Hello everyone
I'm currently using HTC One from T-Mobile
I have unlocked its bootloader via one tool kit and rooted my mobile and turned it S-off
Untill then everything was just fine when I used the stock rooted Rom, but whenever I try to flash another rom ( I tried Revolution HD 12, and viper 1) I faced a problem that I can't access my files. When I try to look up in es explorer I can't find any of my data, thou that the storage is almost full, and when I enter the recovery mood I can find my all backups which dose not appear by computer or by es explorer.
Any solutions for this mates? How can I access my files after flashing a new Rom?

Common issue when moving from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2
Android enabled multi-user support so the symlinks to storage have been altered. It's now at /data/media/0.
I just had to reformat sd and start over.
You can grab your old files from /data/media/legacy with adb.
From a browser search you'll find a lot of threads on xda about this. I'm by no means an expert.

Hello,
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi that's running a Cyanogen nightly from a few months ago. It was chugging along fine but the occasional instability has become a pain so I have downloaded an updated release.
I plugged in the device to my computer and copied the new zip file to the root of the "Internal Storage" that pops up when I connect it to Windows. In the file manager on the device I can clearly see it in root of the sdcard.
When I boot into Clockwork, however, and I go to install the rom from sd, I get a completely different root sd folder that contains some of the old ROM's I've flashed, but not this one. There does not seem to be much overlap between the two folders, and nowhere in clockwork can i find how to access the files I can see in the root of the sd card in my file manager.
Any idea what's going on? I have never run into this problem before and I've been flashing roms almost since the thing came out two years ago.
Thanks

You can adb push the file to /data/media while you are in recovery mode.

Rather than download in the PC and then transfer the file to the tab, you can download and install straight through CMUPDATER which you can locate at Settings-->About-->Update. Set the necessary parameters for searching for the update and refresh. It will search and display all available updates and then you can make your choice.
Cheers.

I recently decided to explore custom ROMs. I installed ARHD for my one but recently decided to try out the GPe ROM. However after I downloaded the ROM and moved it to my phone, it wouldn't appear in CWM recovery. Is there any reason for it? I've copied it multiple times to multiple directories but it won't show up

Try directory '0'

I have the exact same issue? Rooted, twrp installed, the directories show up when I usb to my laptop but created Rom folder is non existent in recovery. Tried downloading Cleanrom straight from the device as well into the "downloads" directory. Downloads shows up in twrp but the Rom isn't there. But browsing "my files" on the device shows that it's there?
Reflash a 4.1.2 rom, copy all your stuff off the device to computer, delete all but rom zip on internal storage flash rom then copy back content
Keep it in the root of you memory. Should show up :thumbup:
Tried putting the .zip file in the root of the internal storage. To no avail. It is invisible. Nothing there at all. What gives?
I also have no such thing as a directory "0"?
Use a different SD?

Sorry..been away from HTC for a while..as in reflash my current ROM?
Did that...went in, wiped EVERYTHING...re-flashed current ROM (just a stock rooted ATT deodex) and its the same thing...the current ROM I'm running shows in TWRP..
But any ROM I've transferred via PC into internal memory, or downloaded straight from the device, is completely non existent...
the "ROMs" folder I created on my PC to the external memory (where I store the ROMs for easy access) is not there either.
Should I search GooManager for an updated TWRP or something?
Update: Wiped again and reinstalled TWRP fresh. Still have exact same issue. everything shows on the phones memory when i connect to PC, but loading up TWRP recovery they are not there. In any directory i select. I'm lost. I want to ROM this thing like crazy but I can't lol!!
OK...fixed it!!!
After a lot of digging it seems when I connect to the PC and look at the storage I DO have a "0" directory (only through the PC though, not in recovery). I opened the "0" folder, moved my ROM to a directory in that via PC, and voila! Now the ROMs show up in wherever I saved them as long as I open the "0" area first through the PC..
Now I just navigate to wherever I saved them (anywhere after double clicking "0" when connected to PC) and the zips are there and present and I can flash. Not exactly sure why this is but it worked for me!
so...in a nutshell...
1. Connect your One to PC.
2. choose "open to view files" (or if youre on a mac like me, android file transfer)
3. find the "0" folder/directory and open it
4. copy the .zip file of your desired ROM there
5. reboot into recovery and it should be there.
6. flash and enjoy!
Keep in mind this is for TWRP based recovery. I am not sure about anyone using CWM that has this problem.

I'm having the same issue. If you find a fix please PM me.
I am having issues with TWRP and partition on the device. I downloaded a new rom, which is in /SDCARD/Download directory. I can see it just fine using Root Explorer.
When I boot recovery, my /SDCARD/Download shows files that didn't exist before. Not only is the newly downloaded rom file (with .zip extension) not there, an OLD rom file is, one that existed before I wiped it and started over from a TWRP backup.
Its almost like there are 2 entire partition living on the device. Oh and one other thing: I just started from scratch again (not a recovery) and already have 8GB of space taken. Its under the "OTHER" tab in Phone Storage.
Is there anyway I can just delete everything and start from scratch? Will installing a stock T Mobile RUU do this? If I go that route, do I need to unlock the bootloader again / root again?
Have you flashed to and from 4.2 roms? You can find the other files in twrp by going up to the root folder and then data/media. You could ruu to get rid of it but it'll pop up again if you flash from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 and back.

Had this happen to me when I tried a 4.3 Rom and went back to stock T-mo Rom. Used a file explorer to find file O(I think) and transferred all my files back to original sdcard folder.

Well I think I found the problem. I was browsing my sd card using root browser looking for a Rom file (trickdroid.zip). I saw it before in the sdcard/download folder when using the file browser in twrp. But now it's not there.
So I start to pry through other folders and I notice a new folder: "0" zero. A folder called 0 with and entire sdcard folder structure within it. I look in the new download folder and there is.my missing file.
I'm curious how this new zero folder came to be. I have a theory, I did reinstall a Rom without wiping and I think that did it. I usually always wipe but specifically didn't this time because I have a twrp backup that I need to save.
I.take it the OS is now using the regular sdcard path? How can I tell twrp to look in that path for the backup (if I move it there)? When you hit restore in twrp I don't think it lets you browse for the backup. It assumes it's in the "default" spot...

I can see the contents of the internal sdcard when using the file browser in TRWP recovery, but after a boot-up the /system/sdcard is not accessible to the Android OS. I noticed the problem after I flashed system.img and boot.img in order to get rid of Apps Ops X.
Is there an easy was to restore access for the operating system and keep the data?

I am also facing the same problem. is there any solution?
I am using Nexus 5 recently rooted and upgraded to lollipop 5.0.
No solutions to this problem? I have it too. Flashed a new recovery and rom, and now I can see all my files in TWRP, but when I boot up, sdcard shows no files, yet in storage I can see that there is space taken, and when I connect to a PC - no files are shown. Any help is appreciated.

Using a Blu life x2 rooted TWRP and using a custom rom called Drax from blox2.
Having a heck of a time getting access to the root system directory. I can browse it just fine via Root Explorer app. I can see all the notification sounds and ringtones that are default. (im ultimately trying to put some new notifications/ringtones directly on the internal storage vs installing something like zedge to manage ringtones (and trying to learn as i go).
Using ADB and fastboot im able to copy files. at least i thought. Booted into TWRP, i can see my device via "adb devices" I try to copy the first time and it fails as it doesnt see the directly (which is odd to me because its clearly there, i can navigated it when booted into android and browsing via Root Explorer. I then see that adb created a directly, i try again and it says it copied. As you can see on the screen shot.
since i cant submit a link yet.... drive.google.com/open?id=0B1halGed5ltCMVY0VzduRk5kTHM
So i think im golden, i go into Android try to change the notification and .. bubkiss. Nothing. I then try to see the file in android via root explorer and its not there.
I think i have a permissions issue as i've tried copying files directly in android using Root Explorer and I get operation failed or permissions complaints.
Any insights on this?
