Problem as stated in the subject of the thread. Basically, I was trying out the GE rom by Team Nocturnal, decided to flash back to sense (DK ONE, RLS2), flashed the downgrade zip in recovery, which worked the first time I used it, but since then it won't move my data out of the "0" folder after flashing the zip. I thought I had fixed the problem by wiping my sd partition, wiping my entire phone, sideloading a rom and restoring sd contents but when I tried creating a backup in Twrp today (v2.5.0), for some reason a 0 folder was created again and the backup was saved there, and only the backup. When I rebooted to system and then back to recovery my phone once again was only reading the newly created 0 folder. I fixed it by deleting the 0 folder at /data/media/0 but I don't want the folder to be created in the first place. I think the only thing I haven't tried is to RUU, which I have never done before. What can I do to try to fix this? Would reflashing my recovery fix it? Anyone who can help please chime in. I've been up and down these threads and haven't found anyone else with this problem. Tia.

I think a full ruu is the only way to go. I have spent hours on it and I just live with it. Everything is there so i just gave up.
Back up any valuable files from your SD to your computer, flash a sense ROM, after installation wipe the internal SD in the recovery, reboot system, put files plus backups from computer back on the SD card. TWRP restore if desired.
But in your case I'd say you need to RUU also.
Thanks guys.

helllo i have a samsung galaxy s. i downloaded CWM and used it before and it ran fine did a backup. then i decided to do a full factory reset of the phone including formatting the SD card. the phone is still rooted.
anyway with a clean phone i reinstalled CWM premium and try and backup my rom to get a clean backup done as i want to be able to go back to the original rom supplied by my carrier (optus) once i have played with froyo.
now the issue is the phone reboots and then the following errors happen
--Install from package--
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Cant open /cache/update/zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
does anyone know what to do, i have tried to do all the things as requested by CWM when i reboot, ie recovery mode is broken.
have enabled erase recovery = cant find this option
clearing the download cache =done no change
i reinstalled the program and have hard reset it again too.
Hi
if i understood correctly you formatted the internal memory of your phone. Well if thats the case, then unfortunately you deleted the ROM backup that you made on the internal memory (unless before formatting you copied the folder /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ (the rom back up folder) to your Computer) and also you deleted the clockwork recovery file. So now you need to install CWM from the scratch. and get yourself a stock (optus) rom backed up by someone the same method. i remember i have seen it somewhere here in the forum just search for it.
good luck
sorry what i mean is that i reset my phone to the factory default to get a backup of the stock optus firmware. and am having issues doing this backup. as it wont boot into recovery properly.
ok fixed it... not sure why as this does not make sense. but i went back to the internal sd card memory backup i had done and copied the recovery-update.zip and download folders back to the phone... went into CWM and then tried to do another backup and it works... maybe a bug during re-installation???
Well, glad to hear your problem is solved.
cheers
So I had my phone working and decided to try a kernel found here.
I went on, flashed the kernel through cwm, and nothing worked (stuck at loading screen with continous reboots).
So I flashed my recovery image, rebooting stopped by stuck it was at the loading screen anyhow.
So, since I could not come out of it, I downloaded a stock rom (I was running stock by the way), flashed it (with smartflash), rooted it (superoneclick), installed cwm (now v5) and I'm back on.
So I flashed the recovery, and most of the data is back but I lost all the apps on the SD card.
The SD card is the same from which I flashed the recovery image through CWM, and all my music is still there.
So might it be possible that the apps are still there too?
What can I do?
Why all the SD apps disappeared?
Edit: ok maybe we're talking about internal SD card... may it be the CWM v5 doing recovery from a v4 zip?
had this problem very, very, often...
nobody really could help me, but i know, its because of problems with the android_secure folder.
so i´m not an expert and i really don´t know what s the reason, but i tried some things and sometimes it helped...
it can appear if something goes wrong when you install an app or move an app from phone to sdcard, or when you want to restore them with titanium or cwm.
the possibiltythat it happens increases when you do both at the same time or, move many apps at the same time p.e. with gemini or install many apps at the same time (p.e. with panda pc suite).
or if something goes wrong with a market update.
mostly, it starts that you can´t install apps anymore. after reboot all apps on sd are away.
with luck you can repair it and get the apps back.
-delete the market cache.
-delete file smdl2tmp1.asec in android_secure folder on sd card or in mnt/... secure.. damn forgot the path of the second folder where this file can be. gotta google for it.
-or create a new android_secure-folder. unmount sdcard. rename android_secure folder to something different, so that there´s no more an android_secure folder. put sdcard back in the phone, reboot the phone. there will be a new empty android_secure folder. shut phone down, put sdcard into pc again, copy all files from renamed folder to the new android_sd folder, put card back into the phone, restart it and wait. with luck, your apps are back again.
don´t now, maybe it helps when you delete dalvik cache and cache before restart. sometimes it worked, sometimes not.
in your case, your apps are away after restore and not because of install/move2sd issues... so in this case its important to completely delete android_secure folder before restore. make a fullwipe. and after fullwipe i would restart phone once, so that a new clean android_secure folder could be created. hope something helps.
edit:
i did a little trick, that my external sd is mounted as sdcard in my phone. so normally the internal sd card is the "sdcard" in the phone. so, cos you can´t put your internal sd into the pc, you gotta mount it with usb connection.
Thanks but I'm afraid in this case the content really got deleted after I reflashed the rom...
IS there a way to really save everything via cwm?
Or should I use another software?
Also if flashing baseband: what will get deleted?
Flashing baseband will wipe /data

And how does /data relate to my problem?
Is /data backed up by cwm or not?
What is not backupped by cwm and how to backup it?

but you can restore it with nandroid, right? it's going to be just as before?

If you mean baseband then the answer is no. It restores your ROM and all the apps including their data.

Assuming you remembered to back it up yeah.
My radio flash procedure is:
NANDroid backup
Smartflash radio
NANDroid restore
Push new RIL
Use phone

I don't think so.
Kdz tool and official updater didn't wipe data. (Aren't you ?)
They did change only baseband and systems.
But you have to nandroid backup to avoid bricked.
You may not think so, but it does.

Definitely wipe /data
Both Rusty! And myself always test new basebands and it definitely wipe /data.
Edit: sorry I'm referring to smartflash.

I think you would be correct.
It's only my opinion.
i use kdz tool, no user data will lost, only system(happened on me 2 times). don't use smartflash it will wipe all data

dont know about kdz, official updater didn't touch my /data at all. i mean, my apps were just as before, the settings...
just use titanium backup and make sure the save location is in the sd card
For certain apps that have their own way of saving data, it might not always work.
I just can't find the correct answer in the posts I've read so far.
If I flash a kernel that doesn't work, and then I restore a CWM backup, why it wouldn't boot again?
If I reflash the stock rom and then restore a previous CWM backup, why something won't be there?
What exactly should I do in CMW to obatin a complete backup?
Or should I use something else?
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
I wandered around the forum looking for a thread on nandroid backups but there is none regarding problems restoring them.
Here is my story:
I've made a lot of nandroid backups and I always copy them to my pc just in case. But if a wipe everything and then copy back from my sd card into the backups folder of TWRP i'm unable to restore them. TWRP does not even recognize them as backups it does not matter if they are in my sd card or internal storage, I tried to put them back in the same folder and nothing happens . I checked at least twice that the file is there but TWRP simply won't recognize them. Even If I flash a rom from scratch, then copy the file into the folder again and check in recovery for the backup it is still unable to recognize the file.
If I wipe everything but internal storage I can restore them with no problems. But if I copy them i can't. Any solution?. :cyclops:
Did you change the name of the backup?
If I change just one letter of the nandroid it doesn't work anymore.

I didn't changed it. I wil try to copy 2 folders back and check if it works. Thanks.
Did you use another version of TWRP to backup than the one you try to restore with? Sometimes this causes trouble too.So if you made the backup with TWRP 2.8.6.0 you should restore it with the same version. If you´ve changed in between flash the one you made the backup with.

I've been using 2.8.6.0 for a long time, I though that maybe I just needed to upgrade but that's the last version available. I tried numerous times but In just can't. I want to restore the original rom but It seems impossible now. :c
Anyways, thanks for the reply.
I flashed the lineageOS 17 roms that is available and it worked but then i realized that gapps was not complete so i went into TWRP to restore my old Backup of ColorOS 6.1 (A.08 version), also it had magisk installed, but it then would show the first boot logo then restart and go into the recovery. I then tried formating everything except internal storage and also factory wipe and now my backup is gone and everything else on my phone. I can still boot into recovery and such but now it wont even ask me for the decryption password. File manager in TWRP shows 3 folders in the internal storage (in sdcard 0, obb and TWRP).
Any help? i dont wont to break things even more.
Edit: I just noticed that in the 0 folder in sdcard there is 65 gb of folders and files. Im assuming that are my old files but they are encrypted. Any way to undo that?
I guess you have to install a rom and set everything up from scratch. You lost all your files when you formated data, including backups, etc.
If you want to update or change your recovery, now it's the time - since there's no rom or files to lost.

I didnt format the internal storage only data and i edited the post saying that i think i found all the data but still encrypted. Im guessing TWRP wont automatically decrypt it.
For anyone with a similar problem. I reinstalled LineageOS and it decrypted all the files.
