MAKE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP OF INTERNAL STORAGE BEFORE YOU TRY THIS. IT WORKED FOR ME, BUT YOUR RESULTS MAY VARY!

I did not make this file, it was made for the Note 2, unfortunately I can't find the original thread for it. I had assumed it would not work for us, because the Note 2 had an actual SD card slot, and our phone does not. Anyway, I just tried it and sure enough, it does work perfectly.

If you decide you want to flash back to a 4.1.2 Sense rom from a 4.2.2 AOSP rom go ahead and wipe your phone like you normally would, flash the rom of your choosing, and then flash this file before you reboot. Only thing you'll have left after you reboot the phone, is the "0" folder. But it's empty since it moved all your files back to where they should be. Make sure you delete that "0" folder after the reboot. When I rebooted to TWRP after setting up, it appeared I had nothing on internal storage because it was still reading the "0" folder.

I'm very happy that this file actually works so now I can play with all the roms I want without the headache.

Me or the original creator of this file are not responsible for what you chose to do with your phone! That said it worked for me, and it SHOULD work for you.

Thanks OP, worked perfectly for me as well.

For anyone who didn’t know about this problem before flashing a 4.2.2 ROM (like me!), and doesn’t have a back-up of their internal SD, I found one way to retrieve it. Although there was nothing too terribly important on it, I experimented with ADB while in recovery and found that I could pull a copy of the entire internal SD with one command. For anyone else who finds themselves in this position and wants to try it, the command I used is:

adb pull /sdcard/ c:\sdcard\

This is probably dirt simple for most folks here, but I had to try a few times before figuring out how to do it without it simply dumping ALL the files right into my tools folder! That will work, but it can be a mess to sort out. The command above will create a folder in the root directory of your PC named sdcard and very neatly plop all the files in the correct place. You can change the destination to suit your needs, of course, but the above worked for me.

Flashed this coming from vanilla root box to tranquil rom, tried deleting the 0 file and it won't let me. I go to recovery, it's still reading the 0 file but it doesn't have anything in there but the twrp file. Help please. Because it wont even let me put anything in the 0 folder to flash.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mrrogers1:
While in Tranquil, use Total Commander or Root Explorer file explorer to delete the 0 directory. This will break the symlink and TWRP will look at the right directory after that.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ericwgarza1:
I added a few lines to the "updater-script" so that it would delete the "0" folder (as failsafe, in case .sh script didn't delete it) but I need someone to test it. I only added two lines to the actual updater script file so it "should" work. Someone PM me and I'll send you the link.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ericwgarza1:
I just tested and uploaded a corrected version. I flashed it successfully via my recovery (TWRP) and verified that it deletes the "/data/media/0" folder.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] james33440:
I flash this and it works. However when I use twrp again, 0 folder gets created but nothing else go to that folder except the backup files.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Digitalkarma:
I should start doing this before every flash. because last night I tried a 4.2.2 rom that didn't boot up and when I went into recovery TWRP was reading from the /0 directory and I didn't have any backup roms to reflash.... so I got worried that I was going to lose all my sdcard data and RUU restore my phone

so if youre phone ever gets stuck with no rom in your directory to flash and you have a working ADB. just move the rom to your ADB directory and type: adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/ while in TWRP. once its done pushing the file will show up when you go through the install directory and if you're going back to a 4.1.2 rom make sure you push the restore-sd.zip. I think it's time to invest in an USB-OTG flash drive as a security blanket.

wasn't sure if this method was covered before but just in case things f up. :thumbup:

install esfileexplorer and delete the 0 folder in sdcard directory.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] frankk1979:
thanks I needed that!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] dandan2980:
That's not the same as the 0 folder I have always had that too. Sdcard0 is found under storage. The only thing to be concerned about when jumping back and forth is data/media that is where it all starts as long as there is no data/media/0 folder than your all good

---------- Post added at 11:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:10 AM ----------

When your making a backup and the file location reads data/media/twrp/backups/FA34LS901362 your fine. Well that's last part is what mine reads yours could be different.

I am really wanting to flash the latest PACMAN rom from original development, and those nightlies are based off 4.3...will this file structure/sd card 0 problem still be in effect? Has anyone given this a shot? I'm really itching for some AOSP.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] HenBoward:
Fwiw, I was able to successfully restore my backup of D3RP One from the 09/07 nightly of Pac Man without issue. I did not flash the zip.

I do have the sdcard/0 folder, but all seems well.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pmacevad:
After my second time using this zip after downgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 my file no longer goes back and forth from the 0 folder to the data folder. Plus, on the rare occasion I am able to manually move them back the files show in the data folder but not when trying to access the sdpartition where everything else is read. I'd hate to have to partition my sdcard again. What exactly does this zip do and where does the file go that I flash from this zip? I think the file remaining is causing my issues. Everytime I try to move from data/media to root of sd the cut and paste fails. I tried root explorer and es file manager. Anyone, please help!

Edit. Apparently I can no longer move files around on my sdcard anywhere. Please help. Let me know if more info is needed.

Edit. Ss if it helps. This is the error I'm getting when trying to move files.

Edit again... Fixed. Repartitioned sd, sideloaded Rom, wiped phone, flashed sideload.zip, rebooted, deleted 0 folder on sd. Profit.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Beherrschen:
I seem to be down at least 3gb of space after using this twice. It moved files the first time but not the second. I have moved my files back manually and deleted the 0 folder but I am still short on space. I used storage analyzer and it is reporting I have 22gb/25gb used... I believe it used to be out of about 29gb.

Also, tib is telling me there isn't enough room to make a backup of an app even though I still have over 3gb available.

Anyone else see anything like this or have any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sybe:
Do you have to follow this process to downgrade from 4.3 to stock?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pmacevad:
Yes but use the zip on the first page with the fix. For some reason the one in the op caused problems with files on my sd (just my experience). Also, is recommend using the superwipe script in development also. Seemed to clear up any issues is was having that twrp was not wiping.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apicia:
Went to install an updated ROM and went into recovery. Wiped. Then went to install ROM and its not there! Crap. I decided to mount and then transfer a ROM, it will not mount! I am stuck in recovery and have no ROM to flash. No backups since changing recoveries.

How can I mount this N7 while in TWRP recovery???

EDIT: In device manager it shows Google Galaxy Nexus ADB Interface.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
TWRP on the N7 doesn't have a "USB Mass Storage" mode like some other phones (or like with 4EXT on my Desire-Z), so you have mainly two options.

1) adb push (or pull) since adb does work while in recovery.

2) Use USB-OTG cable with a thumbdrive

#2 is the method I use and it's quite handy since I pop on a thumbdrive, which TWRP supports even as exFAT and I can restore from, or backup to the thumbdrive directly.

In your case, you just need to plug it in, and do

adb push rom_name.zip /sdcard

adb push gapps.zip /sdcard

then go and flash em (Second line only needed if you need Google Apps for the rom).

This is why knowledge of stuff like adb and fastboot is pretty much a must.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warcrea:
Hello everyone,

I know this is a common problem with a lot of solutions but I haven't managed to find a single one for the international S3 that doesn't basically say "Have a backup ready."

I accidentally flashed a kernel designed for one of the US variants and lost all my data info. I'd performed a full Nandroid backup beforehand but apparently those don't backup your EFS folder...news to me.

Does anyone know if there is actually a way of restoring your IMEI without a backup, or do I now just have a very expensive and small tablet?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pard0ned:
Don't think so man. Sorry.

Have you double checked your internal and external storage? Sometimes when you flash roms/kernels they automatically back up your efs. I know siyah used to, and I think boeffla does.

Other than that, the only thing I can think of is service centre.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warcrea:
Cheers for the reply, I did find an efs backup from Siyah but it turned out to be from my old S2. Managed to eventually fix my problem by flashing the stock GS3 rom again. No idea why that worked but I'm glad it did! Lesson learned anyway, I'm making a backup right away.

[HTC Desire X] ErenJae:
Can we get a consensus on whether battery life is better or worse, for those who have updated to Jelly Bean?

From my own experience, I'd say it's dramatically worse. After updating and using it for a week, I noticed the battery does drain a bit quicker than usual. And last night, i thought to myself, no big deal, I'll just factory reset, maybe that'd help.

Well, that was a bad move, strangely. After factory resetting and setting up my phone and apps, I noticed I had zapped 25% in just under 2 hours. No heavy WiFi usage either, just zipping around the phone setting preferences and just installing like 5 apps.
[HTC Desire X] oddoneout:
No such thing, battery performance depends on individual usage. I'd suggest using BetterBatteryStats to determine which apps may be causing wakelocks, and Greenify which hibernates apps of your choice to prevent them from running background services.
[HTC Desire X] ErenJae:
I'm not outright saying JB drains battery more than ICS, I'm saying it does for me, under the same usage. What I am wondering if others find JB has increased or decreased or not changed their battery life.
[HTC Desire X] Relativedegree:
In my case, battery life has improved a lot. Using DX the same as before and now it lasts for 2 days where on ICS i was charging it every night.

[HTC Desire X] MoshPuiu:
In my opinion the battery life is preatty much the same. I think this difference may appears due to the apps installed.

For me there is no change in battery life. However, I'm new with my HTC desire x(one month), my usage time last maximum 4.5hrs if I use continuously, browsing, play store, etc. but if I use my phone more less, like picking call, once a day checking play store, I get usage time around 2 hrs. But the battery life in total including idle time, it's 2day. Not sure if its normal. Can anyone give me some tips or help?

Btw, my wifi is always on, but not using continuously. Disabled all auto sync. I want to keep in wifi for viber and whatsapp and my favourite HTC clock and weather widget. Do u think this wil drain my battery in idle mode?
[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
I tried to switch off wifi while going to sleep night. Approx 8hours when wifi off, idle mode, only 1% was discharged from battery. Not bad for idle mode. But usage consumption is horrible. Just going through some app menu and setting, not applying any changes, within 4 minutes it takes 1% of battery power. Is this normal for everyone? I think this is called as poor battery life for desire x. Now if I play a game or chat, message it might be worse. My brightness was set to auto and most of the time I prefer to keep it zero brightness. Because the auto brightness is not going to its minimum level of brightness even in dark night situations.
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
it will but only minimal i got 8 hrs of on screen continous wifi usage so idle mode is no issue since you have already disabled auto sync...

[HTC Desire X] anilnc:
I think your mobile is better than desire x then. Because its not about apps for me. Whenever the screen is on battery drains faster. Sometimes I only attend some calls and SMS, then battery stays 2 days but the usage time is 2 hours. If I use continuously, then I get max 4.5 hours.

I have also disabled quite a lot of apps such as sound hound, Dropbox, gmail, tweeter, 7 digital,etc and left sense, viber, whatsapp, and some other system apps.

I'm unable to remove the weather from the HTC clock, which I think is also using more battery. Any tips on that?

I tried couple of other clocks but didn't like them, some crashes.
[HTC Desire X] djranbhir:
I am on stock sense though I find a lot of bugs in it and sometimes m running apex in background and the weather is almost inseparable from the HTC clock the plain digital clock is too small for me but for me weather has never been an issue

The real battery hog in almost all android phones is auto sync I keep it off as I check my emails most of the time periodically so for me auto sync just to save some taps and to look at the phone people keep auto sync on at the cost of battery life....

Lastly I just take good care of screen brightness and battery charging...... I charge my phone when it just goes off and don't turn it on unless it's completely charged read it some where in xda maintains quality and life of battery

Am most of the time on minimum brightness indoors and while outdoors I put it on half brightness helps a lot for me when playing heavy games for prolong hours
