[HOW TO] Help i've lost my files on internal SD - HTC One X+

Alright, so you have "lost" your files when flashing ANY of the 4.2 AOSP based rom's
(CM/PA/AOKP/AOSP/SLIM and so on)?
Don’t panic!
The pictures of your baby and nudes of your girlfriend are still there! here's what you need to do:
*Easy method* (SHOULD be done pre-installing any AOSP based rom)
Reinstall ANY stock rom and boot into it. Once you have booted into it, connect the phone to the pc,
and open the phones internal drive on the pc. You should now see all your pictures and music files
and likes again! 
See, I told you not to worry.
Now, I suggest you backup all the files that you see to your PC incase you actually do lose them
sometime in the future.
What we are going to do now is prepare your phone for the android 4.2 ROMs out here, in order to
do this you create a folder on the sdcard called 0 (yes, the number 0).
Now copy everything you got on your sdcard into that folder! Once that is done you are ready to flash
any of the 4.2 ROMs!
Tadaaa! You’re done! Welcome to the world of android 4.2!
That wasn’t that hard right? Coolcakes.
Now there are other methods you can use:
If you are familiar with ADB then you do not have to move away from the 4.2 AOSP based ROM while
not being able to access your files (see Alternative method).
*Alternative method*
Code:
adb shell
cd data/media/
mv * /0
However, for the people unfamiliar with ADB. Stick to the Easy method.
Hope this helps! Goodluck folks

hm, thanks for the tip - sounded proof but unfortunatelly I had this /0 folder already with all conetnt from outside /data/media/ in it.
But still, all apps kept closing immedaitly stating that there is no memory or sdcard inserted.
I used the TWRP function for formatting everything.
Used advanced Wipe to clear every partition.
Phone was so wiped it said "no OS installed" when i hit the reboot recovery button.
Used ADB sideload to push CM10.1.zip to the phone and flashed the sideload.
boot.
AGAIN no apps working, file manager keeps saying there is no memory.
WTF. sorry for the language, but I'm out of options right now. and do not know what to do next with my Hox+
Setup:
TWRP 2.6.0.0
boot.img (from CM.zip)
Hox+ ADB AIO tool 3.0
cm10.1-20130714
gapps 20130301
Please help, thanks

You have to reformat it most likely if yoi deleted all partitions and basically nuked the entire internal sd even thoe you side loaded cm10 mostlikely with reformated sd you currupted it thats the whole reason android is moving away from external sd so im thinking reformat it and put a clean build and if you have anything on the sd worth saving (assumings its not wiped back it up

thanks, I already thought i had to go in this direction (and wipeing all data is fine, as long as the device itself will come back to life).
Just wondering how to do the formatting as the HOX+ has only internal memory/sdcard (64GB).
Is there another way beside the TWRP function for formatting the sdcard?
ADB tools, e.g.
I have downloaded the ADB tools and fastboot so I do have this adb-tools folder on my desktop.
if ADB would be the solution may someone pls advise step by step how to do so..... I've spent so much time on that HOX+ that I do not want to try&error any more....
thanks.

Did you try a wipe and a reinstall of a sense ROM ?

Wait you need the updated adb files from the 4.2.2 android sdk most likely all your commands are out dated adb changed so basically for 4.2.2 you gotta re learn it

What none of the articles about this 4.2.2 update tell you is that you need to be on a current version of ADB - that is currently 1.0.31 (I was previously on 1.0.29) in order for the RSA key exchange to work. Otherwise you may connect with ADB but cannot interact with the device running Android 4.2.2 - "show devices" comes up with "offline".
Basically, you need to update your SDK to the latest version to gain access to the ADB and Fastboot apps. XDA have a simple set of instructions here -->

I know this may not be the correct thread, but I've only come here after extensive searching and came up with nothing to help me.
I performed a NANDroid Backup using TWRP Recovery.
After the backup completed, when I rebooted all my sdcard data is gone. Using a file manager I can see nothing, however Clockwork Mod ROM manager can see the backup name... I used a custom name containing the name of the ROM I am currently running.
'Internal Storage' when connected to the PC shows empty folders.
Is there anything else possible I can do to try recovering my 'sdcard' files?
Thanks

Edit: Found a path '/mnt/shell/emulated/" which contains my previous directory structure (names etc.) but all the folders are empty. Except for the Titanium Backup I did just prior to the NANDroid backup. As well as the NANDroid backup.
I don't know what happened.
Someone please assist.
Thanks.

Every so often I plug in the HOX+ to the PC and it does an automatic sync.
I thought it was just setup to do contacts. Turns out all my data from on the sd card is all there. Pictures, Video, Documents, etc.
I had no idea.
