Hello,
I have a rooted S3 running the newest 4.3 Leak. I upgraded in CWM with no problems, and no restore as I was coming from a stock rooted ROM. However, now I can't find my data from there. I look for it on my computer and I can't. I need to get to it cause I have data in those files I need to delete to add more space to my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Try looking in /storage/sdcard0 or /storage/emulated/legacy

I had the same question but no way to solve either. The legacy and sdcard0 folder are the same. However I can see more folders in recovery than using file explorer or root explorer. Weird.
Check /data/media

That worked!!
Put everything in /data/media/0 and you should be able to see it all. Till your next flash anyway...

How are you trying to get to it? Rooted? What file browser?

That makes me think your Root explorer isn't getting Root permissions or hasn't remounted as RW.

Shoulda 're-read your op before, sorry bout that. You won't be able to see your files by plugging into the computer. It'll always be showing you what's in /sdcard/0
You need to get a root file browser, on your phone, and use it to move everything in /data/media to /data/media/0

Hi I flashed CM 10.1 with twrp, but was created the "0" folder in my sd card. Somebody know how can I fix this problem?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Googling helps when trying to find answers...
There are a lot of guides on how to "fix" this. If done CORRECTLY you will have only one 0 folder. You also need to update your recovery to the latest version.

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.
use TWRP recovery

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
].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

Performing a factory reset formats everything but the /data/media/ directory, which contains your internal storage.

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 either delete them from a file explorer from storage/extSdCard or just pop your SD card into a micro SD adapter if you have one and delete files from your computer

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.

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?
Ummm...no suggestions?

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.
Thanks fellas. I will look into this a little further

Hey, guys. I'm looking for some help here. I've been having some trouble with a few recent ROMs. I try to do a full wipe and do a fresh install of the new ROM, but I get an error saying something about being unable to read the lost + found file. I think it was deleted somehow because I can't find it. Does anyone know how to get it back? Can I possibly just reinstall a recovery or something? I don't actually know where the file even comes from to begin with.
Bump. Really needing some help.
Have you tried restoring a nandroid back up?? (If any)
At least you can start your search for a solution with a working phone.

I don't have a recent Nandroid backup at the moment. My last one would take me straight from AOSP 4.3.1 all the way back down to TW 4.1.2 and I just don't like that idea. It's caused me complications before.
File explorer?

Did you factory reset with stock recovery before going to 4.3? That would have wiped out your sd card.

Nope, did not factory reset. Heres the weird part. When I jump back and forth from 4.3 to 4.1.2 the file shows up when I'm on 4.1.2. Are the files searchable? I tried searching for them and they don't even show up when I'm on 4.3.
