It's compelling to me because it greatly simplifies the "phone" file system which may never need the more complex multi-user structure. If he's right we can actually convert this completely useless phone overhead back to the older simplified structure which is "supposedly" fully supported in 4.2. The catch of course would be if google decided in the future to enable multi-user for phones in addition to tablets.

IMO this has the potential be the cleanest approach.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah, I agree for phones, definitely. And I doubt Google will enable that if they haven't already; really wouldn't make sense. Only catch in my mind is if flashing back to stock (since the method seems to rely on using a custom ROM) undoes the "trick" and creates a 0 again, or if subsequently flashing an OTA would do so as well. I guess my reservations just boil down to the fact that I'm just not sure whether it's a permanent solution. But hey, no real harm in trying.

I'm not that put out by the /0/ thing since I've always used adb pull to get my backups and sdcard contents. That's because adb pull is faster at moving the files than MTP. I've even heard it's faster when you use adb pull /data/media/ vs. /sdcard/. I was also tending to delete the whole backup folder (I use tars) via adb shell rather than through CWM or a file manager. So given that adb is already how I've been doing things I'll personally be sticking with the new 4.2 stock file system changes. It's great to have options though, so kudos to k786 for figuring that out.

I'd like to add that the right command to flash it is:

Fastboot Flash Recovery cwm-recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.9-maguro.img

You forgot the "cwm-"

best regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
If it's the zips from my posts they have a cwm- at the front since they are recovery flashable zips. So you'd copy them to your sdcard and flash them from within CWM. The images from the ROM Manager site (or which I've also posted before) which you'd use with fastboot do not have this prefix. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peikojose:
Thanks for your answer.

There is problem using this version. I made a backup for testing purposes, it finished and if I click "Restore" it shows perfectly (The location it shows is sdcard/clockworkmod/backups).

I connected my phone to the PC and didn't find that folder, I used ES file explorer and I that "clockworkmod" folder wasn't there! So I did think it was deleted somehow.. Went back to recovery, clicked in restore and the backup was there.

Can someone help me? Is it a hidden folder or something? I like to save my backups in my PC just in case.

Best regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
We've been discussing this for the past 10 pages. Please read back. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peikojose:
Thanks!

i had to read before flashing (that always happens).

Now how can I delete these two backups I did? I read the post, but I didn't understand well...

Do you know if using twrp you can see your backups connecting you phone to the PC as it was with CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Just delete from in CWM. :good:

As far as I know TWRP has the same solution, which is to keep the backups in the root of the sdcard partition (/data/media) and outside of the user specific partitions of 0, etc., but I could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremysherriff:
Nope, you're right: both put the files directly in to /data/media so the same behavior is experienced using either recovery.

I'm saying there are no important differences. 6.0.1.5 is still the latest official. 6.0.1.9 is an unofficial nightly so of course it's not on the site.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wakks:
The main thing is support of the new 4.2 file structure (the infamous /sdcard/ mapping to /data/media/0/... and then the whole /0/0/0 thing with factory resets).

Running 6.0.1.9 after a brief stint with TWRP. Much of a muchness for what I use recovery for... they both support 4.2+ now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I've read that particular problem was actually fixed in 6.0.1.5. Was more done in that in 6.0.1.9?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No. My changelog is accurate. Version bumps for device support and trying to fix some issue with mako (N4) is really all that happened. As long as it's the official 6.0.1.5 for GN that's where the fix for the nesting 0 bug was added.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I read that from your earlier post. Just wanted to clear the air for anyone just jumping in. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob6raham:
Hi

Somehow CWM 6.0.1.5 moved my data into sdcard/0/0/ :(

I was running a 4.2 rom, wiped data/factory reset and flashed a 4.1.2 rom. Possible the rollback caused it?

+ is there an easy way to move it back to sdcard/0/?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
Everyone just use 6.0.1.9. Its WORKS! I've never had a single issue with it at all. It works as it should
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joao7458:
+1

i cant install backup after this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yeah, we might as well just say to use 6.0.1.6+ to make sure they've got the sdcard fix. That way there's no room for the error of flashing some old unofficial 6.0.1.5 nightly that likely doesn't have the fix. :good:

Are you sure it was the official CWM 6.0.1.5? I'd use something newer just to be sure as I stated above.

Best way to move the files back to /sdcard/0/ is adb shell (unfortunately?); I think it's pretty easy, but terminal isn't for everyone.

If it occurs again on a newer version with the same procedure then my guess would be the CWM "factory reset" option might still need fixing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I'm using TWRP. Can I simply flash CWM zip file from TWRP to install CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Should work the same, yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rob6raham:
Edit: sorry, didn't quote, response to .1.5 question above.

ROM manager downloaded it for me before started flashing 4.2 ROMs, so presumably official?

I've moved most of it back with win explorer. A little painful but it was late and don't know Adb syntax without Google. And updated cwm.

If anyone can write it in seconds, would appreciate having it to hand for future. Presumably its something like, [move] sdcard/0/0/* sdcard/0/ ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yup, but the command is mv. Search the thread for adb mv :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kizakiyuria:

can i use cwm 6.0.1.9 on 4.1x rom?:confused:

You certainly can. I'm using 6.0.1.9 on 4.1.2.

Finally some new changes I like the look of in the github.. including the fix for that backup format menu asthetic bug. Just waiting for a new revision number so as not to confuse anybody with another 6.0.1.9. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
yesterday i updated CWM to 6.0.1.9 and flashed aokp 4.2 preview nov 26 version and franco 328 zip and all my files got moved over to SDcard/0

now i cannot restore any back ups and non of my personal files (pictures and custom ringtones) are not showing up in galary, =(

is there anyway to fix this?

or is it ok if i just go ahead and move everything back from sdcard/0 to sdcard?

edit: i am now running back on 4.1.2 with franco 300
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamhawk:
Please tell me how u solved it, i have same problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrdevil_25:
my gallery has magically found all my pictures again and my ringtones.

i did move all the titanium back up files from sdcard 0 to sdcard so i can restore my apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
That's just the MediaStore db fixing itself. To force a rebuild go to Apps > All > Media Storage. Clear data+cache and reboot immediately. Wait a awhile after boot and it should have rebuilt the db.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamhawk:
Will this make my phone find my backups? i am trying to do a restore of a 4.1.2 installation, i really need to get my phone back to working, if i knew it would cause this trouble, i wouldnt try the unofficial :/,

I cant find the backups cause CWM is looking in /sdcard/, not in /sdcard/0/ :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
No. MediaStore has nothing to do with it. And neither does unofficial; official works exactly the same. It's by design. You need to manage your backups from in CWM or use the symlinked workaround method posted back a few pages. When in doubt, read more. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
it's damn easy..use solid explorer and see where ur backups are..CWM need to find the backups in /data/media/clockworkmod/ (which is /sdcard/clockworkmod/)...move the folder there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dreamhawk:
Can i in Titanium Backup, flash apps from my nandroid backup ? if so, i could settle with 4.2 :S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
I haven't tried it yet so I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine they'll be adding support if they haven't already. You should try out and let us know. :) Koush has adding better support for it to ROM Manager planned too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Invicta:
this folder or any folder with the name "clockworkmod" doesnt exist in any location in the sdcard, ???

4.1.2 -> 4.2 Question.

I'm in the same boat as a few others. I backed up on 11/26 on AOKP 4.1.2 (11/20) with CWM, then flashed to rasbeanjelly 11/23 (4.2) and CWM couldn't find my backups anymore. I want to go back to AOKP, but since I can't find the BU files with CWM, I'm stuck.

In short, I've saved my CWM directory after the 11/26 BU on my computer, but don't know where to put in on my phone. Windows Explorer doesn't see the CWM directory on the phone anymore. Where can I put the backups so I can flash an old backup?

I can see the 0\ directory when using Root Explorer, but I can't see them on Windows when I explore the phone's contents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremysherriff:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XQuisite:
I see the /data/media/clockworkmod directory when using Root Explorer, but Windows can only see the data/media/0/ directory... Copy/paste to the CWM folder under media?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremysherriff:
Yes, that is exactly what you need to do. You can cut/paste, the copy in /data/media/0/ is not useful.

Got to wonder if these android file managers can handle moving a really large structure like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patrickbartalesi22:
When i backup using cwm 6.0.1.9 they go to /data/media/clockworkmod/backup but i can't access them on my mac or pc. If i copy them to /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup both my mac and pc cant see them. Where am i supposed to place them so that i can access them from my pc or mac?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeremysherriff:
you should leave them in one place, and use a symlink to access them from the other.

have a search in this thread for posts by me, I posted the adb commands to create the symlink (about a week ago. I think)

so will i get a 0 folder within a 0 folder within a 0 folder for each wipe i do?

I tried the symlink but the files still dont show. also i am using android file transfer on my mac. the only way i have been able to get the files over is if i restore to 4.1.2 but i think there must be an easier way. even copying the files from /data/media/clockworkmod/backup/ to /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup/ the files dont appear. what should i do?

thanks

Dont worry it works now i can now copy over my backups

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
So I can't seem to make sense of what is going on with this new SDcard thing but I think it has to do with my problem...maybe

I'm trying to push my ROM to flash to /sdcard/ and going to "chose zip to install" yeilds no files there (I formatted SDcard with CWM 6.0.1.9) along with the rest of the partitions

edit; pushing file using GNex toolkit v10 worked, but I want to know why just pushing to /sdcard/ didn't work like it normally did, anyone able to explain?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I'll take shot at it. I'm assuming you're on 4.2? If that's the case then the new CWM is now looking for its folder in /data/media and not /sdcard any longer. This has to do with the new 4.2 multiuser code.

If you pushed the files with the kit you can see the CWM folders in /data/media using a root level file manager on your device like es file explorer. But you can't get there with a pc any longer using mtp unless you map a new symbolic drive or use different tools, kit being one if those.

Bottom line, transferring CWM files between your device and your pc is still doable using different methods but google has just made the old way of simply copying with your pc more complicated. The kit apparently is taking care of it correctly.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr-mauro:
Hi, I'm using CWM 6.0.1.9 on Android 4.2! I've just tried to make a backup with more or less 7GB free... The backup was going very slow, so i doubt something was going wrong. It ended with an error, because couldn't backup /data; i imagines so that he filled all the empty space and, reboot in android confirmed me that with several errors of low storage.

I started to look for where the backup were gone but... I deleted the /data/media/clockworkmod/ and the /data/media/0/clockworkmod/ but... Why it was "looping" on the backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shamarshall:
Hoping someone can help

im using the latest CWM Touch Recovery, and with every 4.2 rom flash, it's creating another /0 folder. What can i do to stop this??

FWIW i did a full wipe before putting 4.2 and CWM 6.0.1.9
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
koush changed the default format back to tar in the "mr1-staging" test branch of his github. :)

This and a couple other nice changes haven't made their way over to the main source yet so we can't make Jenkins builds with it, but hopefully soon, and hopefully a new revision number too. :good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emjay911:
thanks for the CWM touch

very useful.. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
This isn't supposed to be an issue in this version of CWM either. Wonder if it has something to do with a full wipe after 4.2? Apparently there is a marker file put down in /data by 4.2 to tell subsequent factory resets not to migrate the files again. I wonder if something happened to that file?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
My thoughts exactly. I'm kinda guessing a format might remove it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darko.baruh:
I was on 4.2.1 stock, made backup from rommanager. Then I installed latest miui (4.1). I didn't like it so I restore my backup and now I am again on 4.2.1 stock. I want to know what happened with files from 4.1 ( because those are in old structure),are they deleted or I have to delete them manually. Because the files are now in 0 folder. I am asking because I tied to find them but I didn't. I don't want extra same files from my apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Did you look in /data/media with a root file manager?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
It's /data/.layout_version - mine contains only the number 2 and a newline. My system is the correct 4.2 default setup so if you're having troubles you could probably just create that file again and be okay.

As for CWM, if our guess is right and it's the factory reset feature that koush forgot to add the fix to, then the best way around it would be to wipe/format each partition separately, or locking and unlocking your bootloader via fastboot. Factory reset from the ROM settings would probably do the job too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Good suggestions. One exception though, play store GNs apparently don't wipe on unlock for some unknown reason. Acquired anywhere else and they wipe as expected.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Aren't you using k786's workaround for keeping the old format?

It's definitely there on mine using AntTek Explorer and just straight up ls -l from the terminal emulator app. I never had the nesting problem or anything so my setup should be perfectly untouched.

No, I am considering using k786s workaround but decided to give it some time to see if any issues would arise with it. With CWM still (apparently) having issues its looking better all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darko.baruh:
Yes and I found thev duplicate files. The duplicates are just there or there are other files somewhere else on the system?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
I would bet just there. I would make sure they are backed up just in case they are sym linked before you delete them. I doubt they are but you don't want to risk losing your files.
