Enter recovery, choose "0" folder and see there.
Wasn't sure what got you confused,now i realised. One of the new features on android 4.2.2 is the "multi user", a feature similar to Accounts on windows. There will be a folder for every user,starting with "0".

Hello everybody, i'm here since a bit of time and i've always found every solution to my problems. Now i've made a very big mess. So.. i used to have aokp rom, and clockworkmod recovery. Then while trying to update, i tried TWRP 2.3.3.0 touch recovery. So i made a backup from the recovery and everything and then a full wipe.. the problem is that this recovery doesn't show me the SD card partition, and the backup i made was saved in /data, which was formatted with the wipe.. now i'm trying everything.. GNexus Toolkit, Odin.. but i can't get out of here.. any ideas on how to get back to Clockworkmod?
Edit: it gets in bootloader, recovery and download mode but there's no way my pc sees it, neither with the GNex toolkit nor with Odin
Did u try /data/media/ ?

yes.. but after a wipe that folder is now empty.
Edit: if i turn it on, the GNex toolkit, while trying to install ClockworkMod reeboots it in fastboot and then it says waiting for device.. why is that??
Flash clockwork recovery using fastboot.

When it gets in fastboot, GNextoolkit can't find any device.

1) put on your big boy pants and stop using a toolkit
2) its failing cause the drivers are not installed correctly.

Now with adb if the phone is ON i can communicate. I'm trying to put a ROM inside data/media and I can put it, but then it's not showing up in the recovery..?

Okay my phone been saying I can update it now, which I still haven't done it yet one cos it really not a big file i noticed & two it seems everyone got some issue with it soft bricking the phones... My question is what did the update do? & anyone got the update w/o soft brick & is rooted?
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium HD app
No clue. But if you haven't touched anything in the /system partition (I.e. removing the bloatware, installing 3rd party drivers from apps like viper4android, using xposed, etc etc) then the install should go just fine.

someone said if you aren't rooted already and take this update then you won't be able to root and if you take this update while you have a custom recovery installed you will soft brick your phone.

I tried the update. On my GPro was rooted on stock Rom. Got stuck in horrible CWM boot loop had to restore with LG R&D test tool... was kinda scared for a minute.

So how do we do this update? Go back to stock & root it but dont flash a custom recovery? This is so much work for that lil update.
Seeing as this is question #3648596925385925486526595 about the matter, just don't update. Its not that big of a deal. Its still 4.1.2 nuff said

Have you tried it and it worked? I tried it once before after I restored my phone from a soft brick caused by the update, then I ran freegee and it would show the screen where it says the bootloader was unlocked with the LG logo then jump to another screen with just the LG logo and just kept looping in that boot forcing me to do another restore. I don't know if something went wrong and that's why I didn't work

Can you get into recovery? If so, try and sideload a different ROM to see if it works.

Even with flashtool does not work, my phone does not appear in the manager ...
I tried everything ...
In recovery mode, it shows me using this mode, service center can back up and recover your data. Press and hold the power key more than 8 seconds to reboot and continue using phone.
How do I get the OTA Kit-Kat with a rooted v 4.1.2 ? I have SuperSu for the Superuser app and see no option to do a temp unroot (if that will even work for the OTA update).
I have managed to stay out of trouble so far, the OTA update downloads and tries to install - then I get the error "Root suspected" during the beginning of the update process. I can just turn off and on and everything is fine. I would like KitKat, but I'm seeing so many threads saying the At&T Optimus G Pro (E980) with the 4.1.2 ROM is exempt from most of the tricks supplied here for this unit. I don't know how I managed to finally root it, I tried 5 methods then went back to the first one I tried that failed before and it worked the second time. I think it was a wrong ADB version running on my laptop.
Any tried and true methods to get KitKat for this beast and still have root? Thanks.

How do I flash the AT&T KK ? Is the official ROM here, or where is it downloaded to the phone so I can copy to SD card or PC?
Just to be sure we are on the same page, you are referring to LG Flashtools, correct?
Please take it easy on this newbie! I don't know all the acronyms, to me there is nothing quite simple about it!
