I've flashed dozens of roms in the last month & for some reason cwm (I think this is the culprit) creates all these 0/ folders & it's really annoying. Now all ym downloads, music & apks are ALL over the place. Is there a fix for this? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help.

Its not CWM, its 4.2+ roms, they partition your sdcard and store everything in /0 rather than in /

So is there a way to, I don't know, clean it up I guess? Or should I search the forums a little harder?

Make it fresh and format it and install everything you need or want on it. That way you know what you have installed.

You can do a nand backup of your rom if its working fine and youll know that its there if you need to go back to it. You can also back up everything on the computer amd save what you need. Then format thr sdcard and bam your done

So when i flash any ROMs i always do the instructed wiping before anything else but I've come across some ROMs that instruct that you wipe the system? What gets erased when you do so?

Does this happen every time? Or just that one time?
If you could, boot into TWRP, make a nandroid, do a factory reset. If it works, then it was [probably] a little glitch. If it doesn't work, go into the advance menu and copy the recovery log to the sdcard. After that upload it here. That'll help a lot. Also, you know, if it did work and wipes your data then you'll probably want to restore your nandroid.

Wow, um, let's see; you could try to redo the data partition. I don't know that that'll fix anything though. Plus it would wipe everything in /data including your internal sdcard ( /data/media). I've never seen or heard of anything like this. You could also talk to Dees_troy (sorry if I'm spelling that wrong), he did make TWRP.

All I can say is just flash another recovery.. And then if you want try to flash TWRP again. That should solve the problem.

Did the thread i linked to do no help? The zip in that thread will put you back on stock unrooted mb1.
I honestly don't think root has anything to do with your memory issue. I would bet there is leftover crap that didn't get deleted somewhere.
You can try formatting your internal sd card, though that'll delete everything, but it'll give you a fresh start.
Make sure to have a backup of something on your external sd card though.

If your memory is low, make sure you don't have ROMs or big downloads left over from downloads. Make sure you delete the backups with a file explorer.

If you made a backup of a custom stock ROM, like Optimus, Nexogen, etc., you'll be fine. Nothing to worry about.

Before. So if you go back and forth between. CM, AOKP, Stock, etc make sure you wipe everything but internal SD. And use TWRP 2.5.0.0 in my opinion.

I'm not the guru. I just get lucky. As for EFS... autoprime has that area.
But from what I know, and from what I've done.... you should be just fine. I've done it even on nexogen, and OpTimuS with no problems.
People are modding their phone so much to get kk to run it , that it's creating alot if problems IMHO.

If everything on your phone is as it was when you created your EFS backups, you'll have no problems.
Be just be aware that even that backup may not save our butts. As we all know these phones can be picky.

LGNPST is the only other way.
FreeGee's files should be in root of your SD under freegee. If you backed them up to your computer or cloud, just copy it back to root.
The problem was that stupid 0 folder. I moved the files from the 0 folder to the other freegee folder at the root of my storage and voila..."your efs has been restored up"

So I just rooted my one. Currently on stock ruu but rooted with super user all that stuff and twrp installed. I've always backed up, wiped, and restored roms using a phone that had a SD card. My question is when I wipe and restore, will it erase everything on my device? How does it work exactly. Thanks in advanced
It won't wipe your internal sd, So all your files are safe. The wipe is pretty much the system data and settings.

The storage space on the One acts as if you actually had an sd card and is treated as such so basically everything on that part of your phone's storage is left untouched when you're flashing roms and modifying system files. If you're afraid to lose certain things just back them up somewhere just in case.
