Returning to stock ics from cm10.2 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After trying cm10.2 I decided to go back to ICS, it appears that I now have two lots of directories some in root and others in 0 directory.
Is there a way I can use Odin to reformat and put all back in its place? Di I need a PID file to repartition back to ICS partitions.

No, your SD card is messed up due to the jb 4.2+ file system. If you don't wanna waste time moving them to the correct places, backup what you need to your computer and format your SD card in cwm recovery. If you do not want to format, then move all your files out of the /0 folder to /data/media(which is the SD card partition), i.e. /data/media/0/blabla to /data/media/blabla.

Thannks for your help. I ended up formating all, using Odin to reflash stock, reinstalled root and cwm then used my previus backup.
Thanks for your quick response.

[Q] Reverted to 4.1.2 but still 0/0/0 folder

As title says, I reverted to 4.1.2 stock, but I still have empty 0/0/0 folder in my internal SD and I can't remove it...
Any help, please?
same issue here, that realy sucks
rmdir /sdard/0 -rf also dont work
Format the sd card .

Yup, I ended up doing as JJE suggested and wiping the card. Just make sure you have a backup (of a pre-4.2 ROM of course) to restore, or have an alternative ROM to install on your External SD Card
Connect it to pc in mtp mode...delete the folder u want...it worked for me

installing custom roms

I have been having a weird problem installing roms to my rooted galaxy s3 I9300
i have the phone rooted, i have it backed up with nandroid, and i have clockwork mod recovery on the phone.
when i boot it into recovery mode the phone doesnt see the roms i have on the SD card. from all videos of "how to install" they were left in the zip folder therefore i decided to leave them there.
any ideas anybody?
Are you selecting sdcard then ext sdcard?
Otherwise its looking in phone not external

external sd issue

I have a p769 and was on ICS v10g rooted. I used the JB 20d rooted cwm backup to upgrade. I'm unable to move files from the internal sd card to my external sd card. external sd works fine, can use the files on it and play music from it.. anyone know what is causing this?
Instead of using backup and restore it try flashing full custom rom . It may be a bug or ya have not restored ya backup properly or md5 mismatch .
Lookout into the forum for best ROM and flash that
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
I wouldn't recommend flashing a custom rom, plus it is a long process to unlock the boot loader to do so (for the p769), and you really have to know what your doing to get everything working.
Now deadenz what app are you using to move files? you might just be doing something wrong. I have issues moving stuff when connect to a computer when using mtp. I use the smanager app to move files from internal to external.
Es file explorer

I just tested with root browser from rom toolbox pro and didn't have an issue. Issue is with es file explorer?

Format internal sd card question

I'm currently using twrp with the eclipse rom. If I flash cwm then format my internal sd card, then flash back the rom, will I be gtg? Just wondering if I lose root or recovery by formatting the internal sd card. Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

You will not lose root, but you should NOT format your internal SD card, unless on the stock rom. Formatting the internal SD caused a boot loop for many S4 users on custom roms, including me, and the only solution is to ODIN back to stock. There is really no need to format your internal SD. If you don't have enough memory, just see what is taking up the space and delete it manually. If you want a squeaky clean slate, make sure you know how to ODIN to stock first.
Also know that after you ODIN back to stock you WILL need to root again.
Hope this helped.

Thank you for your reply and yes it had clarified. I'm looking to format to clean up all of the framework/mod/extra installs that I have done between roms. I know to Odin back to stock and all of that. Thanks again!

Flashing from SD to internal drive

Personally, I had trouble booting & running SD cards. I'm convinced it wasn't hardware but my noobness! Since then I've always loaded only to emmc. I also had trouble going directly & straight to CM10 roms from the B&N 1.4whatever OS.
So, looking for a recovery + rom that matched, I used Indirect's app to get cwm 5, then had no trouble loading a CM9 rom (all to emmc). Once CM9 was up & running good, I used Goo Manager to load an updated TWRP recovery suitable for CM10, then Cm10.1, etc. That's what worked for me & to this day I see no need to boot from SD's. Just me tho.

I'm currently running carbon ROM on my nook 8gb via SD card. If I was to download an internal version of a ROM would I be able to reboot to my twrp recovery on my SD card and somehow flash to the internal harddrive from there?

Alright. Once I flash to internal from my SD android I'll be able to just remove the SD card and run straight off the nook itself?

Yep, but once you flashed it will use the sdcard as default storage if you want to use the internal memory as default put this line in your build.prop under /system/build.prop (use root explorer or something like that)
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal 1
Paste it at the end of the file and you are done.

I've got a 16Gb SD card that I was trying to originally use but was having trouble setting up to do so. Could I just pop that in and use it for memory once I flash to internal? And also, if I was to back up my current build which is Carbon ROM, would I be able to restore to it once I flash to internal or would it not work since it was backed up through the SD build?

Once you change your recovery you must immediately make a backup using it. One recovery cannot access backups made by another recovery.
