hey guys so i installed CM10.1 recently and what i notced something weird was I have the 0 folder with all my android files ect in the SD card and what not and then i also have all those folders inside the 0 folder on the root of the SD card? so i like have doubles? :/ what do i do? which ones do i delete?
there's a billion threads on the 0 folder thing. use search.
how about instead of writing use search, which i know how to do, you answer my question, theres a reason i asked this question on a thread, because there are thousands of others and i dont have time to go through each thread to replicate my problem ... just answer if you have an answer if you dont then dont bother writing "use search" ... people these days thats all you do on Q&A ... like either help or dont i dont want use search ...

i'm sorry im not going to spoon feed you like you want.
clearly you dont know how to use search as you wouldve found your answer about 40 times.
can you please stop replying to this thread, you are not helping me in anyway ... if you want to help, HELP. if not, go away.
Mate, you're going to get the same from everyone as it's been answered a thousand times before. In a nutshell, update your recovery to the latest if not already and then read up on why Google has set this new folder structure up
Google took 0.3 seconds to find me this...

That's not what the OP says now is it!?!?!
The old folders will be left behind but they should be copied into the '0' folders as well. It's easier to format and then restore the data using TB or something similar (I'd imagine, I don't game on my phone so never worry about it!!)
As for Zepius - he probably didn't see what I'd posted

this. cause you edited your post
The 0 folder has always been there for 4.2 plus. It's for multi user. If you had searched and actually read a thread or two you'd know that.
You'd also know to either live with it since it's the future or get rid of it the usual way.
That's why everyone is (correctly, might I add) telling you to search.

Maybe you should do a little reading of your own, like to what i posted, i Dont care about the 0 folder, im trying to say i CANT ACCESS MY DATA cause there is a 0 folder and All the android folders do you not understand?! whats with people being so aggresssive you cant even get help .. this is what a forum is for .... youre telling em to search but i keep getting multiuser 0 ... i dont care about that ... read my post THEN reply ... dont assume after seeing 0 i am just asking what the 0 folder is for .. i know its for multi user i can read ...
Edit: Honestly forget this thread, clearly you cant come here to ask questions without being attacked to use the search button as if its wasting your time and money ... didnt know this was a place for only professionals that know everything there is to know about anything ... will ask else where next time ...
Then why didn't you remove it yourself? There is an entire thread dedicated to getting back to the old file structure?

1) it has nothing to do with not being able to ask question, it has to do with following the rules of the forum. if you had said you looked at some of the threads by using search and didnt find the answer you needed, it would be different. the fact that your original post just had to do with the structure of the /0/ folders and not where your game content was pulling it from made a difference
2) this forum was originally founded for development for the O2 XDA phone so they could unlock the extra features, it was not started as a helpdesk
3) your mannerism/response are the reason people are being hostile towards you. the fact that you stated refused to use search said it all.

I want to know before hand so I dont do anything dumb to it, will simpleroot work.
Simpleroot
Yes, Simple Root is the easiest.
I don't want to be rude but you should search and read before posting this. I've got a grand total of 2 posts here and I've figured out how to do everything by just reading these forums.
I used the instructions at the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=721055 If you are going to use this one, make sure that the files you download are before Section 5 (The section for rooting with the newest OTA)
I was unaware that simpleroot worked for the newest OTA, but as I see now, I could have saved myself quite a bit of hassle. If simpleroot for whatever reason doesn't work for you, use the link in my comment and read over Section 5, say... 3-4 times before you go at it with your phone!
Best of luck!

While the OP might be contributing to cluttering the forum, your post is cluttering the thread and has no use. If your'e going to scold someone over the search button at least give him an answer first then tell him to use the search button.
Sorry yeah I should of searched, yeah three years is a long time but my post count is what 200, thats roughly five post a month, and most are clumped together with back and forth conversations in certain threads, so Im not that saavy, and/or experienced with the forum despite my three years. But like what was said earlier in the thread, you can cut some threads in half if you remove all those posts telling the OP to search first.
There is a new-ish SimpleRoot OTA that does work... I did it. Check the version on your phone first to be sure which SimpleRoot to use. If you don't have that notorious OTA, the OTA version won't work.
However, the method misterneums links to provides backing up of your personal data/settings. If you have any such things, you might just want to use that method first, or at least use a backup tool before using SimpleRoot, as it will erase all such data.
oh people come on i really appreciate all the work your doing here but your talking about flashing custom roms and unlooking boot loader !!! and stuff like that but the thing is i don't even know how to install a cutom roms and i'm sure there r many guys like me out there so please be easy on us so here what i want to know and i'm sure if you answered this topic it's gonna be a useful one
1-do we need to backup out things from phone memory and sd card before unlocking our phones using the new htc dev thing ? and if yes so how to make a full back up ?
2- we will do the unlock boot loader thing and there is a good tutorials out there
3- after unlocking the boot loader i think we have to do a complete wipe or some thing like that and then flash a cutom rom right ? so please tell us how to do that wipe thing and install a rom and which rom is the most stable one out there
4- can i go back to the old rom which is htc 2.3.5 if i didn't like that boot thing
5- with custom roms is it posible to install apps from the market ? and what are the deferences in general between the 2.3.5 official and any rom i will install after rooting ?
thank you for reading this post all, i'm asking for is an easy 1 2 3 .... complete guide for noobs
Well, problem is not you guys are new. Neither your lack of knowledge about the topics.
Mostly the problem is that people do not read and open new threads for topics already existing. I wrote 2 tutorials and I think I wrote them a way new users can understand.
Using a searching machine or forums search is no advanced topic. When I was new to it all, I spend like 2-3 days of reading and finding out myself.
So, look at our point of view: we write tutorials that are detailed and answer questions all about in the respective threads. We can't write a whole tutorial again for everyone not willing to read.
And to almost all questions, there already is an answer. And I think if you want to do stuff with your phone you should search and read. then you still can ask questions. But often people come here this way: Hi, I'm new, now tell me exactly what I have to do.
theq86 first of all i appreciate your time
but you can't judge me !!!! i spent 2 days reading and searching all i could find was people talking about new roms and stuff like that and expressions that i don't understand
and i tried to the search tool btw if u type noob you will find tons of suggestions with no match topics
so i'm not taking the easy way or any thing
and rather than complaining from my post you can point me to those threads your talking about for new comers it would have been nice of u
I don't blame you in particular, I just give examples. So sorry if you understood it that way.
Well, here we go:
1-do we need to backup out things from phone memory and sd card before unlocking our phones using the new htc dev thing ? and if yes so how to make a full back up ?

Yes, I'd recommend that. You can backup all your PIM data (calendar, cntacts, messages) with MyPhoneExplorer. If you have synced everything with google you can restore it afterwards with a full sync. But I'd recommend MyPhoneExplorer, because you have your data on pc then.
During the process of unlocking the phone and all of it's data will be reset!
2- we will do the unlock boot loader thing and there is a good tutorials out there

When you flash a custom rom, be sure to wipe the cache partition, the dalvik-cache and the data partition. otherwise bootloops or malfunctions could appear. Wiping all these is very easy once you have a custom recovery tool.
4- can i go back to the old rom which is htc 2.3.5 if i didn't like that boot thing

You can go back to stock rom. But this will not recover your warranty. You can even lock the bootloader again if you really wish. How to do so is stated in my bootloader unlock tutorial, too.

Yes, in case you use the cyanogenmod rom you will have to insall the google apps manually, but market is available on every rom.
The differences between stock rom are manifold:
themes and designs can differ
custom roms often include fixes and tweaks to improve device speed, stability and battery life.
Most roms are debloated. So never used apps are removed.

thank you very much for your time i really appriciate it , but i still have some more questions
1- after unlocking my bootloader do i have to install a custom rom or can i keep using my current 2.3.5 i understand that it will be like starting from scratch
2- what is the clock recovery mod and where to find it and how to use it " in this question i'm using the easy way beacuse i know i'll find info about this thing if i searched the fourm but who want's to take the hard way thank's to you "
3- i've read some thing about adding an sd card partition to the phone memory or some thing like that please give me a full description about this thing and can i add this partition to my current stock rom after unlocking the bootloader with out installing a custom rom if it's possible ?
oh sorry i forgot 1 more question
people are saying that cyeanogen rom is the best but i keep reading that it's not an official realese and the radio and wirless and camera etc ... is not worknig but there is the 7.2 version i saw recntly on the dev section which is said to work perfectly so is it stable ? it it fast ? do you recomend me to use it ? i'm asking this question beacuse i noticed you r a cyanogen mod fan
and to install any rom of course i'll have to do these steps
1- flash the clock recovery mod which you will point me to how to use it
2- flash the custom rom and that's every thing
and to flash these things i but them on the root folder on my sd and disable the fasy boot option then turn of the phone and power t up holding the volume down button and it will do the magic am i right ?
Search on marketplace for clockwork mod - use it to boot to recovery mode - then, if you have a flashable zip rom stored in the root folder of your phone you can just flash the rom from there - best to backup and wipe first

After reading through this thread and chuckling a little bit, I came to the conclusion that rooting may not be for you, iximedaixi. Not to be mean or anything. But the guides here are excellent. I'm just saying that it might be something for you to consider because the WFS makes an expensive paperweight.

but thank you anyway
I did some forum searching & Googling but I'm not able to find a reliable, working method of getting CWM recovery on the Note II. I want to keep the stock ROM, but not the stock recovery. I'm rooted with stock recovery right now.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
look harder. Perhaps find a thread talking about root in the at&t noteII general forum.

"look harder"? That doesn't help me much. I used that "search in this forum" feature, where I typed in "clockworkmod" and came up with no results. A threat talking about rooting doesn't necessarily mean it will discuss CWM (I also checked the thread here for information on CWM, since that's the root method I used, but no dice). Not really sure which thread you want me to play hide & seek with.
Sorry to say but the person who responded to you is right... look for a thread that contains root for the note II
Really? You want to root your phone, but you are incapable of following simple directions? I did everything but give you a direct link to the thread. I told you which forum, which subforum, and a keyword to look for in the thread title.
If you aren't able to handle it, please DO NOT root your device and please DO NOT install a non-stock recovery.
Edit...im sorry guys...I want to keep this place pleasant and friendly.
I googled it and found it here and on the site I quoted.

Which part about my post is rude? I think you might be misinterpreting...
I'm very serious that if you are unable to find the post with the information you want based on the instructions I gave, that you have a high risk of screwing up your phone by flashing stuff on it. That's not being rude. That's trying to be helpful. Asking you to PLEASE not flash your phone is so I (and others like myself) don't have to spend the time trying to help you fix your phone afterwards (and so you don't have to spend the time asking for that help.)
Not everything on these forums is spelled out and spoon-fed to users. It's assumed that they have a certain amount of innate ability and prior knowledge. Lack of that ability and knowledge results in broken phones. I'm trying to help someone like that in another thread - they flashed the wrong thing to their phone and now, basically, they are screwed.
Granted, I might not come off as "newbie friendly" or even "user friendly." I'm an engineer. I'm one of the folks that make the things that people like you flash. For some reason people like me don't usually come off as being "nice."
I'm going to try (again) to be nice. Here's a link to a post I think it'd be good for you to read. This post tries to explain in a different way what I'm trying to say here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45
I suspect that if/when you understand that post, you'll better understand my replies.
take care and good luck
Gary
Thanks, it's sometimes hard to read tone on here, so i apologize for any misunderstandings.
I think i have a really bad time finding information, not because I'm a newbie at flashing, but probably more so due to the fact that development in this phone is so fresh, there isn't much information to centralize yet. But once i find the information i need i can usually handle the work involved.
I ended up finding the post you were talking about (well, i can only assume). Unfortunately i didn't find a walkthrough or step by step instructions. But at least i know a better place to find the information.

Does it have to be cwm? Because for rooting, chainfire has cf root. And for recovery, twrp already supports our device. It's all in the original development sub forum. Won't be hard to find either. Those two things are the only threads existent there for now

Does it have to be cwm? Because for rooting, chainfire has cf root. And for recovery, twrp already supports our device. It's all in the original development sub forum. Won't be hard to find either. Those two things are the only threads existent there for now

Actually, that's a good idea. I had used the CWM Recovery originally on my i317, but found that when I tried to restore a backup I made with it, that nothing was actually restored. TWRP, on the other hand, seems to work okay backing up and restoring.

Twrp has come a long way. To be fully honest, I kinda hated it at first, I don't even have a clue why, since I didn't try it prior to forming those feelings about it. But then I actually got to flash it, after some self convincing, on my s2 lte and it grew on me very quickly. And now, I prefer it over cwm

If you need exFAT then use CWM which comes with CF_root which you can find the Original Dev forums. Use Odin,click on PDA then select the CF-Root.*.att file. It's that easy.
One thing about TWRP is that it doesn't support exFAT formatted SDCards, so if you have a 64GB like most folks on here & need exFAT for larger than 4GB file size, then CWM is the only way to go.
I think i may just wait a bit until more options become available. I don't need it right away. I'd rather sick with CWM since that is what I'm familiar with.

That's entirely up to you. Although I would suggest giving twrp a go, even just to try it out. My favorite features in it are the option to name your backup in recovery prior to creating it, and the fact that it actually does things faster than cwm

I'm looking for the best noob friendly way to root my sprint sph-l700 Nexus running stock JB 4.2.1 . I delayed posting this and have searched to no avail on it . I've watched qbkings vid from last year but that seems antiquated, then have also seen a few internet post about a way called casual . I have rooted 2 phones in my life , last week , both were sph-d710s and were quite easy . Can anyone point me to the latest , noob friendliest way to root my phone running jellybean 4.2.1 ? thanks . I wouldn't mind finding one that installed suuser and allowed for custom roms when I get up the nerve to try that .
There are stickies in the Q&A forums. Or in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26328017. The basic method never changes, even when Android updates.

QBkings method is to download the sdk tools and theres several parts to it , done in the early part of 2012 . Then I see a few articles around the web offering sort of a one click method but specifying that I need old versions of android . I believe you about methods but what about updated files ? Just go ahead and use the older files ? If I download that casual tool for 4.02 that will work just fine ?

if you are relying on 1 click tools, you have no business rooting your phone. if you dont understand the basics, you have no idea how to fix everything if something breaks/you do something wrong.

Why don't you let me worry about that and spit a straight answer out which is all I asked for . I paid for the phone and if I break it that is my business . I have yet to get one straight answer for one simple question . How many people have rooted their phones with a one click method ??? You have no business answering this post unless you can answer the question .That's the problem with threads like this . You ask a question and you get ran around the world with cryptic answers instead of one simple answer like " this will do it " . Why not just answer the dang question ? Btw , yes the method has changed . The qbking method/video was back when the phone first came out and there are simpler methods which are one click methods with info related to older android versions so while . I don't want to use that method which is why I came here to start with to get a couple of simple questions answered . There are multiple methods . You have yet to contribute anything to this post related to my inquiry . I rooted the other 2 phones with one click and nothing broke .

I thought you mean rooting in general. If you're looking for one-click tools specifically, I have no idea; I have never used one. You might want to specify that in your OP and title.

no the problem is people like you who are too lazy to do:
1) search, this question has been asked a billion times
2) read
The method has not change. period.
you fastboot oem unlock the phone
then you fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery.img
then you adb push the su.zip over
then you flash the zip.
The above steps have been mentioned so many times its not funny.
since you have no idea what you are doing without a 1 click, you would then post here again with something along the lines of "OMG MY PHONE IS BRICKED HALP!" and at that point, i wouldnt give you the time of day because 1) you posted this retarded thread asking for something that could have been found in search 2) you used a 1 click.

Actually the problem is people like you that makes a thread longer than it needs to be . I came here to ask a question . You proceed to beat around the bush basically saying nothing then telling me what my business is , I've read your method you pasted about 20 times . You didn't answer nuttin for me I didn't already know and read already . heres where I went to another popular forum , asked the same question , got one answer about 10 minutes later and its was right on . Nobody asking me why I wanna do it , telling me its not my business doing it and giving me off the wall answers . yeah , you sure been the problem in this thread and still don't understand the original question yet . LMAO , heres a good answer . Now if I bricked my phone I can assure you I wouldn't ask you for anything . I'm not lazy but phones aren't my life . I just want to root mine .
If you're using Windows, using Wugs Nexus Toolkit will automate most of the procedure. Download and install the program. Once you run it for the first time, select your device and OS version. First you'll need to configure your adb and fastboot drivers. It will walk you through doing this. Next you'll have to unlock the bootloader if it's still locked. Once again it will do most of the work and walk you through doing any things you have to do yourself. Finally is root the device. Same thing, it will do a lot of the really techincal stuff and walk you through the manual stuff after that, reboot your device and you're rooted.

Actually I'm sorry if I offended ya'll . They can close this thread cause i'm not coming back to it and when the next new user comes along looking for an answer this thread would only serve to confuse him . Forums stay neat by people asking specific questions and getting specific answers . What should have been simple turned into something it shouldn't have .

Er, I don't think you realize that you're replying to two different people; I tried to be helpful right at the beginning, before you specified that you wanted a toolkit specifically, but it seems you'd rather be rude now.
Also, my point was that you should mention details specifically in your OP and thread title, not just throughout your posts in the thread; otherwise, people would need to read the entire thread before figuring out what help it is you need, making them less likely to help.
Finally, you can hit the little triangular report button in the upper right to ask the mods to delete a thread. Mods can't be expected to read every post. And forums stay neat by having people read the stickies and not post oft-asked questions.
You are correct and I apologize to you . I in no way meant that to you . Your right about the rest of it too . Sorry for my error . As a note the wugfresh worked great and simplified the process very well .

Hello;
After I got root access, I deleted some unneccassary apps, unfortunately one of them was really important. I can't tell which one and I don't have backup . Now I have no signal. Phone doesn't detect sim card. So I can't call, text... I need to know which app detects sim card. Please help...
Thanks!

Using non-descriptive topic/generic titles and then also bumping topic after 10 mins does NOT help your case.
People are more inclined to simply ignore your topic if it doesn't have a correct title as this is what people see when browsing forum. It also doesn't help people who use the search for topic titles. Also this isn't your device tech support so nobody here is obliged to help you so just created your topic and be patient. Only bump topic if it goes of first page and only after 24-48 hours.
The solution is simple, just re-flash your rom over and next time don't just blindly delete things you "think" may not be needed.
