So I attempted to upgrade my girlfriend's Galaxy Nexus from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 (this is on Verizon. Was using a Xenon HD version from last August and attempted to update to the newest version).
Well, since I'm an idiot, I didn't read up on the file system changes and now I can't figure out how to get everything working properly. I have the sdcard/0 now and haven't been able to move the files over from sdcard/0 to the sdcard.
All I want to do at this point is just restore a nandroid backup and start over from scratch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.... I'm also having driver issues, so if there's any way to do this without using ADB, that would help immensely.
Thanks in advance.
The SDcard/0 is supposed to exist. Take 10 minutes to do the tiniest bit of searching and all your problems will solve themselves.
can you boot into recovery? what do you mean you cant get things working properly

Yeah I can get into recovery but when I try to restore nandroid it says there are no files, and I know there is a backup.
I did a half hour of searching, but thanks for the help. I must not be searching for the right thing....
so can the phone turn on? or can you only boot into recovery

Yeah I can turn it on. Gapps didn't install, though, so I don't have a keyboard and can't install goomanager from the play store to update recovery. I also can't move files in the file manager because it times out very time.
if you still have the old xenon rom .zip file on the phone you could just flash that after wiping/clearing everything. then from there boot into recovery and see if you can see your nandroid backup of the old xenon she was on. not sure if this will help but worth a try. looks like the new xenon rom required a full wipe so something may be messed up that you could fix by flashing an older version

As 063_XOBX said, sdcard/0 is supposed to exist. Considering your comment later in the thread about not being able to find old backups, it sounds like you have an outdated recovery that doesn't understand the new file structure. Update your recovery rather than screwing with Google's intended file structure.

What driver issues? You haven't been overly clear with the actual problems that you're having. You said you had a problem with Gapps. Why not download and flash a Gapps package?

I really hate to start a new thread but I really can't find a reason/solution to this issue. It's just as the title says. I tried flashing the MIUI ROM just as any ROM and got a failed error. Then went to do my nandroid restore and it just hangs on the splash screen (boot screen). Anyway I thought there could be a bad download so I took out the SD and redownloaded synergy on my laptop, then put it back in the phone and nothing but the nandroid should let me restore. I even tried moving the files to the internal SD and nothing. The only thing I can think of is to Odin back to stock? Is it the same method as rooting? I'm sure I can find that out, but I'm just confused why it seems TWRP doesn't want to work. Thanks for any help, it's 4 a.m. here and I'm dog tired.
Are you on the latest TWRP?
If all else fails you could go back to stock and root again.

Can I just reflash recovery from the state I'm in, or do I still need to unroot? I've moved some of my files to the ext SD within recovery but some things won't move and I really don't want to wipe it.

Do you mean reboot recovery? I can't reboot system. Sorry, not trying to split hairs, just trying to be specific.
Odin back to stock seems like the best option.

are you able to flash a different rom, say a stock rom? It's possible you got a corrupted TWRP download.
Since they just released another update 2.4.3, you might want to try and download the zip file, wipe cashe and davick (may want to do it three times). Reboot back into TWRP 2.4.3 and see if it gives you some better luck.
I've had Nandroid backup that didn't work for whatever reason. I didn't test it prior to needing it, and got burned. It just wouldn't show up in the restore menu.
On a side note, what error did you get when you tried flashing MIUI?
Try rebooting recovery when you are in recovery already once before flashing/restoring anything anything.

I tried multiple ROMs, but not a stock one. Hmm, I was on 2.3.2.3. I did'nt get a special error, just said a red message saying failed.

Ok, I was'nt sure. I just went back to stock. I just wanted to know what exactly was going on and why.
The only thing different on my phone is I got a 32 gig SD card. I transfed some of my files a couple days before doing anything of this. That's the only thing I can think of. Even after root/unroot it STILL won't do my nandroid restore. I had so much time and work into the apps I set up, games, ect. Really freakin sucks. I even went into the the TWRP backup folder and made sure the backup files were there before doing anything. I never even got to flash many ROMs, I kinda just stayed on Jellybomb.
I had the uTorrent app installed and I noticed that it changed a lot of files with the "u" in front that the uTorrent app has. Anyone know why that is?

This is what it did to a lot of my files. But not the ones I tried to flash.

So weird phenomenon started happening yesterday. I was on cm10.1 RC5 and hadn't done anything new to my phone but randomly throughout the day it would just go black and not respond to unlock and basically looked like it was in power off mode. Only way to get it back up is to reboot but then it will freeze in 5 mins to an hour and power off again.
I thought it was a rom issue at first so I flashed to cm10.2 the most stable one right now but it happened again. So I tried to restore to stock and after I fianlly got it to stock on android 4.12 and then when I was setting up the phone it happned again.
One thing though, I booted phone into recovery and kept it on for more than 2 hours without any random shutoffs or freezes which leads me to believe its still a software issue. Any help?

How are you wiping the phone? Which recovery are you using? it does sound ROM related, because you say it stays up in recovery. It could be what edfunkycold talked about before, Sudden Death Syndrome

When you say storage are you talking about internal or external? You should not wipe internal storage, some of these files are needed for the Operating System. It's not sudden death syndrome.

Its all internal. I only just put in an external sd card to flash the rom from. I flashed the stock using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099. Don't know if that makes any different then say restoring from another method.

mm shoot I didn't know that. Since its already wiped does that effect anything? I dont think wiping internal created the problem though since it was present before I started flashing to stock.

When you flashed billiard's OTA stock, did you keep stock or you flashed custom recovery, and did you keep root? From my understanding, only stock recovery will erase and rewrite internal storage. I would try it again, and do not flash custom recovery or root access. Let the phone boot up without flashing root or custom recovery. If it boots, and doesn't freeze and die for awhile, then proceed with rerooting and installing custom recovery again.

Are you saying that is causing the phone to randomly die? Or do you mean its another problem?

I flashed custom recovery because I wasn't sure if I would be able to reflash or go into recovery again if the stock rom didnt work. Also I didn't root either.

The only thing I can tell you is to try flashing again, without custom recovery, it should wipe and reformat internal storage for you. I don't think custom recovery allows internal storage to be rewritten. As long as you can get into download mode, you can always use ODIN to reflash stock image, should anything happen and the stock ROM didn't work. If your not familiar with ODIN, you can try mskip's toolbox here.

Try the toolbox I posted above. It will open ODIN and flash the needed files for you. YOU MUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. The thing most people miss when using this toolbox, is make sure your phone's serial number shows up, before trying anything else this toolbox will do.

Incorrect, nothing that the OS uses gets stored on the internal storage, it all goes to system... It is completely safe to wipe your internal storage when moving between ROMs, I and many others do it with every flash

So my sister recently bought a used phone running 4.1.2 and it started rebooting on its own for some reason or another. I am able to get into twrp 2.3.1.1 recovery and do a factory reset but the reboot loop problem still remains. I tried the other options in the wipe menu like wiping the internal storage but it says its unable to mount /data. Even in the Mount Menu i am unable to check the Mount data box.
I've also got the hurricane v4 rom downloaded but i am unable to install it for some reason. Is it because i am unable to mount the /data? Would a Format data work to install the hurricane rom? I've tried to download the 4.3 stock rom but not successful due to such a crappy internet connection. Luckily the hurricane v4 rom that i got from here supported the resume download function.

I also have note 2 with this strange reboot problem.
The OS doesn't matter at all for me (check that also).
If the problem will still remain, then I must say that it's a hardware malfunction.
Mine has it too, and does some random reboots at any time, specially when it has been used for longer time.

Go to mounts and storage and click on format/system, format/cache, format/preload , format/data and format/data and data/media (/sdcard)<--- this will format your internal storage,so back up if you have anything saved on it..NOTE: Do NOT format storage/sdcard1 cause this is your external sd card if you accidentally do format it you will lose all the contents on your sd card.If you still want to format your external sd card by this way make sure you have a card reader handy to be able to transfer the downloaded ROM and other contents on your sd card.
Now go back to main menu and click on advanced menu and wipe dalvik cache ,once again go back to main menu and click on wipe cache partition and go ahead and wipe it.At the very end go back to main menu and click on wipe data/factory reset and choose Clean to install a New ROM.Done.You have successfully performed all the wipes.Now you can go ahead and flash the ROM.

None of the modems worked.

The GCI screen shows up when booting (my cell phone service) . i was pretty sure the efs was checked when i backed it up a few days ago. I think i dun goofed on this one.
EDIT: Looking at the 4.1.2 backed up rom on my computer, there is a efs.ext4.win.md5 and a efs.ext4.win file on there.

So i finally got a premium link download on rapidgator and am downloading this stock rom atm. so its resumable (hooray!).
When done, i use the "PHONE" option in odin right? Im guessing installing the stock rom also re installs the stock recovery? Crossing my fingers (and toes lol) hoping this download finishes. If her phone doesnt work after all this i talked her into letting me buy it. It seems like a really nice phone. If she lets me buy it im thinking to get the Moga controller afterwards and installing some emulators and games, it'll be a nice little portable system.
SOLVED
Finally got the stock 4.3 download and installed and now the phone is working. Thanks everyone who contributed to help.

hi i have a major issue this morning i flashed the dark one viper theme on my m8 i am rooted soff after it installed i hit the reboot button but when it rebooted it hung at boot screen so i hard rebooted and went to recovery which is philz recovery i then wiped cache and dalvic and rebooted but it still got stuck at the boot screen so i reentered recovery it took longer to load than usual and i was greeted with this message at the bottom of the screen
E: could not mount /data to setup /data/media path i tried to restore my nandroid backup but it failed at the data partion i also restored recover settings to default just incase id accidently pressed something i shouldnt have as the touchscreen is quite sensitive but nothing has worked does anybody know how i can fix this issue please i really need my phone any advise on this would be most appreciated thank you
Try to reflash recovery and see if it fixes the mounting problem. If it does restore your nandroid
Edit: or first try to wipe /data, /system, /cache and dalvik and then restore nandroid
thanks
thank you ill give it a try is this a common issue then its had me worried
You're telling that you are rootet. But are you also running the Viper ROM.? Guess you do as you flashed a corresponding theme.
If not the problem could be cause by flashing a Viper theme on a ROM not intended to work with it .

Yeah, sounds like the theme is not compatible. Reflash the ROM.

Try to reflash recovery and see if it fixes the mounting problem. If it does restore your nandroid
Edit: or first try to wipe /data, /system, /cache and dalvik and then restore nandroid

tried wiping data system ect. but its says error mounting data formatting system worked i also tried installing the rom but its says cant mount sd card format cache didnt work either
now when i power down from recovery it says apply root this is getting worse
Are you using twrp? Try to fix permissions. If it doesn't work maybe for some reason you lost root? Try to reflash supersu maybe?
atm im using philz but i was advised to wipe system ,data , and caches and now i have no sofware on the phone and i cant install anything as it cant mount data partion or internal sd card im not sure what to do someone has said to do a full wipe flash via sneakyghosts thread but im kind of lost and i have no idea what i need to do
Philz has fix permissions as well I think. Try it first...or as I suggested try to reflash supersu maybe you lost root
i cant find fix perms anywhere i flashed supersu but im still getting the error thanks but still nothing working
i started to flash viper rom again it failed but it seems to have fixed the su problem but i still cant acess internal sd card or data partition any ides please would be apreciated thanks
Can you try to reflash Philz?
If you have no success can you try and flash TWRP and see if it makes any difference? I'm just trying to eliminate all variables.

thank you im going to have to find them as i sent my phone to a shop to rooted but im sure that wont be too hard

Flash all the things!
i have reflashed philz and it still isnt reading internal sd or my data partition
edit same problem with twrp i tried fixing perms but it failed at data partion
I have your solution ?
Why?
Because I had exact same problem as you have now.
I'm on venom rom. Flashed 2.0.0 rom had not updated firmware however.
After flashing theme Viper dark I got very, very, very long boot time.
After 15 mins or so I hard "button rebooted" device. Resulting in data block being totally corrupted.
As your virtual SD card is a partition on /Data, and data is totally corrupted you won't see or be able to mount your SD card too.
Reflashing recovery, rom or whatever won't help /data stays corrupt.
Now the best part....
I got the tools for you to make your data block fine again, so it again can be mounted and you can see and use the internal sdcard.
You will of course loose anything on the data and virtual sdcard so you must flash a rom after fixing data.
Tools are on my pc, and I'm on my phone right now so I will upload it later and give you link and instructions.
That is if you still have this problem.
