Hi everyone I made a backup of my rom using clockworkmod however it's not under the ClockworkMod folder where backups are usually stored but I definitely know the backup is there because my phone storage is decreasing does anyone know where else they might be stored?

What rom are you on and did you use Rom Manager. If you are on a 4.2.x, I believe that Rom Manager saves the backup to a protected secure location which is only accessable through the app itself.
If you're on 4.2 and use cwm natively (boot into recovery) I don't think it takes account of the 0 folder.
Use a file manager and browse to /data/media and see if theres a clockworkmod folder there. More detail about that in my signature.
I prefer Philz recovery. I can toggle 0 on or off

Hello to all.
So here I am new to this forum and I am not speaking to the original, I ask you in advance to please forgive me for my bad english.
So here is my problem now time for 2 days.
This provides a backup made in CWM, I always used to make a backup from CWM Recovery, except that recently, I have a big problem to restore the last.
In fact, when I try to restore, everything goes well for restoring boot.img, system.img, ect. except that in the middle of restoring / data, the operation freezes and stops with the message in the last line: "Error while Restoring /data"
So I thought a corrupt backup, which is not the case, I had enough space on my SD card (8Gb around, the backup actually 3Gb and more).
After a wipe cache, wipe data then a factory reset, then flash to a newer firmware (XLFB), still the same problem.
After doing some research, I realized the problem: my data part is larger than 2GB, and that I understand, beyond, the restoration of data fails. ..
So I thought of you, and a way to cut or compress the /data, because I saw somewhere that someone could manage to compress the /data with the option of compression TWPR's Recovery.
Problem: TWPR is not available for the GT-I9300 International version. :crying:
A solution? I thank you in advance.

Why your backup is more than 2gb? Too many apps? Games?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, a lot of games

Temporarily solution:
Backup with titanium. Uninstall them and then backup with cwm. Should get your nandroid backup below 2gb.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
But I can not access in my backup, how can I make a backup and then uninstall the applications they are already packed in the backup?!? One way to do your manipulation without to be in the backup? Because I'm on a new interface, so it's all gone (except for the multimedia data that are stored on the external SD card).

You can try use Titanium to restore apps from nandroid.

Ok, thanks ! But, how can I uninstall the applications which are in the nandroid backup after a backup with Titanium ?

Have you try restoring your nandroid using advance restore menu in recovery?

Trying to modified your nandroid could brick your device during nandroid restoration.
Do this at your own risk:
Copy nandroid to PC, use 7-zip to open data.ext4.tar and looks for
Apps folder. Delete those games apk.
Clear all content in the dalviks folder.
In the data folder, delete those related to your games.
Save and exit
Copy back your nandroid file to your phone.
Your nandroid md5sum will not match. So open terminal emulator and type
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-06-29.18.20.43
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
Now try to restore your nandroid again. Hope no more error.

my nandroid backup is 3.2GB in size. restores fine for me.
The file manager for TWRP isn't reading my files. I moved all my roms to a different folder and deleted the old one they were in. However TWRP isn't recognizing any changes that have been made to any files or folders and it still shows the old folder but it is empty. How do I make it refresh or recognize any of the new files and folders in my phone? I have used the file manager i got when rooting my phone and es file explorer and the both are reading everything correctly. So how do I make TWRP start working correctly as well?
Where did you move the files from and to?

Still on my sd card. Where they were before. I just cant figure out why ny recovery looks just like it did before I moved anything. I can't find any of the roms I have downloaded

Roms are In the downloads, move them to the 0 folder and they will show up.. Use root explorer to move them when booted and flash them from the twrp
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Well yea I had moved them from downloads to a folder where I had been putting all my roms and stuff. But even if I put them back in downloads twrp won't pick them up.
Alright so it isn't like updating anything. By that I mean it is showing stuff I deleted from my phone and isn't showing anything new I install
Edit: just read the 0 folder thing you said. Problem solved! Thanks a lot

Hi,
After downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2, can't see sdcard in recovery, only seeing folder 0 that's in sdcard folder (which I can see in es explorer).
Any solution to that?
Using twrp 2.6.0.0
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
inside your /0 folder you should see the sd content.
that's because of the multi-user support at 4.2

After downgrading, it seems that the 0 folder is obsolete, and not the same as sdcard folder.

Which recovery?
Edit, sorry you said.
Is there not a toggle option in recovery to toggle sdcard location like philz has?

Have you tried at the computer alone or from file explorer/recovery explorer ?

It's the same in both. also, can't delete the 0 folder because of the Android folder inside it (tried to move it).

hmmm
Well I recall I once had this problem in the early days of 4.2 when I just checked an unstable version and reverted to 4.1.
Again, as far as I remember the solution was to update the recovery, but then again, I'm using CWM and you said you're using TWRP.
Since you said your TWRP v is the last one(2.6.0.0) I'd wait for someone else who encountered this issue.

Well, philz did the trick.
Will try to delete the 0 folder somehow... Maybe a superwipe.

Yeah so Philz toggles /sdcard mounting to /data/media/0 and /data/media with the former now the default but the option to toggle to the latter.
CWM is still only using /data/media
My assumption now is TWRP is only using /data/media/0
That is why i fallback-ed to PhilZ Touch version 500.5 (CWM 6.0.3.1 based) for I9300 4.1.2, lest unable to read the old internal SDCard content even after toggling data/media/(0) in the higher version of the recovery.
Hi,
I am currently using TWRP. I have a clockworkmod folder on my device which is rather large. I want to delete this folder and am wondering if this is safe. I don't need the backup file as I have made a new nandroid with TWRP. Do I need to uninstall cmw? (If so, how) Can I safely delete this folder?

You can only have one recovery at the same time so the fact you have twrp means that it replaced cwm. If you now have a backup of your ROM in twrp and have no interest in ever going back to cwm, then you are good to go. Delete the folder if you wish. Its perfectly safe to get rid of the folder at this point

Where are the CWM Recovery backups stored? I think I've looked everywhere but can't find them. They restore ok from the recovery view but can't find them in any file explorer. Most of them I have on internal sdcard but the clockworkmod folder is empty

ckeck in / mnt / shell / emulated / ClockworkMod / backup
The path you're looking for is /data/media/ClockworkMod/backup I believe, haven't seen the other but of course it could also be right.

I'm almost positive that's where I found mine a couple weeks ago, and I'm running 4.4...[EDIT: both paths take you to the same thing, just checked] It shouldn't matter what version, as per below.
An explanation as to why it's not where you think it is.
After 4.1 (correct version?) introduced multi user, internal storage is separated into numbered folders for each user, starting with 0 - the first user (ie usually only user on phones). Since CWM uses the root of the SD card instead of following this new format, most apps cannot find the backup since they access the 0 folder of int storage.

4.1 didnt introduce multi user. It is 4.3. Also. I tried the directory u said. Nth. Its wat the first directory was given is correct.

Both mnt/shell and data folders are empty. This is wierd because I've checked so many paths and still can't find it... Am I doing something wrong?

I'm dumb didn't turn on root explorer. The first directory is correct. Thank you all for help.
