Pure Google AOSP, but I first noticed it while running LiquidSmooth. Went in to back up liquid so I could flash Pure Google and noticed all my back ups were gone.

Does your sdcard now have a /0? You mentioned you're using CWM 6.0.1.0 which I know isn't 100% compatible with 4.2

sorry to hear this, happened to me once too.
luckily you haven't having IMEI issues, and can make another backup, I backup everything to my computer and drop box, and i mean every little thing, from now on after that just to be safe

Yeah there is sdcard/0/ now which i haven't noticed before.
What should I be using instead of 6.0.1.0. Is there a newer version to download?

Yea, there's a newer version that's supposed to have support for multi-user feature. This is why you have /0 in your file system. If you're sticking with AOSP 4.2, then you need a newer version of CWM which you can download from the official CWM website. It should download as an img file which you can use EZ Recovery (available in the Play Store) to install and properly update.
The next step would be to select all and copy everything in the /0 folder then move it up to /sdcard.

Alright I now have the newer version of CWM. When copying everything from the /0 folder to the /sdcard it says "overwrite - warning!!!! do you want to overwrite (folder will be merged)? Is this normal? Should I proceed? (thanks for the help by the way)

I thought with 4.2 you are suppose to have the "0" on sd-card, no?

You don't really want to have a /0 directory because it changes the path for anything you use that is saved to /sdcard. Try restoring a nandroid and you begin to see the problem. That's what leads to the posts such as this since it's usually unexpected.

[ROM] (2/28/13) NANDROID Restore Stock FR 2.22 V10f / GB 2.33 V21e and 2.34 V21y

Stock Nandroid Restores for 2.22 Froyo and 2.33/2.34 GingerBread​for T-Mobile G2x LG P999 only!​
(These Nandroid restores are not rooted and are in complete stock condition.)​
Instructions:
1. You must have ROM Manager installed and or ClockworkMod Recovery flashed and an external sdcard installed. Then have the directory and file contents of the "LG-P999-V10f.zip" or "LG-P999-V20e.zip" file extracted to your external SDCard in the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/LG-P999-V10f directory. If the directory does not exist then create it.
There must be a directory called "LG-P999-V10f" or "LG-P999-V21e" or "LG-P999-V21y" in the "/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup" subdirectory and the files must be directly in that directory, not in another nested directory or Nandroid will not find the files. (Note: If you have any spaces in your directory name. You will get a md5 check some error.)
​
2. Run ROM Manager and choose Reboot into Recovery or boot phone into clockworkmod recovery.
3. In recovery go down to backup and restore, choose restore.
4. Select LG-P999-V10f or LG-P999-V21e or LG-P999-V21y and choose Yes - Restore.
5. When the restore finishes do not reboot yet. Do a "wipe data/factory reset" from the recovery menu (just to be thorough).
6. When it completes choose Reboot.

I used Rom Manager to flash Clockwork Mod, then rebooted into recovery and backed it up. You need a micro SD card of course.

Just to clarify a bit. Drop the folder into clockworkmod/backup/ on your SD card. Made no sense when I first looked at the file path.
Tried this as a restore since my connectivity still sucks. I am getting a MD5 miss match. . . . What ever that means, I have no idea.
Bands
So I assume this doesn't enable the at&t 3G bands, right?
Thanks a lot for this. Saved my phone when I was getting stuck on the lg screen.

it probably wont work w/any recovery if it really does have an md5 mismatch.
you dont really want to restore from a file thats bad
use anyone of these three, just get the zip version and install to both internal and external sdcards just to make your recovery can mount either scdard to install it

Not in this case, I know a rename will cause mismatch, but more specifically spaces. I know some users renamed with spaces and couldn't restore until they removed spaces.
Given this is not the case, it seems the backup should not be restored.

if you just change the folder name, its fine, but not any files in that folder/
where is backup located int or ext
card might not have enough free space and it didnt actually finish the backup.

Just reflash the rom, kernel, and modems versions that go with the backup then do an advanced restore of data.ext4.tar only to get your data partition back. That's where all your settings and config live.
Don't really need the system, recovery, boot, or cache tars/img files of the backup as you can reflash them from the source rom.

"Operation failed" on rooted i727

Running untouched JB leak 2.
ROM is the stablest, smoothest I've seen, but all 3 root explorers I tried after flashing Mohan's insecure kernel and the SuperSU-0.93-Busybox-1.20.2 zip gave that error when renaming most apks.
The cleanup and unroot procedures in the updated Su app left me wondering too, with no apparent effectiveness.
Is it all that different in JB where I shouldn't expect to debloat this way? ...or did I miss something in the rooting process?

At one point I wiped caches, but that made no change. Data wiping shouldn't be necessary here, so I didn't.

or you can try this rom [UCLL3] SUPERLITE UNOFFICIAL SAMSUNG JB 4.1.2 >> 202mb << ROOTED - INSECURE KERNEL - INIT.D
you can add back what you want from there also
Much appreciated, thank you Vincom. I'm keeping my SR as close to stock JB leak2 as I can.
Everything's already there when I need it and this rom is as stable as the ICS I was using, a dd for on the job that's low maintenance.
I want to take a subtractive more than an additive approach to features, so I'm trying to figure out why, for example, in my rooted app folder only one of the Accuweather... files could be successfully renamed.
My other question is whether a different su app might function more fully in JB, since the 2 commands I mentioned in OP seemed ineffective.

the reason you cant remove or rename something is because it is being used by android, its like trying to delete a file on a computer while its being used by another program.

Thanks again Vincom! I'm not a tibu fan but I spent a few more minutes at [HOWTO] THE ULTIMATE NEWB GUIDE and tried again. For my needs, I
Flashed Chainfire's CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip,
verified root using Root Checker,
quarantined using App Quarantine what I hadn't already disabled using stock methods.
Explorer+ still can't rename the files you said were 'locked', but my phone boots 5 sec. faster.

Google Play Store "No Connection"

So I have a rooted GS3 running stock 4.1.2 and I flashed one of those inverted Google play store apps using twrp. Then when I rebooted my device for another reason and went into the play store, it said no connection even though my WiFi and 4g are both fine. I uninstalled all updates to the app, but then the play store would crash even when running in the background. So I found the latest version of the play store I could online, which was 4.0.2.5 which isn't the most recent. But now I still have the same no connection problem. Any solutions? I've also tried clearing data and cache from the app

This happened to me to me once, I fixed it by restoring a backup. I couldn't really figure out what was causing it. I know I messed it up by clearing data on system framework. But I have no idea how that messed it up.
You could just flash a custom rom and that will fix the issue. The problem is that the playstore is being updated constantly. Any Inverted playstore I have running ends up getting automatically updated to the most recent release anyways, so I just kind of gave up theming it. You probably installed an old version of playstore. The playstore must have some automatic connection protocol that enables it to automatically update without permission, and an old playstore might not allow that connection.
You might just be able to completely delete the playstore from your phone to install a recent one, but I have no idea if that would work. Someone has to know how to fix this without a restore or flashing a new rom.

That will work for sure, just have to find a custom rom you like. Your play store won't restore even if it's backed up through titanium. It's a good idea to have titanium anyway.
Never restore system data, only restore user apps + data. That's known to cause problems after a restore.

Are you new to flashing roms? Just make sure you do all the proper steps first.
Nandroid and unlock bootloader first.
factory reset, wipe cache and Dalvik cache, format system, then flash rom.
Follow the instructions on the roms page and you're good to go.

I'm now at the point where Google Drive and Google+ keep crashing too. I'm realizing this is a problem with all the google apps, so what would happen if I just flashed a gapps zip file for 4.1.2 via TWRP? would that work since this seems to be a problem within all the apps by google? im running the latest ota, the MD3 build.

That is very strange, give it a shot, flashing a gapps package might work. I do think it's a problem with the Google apps though, so your play store is working right? I think all you need now is let the play store auto update. Maybe there's a way to force it. That should allow the rest of your apps to work.

3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor
4. Delete everything in the host file
5. Save
I ended up fixing it by flashing another rom, using titanium backup to copy the play store. and then reflashed back to the original rom I was using and then restored with copy of the play store i previously had.

i get mine fixed by doing this :

2. Search for a folder named "system" and then look for a folder that says "etc"
3. Inside "etc" folder search for a file that says "host" . edit that text using any text editor

The host file is read-only, I can't modify it.
I too have the same issue and cannot edit the file due to read-only permissions.

/0/ file path question

Alright so I was using PACman rom, but was frustrated with all the random reboots I was getting so I decided I'd flash a TW based rom (axis rom) which I figured would be a little more stable.
Now, I want to flash carbon rom but I have this 0 section of my files on my internal storage, and new pictures I take are put in a different place than the old ones I had.
My question is, once if I flash a new aosp based rom will those files be deleted or will there be a second /0 file path?

Almost positive it will add another 0 path. Its used for multi users. I had at one point like 7-8 of them.
Its easy to back them up using airdroid.

look at data/media you should have another sdcard0 there and all your stuff that you said is in different places should be there.

Well it did delete everything. I'd show you a screenshot of how it looked before I flashed axis (a TW based ROM) from PACman (an AOSP ROM), to now (on carbon rom,also and aosp ROM), but I don't have a screenshot for you because it was deleted!

Did you back everything up with airdroid? It should be on your computer. You can put everything back using the same app.

No, I use Dropbox's auto backup feature for my pictures. It's not that fact that they're deleted forever, which in fact they are not because I have them backup up, it's that I have to put them all back on and that will be a huge pain and take forever.
That and I'm not sure what else was deleted among pictures. Other important files, apk's etc... all gone and I'll never know what it was I deleted.

What exactly did you wipe in recovery before flashing Axis? When you look at Settings/Storage, is that space still being occupied? If so, while using a file explorer, go to data/media like Surge1223 posted then make sure the file explorer is set to show hidden files.
