I want to return my S2 to vodafone so i can go with a different carrier so after flashing stock firmware i'd like to delete any reference to CWM or titanium backup or anything to do with custom kernels and roms from the SD card. Whats the best way to achieve this?
Thanks
[Edit] I plugged the phone in to my PC and explored it with Windows Explorer. I delete the clockworkmod folder (it was no longer installed). Is it safe to delete these two folders relating to Titanium backup (also not installed)?

You can delete all the contents of /sdcard (internal memory) and then flash a Stock ROM.

You could, but be sure to delete all hidden files also (.folder). Also I think that doing a factory reset from the phone deletes all internal card files (Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset).

I am able to adb push files to the Tab while it is running with USB Debugging turned on, but I have not been able to transfer files to the Tab in either CWM or Download mode. Is this possible (I know how to flash ODIN files, but I just want to transfer files to the SD card).
Any info or leads would be appreciated.

Download mode - no.
CWM - should be possible with an initramfs tweak. Unfortunately I'm far less familiar with how initramfs works on this device compared to others.
Im interested in this as I am currently in a boot loop this can't access the OS. I need to extract a couple of files before I wipe the device clear and start fresh. Anyways to do so using CWM?
I haven't rooted my Tab so haven't tried this myself, but is it possible to mount the device by selecting 'Mounts & Storage' from within CWM?

Not sure why this is happening, but I am trying to delete a backup I made a few weeks ago that is not needed. I cant seem to locate where the backups are on the SD card. I seen you could use ROM Manager to Manage and Restore backups. When tapping on that, ROM Manager says I need to have CWM installed on my device...I have it installed on my device...Whats the deal here? Could someone either tell me how to find the backups I have made in the past, how to make ROM Manager detect my CWM, or both? I am on i717 running ICS 4.0.4 OnlyOne HYFR B4 ROM. Thank You!
Our device is not currently supported by ROM manager. Use a file explorer to delete. Look for a folder named "clockworkmod"->Backup...

Oh ok Thanks...only problem is I have looked for that folder already using Root Explorer and I can't find it! Could you tell me the steps to take to find it on there? Thanks for your help..guess I could just search clockworkmod after my device gets done restoring...
it's right in the main directory of /sdcard
Perhaps look on internal and external?
I no has external so it defaults to internal.

Thank You! I appreciate it! I looked in external...not even thinking about that earlier..and there it was.
Hi,
I found that when uninstalling apps from the internal memory, there's still too much space still in use.
When I uninstall any App, I first clean cache & data to then uninstall it.
How can I clean up all the trash and temp files the app I was using left on my internal memory?
I'm using GT-I9300 with ELLA 4.1.2 stock firmware (rooted)
Thanks,

Open the firmware and search for those files .
Otherwise leave Android to manage itself .

Hi,
I did TWRP recovery backup of my ROM and it told me that the backup file will be stored at data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/.....
However when I boot into Android and could not locate such folder/file in file browser. I just saw a 'TWRP' folder in root folder but nothing is inside the folder. I think the backup file is somewhere since within TWRP recovery it is there ready for restore.
Anyone can tell me why this happen? Thanks a lot.

In TWRP, are you doing the backups to External Storage?
In my experience in TWRP, I haven't seen the backups being done on the Data partition; they are always in either the "sdcard" or "extsdcard."
I use ES File Explorer, and here is the location of my Backup File:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Notice how it's in the /storage/extSdCard/ partition, not in the /data/media/ partition. Maybe that's where you should look... If you're saving it to "internal storage" in TWRP, then you may want to check the /storage/emulated/0/ partition.
Also, notice how the file date is really old (1979). That could be a good search criteria for you to use to find the files if the above is unsuccessful.
I hope you can find it!
When I looked for my Nandroid Backup using Root Explorer I found I had to tap the "0" file over and over before I finally found it. At each level there are all the other files under "Storage". Why would I have so many different levels in the "Storage" directory?
Is it because of all the times I've flashed roms or something? Is it necessary? Is this an Android 4.4.2 thing? It doesn't seem right to me.
I've attached a screeny. Notice how many 0's in the path to this file

Are you wiping the internal storage when you flash roms? This was necessary when moving from 4.1 to 4.3 roms and since that time instructions for flashing suggest wiping everything but the external SD.
There have been a couple times when Recovery has corrupted my SD Card. I've been reluctant to wipe internal storage because if I wiped it and wound up with a bad SD I'd be screwed. Can I remove the card, wipe internal, replace the card and flash a rom from external storage after?
Besides why don't they warn us about the multiple layers of files if we don't wipe internal. Why doesn't the CWM Recovery wipe that stuff on it's own then replace it.

Ok I wiped internal storage and solved the problem. It's still weird though. I never had this happen til I got Kitkat. I like KK though and don't plan to go back to JB. It's all good now. Thanks.
