I just flashed 4.2, and it moved everything into the /0/ folder on my SD card, just like everyone said it would. Is it safe to use root explorer to move everything back out of the /0/ folder onto the root of my SD card, or will it screw something up?
im having the same problem, my nandroid is in the 0 folder, (actually its in 0/0/clockwork/ when i moved up to the root folder, made a clockwork, cwm could not find it.. ANYONE have any info on how I can get my back up?? ps i have saved it to my computer...and used the g/n toolkit to push it but doesnt show up upon recoverymode.
You should not move it to the root folder. It will cause your root partition to run out of space and screw up the phone. Move it to the sdcard partition, which is located at either:
/sdcard
/storage/sdcard0

Ok, thats what I meant to ask, I just didnt put it in the form of "/sdcard"
what is the "zero" folder for now? why is it there? why cant i get cwm to find my dman nandroid to go back to? can someone tell me wtf is going on? when i click on restore, NOTHING cwm says there is no file, but when i browse, its now in the 0/clockwork/backup folder, but /sd there is nothing, how do i move it?? when i push with the toolkit, it doenst work.. can someone PLEASE help me out?
i have tried, re lcoking the phone to erease everything.. what do i need to do? i just want my old nandroid back please.
j
why do ull want to move it out of the 0 folder if its not causing any problems ? i don get it.. if its not causing any problems why move it ? just let it go !
They changed the filesystem layout for multi-user. So no, moving it out of 0 will do harm. /storage/sdcard0 now points to /storage/emulater/legacy. You could symlink some stuff around, though. Don't blame me if you screw up.
Or just wait for your recovery to be updated for 4.2's fs layout, then all should be fine. (what else breaks because of this?)
Edit :
I found a more elegant method :
Create a shortcut (a symbolic link) in /data/media named "clockworkmod" that points to /data/media/0/clockworkmod.
Steps are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657 - this is for the nexus 7, but I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work on the galaxy nexus.
Original post :
I noticed that if I make a backup in 4.2 using cwm, it backs up to /data/media/clockworkmod. All my old backups (the ones I made before 4.2) are now in /data/media/0/clockworkmod. Is it safe to copy the contents of /data/media/0/clockworkmod over to /data/media/clockworkmod, so that I can restore my old backups if I want to ?
Soo, I know there's a lot of these threads around, but I can't find the answer I'm looking for. I'm wondering: After I flashed 4.2 I got this extra "0" folder on my internal sdcarrd. Can I just cut/paste the content of the "0" folder back to the original sdcard root? or will this have a negative effect on the storage?
Regards.

I had this issue earlier so i moved everything back to the root folder and deleted "0". If you are planning on flashing a few 4.2 roms i suggest you use the latest TWRP recovery or wait for the updated clockwork recovery because everytime you flash 4.2 roms they automatically create a 0 partition so you will end up with 0/0/0 etc depending on how many you flash
K, thanks!
I think I'll just copy the content of the "\0" folder back to the root, and stick with the ROM I'm on now. Then I'll update CWM when an update is released.
Aaargh.. I'm getting kinda pissed now..
When I try to copy the sd-content back to the root, it says that the device has stopped responding, or isn't connected. Can you tell me what is the standard root folder for the sd-content?
After installing a previous backup the was still a 0 folder so I copied all of the files to the root folder however it made the pictures unable to view

I've tried several methods to move my clockworkmod folder out of the "0" folder to the sdcard "root" to no avail.
I'm currently backing up everything from "0" to my desktop. Once that's done, how can I push the clockworkmod folder to the sdcard "root"?

Seems like there are some problems copying big folders over to the root. Try to first copy the CWM folder from your PC into some folder on the sd-root. Then, from your phone, open up a file explorer and copy the CWM folder to the root. Pretty weird, but it looks like it's working for me..
Edit: Yupp! worked for me. Hope you'll sort it out aswell.

What file explorer did you use? Every one that I've used takes me directly to the "0" folder when I hit "sdcard" thus I can't seem to paste the clockworkmod folder into sdcard root.

move it to /data/media
---------- Post added at 12:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 AM ----------
here's how it works
before the virtual link to /sdcard was /data/media
cwm was writing under /data/media so cwm folder would show up under /sdcard as well
now the virtual link to /sdcard is /data/media/0
that's because of multiuser (even if multiuser is not working on phones)
cwm is still wriyinb to /data/media so cwm golder eoll mot show up under /sdcard
solutions
1. to copy cwm foldrr on pc: move cwm folder from /data/media to /data/media/0 that is to /sdcard then attach phone to pc and copy folder from sdcard
2. to restore from a backup on your vomputer: attach phone to pc, create cwm folder on sdcard andcopy h erebackup folis, copy cwm foldef from /data/media/0 into /dara/media
it is normal to have a /data/media/0 which means /sdcsrd
it is not normal to have /data/media/0/0 which means /sdcard/0
the latter happens on your second installation etc.

I haven't updated to 4.2 yet because of this sdcard/0 issue I'm reading about
I don't care much about what's on my SD card besides my Nandroid backups so the only thing for me is: can I restore a backup from CWM if I move the "clockworkmod" folder from sdcard/0 back to the root of the SD card?
I assume there's no other adverse effects of all our files and stuff being on sdcard/0 instead of just sdcard root?

read my commeny above: yes, although cumbersone, yes
I'm thinking this is the appropriate thread to post this so here I go. I flashed the newly released 4.2 rooted stock image and there were a few problems :
1. I forgot to delete the cache/dalvik cache, which created a bootloop and completely messed up my device, and I had to wipe/factory data reset from the recovery to fix it (in which case I had to lose almost all of my data)
2. I accidently overwrote an existing nandroid backup of the previous (CM 10 stable) ROM I had made to restore just in case anything happens, so I was out of options to restore my nexus to a working state. I finally had to use the crashed ROM's nandroid backup using an advanced recovery so I had my photos, videos etc intact. I got it finally working but anyways,
3. I restored my apps+data using titanium backup. I wanted to go back to my CM10 backup which I had made using ROM manager and it was still present with the rest of my data. But when I selected the backup which made, the device restarted and gave me an error stating "SD CARD MARKER NOT FOUND" :crying:
Now I'm unable to restore or even make a new backup with ROM manager. And to add, I have like three folders for storage using up too much space on my sdcard :
1. root/sdcard - I have no idea where this came from but it sure has an awful lot of my files copied there
2. root/storage/sdcard0
3. root/storage/emulated - has two subfolders : 0, legacy
All of the above locations contain the same exact files and I just want my nexus back the way it was. I know I can flash CM10 right away but I just wanna get some help on how to delete and make changes to these added folders by properly moving the files without crashing the os.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am having this issue as well and am very very annoyed. Please help. Thanks. I cannot get into recovery manually or otherwise. Keep getting Andy with the red exclamation mark in his chest and must remove battery to reboot.
Fu#k rom manager and CWM use TWRP an rom toolbox pro an you will be fine on 4.2 JB.

Update: got it working.. had to flash back cm10 stable, move files around and get back the old ROM manager backup and restore it. Its fine now. Not to mention the 4.2 ROM was pretty unstable on my nexus, causing several reboots and sometimes it froze (especially when I connected it to my desktop) and I had to remove the battery and put it back in to get it working. Moreover the 4.2 rom screwed up the file system, making my nexus' SD card unreadable on any desktop. It just wouldn't install the drivers whatsoever. I'd wait for cm10.1 than try any other custom 4.2 from now on.

You can download Root Browser Lite from play store, which gives you complete access to the root of your phone and internal files such as system/.
every time I flash a new rom I get a new 0 folder. Right now I have my titanium backups on /0/0/0. Wtf google??
How to solve this?
There are many, many threads on this.
Thanks for the solution.
U need to upgrade to the newest clockwork mod or twrp. They both have the fix for that now.

This problem has been fixed in TWRP 2.3.2.1 here so ensure that you are running this version not an older one.
Or you may download GooManager from Play Store then install the latest TWRP recovery from it to ensure that you get the latest version

Yup! I'm on 2.3.2.1 which is the latest for the VZW Gnex (toro) and I still have that 0 folder problem every single time I flash a new 4.2 ROM. I even move all the contents of /data/media/0 to /data/media such as my Titanium Backup folders and it simply can't find the files. I noticed every boot up the 4.2 roms also make new "Android" and "Music" and "Movies" folders and when you delete them, the browser, gallery and other things won't work. This is very frustrating. I've searched high and low and I seem to be finding the same answer. Make sure you are on the latest TWRP and that'll fix the problem. It hasn't. Any other suggestions?

Actually I have a GSM GNex and I can confirm that the 0 folder problem is fixed with me using the latest TWRP (2.3.2.1). Check here for the thread of TWRP at the Verizon section maybe you can find why you still have the 0 folder problem
Regarding Titanium backup, this software is great and you can choose where to let it look for the backup instead of the regular /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ location. All you have to do is:
1- Start/Run Titantium Backup
2- Go to Settings (the three upper right vertical dots)
3- Select "Preferences"
4- Under "BACKUP SETTINGS", click the first option which is "Backup folder location"
5- Click on "DETECT!"
6- Choose "SD card"
Then automatically it will search your SD card for the Titanium Backup and display it all for you.
Hope this helps

If CWM is unable to find the nandroid backup because it is moved within the new 0 folder(s), then here is what I have done when I was in the same problem :
1- Download any file explorer (I used ES File Explorer)
2- CUT (or copy if you have a lot of free storage) the "clockworkmod" folder from within the 0 Folder(s) and paste it to the main /sdcard/ location, so both the 0 Folder and the clockworkmod folder will be at /sdcard/ location now.
3- Reboot into recovery and CWM should find the nandroid backup because it is back to its correct place as it was before being moved into the 0 Folder.
I recommend that you make a copy of the clockworkmod folder to your PC before attempting any of the above steps just in case something went wrong while copying or cutting (moving) the folder so you can try copying it again. In other words, make a backup of this clockworkmod backup
Hope this helps

Oh sorry for misunderstanding you earlier.
I haven't encountered this before but you may try a file explorer which has a search function (such as ES File Explorer) so you search for "clockworkmod" folder or something in the whole sdcard. I hope it will find the backups for you this way.

How everywhere did you get? They must be there somewhere...
Did you try under
/mnt/sdcard
? That's the actual directory, the various others are symlinks to it.

/mnt/sdcard is a symlink. The physical file location is /data/media (or /data/media/0 in 4.2 and higher).
Edit: Specifically, the physical internal storage is found at /data/media.
/data/media is fuse mounted as /mnt/shell/emulated.
/mnt/shell/emulated/0 is then symlinked to /storage/emulated/legacy.
/storage/emulated/legacy is then symlinked to /sdcard, /mnt/sdcard, and /storage/sdcard0.
So the files seen in /sdcard are files physically located at /data/media/0. As such, files in /data/media can use space, but not be seen when looking in /sdcard.

Did you do your nandroid backup using CWM? If yes, then it will not be compatible with TWRP.
Did you use the latest TWRP 2.3.2.1 ? If not then your nandroid backup should be in sdcard/0/ after flashing PA with android 4.2 so TWRP will no longer find it. You have to copy or move the TWRP folder from within "0 Folder" to the main sdcard/ location then TWRP will recognize it again. And remember to update your TWRP to the latest version to avoid this problem again.
I hope I have covered most of the possibilities regarding your case. If not then please provide more details

So I just got the chance to flash a 4.2 and like I said it created a new 0 folder under data/media/0. I deleted the 0 folder so I would only have data/media but when I go to open the browser it doesn't do a thing. Even the gallery. And when I reboot, I see it creates the same folders I just deleted. What gives?

I have no idea why your TWRP on your verizon GNex is not helping you get rid of these 0 folders. I checked the changelog of TWRP 2.3.2.1 for the thread at the Verizon section and the Original (GSM) section and they are identical!
Anyway I have never deleted or do anything to data/media/ even for 0 Folders. I used to move the data from within the /sdcard/0/ location to /sdcard/ then delete this 0 folder on the sdcard, nothing else. I checked my 4.2 GNex now and yes there is a 0 folder in data/media/ but this is not affecting my sdcard and how apps like Titnatium and TWRP are finding the backups and related files.

Hi all,
Thanks for helping me out with this. When Jelly Bean was first announced I tried an unofficial ROM that was very buggy, so I went back to an AOKP ICS build. Since then I switched to CM 10.0 and continued to use it for a while until I heard about the recent Paranoid Android builds so I decided to give Jelly Bean another shot.
As we all know, Jelly Bean places its files inside a folder titled 0 (Zero) on the phone. When I upgraded the first time, all my files were automatically moved into the 0 folder and when I downgraded, they did not move back but I could still see and access the 0 folder with my old files in it. So far, so good.
Since I was using that configuration for a month I took a lot of photos and downloaded some files that I definitely don't want to lose. So imagine my surprise when I installed Paranoid Android and I could no longer access my old pictures and files!!
My guess is that the files are still on the phone's memory, but since the operating system now sees 0 as its root folder, it isn't aware of all the files existing outside that directory and can't physically access them using Astro or Android File Transfer (or Windows Explorer).
So my question to the amazing community here is this:
How can I access 100% of the phone's internal memory?
I assume there is a way to do this from recovery, but I don't want to do something that could potentially delete those files before I get to copy them to my computer and the folders inside the 0 directory.
Any and all help is appreciated! Thank you!
Use a root explorer (like ES File Explorer) and move the files into the relevant folder under 0
Hi,
i have the same problem than you ><,
appeared after flashing nightly CM10.1, the only solution to remove the folder "0" than I found is to save everything (by ftp because by usb connection I did'nt see my file) and formatted the sdcard ... not clean solution...

ES File Explorer is not working for that. It still doesn't see the old folders. Any other suggestions?
I tried using ClockworkMod recovery and selecting "Mount Storage" while connected to my computer but when I click "Mount Storage" nothing happens. Any help with this would be appreciated, because when I browse using ClockworkMod Recovery (like for a .zip to install) I can definitely see the old folders with the old files in them.
So as of recently TWRP will not read the current files in my storage on my OG. I download new files and reboot recovery to flash, IE kernel, and TWRP still shows old files and not new ones. I've gone through and deleted old files and left only the new ones in the sdcard directory but TWRP still reads only old files. I'm using root explorer to delete/ move files, i have flashed the recovery about five times through GooManager, and have even flashed an older TWRP in fastboot. I'm stuck... any input??
What ROM are you on?

It will recognize the 0 folder as your SD card. You can either move all the files out of 0 copy to sdcard and delete 0, or just move stuff that you want to flash into the 0 folder. I did the latter because every time I flash aosp the 0 folder returns.
I looked for the 0 folder, but found nothing. But it did seem to happen shortly after flashed cm. Must be it I guess I'll have to format storage.
I have this problem and I can't restore or flash a rom since I can't find the files. When you say delete internal storage what does that actually do? I don't want to lose everything including my backups (which I did save on my laptop) and not be able to restore my phone. I am currently just rooted stock but did flash CM10 to play a little bit.
Put my zip files in the 0 folder and my TWRP theme in the TWRP folder inside the 0 file and it see them and works. This zero file thing is weird. I'm hoping I can get rid of it eventually.

You could try and sideload a rom with ADB to the directory that TWRP is reading from.
If you use Root Explorer and go to root(mount R/W), you can access your 'new' backups under data/media/TWRP. This is where I found all of my back ups after flashing a new ROM. This seems to be default storage for back ups, at least for me, so I copied my original stock back up form my 'sdcard' partition and brought it to the new location. That way I have an original configuration in both places; cover all the bases that way. Hopes this helps others......:good:
BTW - I am running EOS right now; not sure if this will be the case for every ROM flashed.......
