Ok, I can answer part of your question.
In android 4.1.2 the sdcard was located in /data/media but upgrading to android 4.2.2 the sdcard contents were moved to the /data/media/0 folder so from clockwork mod your sdcard contents will now be seen in the 0 folder.
As for rom cleaner I have never used it so perhaps someone else can help with this.

looks like i am in a big problem here.
i tried to use Clockwork to wipe and install a new rom, but after wipe dalvik, cache and data, i cant update the rom.
i tried to use too diferent zips i have in my sd, but i get a error.
trying "applying a zip from sd card" and "choose zip from sd", i can't enter in the "_external sd" folder, it just return to the previous folder (internal sd) and there is only a "update.zip" there wich i don't know what it is. I had the hope it was a update i did with rom manager but this zip doesn't work too.
if i try the roms that are in the clockwokrmod folder, i get "no files found" and i have to folders inside clockworkmod folder.
what i should try?
now when i click in any option stuk with a image of the exclamation and the Android the android dummy ((((
edit: oh, the menu is back, but i still don't know what to do.
Did you try flash another ROM for odin?

i restarded the ox2. I see sd, system and data was unmonted. But even with this mounted don'est work. I am not able to enter in the dir _external sd.
but in the clockwork folder in the internal sd i have 2 backups and they doesn't work too "no files found"
I restarted it now in normal mode and the system is there, just in default mode, asking me to configure, etc.
If i wiped data, cache and everything, where was the files that allowed this rom to "survive"? At least i can use the phone today. I am almost giving up of flash the rom
Please help, why clockwork did not recognize any zip? looks like it was not able to enter any directory
I think you need to select install zip from internal sd. That is the only way I found to install the .zips on my _ExternalSD folder.
BTW, I won't be able to restore the CWM backup because needs to be on an external SD.
I hope it helps.

Sounds like it's a case of switched mounting points, try install from internal sd.

the problem is that it was accessing any folder, even in internal sd. I don't if the app was able to recognize that there was not a valid file inside the folder or was really a error.
i am almost giving up. Thinking in change only baseband, as i believe it is safer than chaging a rom.
i don't understand how/where the device was able to boot with a "new" rom after the reboot. I thought after clear data, cache and factory reset was like formating Windows in pc. And the last command when i was in clockwork was a simple reboot, not recovery, etc.
Did you put the .zip on your external sd card? In that case, you should go to mounts and storage and select mount sdcard. If it is already mounted, unmount and mount it again. It helps in some cases. Works for me at least, I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Hi,
After upgrading to 4.2, i soon realised that the files that were once in sdcard/ are now inaccessible and i can't delete any of them, i have a few roms in there and would like to use that space for other things.
I can see the files when i'm in CWM but not when i'm in the phone.
The path to the SDCard when on 4.2 is sdcard0 and the files are in sdcard, any ideas as to how to get to them to remove them? Cheers.
I think TWRP recovery allows deletion of files from recovery, not too sure, i'll look into it but if anyone else know's of a way could you let me know ?
Cheers.
I am running CWM 6.0.3.2 and made a CWM backup of my Liquidsmooth ROM. When I am in recovery, I can see the backup file I made if I choose the restore option. I can also see the backup file if I choose "Install zip from SD card" and I navigate to the clockworkmod folder. The problem is, I cannot find the folder where it should be in my sdcard on any sort of file manager. I can use root explorer, root browser, etc. and I have granted all of them root access, yet I can't see the SDcard the way I can in recovery mode and I cannot find my backup folder. I do have the clockworkmod folder in my SDcard, but there is nothing in it except for the RECOVERY_VERRSION file. No "backup" folder. My SDcard in recovery contains the folders 0/ ; clockworkmod/ ; legacy/ ; and obb/ none of these are visible in any kind of file browser, including my PC. Any ideas?

When you made the backup, did you choose to backup to an external card? If you just choose backup, the default location is the internal memory.
I backed up to internal memory, and I feel like an idiot now that I found it in /mnt/shell/emulated , it doesn't backup to the SD Card that I see in the file manager....

Did you choose to backup to the external SD card in the CWM options? I save it to my external 16 GB card all the time.
Hi everyone, im having trouble with my download folder. I downloaded cm 10.2 recently and i wanted to try it on my HTC One, so i moved the zipped folder over to the downloads folder on my HTC One via a drag and drop. When i open the downloads folder on the computer it shows only the cm 10.2 file, however when i view downloads through clockwork recovery i see all my older files but not the cm 10.2 folder so i cant flash it.
Any help would be much appreciated?
It's strange, but, however, i will advice you to copy the zip into the root of the sd card and not in another folder..
Try, or change recovery

Sounds like an issue between old (4.1.2) file structure and (4.2.2+) structure.
In 4.1.2 your "sdcard" would point to /data/media/
and in 4.2.2+ it pointing to /data/media/0/
You'll need a root enabled file explorer to be able to view /data/media/

Whats weird is that ES file explorer views the zip file just fine. I can see the ROM through the file explorer but then when i boot into recovery its still all my old files and not cm 10.2. If i re-flash the recovery img could that potentially solve the issue?

Which recovery are you using?
In ES, instead of going to /sdcard, try going back and look at /data/media, and /data/media/0
I'm sure both old and new files are on the "internal storage" just at different locations.
Can you post screenshots of /data/media and /data/media/0

WOW, lots of duplicates!!
Everything in /data/media is now just eating space, it should have been moved to /data/media/0
The only folders of importance in /data/media are
/data/media/0 (your new "internal storage" or "sdcard", whatever you wish to refer to it
/data/media/legacy (probably empty)
/data/media/obb (probably empty)
When you connect your PC, it will default to /data/media/0, whereas CWM will default to /data/media
1- I recommend you start moving everything you need from /data/media to /data/media/0 (pictures, music, etc; the stuff you care about)
2- Delete everything else (other than 0, legacy, obb, clockworkmod) from /data/media (neither your PC nor any 4.2.2+ ROM will look there)
3- create a symlink for CWM, so that you can use the folder both from PC and CWM, refer to this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991657 (works perfectly for me)
Alternatively, you could just copy everything to you PC, including any files you still need from /data/media (but you'll have to do this either using adb or by copying it using ES to /data/media/0, so your PC can see them), and then format the sdcard from recovery.

So if i follow all these steps, i should be once again able to load ROMS from the downloads folder correct? Also thanks for all your help so far, it has been very useful and informative!
Regarding the Moto X Verizon Developer Edition, not having an actual removable SD card, when making a backup, (or Nandroid after I root), is that backup file safe from a wipe? Or do I just save the backup to my PC to put back after? Is it possible to partition the drive to protect an area from wiping, as if it was a removable SD card?
Thanks in advance!
As long as you don't wipe the internal sdcard in recovery you'll be fine. You also can keep a copy of the backup on your pc. For TWRP the backups are stored in a TWRP folder on the internal sd. There's no reason to wipe this partition when going between roms.

So, forgive me if I am stupid here, but when I observe the file structure in Root Explorer, I see in the root directory a folder called "sdcard" and a folder called "storage". The folder called "sdcard" looks like the "sdcard" folder which was on my GNEX (but it was an actual sdcard), and the folder called "storage" has a folder called "sdcard0" and "sdcard1", with the "sdcard0" folder looking like the other "sdcard" folder and the "sdcard1" folder is empty. So, is the "sdcard" folder in the root directory partitioned? if not, how is it protected from wiping?
Again, sorry if this is a stupid question...

SDCARD is not a partition on the Moto X, it is within the /DATA partition.
In TWRP, when wiping /DATA, it will show on the screen "wiping DATA without wiping Internal Storage" (or words to that effect.) If you want to wipe the SDCARD, you would select Internal Storage on the advanced wipe menu. I think the answer to your question is that if you were to just wipe /DATA from a terminal, you could probably lose your SDCARD data; however, the properly written recoveries handle this properly and won't wipe SDCARD unless you specifically ask it to.
