RECOVERY can not recognize files - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after flashing CM10 ROM , in my recovery i choose install zip from sd card but there is no file, and i can not restore from my previous back up, please help , thanks

Have you checked if the folder where the zip files are is /sdcard, /sdcard0 or /sdcard/sdcard0?
I think CM10 and TW based ROMs use different naming conventions for the storage folder.

Yes you can. That's where your nandroid back ups are though so just make sure you really want to delete it.

[Q] Recreating emulated/0 every time you flash ROM

hey guys i was wondering if there was a way to either consolidate or merge all my emulated/0 files on 4.2.1 ROMs
i was running Illusion by itsmikeramsay and every time i update to the newest version it creates another emulated/0 version to start storing files in..
is anyone else dealing with this and if so any solutions to the this or quick fixes?
also i just switched to Task & Ktoonsez's 4.2.1 ROM and its showing all my camera pictures are there but show up as gray files unless i go view them in root explorer
much thanks to anyone that can help!

Update your recovery to prevent new /0 folders.

TWRP 2.3.3.1 personally. Download it through GooManager from the play store.
How would you recommend merging all the folders together from all the other /0's that have been created? Just take what I need out of them and delete them?

Use a file manager to move them where you'd like and delete the empty folders.
I flashed a 4.2 ROM just a little while ago. Its weird...I still have everything in my internal and external. But also have dups in storage folder. in there i have an emulated folder and sdcard1 . Then in emulated I have "0" and legacy folder. And it looks like all the same files.
Also..unless i lost my marbles..looks like my download folder is gone

[Q] Emulated Storage Problem

Well ever since I went on to 4.2 my internal drive has emulated and legacy and like 3 versions of my SD card. If I download a file that's a 100 megabytes, my phone triples it and I lose 300 megabytes, my storage folder looks like this,
storage>emulated, sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk0
Then in emulated...
emulated>0, legacy
Inside "0" and "legacy" are exact copies of my SD card (sdcard0)
Does anyone know how to remedy this, its ridiculously annoying, thanks in advance...

You could always format data and re-flash your rom. I believe this happened because your recovery was not up to date. Since i have updated to TWRP 2.4.1.0, I do not have this issue. I have read that you can copy the files to where they should be and delete the folders. I would search in this forum for emulated storage and see what comes up.
Ah arite I'll try that, but as for the formating data, I do that every time I flash a ROM (mounts&storage>format data), do you mean formating SD card? But yeah def gonna update my recov. Thanks dudette

Are you sure you lose 3 times the file size in storage space? I don't have a 4.2 ROM, but it looks to me that your files aren't duplicated in multiple folders. Instead, "0" and "legacy" are more than probably just links/shortcuts to the same storage space in your SD card.
Lol yes I'm positive, its ridiculous, and if I delete something on one of the folders, its deleted on all of them, ugh...

Same thing happened on my SGS2 running the newest AOKP. The fix is that you have to format the internal sdcard. There were many users that had multiple "0" folders. I only had one but did notice that I lost some files or thought I did. They were in one of the legacy folders though. They were all my old nandroid backups. So back up anything you need from your internal sdcard to somewhere else and reformat it. Then add them back in. It is a different format on how/where files are stored.

Is just for multiple users. Just Merge them together and update to latest recovery and it won't happen again.

Go to data media folder beside a single 0 folder delete or move everything to data/media to data/media/ 0. Problem solved. If got more then one 0 folder such as data/media/0/0 you will have move everything from the 2nd 0 folder to the first. To repeat data/media should only contain a single folder named 0. Everything should be inside data/media/0 that's your internal sd card. If after you move delete everything in data's media folder a few folders pop back no problem but no files. Look for hidden files. Also update to latest recovery. Data/media old sd. Data/media/0 New sd..
Data/media/0 /0 is old recovery issue A's bad. It won't go away on its own but will stop multiplying once update recovery check my Sig my twrp listed goes drop box with all latest recoverys.
Clean data/media out but check before delete **** if you need anything just move to data media/0 and don't delete the first 0 folder
K buddy good luck search for more info

[Q] PACman Rom missing media and files ...

I have just started to use PACman Rom and i kind of like it. But the problem is that the files and folders from the previous stock rom are missing both in my PC and phone. But the usage of the internal storage doesn't change at all.....Can someone help me??
Your files probably didn't get moved to the correct location when you flashed the rom if you came from a stock based rom.
Navigate to /mnt/shell/emulated and they should be there. Move all the files /folders (apart from 0, legacy, and obb) to /sdcard

Folders/files only found on TouchWiz ROMs?

I have a lot of music on my internal SD card and I can find all of these while I'm on a TouchWiz ROM. But as soon as I flash an AOSP ROM (for example I'm using MIUI right now) I cannot find these files or folders where these files are. Also, note that in order to flash a new ROM from TouchWiz, I have to move the ROM from the download folder into "0" and put it in the root of the "0" folder.

I don't have much experience with anything other than touchwiz, but try connecting to your computer and move all music from internal onto external. Not sure why it's not picking them up. Maybe you wiped all your files when transferring between touchwiz and the other?
I didn't wipe them because if I go back to TouchWiz I will have them all. But I will connect it to my laptop to see if they are visible there. I have no external SD card. Also all of those files are under "miscellaneous" in the MIUI file explorer.
