Use one of the file managers to copy and paste it to the root of your card.
Ok so using astro I find the file hightlight it click the menu hit copy and then what do I do to paste it?
long press on the sdcard folder and a list should come up and you click paste.
with astro you have to hit press menu then edit and the to options that should be available to your are paste and select all.
got it thank you guys ! appriciate you
Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Yeah, I tried to make a smaller one, and it's still there but I can't see it in windows. I tried renaming it as well and that didn't work either.

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.

I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/update.zip

The CWM backup is located in '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' (from root) and is not visible from the pc.
Using ES file explorer or root explorer copy the folder in the '/data/media/clockworkmod/backup/' directory to '/data/media/0/' and then you'll be able to see it from your pc and copy across....... remember to delete the copy from '/data/media/0/' afterwards

Unfortunately, i do not have such directory path like you specified.
I installed Clockwork Rom Manager and it tells me the backup is in inaccesible area, path: Device: mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup
But the mnt/shell folder is empty and I cant find clockword folder. Any solution to this ?

When navigating to root with a file explorer are you unable to see the directories I listed?

Using your path, I can only go for: Device: /data/ and it is empty

No it can't be empty.... check your file explorer is root enabled, if you're using ES then settings>tools>root explorer

Now it works like a charm. Thank you very much for your help!
So i did something stupid on my moto x. I made a TWRP backup a while ago and i wanted to delete it. So using ES file explorer i found this folder which looked like TWRP backup in root. so i deleted it but turns out it was my internal memory which was pointing to this location.
Now every time i open ES file explorer it says '/sdcard/ is not found' and it says 0.0B if i check SD card analyst in ES file explorer.
For reference i deleted '0' folder in 'root/data/media' and new '0' folder is already created but it still doesn't show sdcard in ES.
Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Edit: Never mind got it working after a restart.
I have done a search on the forum and couldn't find an answer. I have a rooted note 8 running Nougat 7.1.1. I have an older version of ES File Explorer (did use the newest version but rolled back because I didn't like it).
How can I access my external sdcard with a file explorer? I originally thought it was because of the newest ES File Explorer but when I rolled back I couldn't find it either. I can do a search for a specific file on the sdcard but I don't see it in a directory. So if I don't know the file name, I can't get to the external card. Any ideas?

Use the stock file manager the phone has ( My Files )
On main screen inside my files you can see internal or external storage options,
Choose external and look for the file, you may have to hit top right 3 dots for menu and turn on show hidden files if its a hidden file
