Does anyone have a update.zip that will flash it back to the original rom (1.0.0 or 1.0.1)?
Don't think such a thing exists just yet. Have a look at clockwork recovery thread in development section. See if my post helps..?

Why??? Are you sure you need it? Please tell us what happened.
wiped /data I think. A lot of people on the CWM thread are talking about. Looks like I have to install Nookie froyo today. I would try someone's restore
Factory.zip is located on mmblk0p3, I believe, but may not play nice with clockwork.

Oh yeah, just remembered I pulled factory.zip last night. really would like to know if it would flash via clockwork...

As far as I know, factory.zip isn't flashable.
Please read clockwork recovery thread, and use (as you mentionned) froyo to access your internal partitions. Although ADB can also be accessed when in CW recovery and by mounting /system (in CW options).

While updating the ROM in my phone I did a CWM wipe without realizing it would wipe the external sdcard as well, which of course is where my Titanium Backup is stored. Does anyone know whether CWM reformats or just deletes the files, and whether there's a prayer of recovering things? I'm familiar with utilities which will look for image files and reconstruct them, but I'm more concerned with my TiBu files.

I think they are toast. You can try to mount your phone to your computer and run a recovery program, but I don't think that works on flash memory, plus none of the good recovery programs are free.
BTW, this should be in the Q&A section.

My thanks and credits to:
Shabbypenguin, Garwynn, inteloper and Talustus from dream team for all the help I've got and for making this possible.
I know we have fully working recoveries already and I made this just to learn the process and for the future if I'm not that lucky any more and don't have amazing devs like Shabbypenguin on the same device.
I still have a lot to learn but this is first step I made in that direction.
Here is my recovery tRec_v0.3.6 that has been used for quite some time on E4GT.
It has been compiled with great help from devs mentioned above with CM10.1 for our phones.
The mount points have been fixed thanks to Dees_Troy from TWRP team.
Now back ups are saved in correct location and can be accessed with apps like stock "My Files".
AGAT_Recovery_tRec_v0.3.6.tar
AGAT_Recovery_tRec_v0.3.6.zip
So far I was able to back up, restore, flash zips etc.
It looks like I'm a good student and it works.
I have tried zip file and it works.
Tar should work fine with ODIN but I didn't test it.
I'm using heimdall to flash recovery.img.
Neat! Post some screenshots if you can.

Screen shots of recovery?
Pictures, whatever... Just curious on how it differs visually from the other recoveries. Or if it has features like TWRP that I can wipe partitions as I want or whatever...

It based on CWM recovery.
Have did some changes and edits long ago to make it work with GS2.
Small updates and edits and we got new OS dropping.
So it's somewhat modified and edited CWM.
Been using your recovery and kernel on wife's E4GT for quite some time. Excited for your stuff here.

Question. My backup failed. My phone is telling me I'm low on storage space. I have under a gig left on the device which I don't understand and 16 on my sd card. . My sd card doesn't appear to be showing up and in my storage settings where it says mount sd card ..I can't. What do I do?

Yes. Sorry for the unclear statement. My device memory says it's low and I don't understand how that can be. Backup failed.. My sd card is fine. Can I back up to my sd card?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA
I havent flashed it yet, but if its based off of CWM there should be an option to "create backup to external memory" right before you execute the backup. But im kinda puzzled on why that would mess with your internal memroy. Are u currently running a TW ROM? or are u on one of the Alpha builds of CM/AOKP?

Look in /data/media/clockworkmod
You will find your backups. You can move them to the sdcard or delete them and start fresh.

You device shows 0.92 GB free space
and back up of this phone is about 3.5-3.6 GB.
So you have 1/3rd of needed space for back up.

According to you first screen shot, externalsd isn't mounting.. So there's an issue right there. I'll flash it over and test.
Also, even if your backup failed, you need to use an explorer and check from root /data/media and see if you have a clockworkmod folder with a partial backup. Just delete it since you know it failed. (partials will still be written on a fail)
@agat - I ran a few lines for @shabbypenguin earlier and you may want to get with him on the mount points.
ls -l /storage/emulated/legacy - gives - /mnt/shell/emulated/0, which isn't read properly. So users won't see the files under /data/media without an explorer. Seems to be common with CWM and the S4. It thinks the sdcard is /storage/emulated/legacy.
Shabby can explain it a lot better than I can.
:edit: Just saw your reply Agat. I know Garwynn's recovery is resolved and if you've been working with him and Shabby, I'm sure yours is as well. Only open issue I'm aware of is exfat.
Thanks guys. Backup on sd card complete. Just can't figure out how I used up all my device storage space.

Just used stock "My Files" app and was able to navigate to both internal and external /clockworkmod/backup folders.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean it's read properly an I need explorer.
I can see and access both folders on my PC and with "My Files" app on phone.
Installed an AOSP Rom. Now the system has the /0 directory and for the intents and purposes of running roms that are sense based and aosp based, the file system is fragmented, so to speak. I would like to wipe out the entire sd card and start over. What do you think is the best way to go about this??

Search. Search. Search.
It's been covered before, and you don't need to format your internal memory (especially because you're more than liable to screw something up if you're not confident in what you're doing).
The /0 directory can be safely deleted if you follow instructions.

This zip only worked for me the first time I flashed back from 4.2. Subsequent downgrades have resulted in me not being to move any file from the readable sd partition. Anyone know how to fix this? Tia
Edit. I ended up wiping my sd partition, sideloading a rom, wiping everytging except sd on the phone and then flashed the sideload.zip to fix the problem. I'm thinking some type of symlink got broken somewhere in the flashing process making the /data/media folder and the actual sd partition unable to communicate with each other. Hope what I've gone through can be helpful to others. I definitely learned during this process lol.

Hi all,
I noticed that my internal sd card has two 0 folders, they are like so
Sdcard/0/0/
Everything from internet saves on the first /0/Download for ex., i am now on arhd 51, but previously on archidroid everything saved inside /0/0/Download, is there any way to fix this, or repartition or something without need to wipe all the data in sd? Because everything is messed up and i don't know any more wich uses what folder and so on.
Thx in front.

can you post some screenshots of the two folders and their content, perhaps i can tell you what to do?
Edit: you can also copy all the files in one of the 0 folders to the other 0 folder and delete the empty one, i asked for screenshots just to make sure if there is any important file in one of those folders that maybe will cause problems with functioning of other apps or system settings if you replace it.
Here is the /0/0/ and i cannot delete archidroid folder or clockworkmod folder (write protected), also if i copy pictures from 0/0/DCIM/Camera to 0/DCIM/Camera, they are not shown, even after reboot when mediascanner is running, when i transfer them back they are imediately shown.
Edit: i can delete archidroid and clockworkmod folder, but via phone, not via pc, but the probem with transfering pictures to now used DCIM still persists.

oke bro, here is what you should do everything personal and important to you like pics./music/documents copy to your external sd card or to your pc if possible both should be safe. format your internal sd card of the phone in recovery mode after everything is restored back put your files back into proper folders and all should be fine again. you are rooted and have custom recovery installed right?

Yes of course i'm rooted with twrp, i tought there was some other way than getting in all that copy paste, but i'll do that and then it must, just must work.
I think i messed something up in archidroid installation when it asked for EXT4 repartitioning or something like that.

yes that must be it, as i had read somewhere on these threads a similar problem like yours its better to avoid changing or setting options from which you dont understand what they do like EXT4 or F2FS partitions unless you know what you are doing. at least thats what i do to avoid any problems with my device

Yes, i know now for future, but, one more question..
It's 'calculating time for copy...' now, i see it'll take ages to 'calculate', so, is there any option to just mount the internal sd card, i remember i could mount it via CWM on my old S2 and everything went quick, but i cannot mount just SD anymore, only as a 'Media device', it seems quite slower..
Do you know an option to do that?
Edit: Disabled indexing, it's flying now

I do recommend using philz touch CWM advanced edition or just the CWM touch version as a recovery choice (especially philz) rather than Twrp, but its all up to you..
I was on philz quite a while, now testing twrp, i did the wipe, everything's perfect now, but i accidentaly deleted my pics coz' they were in the 0/0/ and i deleted the second 0 thinking i don't need it
I got a little shock but i'll recover

I downloaded todays version, rebooted into recovery to install. Now my phone is telling me there is no SD card to mount. Okay, whatever, I go to reboot my phone and now I have an encryption password to access the files on there. I have never set one. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Still no dice. It just keeps telling me it count mount the SD card... Should I try flashing TWRP or another recovery?
So I was able to mount an external SD card and install the update. However, the phone is still encrypted. I never encrypted my phone so I don't even know how to go about getting around this. Does anyone have any ideas?
This phone was working just fine on the Nightlies until this...

Found a fix. Apparently this is a somewhat common problem.
I went to Mounts and Storage on Clockworkmod, then format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). From there I installed the latest Nightlies and Gapps. Lost everything on my phone, but luckily all the important stuff is shared with my cloud services. Thanks for the help man!
