Does CWM back up EVERYTHING? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

The internal storage too? Music, pics, vids too?
Or just the phone as such

No just the system partition not the external sd.

Can I access internal SD without booting?

My ROM is corrupt, but i need to access the internal SD so I can remove my TiBu data and pictures, music, etc. Is there ANY way that I can access the internal storage without booting into Android? The CWM does not allow mounting of USB Storage yet.
Your pictures and TiBu shouldn't be effected by wiping your rom.

He wants the memory of the phone which is called internal sd. Then an sd card is an external sd.

You can do wipes and re-flash roms without erasing the internal storage.

Sorry
I stand corrected
But yesterday I did factory reset but my pictures where still there (checking format option too)

Extsd and moving apps to sd

So with stock Rom apps all have to stay on internal sd?

It looks like it, even game data. Atleast thats how it is with the international version and theres no move to sd option in the setting. I dont see why it would be different for US version. The only other option I can think of is when theres root you can use GL to SD so you can move large game data to micro sd and leave the apps in internal. This is a better solution if you have large game data.
Makes it tough to plug and play a preexisting sd card since apps are looking for saved data in the usual sd location.
Like you said, I'm sure once we custom roms things will be different

Can you access your files via USB to your computer?
If you're using an app like root explorer make sure you are in read/write and not read only.
Also, you may need to unmount or remount your sdcard partition.

Ok I would copy all of the data on internal memory over to your PC first and foremost.
Once you've verified it's all copied over and safe, make a nandroid backup and save it to your computer.
Remove all external media, and then do a factory reset by powering up with volume down, skipping over the press up for recovery so it goes to the bootloader and then do the full internal wipe factory reset all the way to the left side of the icons. Then reboot your tablet, your same Rom should be installed and running. Once you reboot go into recovery and in recovery wipe data, cache, dalvic cache, and system and then flash your Rom and reboot. Drop just a few pics or something on your internal sd card as a test and if it works copy it all back over.

Worked perfect! THANK YOU

Wow this worked very well for too! Better than having to try the other method of wiping. Now i can sell this tablet and move on with my life. Had a good time with it but its very unstable for everyday use.
Half the time I lose access to my other sd cards and it comes up with these funky files and have to reformat it.
Oh well but thanks for the advice

Doubletwist SD Card fix?

Anybody been able to get Doubletwist to use the removable SD card? I have a lot of music and a 32 gig card so it would be nice if my favorite player would see my storage media. Thanks in advance.

I don't know what to tell you, dude. Maybe try going to settings, applications, and clear cache for Double Twist and also for Media Storage.

Just installed doubletwist and put in my 32gb sd, found all the music automagically. Only thing I can think of is your card needs to be formatted. Fat32 I believe, not sure because mine worked however it was already formatted.
It's weird because titanium sees it fine. So does root Explorer. I'll try format and re transfer my media.

Ok clearing the cache and data for Doubletwist and media storage worked. Now to test air sync.
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Ok so doubletwist will see the music on the sd card, but the pc client won't sync to the removable sd card this is either through usb or air sync. It sees the phone, and will sync to the internal storage, but i can't tell it to use the removable storage. I'm thinking it has something to do with not being able to mount the SD card as mass storage, which i read somewhere on here is not happening with the LGOG. Any thoughts?
Hello,
I also have issues with my external sd card and double twist (but also with other media files eg photos).
Yesterday I synced 14,11GB of music to my external sd card. I was able to play all of the music for a few hours, then over 10 GB "disappeared" or are not recognized / categorized as music anymore. All I can see via double twist, es file explorer and the phone memory (under settings) are 3,67 GB of music and 12,72 GB of "other". Via es file explorer I can also only see 3,67 GB in the actual double twist music folder on the sd card. When I send my pictures directly to the sd card they also disappear after a while, which is quite annoying... I am not sure if this is the notorious kitkat issue, but is there a solution to fix this that works? I tried nextapp sdfix and changing platform.xml as suggested in various other posts by adding: <group gid="media_rw" />
Unfortunately, none of these "fixes" worked for me. Is there a solution to this yet, besides buying a windows phone or an iphone...
Thanks for your help!

My pictures keep erasing overnight.

Recently i installed Alliance b24 with a 64gig external was working great till I noticed pictures and videos were erasing overnight. I take pictures and videos straight to external. Also transfered all my music there but only half the songs are recognizable even though file explorer shows the file still there. If you know of a fix please help.

Simplest fix, and this is going to be an extreme pain, move all your files on your SD card to your computer, format the card within the rom and move everything back. That usually fixes any SD card issues I have ever had with a tw based rom.

I've had to replace 3 64gig cards messing with roms and TWRP recovery unfortunately.
Issues your having sounds very similar to weird problems I've encountered. But night time wasnt the problem lol
Try deleting a file and reboot is the file still there?
Try creating a file and reboot is the file there?
Do it from a PC using cable?
Do it from microsd adapter?
I've even reformatted using PC and phone to find all my files still there and untouched..
Nothing will fix it.. My only solution was copy data and replace on a new card and snap the old card in half for security reasons.
This was after using TWRP and Alliance/Beans roms I've had these issues with a 64gig sdcard. I'd blame it on TWRP somehow.
Sorry it's not a fix.
I did have twrp. But after ur coment switched to philz. Will try both fixes a nd report back. thanks for your input.
