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.

I am looking at my Galaxy S2 files with the app "WiFi File Transfer" (which is great if anyone doesn't know about it... but that's for another thread). There's sdcard and external_sd and there is mnt/sdcard. What the heck is mnt? I feel like I am going in circles.
Thanks for any clarification.
I believe it stands for mount. Linux term maybe? The technical path of the SD card on your phone is
/mnt/sdcard/
See the top of this screen shot of me looking at the "root" of my internal SD card.

Thanks, quarlow. While moving a file and not knowing what I was doing, somehow I put a file on mnt/sdcard/external_sd. So confusing. I guess all I really need to know right now is that the root of my card is mnt/sdcard and I thank you for that.
I'm pretty sure the sdcard folder you see at root (/) of the phone (/sdcard) is a 'junction point' type of folder to (/mnt/sdcard) the 'root' of the sdcard, at least as far as most computers see.
Similar to the 'Documents and Settings' folder on Windows 7. It doesn't exist except as a direction folder to 'Users' so older programs properly install to the new location for My Documents.
If you want to test it out, put a new file into /mnt/sdcard and then go to /sdcard and see it there.

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.

Since i've already flashed a stock rom cant i just delete all folders relating to cwm and titanium?

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).

Hey guys..I tried to install MIUI rom for samsung galaxy 5 according to this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572918
but the problem is that while i'm in recovery mode my mobile cant find the update.zip file even though it's in the sd card..
What am i doing wrong?
The only reason i'm making a post here is because i cant make one in the development section as i just registered in xda
Thanks in advance..
You have to choose install zip from sd card. Not update.

Only to boot in recovery
Don't choose the update one. It's just Install zip from sd card.

How can you not see it ?? It's right there above backup and restore.
Yeah i realised that i have to install clockworkmod recovery first..(Yeah stupid me!!)
Anyway thanks for answering man, and sorry for troubling you
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!
Hey Guys! Finally as you can see in the screen i successfully compiled cwm, but i not find recovery.img file? Where I can find it?

Solved!! Recovery works, but menu not show
Why the menu is not displayed ?
Are you going to solve the sd card ? It is very important for backups
Thanks for your work
You do not give up
Sorry for my bad English

I think menu is not displayed or by a compiling error or a problem with hardware buttons... I will try to fix.
I cannot know if sd ext work for the reason of menu.
Hopefully you can successfully completed this CWM! Keep up the good work mate!

The sd card problem is in the kernel i think. The mmcblk1 is not mounted by the kernel, so probably also CWM have the same problem like Cyanogen and TWRP recovery. I'm trying to understand how mmcblk partitions are mounted by the kernel and solve the problem.
