I installed cm10. And it messed up my directories. How can I just start over as if my phone exchange is newly rooted.

By messing up, do you mean a "0" folder that appears in your sd card?

Find the stock file which I think Is in one the development sections and extract the zip file and open Odin and select the extracted .tar.md5 file, then it returns to stock

I did that but nothing shows up on internal sd card when I try to install something. I actually deleted the 0 directory. I odin'd it to stock, but internal sd still looks the same. Is there a way to return it to the way it was before I rooted it????

This happens when people don't read before Modding. This has been a known issue since 4.2.1 came around and there are workarounds posted for this

Basically all the 10.1 tons create an emulated ad card and place all your data from your original sdcard into a 0 folder inside that emulated apace. In order to fix it. You copy all the items inside the 0 folder and move them to the outside which would be the root . if you restore back to stock you would still have the 0 folder . so just move them from 0 to internal sdcard and then delete the folder. If you deleted the folder you are actually deleting you actual files and not copies of them. There are other suggestions and that's where people suggested teaching through the forums.

Just don't delete anything without making sure you have all your files copied. Or even better copy them to your computer.

Can I delete CWM backup blobs?

Is it possible to delete the backup blobs in CWM? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, in the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard there is a folder called blobs, erase it and you will get alot of free memory

You won't be able to restore to the backups that those blobs pertained to.

Ahhh! Wait. Deleting the /blobs folder would be very bad, if you wanted to restore backups! See this post by CWM's developer:

Some of you may be thinking "well, how do I delete a backup?".
First, never delete the blobs directory. This would actually delete all your backups by rendering them unusable.
Simply delete the usual backup directory, and the next time you run a backup, all the unused hash files will be automatically delete (a process known as garbage collection). The recovery will show "Freeing space..." while this is happening.

No. TWRP only works with TWRP and cwm only works with cwm.

No I mean will the backups that I make with twrp still work when I restore them on twrp. Even though I deleted cwm blobs backuo

I don't think the TWRP backups should have anything to do with the blobs folder. (i could be wrong but i don't think i am) And i love your galaxy S3 rom reviews.

Files

Can anyone tell me why when flashing back and fourth from aosp to tw ROMs it always creates folders labeled "0" and moves all my files to that fold and starts fresh
Sent from my SGH I317 using xda app-developers app

Android 4.2 implements a multi user thingy giving the first user /0 the seccond /1 ect

I've never had a /1.........its always 0.......if I keep flashing back and fourth it creates another one inside the original 0 folder
/0/0
/0/0/0
/0/0/0/0
Like this......the more times if flash between tw and aosp the more times it creates another folder named 0
Sent from my SGH I317 using xda app-developers app

Before you flash..wipe internal sd..done.

If you haven't had another person log into your phone and its only been you, you won't get a /1 folder.

I usually just select all and delete then move everything from the "0" folder to where its suppose to be but I was holding to find out why the folder is even created

My phone shows it has a lot of space but says I only have 2 gigs available

When I look at my internal storage I'm am barely using it and it shows that but it says I only have 2 gigs available I do have 2 back ups one being of my current rom and the other being my stock TouchWiz which has no apps or anything done in it just gapps

Depending on your recovery tool it may not have moved everything properly to the 0 folder. You might have duplicated all your user data. Use a file explorer and check the contents of sdcard. I think you should pretty much just have a 0 folder there which has all your stuff in it. I'm back on 4.1.2 now so I'm working from memory. Basically go up a level from your 0 folder and look what's in there.
When I first flashed 4.2.2 I used an old CWM and found I had duplicates of everything. I've since gone to PhilZ and all is well.

Help please

So I'm new to the s3 I successfully rooted and installed cwm. I made a back up of my stock 4.1.2 ROM but when I installed a new ROM my back up went away. On my previous phones in cwm when you wipe data it didn't wipe any backup. Now it did. How can I prevent this from happening and and does anyone please have a 4.1.2 stock t mobile ROM cwm backup!? Would be very much appreciated

What rom did you install? It's probably under /0 folder.

It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.

What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock
Sent from my SCH-R760 using Tapatalk

In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it

Okay I have it some what fixed I found my backups in the ROM manager app. But can't find them through a file manager app. But my back up is in my phone some where but only accessible from ROM manager.

Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped
You can download es file explorer and give root permission
Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup
Try it
