So I feel like a noob, but here goes. Going into restore from recovery shows to backups I created. I can not find these folders from any explorer. I've checked all /clockworkmod/backup folders under /storage/ and they are all empty. I also tried searching for boot.img and gave up after a few mins, I also searched various responses on the net.. So where else could the backup folders be, i'm running a 4.2.1 rom.
Thanks

I'm using v6.0.2.3 could it be a version issue and the backups are not actually created...
Recovery still shows two folders and shows the location as /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ and ES file explorer shows that folder as empty.
So I don't think it is working. I let a search from root finish for 1970-03-02.03.38.38 which is showing in recovery and it found nothing. I'm curious why recovery is showing these folders, does it keep a list of backups in a file somewhere.
Figured it out. Right in ROM manager it states, In Android 4.2 backups are placed in secure directory, inaccessible to other apps.
So anyways..
*edit*
If anybody else happens across this, if you enable root explorer the secure folder where the backups are can be accessed.
In my defense I didn't have rom manager installed...

Sorry, I took for granted that you knew more about root explorer, my bad.
As for ROM Manager, please unistall it. It will only cause problems.
use "ES Filexplorer" and enable hidden files in the settings menu. Then go to the root folder in ES and look for a folder called mnt and you will find it in there
I know its an old thread but took me a while to figure out.

I wanted to delete the folder from root browser, apparently it deleted, but the folder remained there. So what I did is quite simply, open up a terminal, su, then rm -fr /mnt/whereclockworkfolderis, and that's it.

Now this one just makes me wonder. I was cleaning out some files and of course I ran across this one. I have, actually two backup files. Im deleting the older, however I noticed something odd and pulled up properties of the file. I have no idea as to why it says the file was created in 1969 or as it says 1970 in the file. Is this some possible issue?

No. When you reset a phone, it doesn't have the correct time. it's like replacing the battery of your bed alarm clock. So when you create a file, it will use this date.

Well that's even more odd. You think that if it didn't know the correct time or date, it would probably reset to 2000. But 1969, 1970? Weren't PCs way back then, so where's this very odd number coming from? A Grand-Father Clock? There was a period that many PCs weren't ready for when the time came. The turn of the century, when 1999 went to 2000, it was a numerical difficulty with Computers. Kind of makes what you are saying difficult to believe shall I say. It's a really odd number to reset to.

Bad flash do it again... I had the same issue updated everything and nothing helped til I rebooted wiped and reflashed rom.
Or try to install superuser and see what happens
I was reading somewhere that if you restore a backup the permissions or something get screwy and the only known fix is to re-flash the rom. it sucks

Had the same issue. I had to reflash. This occured after a Nandroid backup for me.
Have to re-flash, I had the same issue, I did not realize I was on a Nandroid backup. Just do a fresh re-flash and you should be good to go. All of my probs with this are posted in the themes area, they are in the Android pissing on Apple boot animation thread =)
Hello,
I rooted my X10 mini and still can't delete stock apps from the system folder. The root explorer shows R/W but when I try to delete a .apk it says "Delete failed".
I'm not very confortable with flash or re-flash (stock ROM). Can you help me?

Remember, you can't delete a file that is IN USE, ie; system files. You need to freeze/disable them first THEN delete them! Watch what you delete though, some files are needed, some files that you least suspect, and will cause problems if you delete them.

I'm experiencing something similar.
I have root on stock os but recovered from nandroid.
I can create folders, files, rename, edit text etc on some directories, yet I am unable for others.
I am trying to undrestand if this is because of
1) Nandroid backup
2) files are in use and I cannot edit or create folders in those directories?
I am trying to create folders and edit files in the /sys directory.

Are you using the 'Root Explorer' app to do this? If not, I suggest you get that from the Play store first. Secondly, make sure the "root privileges" are enabled in Superuser for the app.
If you have already done what I mentioned and still occur problems, may I ask what folders in the 'sys directory' you are trying to change? As majority of the files/folders you are seeing in that folder are there for a reason and named accordingly for your phone to utilize that directory and keep the phone working.

I am using root explorer app.
I have root privileges as well. The phone is rooted and permission is granted to RE
i was trying to change or create a new folder for the CPU states because my cpu spy wasn't reading any cpu states (which is another problem im facing).
1) With root privileges am I suppose to be able to create folders in any directory? I seem to be able to create/rename/edit files only in some directories. I seem to have the option to mount as r/o and r/w only on certain folders. The other folders defaulted to mount as r/w. I've also changed permission on the folders as well.
2) Why can't my BBS and CPU Spy read my cpu states, but can only read it when i enter in with my SetCPU app?

Unless you know the exact name and which sub-directory to place the folders to link with the apps you have mentioned, I suggest you do not add or modify anything.
The apps such as CPU Spy utilizes your phones kernel to determine what your usage is. What kernel are you using for your phone? Maybe flashing a new one would help.
I'll look in to the issue more and post any other solutions if I find any. Good luck!

1) I understand that its not too safe to mess around anyhting in that directory. But.....can regular rooted users with RE edit that folder? If so, its a problem I'm experiencing. If not, then probably because that folder is in use. When I enter /sys, its mounted as r/w but there is no option for me to change it to r/o.
2) Everything is stock. I understand that CPUSpy may not work on certain custom roms, but what about stock?

The app may not be compatible with a stock ROM/kernel. Hopefully someone else on a stock ROM can help you confirm that.
That's a possibility.

I've never needed to use CPU Spy as SetCPU is more than enough, so I apologize if for not being able to answer that question. It just seems like a compatibility issue with what you are currently using, nothing for you to be worried about.
Can anybody tell me why I might be able to see folders when I go through a file explorer on my phone, but when I connect to it with my PC I don't see those folders?
Ex. I flashed a 4.2 ROM and it hosed my SDCard I believe. Lost ability to view files, backed up things to Titanium and didn't see anything when I did that but could see it when I looked through a file explorer on my phone.
Wiped my phone and set back to factory. Reflashed, transferred backedup files back to phone, same issue for some.
Did my appbackup using AppBackUp on my phone and changed the folder name, but that folder will not show when connected to my PC, but again when I look using a file explorer it shows just fine.
One other things I was getting was a "local folder" with the date 12/31/69 when viewing my SDCard on my PC. Nothing in it, but never showed before and had a windows drive logo next to it.
ANY IDEAS!?!?!?!

I do read them and have. Finding the files that were moved wasn't the issue...it's new stuff I was installing or changes I made weren't showing.

I know this has been addressed but I was hoping you could help me and my friend out because we can't seem to find a definitive answer out there....I have tried about 8-10 4.2.X ROMs on my galaxy nexus and every time I do the files are moved into sub folder 0 because of multiple users and the restructured file system that comes with it.....now our problem is that when we use 4.2 or 4.2.1 ROMs the files are invisible no matter what I do....I used many different file explorers and yes I have "show hidden files" checked off. However when I revert back to 4.1.2 the files appear again.....even when I hook my phone up to my computer when running 4.2.x the files are invisible and they are nowhere to be found so that I can merge the old and new file folders...so basically when I'm running 4.1.2 everything is great but when I flash 4.2.x everything is moved and cannot be seen or visible on my phone or computer until I revert back to the previous version of android (4.1.1 or 4.1.2). Any help or problem solving is much appreciated once again thank you for the time and patience for dealing with us lol

So what do you exactly have in /sdcard/ after you flash 4.2?
Oh and assuming you know that you have a folder called "xyz" and it becomes invisible, then did you try searching using the "Search" function of the file explorer you are using so it can find this "xyz" for you automatically?
The files should be stored somewhere because you see them when reverting to 4.1.2 so I think that determining where they are should help in understanding what's going on and what to do later
Note: I have to sleep so I will check this thread again in the morning if no one helped you already

First and foremost let me say thanks for taking the time I really appreciate it.....OK.....yes I have used the search function.....let's see here.....so currently I'm running PACman ROM android 4.1.2.....I'm using ES File Explorer.....so when I use es explorer and go to SD card everything is there....games media pics videos basically everything I have on my phone....now when I flash a 4.2.X ROM I download es file explorer and I check off show hidden files.....when I go to SD card a brand new set of files have appeared....including but not limited to "Android" "Notifications" "Downloads" etc. It brings a whole new set of empty folders to the foreground and all of my original folders were moved.....but I can't seem to find a way to "go up a level" to see my original files and see folder "0" with this new set of empty folders.....I basically can't find a way to go up one level and see the entire contents of SD card on my phone or on my computer it just automatically brings me the the newest folder "0" with no way to go up a level no matter what I do or try
Actually in ES File Explorer you will not be able to go up and see the files of the root directory unless you are "rooted" and do the following:
1) Run ES File Explorer
2) Click on the botton right 3 dots
3) Click settings
4) Scroll down to "Other Settings" and choose "Root settings"
5) Check the first three options "Root Explorer", "Up to Root" and "Mount File System"
Now if you start ES File Explorer then you can go up one level by clicking the "up" icon in the main screen
Afterwards, maybe you can search manually or via the Search function to find your files

I'm having the same issue as the OP. I can see all file structure with Astro and root explorer, yet I can not see them with my windows computer. All I can see is internal storage and the folders that are in there which seems to be just the main folders.
How are you able to see the rest of the folders in windows explorer so you/I can put my backups back on my phones. Titanium is saving to storage/emulated/legacy. Yet I can not get there through my PC. This is driving me nuts. I have a fresh install and want to get my back up stuff back to the correct locations.
Thanks

It seems you have your Titanium backup folder on your PC and you want to send it back to your phone, right?
If so, then just move the titanium backup folder normally to your /sdcard/ then follow this post to let titanium detect the folder you sent to /sdcard/ then restore your apps

You are correct and I have everything pretty much the way I want, but I think I have extra folders in my internal storage. I can now see the main storage from windows and it is temping to just keep going with what i got, but I have this nagging feeling that I have something wrong.
Like in this thread.
4.2 roms + CWM 6.0.2.3
your old files are located in data/media
4.2 creates its new SD card directory in data/media/0
take the files you want out of the old directory and put them in the new one and they will show up on your computer.

Hi everyone, I have massive clockwork backups on "Sdcard0" which is the internal space on my GSIII (I assume yours are named the same). Well since 4.3 update I cannot access that space to delete the roms (or most files for that matter) like I could before. I managed to use a root explorer and found one of them but not the other one I had on there. My question is this, what can I do to get full access back to this drive? Thanks, Jeff.

If you have flashed any custom ROMs in the past, look for a folder called "0" on the root of your internal storage, and look inside of that. Also make sure "show hidden files" is checked in whatever file explorer's settings in which you are using.

Well on ES I have that checked and I can look around to find things but what's really bugging me is when I hook up to my computer I can file manage like I used too. It looks as if folders are empty when I know they aren't. I think more than anything that's what I'd like to fix or at the very least verify everyone else has the same issue.
