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

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

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

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.

If I flash a aosp rom or non touchwiz will anything get screwed up if I restore a backup or go back to a touchwiz rom?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
You are ok with backup
The only issue after backup is that everything will end up in a folder named 0 inside SD cards. All sorts of critical stuff inside like S Notes, etc..
If you go back to 4.1 after CM10.1, then flash the restore-sdcard-after-downgrade.zip to get everything back in place. The file can be found in the OP below.

I have a question about the process of moving back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2
I was Testing the latest MIUI v5 build bu team noob and I flashed back to stock rooted MC2.
After booting MC2 I went to recovery and flashed the ZIP from the CM10.1 thread to downgrade back to 4.1.2
Now I have duplicate data in sdcard and data/media and I also have a folder 0
Should I just delete the 0 folder and the data/media folder or will that break the files in the sdcard folder?
Thanks in Advance!
I deleted the 0 folder after I transfered everything in it I needed. Hasnt been a problem.

Did you do anything with the data/media folder?
I have 2 of everything right now

Lol I was nevvveerr aware of this. Did this JUST started happening for galaxy note 2? Never flashed aosp since almost every Google phone out there has it and really ain't that appealing as the TW UI. But back in the HTC days I never had to flash a zip in order to boot up back on sense UI. How wieerd what happens if you download an aosp ROM and just wipe everything and flash a TW ROM???

This started when they updated the base to 4.2.2
Since there are no 4.2.2 TW roms for our device it only shows up in aosp based roms

I always odin back when I install aosp roms, that way I know all the partitions are the way they are supposed to be.

2nd post was your answer just look through to make sure ur not deleting anything in one thats not in the other.use to deal with this on my nexus.i just deleted because its an exact copy was on my nexus anyways.
With my previous phones, someone made a flashable zip to restore sdcard back to 4.1.2 from 4.2.2. I guess it gets rid of the 0 folder and restores the file structure. Anything like this floating around? Thanks

I don't think we need one. If you run stock ROMs, delete the 0 folder. If you run CM ROMs, you can delete everything but 0 folder, but some files will still show up again in /root. If you run both ROMs keep all.

Don't they eat up storage if we keep both folder?

It's the logcat that eats storage, which can be deleted. It's in /root for stock. And in /mnt/shell/emulated in CM. I know I'm at least close on CM location.

But if I delete the 0 folder then won't I lose all the pictures videos and twrp backups? And how will twrp work then? It seems to only use the 0 folder. I don't have a twrp folder other than in the 0 folder.

"ONLY" delete the 0 folder if you "ONLY" run stock ROMs. I guess I could have worded that better. My bad.

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.
