Dumb question
Every time I flash ROM. All files move to /0. Whenever I restore my backup. It keeps file not found. I had to move clockworkmod directory out of /0 to root.
Is this normal?

I am assuming that you came from an android 4.2 ROM, the same thing happened to me when I did so. I had to flash back to any 4.1 rom then manually move all files out of the 0 folder. I STRONGLY recommend that you use odin not mobile odin (its possible, I did it but it's a pain in the ass since recovery will be lost you will be in a boot loop etc etc) so back up your stuff if youre leaving that 4.2 rom go to stock rooted rom then flash what ever you want it is the safest way that I recommend. oh and yeah once back on 4.1 you can move all obb files back to android folder and what not. must move your stuff back to original way or else things like mobile odin and recovery wont find them so easily if at all.
The creation of /0 folders is to support the multiple user accounts on JB 4.2. In order to prevent the creation of endless /0 folders with each flash, update your recovery. I am not sure what version of CWM that is as I use TWRP, but doing so will eliminate the creation of additional /0 folders. You can use a file explorer to move things from your buried /0/0/0 folders into their appropriate locations.
Yeah once I move clockworkmod folder to root and went to CWM to restore my backup then move all files from /0 to root. Its the pain in the ass!!! I like stock ROM. I tried other ROMs and didn't like it.

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/.
I use Titanium Backup to save and load all my apps when I flash a new ROM. I started using a 4.2.1 ROM and wanted to go back to a 4.1 ROM to get the basic Samsung settings. However, when I flash a 4.1 ROM and run TB it says I do not have any files to restore. But then in a 4.2.1 ROM they are there. Is there a way to convert the apps back to 4.1 so they run on an older OS.
Thanks
I could be wrong but I think you have to move the TB files because 4.2 creates the 0 folders
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
When you went to 4.2 the system moves all your files to the O folder in storage. On 4.1 it's looking for them where they originally where. You can copy and paste everything back to its original location but you can not move them at this point.

Do I just need to move the whole folder to the root of my SD card? Or how do you get rid if the 0 folder?

Could you walk me through how to move the file? I went into my file manager and copied the TB folder and pasted it back on my extSD card. Then I took all the files in the TB folder and copied them into a different folder and named it TB2 and still nothing.
Never mind I found it had to relocate the backup file in the sdcardO folder.
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.......
I really want to install this Rom on my s3 was wondering if I download zip file on my phone can I just install it with mobile Odin or cwm install from zip?

While the poster above me provided that answer already. Just by the nature of your question I believe you should stop and wait. Do some more reading and then do more reading. Learn as much as you can. Know what your doing, why your doing it and understand it. You sound u sure and unexperienced. Please Mt advise to you is read the complete thread for that route.. Make sure your reading the Sprint Forums and know all there is to know before attempting anything.

Ok easy enough to flash from recovery. Another question is will I lose all my photos stored on internal SD card?

If you're going to AOSP from a Touchwiz ROM, you'll need to create a 0 folder in the root of your internal storage and move all of your files into it. AOSP 4.2+ treats the 0 folder as your root directory and will not see anything outside of it.

Incorrect you do not need to create anything it does it on its own when going from 4.1 to 4.2 it will move everything to the new O folder it creates.

There's been countless times where I've had to manually move all of my files, otherwise my internal storage is empty. For example, when I jump from ROM to ROM, I use ROM Toolbox Pro to backup/restore my apps. If I fail to move my files to a /0 folder prior to flashing an AOSP rom, ROM Toolbox Pro will not find any of my backups. And it's because none of my files move themselves to the /0 folder. And I'm on TWRP 2.5.0.0.

That's an issue with rom toolbox. Not recognizing where things are located when you flash 4.2 over 4.1. The rom flash will create the O folder and move everything. How would a third party app know where to find it?
Also every time you go back to 4.1 and return to 4.2 it creates a folder again there have been individuals with 10 or more O folders.

A Third Party Application will always search for the file it created because it created it. If the 0 folder directory is treated as the root, then it will still search for /App Manager. But I was just using ROM Toolbox Pro as an example. I've had flawless transitions from going to ROM to ROM by moving my files into a newly created 0 folder everytime I go from Touchwiz to AOSP and when I go back, I simply move everything back from 0 folder to root internal and delete the 0 folder. It's a bit tedious - but I'm used to it now.
Hello All!
I seem to have gotten a strange directory structure after going to CWM and CM
/storage/sdcard0/
and /storage/sdcard0/0
both have the same directories underneath. With /storage/sdcard0/0 being the directory that shows up when I move stuff onto the phone and /storage/sdcard0/ being the directory that holds the CWM backups.
Is this normal? And if not is there anyway to wipe it to be normal? Even when i'm trying to install a new rom I have to use , use last directory .zip install of the normal download folder (the default one goes to /storage/sdcard0/)

I had an error like this yesterday while flashing stock rom using LGPNST and going to CM 11.
If going between CM Roms and Stock roms, keep both. Copy root to "0" folder. Easiest way
After you flash your rom, make sure you factory reset, thats what did it for me. I was using TWRP though.
Thanks for the help. I eventually figured out it was partially due to what you mentioned + clockworkmod. changing to TWRP and flashing CM11 made it all go back to normal
