I have a large video file on my XOOM that I want to move to my computer. It's in the Movies folder which is on the root of my SD card. When I navigate into that folder while connected to my PC via USB, the folder is just empty. If I move the file onto the root of the SD card, it still doesn't show up. I'm thinking that I can just pull it via adb, but it's much more convenient just to drag and drop a file from the folder.
Any ideas on getting things to show up in XOOM folders?
How big is the file? Could you just use dropbox?
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
It's 265 MB. But I just pulled it instead. Still, it's odd that I can't see files on my XOOM even though I'm rooted.
Hi,
Some files from my efs folder were deleted (which resulted in corrupt imei, but thats another story) and I found a program that can restore deleted files from flash storage.
But the problem is that it sees only storage cards. (It sees the phone's storage if I mount it)
Is there a way to somehow mount the root of the device as a storage device? (I have the drivers of the device so I can access its root through adb or "android commander" but not through this program)
Sent from my imei messed up (half bricked)Nexus S using XDA App
Any help here?
I don't think so. Before you can mount the sd card on the computer, you have to unmount it on the phone. So in order to mount root on the computer, you might first have to first unmount root on the phone (not sure about this). I can imagine your phone having a small problem with this.
Could you copy the contents of root to the sd card (maybe in fastboot or recovery), and let the program work on the files there?
Hello, I am using galaxy R and I installed ClockWorkMod recovery v4.0.0.2. Then I took 2 backups one after another, and now I want to delete them, because the USB storage is 3.71 GB/3.75 GB. However, I am unable to find the backup files. I have installed CWM app too but it also does not show any app. I went to similar threads and opened /data/ path from ES file explorer with root access, but 'clockworkmod' directory was absent there. Also, /sdcard/clockworkmod directory does not contain backup directory. I am worried as my storage space is almost filled and I am unable to open gallery and music player...
please help...i rooted my cell today only and have got messed up
Can you connect your phone to your computer? I suggest you connect it via usb and once both drives are displayed in your computer you should be able to find the clockworkmod folder in either of the 2 drives mounted on your computer i.e. Internal SD and external SD
From my CM10.1 powered galaxy R

in the internal memory, clockworkmod folder has only two files, .nomedia and .settings.. nothing else...
external SD does not have clockworkmod folder...
Do what vbz has suggested. U'll find backups inside the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder when connected to the pc. And remember to always do the backup by first manually booting into recovery to avoid this problem.
sdcard = internal sdcard(usb storage)
Thnx!

thnx!
should I flash CWM again and then I'l be able to see them?? what to do...I am confused! There is no backup directory in /sdcard/clockworkmod...

Tell me have u enabled usb debugging?

Yes I have enabled USB debugging...
Sorry, what does swapped mean? I just have flashed ARDATDAT kernel for root access and installed clockworkmod in my cell...
should I reinstall clockworkmod in order to see the backup files? I can't find the backup folder anywhere... I realised I am running low on memory when I was taking backup with titanium backup and it showed an error of low memory and exited...
Ok let me break this down for u. When u connect the phone to the PC in usb mass storage mode, how many drives do u see? Ideally there should be 2 drives. 1 for /sdacrd ie internal sdcard or usb storage and 1 for /sdcard/external_sd ie ur memory card or external sdcard. In windows explorer choose to show hidden files. Now go inside Internal sdcard drive, u'll see the clockworkmod folder there, just delete whatever is there inside it. This should solve ur problem. Also check if the backup is there in the external sd/clockworkmod folder.
Tell me how it goes.
Thnx!

woah! 2.66GB/3.75 GB now! There wasn't backup folder in /sdcard/clockworkmod, still I did 'show hidden files and folders', It dint make any difference, I selected the 2 files inside the folder as you said and deleted them. Their combined size was just around 1KB, still memory got freed!
BUT,
I still can see the 2 backups listed when booted from in the CWM Recovery! Meanwhile, I also uninstalled Asphalt 6 adrenaline...so maybe that is what has freed around 600 MBs...so I think backups are still there...even I got some memory free, would love to find the two backup files and delete them.
I have not swapped the storages, clockworkmod folder is there in my internal storage..
No issues bro. Good that u sorted out the matter. From now on, don't use CWM app for backup. Rather just directly boot into the recovery and choose backup there. This way ur backups will be stored in /sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup.
Hope this helps.
thnx!

How come I am not seeing two drives in Window Explorer? All I see is "Tablet" with no ClockWorkMod folder. Any idea what is going on? Thanks.

Have you enabled Mass Storage mode?
if not then enable it. MTP mode wont show ClockWorkMod folder.
also post picture of what you see, doing so makes it clear to understand problem.

I would post a picture but I haven't earned the privileges yet... lol. When I connect my tablet and go into the USB Settings there are only options for MTP and PTP. Any good reason why I can't select Mass Storage mode? Is there any way to get around it?

there are several ways of sharing a picture in which you dont need privileges, like you can upload it to dropbox or cloud and share link to that picture.
anyways it seems that your existing Rom/Tablet doesnt support mass storage mode. if so, you cannot enable mass storage. you can use explorer app to deal with clockworkmod folder.
also people from this forum could help you out if you are having Galaxy R. Since you are having a Tablet, you should ask in appropriate forum.
Why do the phone recognize my internal storage as sdcard0? This tends to lead to some problems when locating files in recovery.
Is there a way to make sure extraneous files, such as downloads, stay only on the sd card under sdcard?
Sometimes when placing a file on the sdcard from USB-to-PC connection, I navigated to the root folder using a file explorer, and tap sdcard, only to find it's not there. Instead of I have to home-->storage-->sdcard1.
Can anyone explain what exactly is going on in this case?? Or if anyone found a way to consolidate the folders, how can I do it??
Thank you.

The storage isn't extended, it's two separate file spaces. Your internal memory is reported as an internal SD card (sdcard0) and your SD Card is reported as an external SD (sdcard1)

If you download the Motorola USB Device Manager then in my computer your device will be recognised with internal and external storage available, all folders under these will be clearly visable and you shouldn't have any issues transferring data between the two.
Cheers
I have that manager and it works well, but I would like the folder "sdcard" in the home to link me to the sdcard1 and not sdcard0. Right now the "symlink" in root browser points there. Anyway to change that?
I am attempting to transfer TWRP 2.6.0.0 backup files and EFS files from my N8013 to my Win7 desktop. The backups are stored in the "0" folder on the internal SD card. A straight drag and drop only moves empty folders from the N8013 to my desktop. KIES was able to transfer some of the files but not the system and data backup files. I have tried to manipulate all file/folder properties with no luck. I searched and read where others have run into this, but have seen no solutions. Anyone have suggestions?

Use an Micro SD card and back up from TWRP to it. Then plug that in and take it that way.

In TWRP, I copied the folders from the internal to external SD. The folders then copied via drag/drop onto my desktop. Thanks.
