I installed cm10. And it messed up my directories. How can I just start over as if my phone exchange is newly rooted.

By messing up, do you mean a "0" folder that appears in your sd card?

Find the stock file which I think Is in one the development sections and extract the zip file and open Odin and select the extracted .tar.md5 file, then it returns to stock

I did that but nothing shows up on internal sd card when I try to install something. I actually deleted the 0 directory. I odin'd it to stock, but internal sd still looks the same. Is there a way to return it to the way it was before I rooted it????

This happens when people don't read before Modding. This has been a known issue since 4.2.1 came around and there are workarounds posted for this

Basically all the 10.1 tons create an emulated ad card and place all your data from your original sdcard into a 0 folder inside that emulated apace. In order to fix it. You copy all the items inside the 0 folder and move them to the outside which would be the root . if you restore back to stock you would still have the 0 folder . so just move them from 0 to internal sdcard and then delete the folder. If you deleted the folder you are actually deleting you actual files and not copies of them. There are other suggestions and that's where people suggested teaching through the forums.

Just don't delete anything without making sure you have all your files copied. Or even better copy them to your computer.

EDIT: I apologize for not including this earlier, but I have attached dexopt-wrapper.bin to the bottom of the post. Unzip and push it to system/bin. Then give it the correct permissions which are
Read Write Execute

I haven't seen any tutorials on how to odex an apk sooooo i thought i'd throw one up on here.
Before we begin, of course, a great big thank you to strongsteve, mpcdata and Capp5050.
Well first things first make a nandroid backup in recovery. Once thats done follow these steps.
Apps needed if doing it on the phone:
1. Rom Toolbox (I have the paid version)
(You can also just download a terminal emulator)
2.Get both Root Explorer and Astro File Manager.
3.Use Root Explorer and go to either system/app or data/app (system/app is for system files{most if not ALL of these files are already odexed} data/app is where you can find the apps you've installed from the market{!!!-I'm pretty sure the launchers are in system/app-!!!})
4.Copy the app that you want to odex into a new folder on your internal sdcard named "app"(in case you mess up you don't get problems ;D)
5.I suggest you write down the name of the app so you don't have to go back and forth if you have horrible memory like me =D.
6.Open up your terminal emulator and type
dexopt-wrapper /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.apk /sdcard/app/insert.name.of.file.here.odex
7.Press enter and check that new folder you made named "app", you should see both the .apk and the .odex file.
8.Next long press the .apk file in Root Explorer and hit Open With and then select Astro File Manager. Astro should pop up with three choices, you're going to click Browse File.
9.In that file you should see "classes.dex". DELETE that file.
(NOTE: you MUST do this from within Astro because if you unzip it will break the signature and file will be usless{unless you can resign it})
10.Once done you exit Astro and head back into Root Explorer, copy the .apk and .odex files and put them back into the folder you got the original .apk from (system/app or data/app)
11.Once you put both of them in there you need to fix the permissions, simply long press on the files (one at a time ;D) and scroll down the pop-up menu to Permissions.
12.You will have three columns Read, Write and Execute along with three rows Owner, Group and Others.
Your Permissions should be (this is for both .apk and .odex)
Read Write Execute
--X----X-----------
--X----------------
--X----------------
(I've attached a picture below of what your permissions should look like)
13.Once your permissions match the above diagram hit OK and restart your phone and your app is officially ODEXED.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me. I'll be glad to help with as much as i can. =D
NOTE:To Everyone: If i forgot something PLEASE let me know.
: To Mods: If this shouldn't be here please move it (if unnecessary, delete it)
Alred hit yo button but just wanted to say thank you in writing.
....um one major thing...your gonna need dexopt-wrapper script in system/bin to be able to odex within the rom
Was actually just wondering about that cause my script was in the rom already. Ill look into that in a few cause I'm going back to bed XD and you're welcome Cole I hope it has clear instructions XD

Im not sure but check to see if the app folder you created is App or app and try it however it is there
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
You can also try odexing it from within its originl folder
Ex. dexopt-wrapper /data/app/galleries.apk /data/app/galleries.odex and then copy the apk somewhere outside the data folder and delete the classes.dex file then put it back in the data folder and set permissions.

Fair enough, don't rush into anything then. Read, read, read..... Plug your phone into your computer, click in the downloaded rom, drag it into your internal sd card (phone) or your external card (micro sd) reboot into custom recovery, wipe, then flash rom, then reboot

It might seem like a lot of reading and info at first but if you are interested in flashing roms it's worth it to avoid turning your device into a brick.
To respond to your op I use es file explorer to copy files from pc to device via lan shares.
Flash rooted stock firmware via oden on your pc. Install custom recovery (cwm I find works best for stock and asop or aokp over twrp) and make sure you do a backup (nandroid) and IMEI prior to flashing a Rom.

Cool. Thank you guys! I appreciate your support!
With my previous phones, someone made a flashable zip to restore sdcard back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2. I guess it gets rid of the 0 folder and restores the file structure. Anything like this floating around? Thanks

I don't think we need one. If you run stock ROMs, delete the 0 folder. If you run CM ROMs, you can delete everything but 0 folder, but some files will still show up again in /root. If you run both ROMs keep all.

It's the logcat that eats storage, which can be deleted. It's in /root for stock. And in /mnt/shell/emulated in CM. I know I'm at least close on CM location.

But if I delete the 0 folder then won't I lose all the pictures videos and twrp backups? And how will twrp work then? It seems to only use the 0 folder. I don't have a twrp folder other than in the 0 folder.

Android 4.2 implements a multi user thingy giving the first user /0 the seccond /1 ect
I've never had a /1.........its always 0.......if I keep flashing back and fourth it creates another one inside the original 0 folder
/0/0
/0/0/0
/0/0/0/0
Like this......the more times if flash between tw and aosp the more times it creates another folder named 0

Before you flash..wipe internal sd..done.
If you haven't had another person log into your phone and its only been you, you won't get a /1 folder.

Depending on your recovery tool it may not have moved everything properly to the 0 folder. You might have duplicated all your user data. Use a file explorer and check the contents of sdcard. I think you should pretty much just have a 0 folder there which has all your stuff in it. I'm back on 4.1.2 now so I'm working from memory. Basically go up a level from your 0 folder and look what's in there.
When I first flashed 4.2.2 I used an old CWM and found I had duplicates of everything. I've since gone to PhilZ and all is well.
