].I'm sorry if any of these are dumb question but I'm kinda new to this but if you could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.. so I have wicked rom downloaded to my phone and I believe it is dl to the internal sd. So when I do the wiping that is required to do before flashing... the rom will still be on the internal sd after wipe correct? Also I have the t999 sgs3 but it is unlocked for att. It will still be unlocked right? And when I flash the rom I still put T-Mobile in the set up? Also one more thing how do I know if my phone is ics. 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
*wiping won't delete rom files from internal sd
*it'll still be unlocked
*check android version in settings - about 4.0.4 = ics 4.1.x/4.2.x=jb
AFAIK

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 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.

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.

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
1. In twrp can I format my internal sdcard and then flash a ROM from my external sdcard to make it completely fresh? Will this reorganize everything back to just what the ruin has in it?
2. I see allot of posts on the 4.2.1 sdcard0/0/0 issue. I have gotten the newest twrp and am told it won't do it anymore? Does it only do this when going back and fourth from 4.1 ROMs and 4.2 ROMs? And will doing ? #1 fix this mess? Doesn't seen to be taking up any space on my internal sd just seems messy and I would like to understand it more, but from what I read it's never really explained well. I know it's for multiple users.

Your backups are made on the internal sd so if you format it, you'll format those as well. Also, flashing is made from the root of the internal to make sure everything goes fine.
Not so sure about your 2nd question though.
1. Yes you can. My nan backups are on my external. Once in awhile I do format internal and flash a fresh ROM. Remember though..some app settings and saved data are on internal. Also make sure you back up your pics..if you have them on internal. Make sure the files you need to flash are actually on your external before you wipe LOL
I have my nandroids and my PiCs on my external SD... and the roms I want to flash... anything else I need on the external to format my internal? Don't care about app data and stuff.

Don't do that! Did the same mistake! Let me guess, you tried flashing a 10.1 ROM? Well here is how to fix it. First, flash any ROM you have on your SD card. (Not the 10.1 again) 2. Use a file manager. I prefer ES File explorer. 3. Move all files except "android" up to your folder where 0 is. That includes your clockwork mod folder in side 0. By doing this, you can restore it. Hope that helps!

Sent From My Galaxy S3 Running Stock... WickedCyan10PeopleFreeGS3 ROM!
I have searched around and cant find a answer for this. Its probably something simple that Im overlooking.
When I DL a rom,theme, or whatever when I go into my recovey 2.5.5.0. its not there. NONE of my internal memory folders show up. The SD card memory is there.
Now I use FX file Exploerer....so to flash anything I must move the zip to the "O" folder and put it in downloads. Why isnt my internal memory not showing up? Its a real pain to have to keep moving files when the internal memory has them and it should show in recovery.
Am I missing something here?

The 0 folder is the virtual sdcard (internal sdcard) and there is no need to use it at all, it has the exact same contents as /sdcard.
But don't think of it as a "duplicate" of some kind, it's a virtual partition so you really do not have any duplicate files or folders.
With your file manager navigate to the / root of the phone and there you will see /sdcard which is the default/normal internal sdcard,
If you want to check the external sdcard you would navigate to /storage/extsdcard .
The reason for this is that starting from v4.1.2 of the Jellybean firmware all future Jellybean firmwares are
mulit-user capable just like when you log into windows 7/8 which has the ability to handle more than one user
with security in mind.

Perhaps this is the reason why so many people who have flashed a 4.2.2 CM/AOSP/AOKP rom and for one reason
or another wanted to go back to the Touchwiz 4.1.1/4.1.2 roms kept having all these "error 7's" in twrp and cwm.
