I am unable to flash ANY rom due to the fact i can not add ANY files to the internal storage. i used root explorer and i think it added the files but when i enter the TWRP those files are NOT there ... any advice?
TWRP should see the device as MTP when it boots to recovery, so on your computer you should be able to upload your files from your computer to your phone that way.
I have tried that I used wugs toolkit to push files and that didn't work ... am I missing something? I tried root explorer paid version to add files ... they are there but twrp doesn't see the zip files ... I'm very confused

So with the phone booted normally, you see the files? Are they in a certain folder? Where are you looking when you are in TWRP?

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

Download CWM here http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery/update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215.zip and flash it with TWRP. It will delete TWRP for you and change your default recovery.
Flash fails. Ive updated my twrp and it still fails. Any help appreciated.
Extract the file from the zip. Copy it to /boot folder... you may have to go to boot folder and first change it to RW mode (you need Root Explorer to do this because Ive never had any luck with any free file explorer being able to write to the boot folder) and also delete the uimage.TWRP file in the boot folder to make room. Then open file calleded android.default.recovery and instead of TWRP change it to ClockworkMod

cdzo is right, your boot folder is probably full, give rom Toolbox lite a try. It does work once given root privileges
Dear CWM team,
Since the 4.2.2 vision of Android in New hTC one has changed its internal sdcard folder to be sdcard/0/
Could you please revise the recovery for this?
I can't see the CWM backup folder on PC through MTP connecting because its in /sdcard instead of /sdcard/0/
I'm used to copying the backup files to PC in case my phone crash someday.
Now I can only use OTG method with Root Explorer or ADB command to copy them to my PC, and that's not convenient.
Hope you can take this into account.
Thank you very much.
Don't need OTG, just use a root explorer to copy the backup file to your data folder and then copy it from phone to PC

I knew this method, but it's not convenient, either.
Because I have to copy twice.
Now I found another Recovery "Philz Touch", which is based on CWM recovery, and it can change the default backup folder to be /sdcard/0/.
I flashed the 5.06.1 version, and it works fine.
Or, maybe, change recovery and go to TWRP
TWRP is another good choice
Thanks a lot !!
Hi
I did three backups using CWM, two to internal SD one to external SD. I wanted to copy the backups to my Mac to make some room but I cannot find them.
I updated CWM to "update cwm6037" rebooted the phone, rebooted the Mac. I cannot see the backup on the Android Files Transfer window on my Mac, I cannot see the files on the phone using a variety of file managers including a Root file manager.
On the other hand if I boot the phone in Recovery mode (CMW) I can see the file in the CMW menu, I can restore it then or delete it.
I have a HTCOne 32gigs phone with the latest (3 days ago) of CM
I really look everywhere , did some search with wild cards. I have enabled "invisible on the Mac.
Any idea why.

CWM stores backup outside of sdcard. Something like /data/clockworkmod.. Browse to it using ADB Or file explorer
sent from my mobile device
The folder is /data/media/clockworkmod. If I recall, you can pull it from a computer with ADB by running:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/ "<destination folder name>"
When I connect my Note 4 to my PC via USB I can browse the folder structure but I can't drag and drop or copy/paste any files. What gives?
Also, I've tried in recovery mode to no avail. In fact, when I'm not in recovery mode I can't even see the files in the TWRP backup folders. In recovery mode I can see the files but I still can't copy them.
You should try using a file manager in recovery like this to move the files to your SD card.
