Hey guys. I am noticing that I'm unable to delete files from my internal SD using root apps like root explorer. I even tried to hook up tablet to PC and delete file through PC and when I rebooted my prime those files where still there.
I changed Roms from virtuous prime to aokp build #40. I tried to free up some space by deleting un-wanted nand backups and some other downloads that i did not need and. Nothing that i try works. I am using the cwm touch recovery rtr_recovery-clockwork-touch.5.8.1.8.zip. don't remember ever having this issue on twrp recovery, but I did not pay much attention then either.
If anyone has had this problem and could help I am thankfully for it

Sounds like a problem I faced not long ago. I couldn't exactly pinpoint the cause, do you know when the problem started happening?
Anyway, I put together a pretty detailed how-to in another post. I hope it works for you.

I also recommend moving away from CWM and going to TWRP for prime.
One last thing, this doesn't belong in Dev section, but should be in Q and A.
I follow the guide in this thread which is easier and does the job!
I have had sd card issues since day one and now I dont ever use any ext cards becuase of the issues

You're better off waiting. They discovered a bug that causes the device to be bricked if you format the SD card. There's a fix for said brick, but it's still something that shouldn't be out in the wild.
I was looking for the same thing, so since I don't see anyone posting it I guess its a no on sharing cm7 lol

Isn't the bug only an issue if you are planning on using the SD Card version? I don't see what the problem would be with the internal version...oh well.

So far yes but truth is that eather with warnings or not people(noobs) could still do it lol so... to put an example i have read of 2 guys who wiped all the partitions off course they bricked their device (Judge for yourself).
So let devs work, test more and fix bugs, anyway there are some other bugs too and it other features aren't supported yet like Bluetooth, microphone, etc. I personally stay away of alphas but this time i tested support of apps and few other things but nothing major because i know there can be risks.

The bug is on both versions, and occurs if you try to format/erase the SD Card through the CM7 storage menu. So theoretically as long as you don't do that, you're fine, but I understand the hesitance to share a file that could potentially brick someone's device.
I was using the internal version, and experienced the SD format brick.
After recovering, I've continued to use CM7, primarily because when I tried to go back to the 1.4.1 + root image that's floating around here, I couldn't install market apps anymore. Tablet would reboot every single time I've tried. So I went back to CM7, just reminding myself to never, ever, ever erase the SDcard through the mod.
If you are not careful
I have been very cautious and lucky so far. I Rooted my Nook Tab back in late November by following ADB instructions and then applied many different tweaks including build.prop etc. All directions in these forums must be followed explicitly and you MUST have some working knowledge of ADB and a general understanding of how computers work. I have read every post in this forum and spent many hours researching how the devs were trying to circumvent the bootloader using various exploits. I did try to inject the Chainfire 3D wrapper as to be able to play Tegra Games and got caught in a boot loop and had to factory restore. Over all, I have been very careful. I have read in the forum that others have tried to apply CM7 update by trying to flash the cm7.ZIP file. It is very lucky for these people that in Clock Work Mod (CMW) this mode does not format the internal memory, it just writes to the System/app folder or to the folder that is specified inside the zip file. It is easy to get excited around buzz words like CM7 and CM9. But it is important to net let it go to your head and research thouroughly before hack-a-lackin your tablet. I am very grateful that the Devs rethought the CWM flasher and added the hash checksum so that someone with a bad connection didn't flash a partially downloaded file. I have CM7 on my Nook. Luckily, I didnt try to format an SD card with the Nook, I used an external card reader. The most important thing is, the Devs and the End Users are all going down unfamiliar territory. Research is the WORD. Happy Hacking!!!

I believe you need to unzip straight to the SD on your nook.
So when you extract it you do it directly to the cmw folder okay ill try that

Yes, this is common in general with Android updates (and ios jailbreaks too). There is a method in the dev forums to root any version. You should be able to do that without wiping anything out.

You might consider just allowing updates and rerooting via SD each time to get the latest fixes from B&N. Alternatively, you can create a CM7 SD card and use whichever firmware (CM7 or official B&N) whenever you want.

I was trying to install the Primalicious ROM and thought I followed everything exactly like it said... I got up to where it says "install from SD Card." Little did I know that they meant internal memory.... I had the zip on the removable SD Card and not internal memory, so I have nothing to flash! I am able to get to the CWM Recovery Screen but I can't load the removable SD Card etc... If I restart, it gets stuck on the Splash Screen and doesn't do anything... I tried adb but I can't seem to get it to work right (on my Mac and PC). It can't find my tablet. I hope there's a way to fix this, so if you know please lend a helping hand here. I tried reviewing the other thread but just very upset and frustrated here so I apologize if I missed the answer.
The only ****ing device I've bricked! And! The only device I've had where I didn't think it needed to be rooted or a custom rom. I had to root it, unlock it and put a custom recovery on it. What a dumb ass I am. I'll figure this out but a little help would be nice peeps!

When you go to install from SD check both /download paths for the internal zip.
Probably a dumb question but did you make a nandroid?

I checked every path that it lets me check. The problem was that I didnt download directly from my Prime. I had downloaded it onto my computer and then copied the file to the external SD Card, and CWM does not let me get to the external sd card, only internal memory...
And no, not a dumb question but dumb answer, I did not make a nandroid backup because I'm a [email protected] and forgot. I was just following the instructions late last night and didnt even think about the back up.
*EDIT* I was able to get ADB to work, and it recognizes my tablet... Anyone know how I can push the file onto my tablet? I don't know the directory I should put it in.

Put the rom zip file in the same directory as adb, then do this:
adb push [name of rom].zip /mnt/sdcard/
Go back to CWM and you should see the rom on your sdcard. There is a pretty good walk through of adb here:

So in my flashing craziness I forgot to use the sd downgrade when I went from an AOSP rom back to a 4.1.2 rom. Definitely a noob mistake that I will never make again.
Now my internal SD seems extremely cluttered with a 0 folder similar to the main one.
Is there a simple way to clean this up?
FWIW I did flash the new Beans 18 build then flash the downgrade earlier today, however I am currently on a restored backup of Beans 17.
I have considered flashing back to stock and then rooting again to make it all clean, but that won't take care of the unused and duplicate folders in my internal storage...right?!
Yes I am new here so please be kind! I spend a ton of time teaching myself and learning about rooting and customizing, but this is one thing I wanted a definite answer to before I end up deleting a crucial file or folder.

Easiest way would be to use a file explorer and copy/paste anything from /0 you want to keep over to the correct sdcard location. Then you can just delete the /0 folder.
Thanks for taking the time to answer. I was able to delete all but 2 sub folders under 0...the download and jelly beans folder refuse to delete. Not sure what that's about but at least I now have my internal in better shape!

I haven't used ES in a long long long time. If it will allow you full R/W privileges like Root Explorer you should be able to do it but I honestly don't know about ES because I use Root Explorer. Maybe the post about boring into recovery would work.

^ This is the way to go. Just get rid of everything and start over. Although make sure to have the rom on your external sd so after you wipe internal you have the rom to flash. I do it when I get bored and want to clear out old app folders

If I needed to clear the internal, I would remove important files and then do an internal storage wipe on a clean Rom from twrp.
Current device:
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Retired devices:
Huawei Ascend, Droid Charge, Droid Bionic
I used this wipe application called Zoot's wipe script, it has the Aroma wipe installer in it. This has several wiping variations but the big wipe is the Mega Wipe. Make sure you transfer all your important files to your external sd card because this Mega Wipe will wipe your internal memory clean to where you have 10gb free again. (For me on Verizon we only can get the 16gb gnote2, so after Touch Wiz sucks up the memory it needs you only have about 10gb free) Download this zip file and when you flash into recovery, I use TWRP, this can be used on Clock work too. flash this zip file and select Mega to clean out your internal sd. Super Wipe can be used to flash different roms too.

I recently installed 64gig extSdCard. I have downloaded items to it (roms etc) I have checked to see if they a "really there" which they are. Problem is twrp doesn't show them for me to flash when I go into recovery

I just recently went through an issue with my sd card, even buying a new one. Ultimately what fixed it was a simple 'fix permissions' in TWRP. Don't wait until you have to go to CWM for 4.4, though. CWM took the fix permissions option out of their arsenal. Since you've got TWRP, would you try it, please and report back? I am at odds as to if it was what ultimately worked although that's what the evidence says.

Do you have the latest version of twrp?
Sorry, worth a shot.
The only other thing I got is (if you haven't already) format the card in the phone, try a new card, verify the files are correct format.
Other than that, try back to stock, reroot start totally fresh. Clean card and all.
