at all?
Thanks.

Does anyone know what the permissions on that folder should be? Or if that's really my problem at all?
Thanks.

@suljo94 Awesome! That fixed it! :good:
Googleing restorecon brought up a whole bunch of hits about this problem along with this solution. Too bad I couldn't find the answer unless I already knew the answer
this should be added to the autoprime thread or on the q&a for all variants.
Is there anyway to fix internal sdcard? i get bricket on a F460K and cant install .zip files in recovery philz, when i choose zip from/sdcard resolves "Couldn't open directory" and "ni files found" but i can put files in "sdcard" via adb =/, anyone know a way to fix it?. thanks!.
@bolillo It's in the main thread now, first post. It looks like it was added on 3/19.

@mafury did you try the solution @Sulijo94 posted? That fixed my problem.
Can you install via adb?

I tried using this command instead an it worked for me.
"adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0"
P.S i'm using no SD Card
Would this work for media (ie. mp3)?
I can't seem to find a fix.. All my music doesn't show in any music app and can't find a solution.. Already checked for .nomedia files, cleared media storage and forced a rescan for media and and formatted internal and external SD cards... No luck.
Thanks

Fantastic!! I had the same problem with my LG G3 D850. I installed the stock rom from the TWRP recovery and was with this same problem. After performing this process my problem was solved !! But the pictures of the Camera application are not saved in the internal memory. What should I do to fix this??

I have a strange problem and I haven't been able to find a resolution online. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can offer a solution.
I have an AT&T LG G3 (LG-D850). When I got it, it had stock KK. I rooted it with Bump and everything was cool. I stayed with stock.
Last night I upgraded it to Lollipop using the stock, bump'd LG-D850 20F Lollipop 5.0.1 ROM from autoprime. I didn't run into any problems with the install. The phone appeared to be working fine.
However, today I'm having trouble with the internal storage. When I try to download a file from the internet, it's failing. In the stock browser, it just fails. Downloads says "<Unknown> Failed." In Firefox, it tells me "Cannot download file because SD card is in use." In Chrome, it tells me "No SD card."
I'm also not able to move files to or from internal storage. I can cut, copy, and paste files from one folder on my external card to another on my external. However, I can't cut, copy, or paste files from one folder in my internal storage to another folder in my internal or external storage. I've tried both the stock file explorer as well as FX.
I tried the SDFix app from NewApp on the off chance that it would help (I read somewhere it would also work on L), but it had no effect.
I can still download apps from the Play store and install them. However, if I create a new file in QuickOffice, I can't save it ("Failed to save document.") I can navigate to root and copy/cut/paste files from the data/app folder to my external card and other folders. I think the issue is the system/sdcard folder. The owner/group on the folder is root and read, write, and exec are all checked.
Does anyone know what the permissions on that folder should be? Or if that's really my problem at all?

@P760x when you type adb devices, what do you get? If it doesn't list any devices you probably need to reinstall the phone drivers on your computer. If it does list your phone, then there's something else wrong.

(i'm getting nothing)That's the whole point. My pc searches and founds my device. It perfectly worked on 4.1x JB, it founds instantly.
For some reason,when i connect my phone into mtp (Files transfer to pc) mode my pc can't find any items in phone,so does extraction applications in my phone,it's just all empty, even though i have gApps,custom kdz.
I tried with terminal emulator (android version) - it says permission denied,so i think that requires root? I would get instantly but i can't transfer or download anything to my phone...?

@P760x I noticed that I can't connect my phone in MTP mode unless developer options are on and USB debugging is on. I didn't have that problem on KK, only Lollipop.
If adb devices still doesn't list your phone after that, manually download and reinstall the phone drivers from LG. I've had multiple occasions when Windows eats those drivers, so that's the first place to start.
Hopefully that helps.
