CWM FUBAR

I try not to ask too many dumb questions without researching it myself, and while i found many people mentioning this problem, i never found a solution. At some point CWM 6.0.12 stopped making working back ups for me. if i try to restore anything i make with it, i get an md5 error. the only error i see when i make the back up is error finding an appropriate backup handler. I don't use nandorid back ups too often cause I love clean installations, but it makes my head bleed when something is not working right on my beloved phone.
I'm open to suggestions

Try repairing the check sum with your computer. i use this...

Found a respone that mentions this
"Had the same problem. Delete the. .android secure folder in /sdcard, worked for me after that"
but i can not find this entry on either storage card

so it looks like deleting the .android secure folder was the solution, was a pain to get to though. its a hidden folder that es wouldn't show me, switched to solid bowerser an was able to get it to show hidden folders and it appears to have worked.

ES will show hidden files if you turn on that option (settings>file settings>show hidden files)

Unable to view all files

Today, I updated my GS III with the latest nightly for CM 10.1 and since then, I am running into a weird issue. I am unable to view any files in Windows or OS X when using an USB cable. The only files I am able to view are the zip files I transfered over. Everything else is missing. Even the CM10 file manager is unable to view any files but Linda File manager is able to view everything. When I boot into recovery and select to install from an internal zip, I only see the following:
0/
legacy/
obb/
Nothing else shows up including the zip files I have on the internal storage. The zip files is for things such as Google Apps. But all this installs and is viewable from the SD card.
I have root access, I have also reinstalled CWM and am running v5.5.0.4. I have USB debugging enabled.
I am really stubbed here and getting really frustrated. I am not sure what had happened to case this or what to do.
Any ideas or thoughts?

Well if you did your reading, you'd have seen that the partitions are messing up at the moment due to android 4.2 features. They're working on a 'fixed' twrp recovery at the moment.

Well I did do my reading, for several hours, and found absolutely nothing except for suggestions such as to reboot, disable and enable debugging, etc...And if no one ever asked any questions, even if it has been posted already, we would have a pretty dead forum.
I also have tried CM 10 again, build form a few nights ago that worked fine, and same issue persists. What doesn't make sense to me is that how also in recovery this issue is also happening.

Dude, really? We don't need that here. I agree searching first is important, but it sounds to me like he isn't oblivious. Let's act like adults here.
Anyway, op, the answer to your question is that cm10.1 put everything on your internal SD into the "0" folder. Nothing got deleted, so just move them back and you're good.

Ah cool, you are correct, 0 has everything. Actually there are about 5 folders levels of folders called 0, so it is \internal\0\0\0\0\0\All the folders/files. This explains why going back to CM 10 (Android 4.1.2) why it still does not show up in recovery. I hadn't actually logged in the 3 folders that show up since they weren't popping up via USB.

[Q] From 4.2.1 back to 4.1.2.

Hey,
I went back to 4.1.2 (JellyBam) after using 4.2.1 (PA ROM). But there's a 0 folder inside my internal memory folder which leads to all my real files (music, pics etc etc).
So it's like.
-sdcard0
.....-0 (Folder)
..........-DCIM
..........-Downloads
..........-Music
..........-Titanium Backup
..........-etc etc etc
.....+'Music' which is empty
.....+'Downloads' which is empty
.....+etc etc etc
I searched on XDA, but the only solutions I found were:
1. copy every file to my computer, delete the 0 file (or not) and then put the copied files from my computer onto my phone. But there was no progress in the copying process as it was freezing.
2. Format everything, recovery, and some other things I didn't understand.
So I came here asking for help. Hopefully someone knows any other answer.
P.S. I know I can just chance the location of my backed-up files from TB, so there's no problem in that case.
But it is just annoying and sometimes it confuses me.
Thanks in advance :good:

I'm thinking of the same I'm not digging 4.2.1 that much.

I believe in 4.2 the /0 folder is the new location for the pseudo SD card instead of under /storage/

That's 4.2+ file structure to support multiuser and mentioned in dozens of threads. Just learn to live with it. Google knows what they're doing.

Meh well that's gonna be 4.2.1 for me...this is way too annoying with the files and folders

how is it annoying? you dont see really anything different other than going 1 more folder deeper.

I went back to CM10 (4.1.2) from CM10.1 (4.2.1) and just found it easiest to backup all my files and format the storage. Windows wasnt seeing the storage correctly until after I did that.

How'd you do this? I'm curious to try the cm10.

What recovery are you using?
The issue is with resets and CWM recovery. The problem is your app back ups get covered under 0,0,0 and can't be restored, music apps can't see music, gallery can't see pics etc.
Switch to TWRP Open Recovery and the 0 problem goes away.
Best way to get your SD back in line is to use your PC to move everything back up where it should be. Hope this helps, freaked me out when I thought I lost my SD.

I think some of you aren't understanding the OP's question. He doesn't dislike the /0 file structure (or maybe he does, but I don't think that's the point he's making), he just doesn't want to keep it when downgrading to 4.1.2. That's perfectly understandable to me, and actually something I've been thinking about for a couple weeks.
OP- You have a few options. I think the simplest is to go ahead and flash a 4.1.2 ROM, then use a file explorer on the phone to cut from the /0 directory and paste straight into the main sdcard directory. Option 2 is to use a PC and cut and paste the same thing, but I don't know how quick it would be. Another possibility is to copy everything off your phone onto your PC, then format the storage on your phone, then copy everything from the PC back to /sdcard/. This is probably the cleanest and safest option, but also slowest. I'm sure there is also a way to do it with ADB, where you cut and paste from /0 to /sdcard/, but I'm no good with ADB so somebody else would have to give you the commands. ADB is most likely going to be the fastest method as far as file copy progress, but that's only a guess. I'm sure there are several other options I'm not aware of, but those are the ones I've thought of while thinking of doing this on my phone.
Good luck! Let me know which works for you and how it works........

I went back to a 4.1 ROM at one point and it did not immediately move everything back where it could be seen even with the latest recovery. I found that the easiest fix was to plug the phone into my computer right after the first boot and then move the data to the right folders with adb. Very quick and painless. TWRP does the fix going from 4.1 to 4.2 very nicely.

Downgrading to 4.1.2 from 4.2.1
I'm downgrading because I'm have a ton of blue tooth issues. I'm currently backing up my SD to my laptop then from win explorer I'll copy everything from /0 to the top SD directory. It's not any fun at all.
I wonder how many people will actually use the multiple users on their phone/tablet?

Tablet - maybe
Phone - probably not

lost internal memory

so my wife's gs3 was stock rooted...made backups of everything including a nandroid. everything was on the internal memory. i've flashed carbon rom and now cannot seem to find anything. internal appears to be what was on her sdcard. yet when i go into settings-storage sdcard is greyed out without an option to mount. connecting to a pc only gives me one option to connect to. i can't even restore the nandroid. it's been a while since i've been off of a nexus personally so i'm hoping this is something easy i've overlooked and any help is appreciated, thank you

All your files are intact, they have just been moved around since you flashed the carbon rom.
If you had any nandroid backups they are intact too.
Read the following article and you will see exactly where they are using a file manager like root explorer.

thanks...i'm aware of the recovery issues going into 4.2....and i've been using a root file manager. yet i'm still unable to find any other storage. i didn't wipe it but this was probably the first time i didn't save everything to the pc before flashing. i have so much crap backed up from her previous phones that i will never need. f+cking murphy's law...and while i could be mistaken, this shouldn't have an effect on the sdcard not being able to mount, no?

This information should be accurate enough for OP to find his files.
The SD cards have a lot of symlinks in Android. The one true path for your internal SD is /data/media. Your files are there.

hmm....this always confused me now...i do have the sdcard0 available but not sdcard1 (completely empty)...is 1 the actual sdcard? bottom line, there are other pictures of hers i'm not seeing now and rom toolbox is telling me there is nothing backed up as far as text messages. where ever they're located be it sdcard or internal i just need to find them.

in any case, i believe my card is corrupted. i appreciate the help everyone has tried to give though...thanks to you all

/data/media/ is honestly all you really need to know.. Every single folder/file that exists within your internal storage lie within that directory. Once you find what you're looking for you can take it from there.

Do you have TWRP? You can navigate the same directories using the file manager there or you can simply go into Settings > Storage and look through the categories in which are taking up the most space and remove what you can to then download a root browser and go from there.

[Q] Two Internal Memory Slots???

For some strange reason i have the normal internal memory but also another one under the 0 folder inside of the internal memory. So now i have excessive memory lost because i have two of everything plus some other files/folders inside each memory unit. This is real confusing for me but i noticed it started after i installed JellyBeer, i switch back and forth between JellyBeer and stock and Vectus. Vectus and stock both use the same memory but jellyBeer has its own little thing goin on. TWRP also uses the second 0 folder as its main instead of the actual main one, ES Explorer uses the main one, SMS Backup And Restore uses the second one, MyBackup Root uses the main one after i set it to, and on and on with apps that deal with files. Only one that works right no matter what is music, even download folder is wrong. Any suggestions???, if u understand what im trying to say. Also theres another copy of everything in the data/media folder. So in total i have 3x as much space token from me.

Very well documented, you should search it.

Surprisingly I had the same issue. It was reading from two different spots but when I plugged into a computer it only read from one, I couldn't save all my stuff cause I couldn't get to it. The only way fix it is unroot back to stock and reroot the device. That's what I did anyway, and it fixed it. I think its from flashing ROMs cause it never happened before I gave cm a try. I hope this helps in any way.

The 0 folder is a feature of AOSP ROMs. It has something to do with the multiple user support of JB. When you flash an AOSP rom, it will create a "0" folder for that specific ROM. Even with an app like Root Explorer, getting into the standard SDCard folder will be basically impossible. I personally have not found a way to do this, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I could. Interestingly, the reverse is not true. If you flash a Stock ROM, a la Lifeless 14, you can go into any and all "0" folders. If you take the time, you can go into each and every one and delete it without any harm to your phone without having to do a factory reset.

just to throw it out there flash the original stock rom before going to lifeless... if you dont its not gonna work out well and u just have to be rooted all in all to see the "0" folder...

Well honestly that seems to be a lot of work for something simple if you have to partions and can only see the 0 folder simply use any root explorer and go to root>data>media and you will find the rest of you files there
