I finally flashed a non stock based rom. Before i flashed I made a backup but the 2 backups I had do not show up in recovery. When I use the file explorer they are in clockwork/backup. I backuped the me room and that one shows in recovery but not in file explorer
Seem to remember but cannot find info about a 0 file that is created when going to non stock roms which I see in file explorer but I still cannot find the new backup that way.

Look in sdcard0 data/media for the one you can't find with file explorer, if it is there you can copy the others to that folder so they will be seen in recovery.

First off, don't rename a cmw backup... trust me, if you rename the zip it will cause an md5 mismatch when you try and restore and that always tends to happen when ya need it most.
Second the file you are looking for is either on your SD or your internal storage, the file si called clockworkmod or something like that, inside you will see a file labled backup. Delete as you will, but I always tend to transfer said files onto my pc and title an individual folder for each file, there for eliminated the irritation of md5 mismatch.

That's what I'm sayin . There is no clockwork mod folder. I do have it installed though. Thanks for the info. I didn't know that would mismatch the md5

You should be able to restore the folder , by booting into recovery , and running a new backup.
This will force place a new backup file to the SD card in the proper location.
If this does not work , or the backup fails to run, you must reflash the recovery using Odin ....g
you are using cwm and not twrp right? if using twrp the backups are in folder named twrp on internal or external which ever one you specified when backing up.
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup
Are you rooted?
Are you on a stock-based rom and not a CM-based rom?
Hello everybody,
I've recently moved from omega ROM to revolt ROM, and I had my files stored on the /sdcard/0 folder, and now, I can't see it in my file manager, but I can still see it in the recovery when I want to install a zip file or something. How can I restore it/make it appear in my file manager?
Use root file manager to search the file, then once found, click properties, and it will give you the file path where it is hiding

Use root explorer /data/media and there's your zero folder
Hope this helps

you're a good damn life saver!!! thank you so much!!
I'm in the process of installing custom firmwares on my phone and I'm at the part where I need to put the modded e3 recovery on my phone. I watched a YouTube video saying I need root explorer to go into the system/bin folder and copy and paste the modded file there along with the original one but the problem is, there is no original recovery file. It's missing and when I put the modded file there it won't boot into the modded recovery. Please help
PS: I found the original recovery file but it was in another spot. Should I move it to system/bin,?

I have exactly the same problem with my AT&T Infuse updated to stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 (rooted with framaroot). I see no recovery file in system/bin folder. In addition, all files in system/bin are greyed out with question marks. I used ES file explorer with root access). If you found a solution, please share.
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...
