How to fix the "0" folder?

Hi I flashed CM 10.1 with twrp, but was created the "0" folder in my sd card. Somebody know how can I fix this problem?

Googling helps when trying to find answers...
There are a lot of guides on how to "fix" this. If done CORRECTLY you will have only one 0 folder. You also need to update your recovery to the latest version.

The irony.
OP. It's a 4.2 thing. Not a problem. Use the search in the future there are dozens of threads about this.

I DID help you.
I WAS going to leave it at the Google part. However, I left it up to you do your own work instead of spoon feeding you.

this isn't a problem as such, this is just a new feature in 4.2.1. so if you create another users a folder called 1 will be created and so on, this is just the user-space of that particular user.

use TWRP recovery

Like the others said it's not necessary an error.
It would be an error if you flash another ROM and you end up with "Emulated/0/0" folder struckture.

For 4.2 roms, Install CWM recovery 6.0.2.3
Backups made after the instilation will be in data/media/clockworkmod.
To see the backup when you usb connect to a computer, you need to move the backup to data/media/0/clockworkmod.
The data/media/0 folder would have already been generated and is your new SD card directory.
CMW now has .tar back ups set as default. This means no more blobs folder and a complete backup is made.
You can select to save using the blobs folder method if you prefer.
So keep in mind if you have a backup using the blobs method that you want to restore, you may have to restore it before installing the latest version of cwm or switch between the .tar and dup methods (untried by me)
D3VIOUS runs a clockworkmod revovery thread on the development section, read the last 3-4 pages and your pretty much set.

it isnt a "problem" the sdcard format changed in 4.2 due to the multi-user feature being added.. now you have 2 choices
1. flash the latest twrp and you will only have that one "0" folder
2. use the guide linked in my sig to revert back to the old sdcard format and get rid of the "0" folder

FL16 One Clicks are easiest. Try the Rooted Restore or Nodata (depending on if you're already on that version)

Download the attached apk.
Make sure that you have unknown sources enabled in setting/security
Install the apk
Run the app
scroll down to 'Root device' and tap it.
Let it do its thing and if it doesn't automatically reboot after I would say 8 to 10 minutes, reboot the phone.
You should be rooted.
Do not do anything else other than what I listed unless you read the entire thread i posted for you.

Not allowed to flash clockwork?

You can't do it from ROM manager. Like I said, Don't do anything else.

This thread should have been done after garwynn said to use the one-click listed... that is the answer to rooting this phone, especially for the new folks!! Once your rooted you can use mobile odin to flash a cwm kernel if you wanna go to a custom rom.

It's nice to see people actually help noobs out. It all seems so easy once you understand how it works but it can be overwhelming and a little verbose. Especially, the instructions for the Roms I started with and hoping inside that you don't brick your phone on the first try.

I do thank you all for the help. I did somewhat mess it up but recovered and flashed rooted ics and agat recovery. So thanks again. Can't wait to start flashing. By the way I was in recovery to create nan backup and it says sd-ext not found sd-ext skipped shows md5 then complete? Is that normal? Or should I be able to see it on sd? It seems as though it has taken up space but wanting to be sure? However.. Thanks so much

That's for if you have an a2sd partition on your sd card.
I like to break stuff!

So its ok? That means it is on my sd? Just trying to be sure since the backup isn't obvious by name. Maybe it is but I haven't seen it. Or maybe I've overlooked it? Any advice on what it would be labeled as?

No it skipped the sd-ext partition during backup since it doesnt exist. Your backup location depends on if you chose backup to internal or external
I like to break stuff!

It doesn't let me choose external and also now I cannot move aps to my sd card? Says unable to move ap? Is that due to flashing the new recovery? I followed the steps and it rebooted correctly however now it saves nandroid to my internal only and won't allow apps to be moved to sd? Any advice? I've looked all over and am somewhat confused.

Depending on the cwm version It does it automatically if you just choose backup but it should give you option in backup menu below to backup to internal sd card. On my phone it's always been on extSd/clockworkmod/backup.
If you Mobile Odin agats New FL16 repack, it gives you option for sure

Or jb cause I have the v8 jb downloaded I'm sry for all the question I just wanna be 100% before I do this

I'll try to answer a few of them which i can

*it'll still be unlocked
*check android version in settings - about 4.0.4 = ics 4.1.x/4.2.x=jb

If you're worried about losing any if your important content, including your nandroid backups, I recommend either transferring your content to a flash drive or to your pc that way you'll always have it and know where to look for it in case anything were to go wrong on your phone. You can also upload your content to a cloud but that can take a bit more time. If this helped please hit thanks as it really does help my status here on XDA.

No. Nandroids are recovery dependant. You would need to revert back to TWRP in oder to restore that backup and vice versa if a backup was made in CWM. Install GooManager from the Play Store, hit menu, then select "Install Openscriptrecovery" to flash the latest TWRP.

You can either delete them from a file explorer from storage/extSdCard or just pop your SD card into a micro SD adapter if you have one and delete files from your computer

You can use CWM or TWRP. What he's saying is you cannot recover a TWRP backup through CWM or vice versa.
So if you plan to use CWM, make a backup with CWM so you can recover in case something goes wrong. Your TWRP backup will not work with CWM.
Wicked is a great rom, it's what I use everyday.

[Q] {Q}Not able to full wipe

Hey, guys. I'm looking for some help here. I've been having some trouble with a few recent ROMs. I try to do a full wipe and do a fresh install of the new ROM, but I get an error saying something about being unable to read the lost + found file. I think it was deleted somehow because I can't find it. Does anyone know how to get it back? Can I possibly just reinstall a recovery or something? I don't actually know where the file even comes from to begin with.

Bump. Really needing some help.

Have you tried restoring a nandroid back up?? (If any)
At least you can start your search for a solution with a working phone.

I don't have a recent Nandroid backup at the moment. My last one would take me straight from AOSP 4.3.1 all the way back down to TW 4.1.2 and I just don't like that idea. It's caused me complications before.

File explorer?

CWM Restore 4.1.2 to 4.3.1-> Different Phone.

My screen got broken, and I got a new phone from insurance. I was on 4.3.1, and did a CWM backup which was stored in secure area. I used ADB to copy it off to my PC>
I now have my new phone, and it is 4.1.2. I installed CWM, and copied the files from the PC to the Clockworkmod/Backup directory, now on SD card. When I try to restore, I get a MD5 check error. From both backups.
Do you reckon I need to do something special to restore a CWM to a different phone? Or something about the fact it is 4.2.1, and I'm trying to restore a 4.3.1 backup?
Any thoughts appreciated.

Well, I have tried several things. The backup must just be bad. CWM seems to always fail me when I really need it to work.
I would have used TWRP...but my screen was dead, and so couldn't control TWRP.
Sigh...

Well, that link is great. It does indicate how to restore the md5, and get the restore going. However, in my case, the data will not restore. So my CWM backup is no good.
