[Q] All files suddenly disappeared - LG Optimus 2x

Hi,
(Hope it's the right place? Can't ask in the rom-thread, because < 10 posts)
I'm using Paranoid Android 2.6 by TonyP Build 10. This morning suddenly all the app data disappeared. The Apps still work fine, but all data (scores, settings) are gone. The sdcard is okay, pictures and so on are still there.
Does anybody have an idea why this happend and how i can get my data back?

did the installation wiped your whole Internal Storage?
and what recovery did you use to flash the Rom?

um, this did not happen after a update, it happend suddenly after a boot
Recovery: ROM Manager - CWM

Wipe cache(NOT DATA) and dalvikcache and reboot.
Then again after a reboot go back to recovery and fix permissions.
// If that doesnt work try installing the rom again
///// If that doesnt work the data has been erased somehow. Cant tell from here.
Also: Check if the files for games etc are still on the SDcard.

No Android Market or other system apps

So, I was installing a ROM on my phone, and it was having problems, so I tried doing some cleaning up, which involved deleting data and the cache and the sd card. I think I must have somehow deleted the /system folder, because I have no Market and no other system apps (like the 3d camera). Can anyone help me here?
If u can boot into recovery jump over to the return to stock thread and flash the stock rom and u should b good to go

[SOLVED] System Recovery ERROR.

I cannot access my present usb storage memory from 'Install zip from sd' option in System Recovery and the reason according to me for this is I switched off my mobile before storage scan completes and so partial scanned files are visible ONLY in system recovery . I reflashed the XXLQB version (which I am currently using) even did cache and data wipes twice. I also formatted my USB storage also but still I can see the folders and files which were partially scanned. The changes i make to those folders are not reflected in system recovery. I even flashed XXLQ4 firmware but the system recovery showed the same files inspite of an empty USB storage. Luckily the root.zip (by Shaan) had been scanned, so I can root my device after flashing.
Please Help guys !!!

As I remember stock recovery only see external memory. So you can't use internal anyway.

You remember correctly. I tried it a couple of days ago and stock can only see external.
Flash a custom kernel (there is a stock kernel with TWRP recovery on the forum if you don't want a custom kernel).

Ya I was wrong. I didn't knew that and after editing files in my SD card I realized that.:good:
Thread closed per OP request.

SD card and Permissions Error

Morning,
First of all:
s-off and bootloader unlocked
CWM touch 6.0.3.2 (latest)
InsertCoin 2.0.5 - first time installing custom ROM.
I have installed InsertCoin however whenever i click on the stock camera (or any camera downloaded) i get the following message: Unable to save to SD card due to insufficient file permissions. I have even tried to format and re-install the ROM however I still get the same issue. I have no idea how to fix it. If i download an image from google this works correctly and gets place in the download folder. I have tried clearing the data of the camera but this also did not work.
I moved all of my data from /data/media to the folder /data/media/0 as this is what a tutorial said regarding file paths if you move to the new 4.2.2. However for some reason now when i go into /data the folder is empty. All of my data is in the folder storage/emuated/0 (or /sdcard) I have taken 2 backups using CWM yet I have no idea where these are.
Also, when i was initially the recovery, when i first installed the recovery and entered it my computer stated 'usb device not recognised' and no adb commands would work, but as soon as i reboot manually to bootloader it was recognized. Is this normal?
Using the app 'disk usage' it states my storage card has a total size of 26206 MiB.
Clearly I have borked something up along the way.
If somebody could help that would be great, and this is rather annoying and starting to wreck my head haha.
Thanks,
Vizzy
Have you tried fix permissions in the advanced menu in CWM? Give that a go, if it doesn't work back everything up, wipe cache and SD card in CWM and re-install the rom via push or using a OTG
Okay I'll give it a go, when I'm hone tonight . Do I have to format the card into a specific format or is it just literally 'wipe SD card' like it is for cache etc.
Is the USB not recognised issue normal ? I don't fancy wiping everything then finding out I can't adb push.
Adb method: adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
OTG doesn't work in the latest CWM, correct?

Yes, everything!
TWRP support OTG, and is better then CWM
It's clean and simple
From my point of view ..Any mistake occurred at migration with 4.1. on 4.2. symlinks for compatibility with the previous version 4.1 aren't created correctly. Be restored with nandroid backup and try to flash stock 4.2 ROM, and only then custom 4.2.2.
The only back up I have is when I booted into recovery and took a nandroid. The one I took after I installed recovery is lost.

If I understand correct , you don't have 4.1 nandroid backup ,only 4.2 ?
If yes.. save you apps and data to PC and make factory reset with formating SD (under 4.2 ) and then restore your apps and data.
Nandroid backups in 4.2.2 can be found on phone (not SD card) under data/media btw

[Q] How to format the internal sd card correctly

Hi,
I'm using a HTC one, which is rooted, s-on, unlocked. I'm also using maximus hd 13 rom.
I want to completely reset the content on the internal sd card. I already tried to format the card via cwm wipe and during aroma installer using full wipe. But afterwards my sd card is still not clean, all the stuff from before is still there.
How can I get rid of those sd card content?
thanks in advance,
Chris
Well I can tell you from experience that it's a lot easier than I thought it would be. I actually use TWRP and what I do is install the Rom I want...then format the sd card in recovery and reboot. It's that simple..at least for me. Now for cwm I think there's the option for to format sd..not just wipe..but I can't remember the setup off hand...I'm thinking the process would be exactly the same

Hi,
I've installed maximus 13 an hour ago, doing all wipes I found
I also use the factory reset in the android settings.
At the moment I'm looking for format options in cwm and I found the following in "mounts and storage menu":
- format /cache
- format /data
- format /sdcard
- format /system
- format /external_sd
- format /data and /data/media (/sdcard)
should I try these options? If yes, all of them? In which order?
I can't imagine that it could be so difficult to get your sd card clean

format sdcard will wipe your internal storage.

okay, I've done so and it looks good. Do I have to reflash the maximus rom now or is it possible just to reboot the phone and everything will work fine?

Just reboot. U should now have a clean storage.
The others (system and data) would wipe your Rom and user apps.

[Q] Installed CM10.2, but stock still taking up several GB of space on EMMC

So I just recently installed cm10.2 onto my nook hd+, During the process while booted into CWM I selected the wipe data/factory reset, then installed cm10.2 onto EMMC. Problem is when I load cm10.2 it shows that 7gb of data is being used on a brand new load without any apps or videos. I've ran the storage management from a file manager and it only shows maybe 100mb being used. This tells me somewhere the stock OS with any apps/videos I had is still on the EMMC. Is there any way to delete this?

Did you have media files on stock? If so, doing a factory reset does not wipe the media files. You must go to CWM "mounts and storage" and format "data and datamedia" to get it completely wiped.

Can this be done now that cm10.2 is installed with apps, without deleting cm10.2 and its apps? Or do I have to delete EVERYTHING and then re-install cm10.2

Never mind, I followed your instructions because I didn't have much to loose. For anyone with the same problem, I did have media on my stock os when I did a factory reset and that is why the new install didn't show all my storage available. Using the format data in CWM erased all of the left over media, it also erased all the apps and data I placed on my CM10.2 os. Still I only started loading apps so it won't take long to reinstall them.
You said you formatted 'data'. You need to format 'data and datamedia'.
And if you had done a nandroid backup first you could have saved the /data portion.
