I flashed TWRP and a new ROM.
everything is working perfectly fine now but the next time i booted into recovery i could not see the sd-card (internal memory) contents. it shows the sd-card folder, but its empty.
what should i do?
TWRP took a little getting used to when I first flashed it. I had to do some playing around with it to find out where everything was. I finally got everything set up right where my zip files on my SD card would show in the box on the right when i would tap on the SD folder.

Well in my case nothing is shown in the box on the right when I choose SD-card from the left box!

I am running aokp ics. I plugged my phone into the pc and my pictures disappeared on the external sd. I can see that there is space being used but cannot see and pictures or videos. Also i noticed that my internal sd has 4 of every file. Any ideas on why this might have happened.

Yeah it's doing the same thing for me.. It's getting annoying..

I had the same thing but before I installed build 29 I formatted my emmc and it is now still empty after dirty flashing builds 29-1 and 29-1-0402. I had assumed that it was a result of all the roms I've been flashing lately.
Well i guess it's good to know i am not the only one but now i cannot flash anither rom. It says that there are no files while in cwm. Then if i flashed from external it gets stuck looping on lg screen.

My question is, what is being wiped/formated when i do so in recovery mode?
If i have the "new rom" in the sdcard, before flashing it, doesn't that get wiped?
And what about Titanium backups? Or if i want to keep a stock rom backup on my device just in case?
I know there are partitions and everything has it`s place...but still, wanna be absolutely sure.
Can someone please explain what's what?
Thank you

i'm pretty sure you get to keep everything but what's in youe /system/ folder.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Ok, that helps, but what does a factory rest ( from backup & rest menu ) do, and what does formating from recovery do? Does both only del the /system/?
What about what's in the /sdcard folder? There are cache folders there, does clearing cache and dalvik clears those as well ?
Just curious, what to learn and haven't found anything about it....
Thanks!

I havent tried it out with this tablet yet but on my phone it does NOT format sdcard neither the internal sdcard.
So I dont think you would loose data on the sdcard. (Though not 100% sure with this tablet)

So it should be safe to keep a stock backup anywhere but on /system folder..?!
What did you do when u flashed a new rom...if u did... should be the same principle i believe...
Thanks m8

In my phone yes but like I said I haven't tried this out yet on my tablet
On my phone I flashed it normally:
First backup then wipe data then wipe cache and then wipe dalvik cache and then install rom

Yea and if you like you could backup and then restart tablet and plug it into your computer and copy the backup to a safe place

Yes don't do what I did and backed everyting up to the internal SD card thinking that waould be ok.. It ended up wiping everything. :silly:
I wasn't too happy either as I still haven't been able to get another copy of the tablet version of Firefox.

I`m confused a bit...
When installing a new Rom, some say; to wipe and format and clear cache and then install from zip....
So where do they keep the zip file if everything is getting wiped...?
same goes for Titanium backup, backups...
Thanks!

I thnk it depends on what recovery you're using to do this
here's what I did
titanium backup, everything to external SD card
install TWRP
make nandroid on external SD card
download rom
copy rom to external SD card
unmount/remove external SD card from tablet
in TWRP there was no option to format
so I cleared/wiped cash and dalvic
everything but the system folder was left intact
flash rom
reboot
everything is works great
but note most instructions say to format
I haven't been on CWM, but my guess is there's a format option in that recovery
Format would definetely wipe albsolutely everyting
compare to clear/wipe cashe and dalvik is not the same
yep, i'm not gonna risk loosing data... copy all backups to external microsd
and then format/factory rest.... and then copy Rom back to internal sdcard...and clear
cache...
better safe then sorry...
thanks
I'm having trouble with TB either locking up or rebooting the tablet. It will do this even if its the only non factory program installed. Its doing this about 80% of the time I try to run it. A factory reset makes no difference. Is there a hardware problem that could cause this??
TIA

Pretty sure its just a software problem. I've never gotten anything like it though but my tab freezes occasionally on tibu.

Have you tried clearing data /Uninstall /reinstall? Are you restoring from a similar device? Maybe an app causing your issues when TB tries to restore it. Definitely not a hardware issue.

I am having issues as well. At first I couldn't get past the "All Done" without it rebooting. Reinstalled it without any differences, but read that clearing Google Play cache would help.
I am finally able to use it for a few minutes but the it freezes and I have to reboot.
I am going to try clearing the cache, data, and reinstall one more time.

Check your µSD Card
I had the same problem with TB, when using my 64 GB microSD for the backup. Once removed and setting the backup to internal storage, everything is fine.
Check your SD Card if you're using it for these backups. My Sandinsk SD Card was so "buggy" i had to send it back to Amazon.

I just moved storage from the microsd to the sd and all is well for the moment. I'll try formatting the micro and see if it helps.

I'm only rooted, and ran TB one time to back things up and had no problem. Never restored or updated backup. When are people having this problem?

I had the same problem. I was backing up to 32GB external microSD. It was formatted NTFS. After I reformatted to FAT32, no issues. I've read about others having issues with NTFS and exFAT.
My SanDisk 32GB class 4 was exFAT, so I tried NTFS but neither played nice with TB. So, now it is FAT32 and finally working. Unfortunately, I can't put large files on the microSDHC card anymore.
In short: either format to FAT32 or move your backup to the internal memory. Either way I also suggest getting PRO and backing up to Dropbox or Box for added protection.

I'm trying to figure out why after downloading any file to my sd it goes into storage/sd0, and when I move the file it appears to move just fine to sd/downloads. However, when I go into TWRP recovery the files are not there. I have been troubleshooting this all morning and afternoon and it appears as though since flashing bb7 when it first dropped and then two days ago I flashed CROMI and now I'm apparently stuck here. Any help is appreciated.

It's because you updated to a 4.2.1 rom and then downgraded to 4.1.1 again.
Unfortunately 4.2.1 reorganised your internal sdcard without asking as well as setting some folder links and now they are incompatible with your recovery and android 4.1.1
Best fix is to copy everything some where safe, make sure you have a flashable rom or a Nandroid Backup on external sd, wipe internal from recovery, reflash cromi and then rebuild your file structure manually.
Sorry. The BB7 guys should warn you imo.
Hello.
Can someone please help me out? Awhile ago I flashed rage rom, and it placed a folder called HD rage extras onto my SD card. I have since then been using other roms, and wiped everything except internal SD card multiple times. I cannot seem to delete that rage folder, or the 5 files inside it
YES, I have used root file explorers, multiple ones, and all of them will not allow me to delete them.
Even tried changing permissions but they still will not delete.
Any ideas?

The next time you flash a ROM, wipe data and it will be gone.
I've done that at least 5 times, currently running cm nightlies I have wiped everything except internal SD.

You need to wipe or format internal.

If I did that, wouldn't I lose my backup, recovery, or new rom download? Would I have to adb with a PC after?

Wiping data doesn't touch your recovery, but it will get rid of everything else. I always save my backups, etc. to my external SD. That's what it's there for.
Yeah, my ex card stopped working awhile ago. Still can't believe there isn't another way to delete a file that's not even being used any other way
