So for some reason 2.3.3 isn't showing the correct files when trying to flash, most folders are empty and everything was unorganized, went to CWM and everything worked fine.
Every time I try to flash 2.3.1 again it won't let me. Is there any other app like goo manager to flash twrp or a way to fix 2.3.3?

What do you mean most folders are empty/unorganized? Which rom are you on and do you have a /sdcard/0 directory? When you say CWM worked fine, in what way did it work fine?
Beans build 9, it's not 4.2 but I do have 0 folders from previous 4.2 flashes. In a root folder I have all my files there and everything is there, in cwm everything is the same. In TWRP some folders are missing, the download folder for example is empty, and they arentbin the order they're supposed to be.

So your filesystem looks like this /sdcard/0/? If so, just move all the folders from /sdcard/0 to the /sdcard path. Basically, if you have this /0 directory with all your data saved to it, this causes havoc when you switch roms or want to restore backups.
I'm not understanding your flashing issue with TWRP. Did you place a rom on /sdcard, boot right into TWRP 2.3.3, and it just wouldn't see that rom zip or is it something else? Or did you put the rom zip on /sdcard/0?
It's actually the opposite, the /0 is showing and not the root of the SD card.

Could you screenshot what you're seeing? If you see /0, you can just go up one level and be on /sdcard.
I actually got it fixed but thanks for trying to help, the problem was that it was only showing the /0 folder and not the actual root so the root finally showed after flashing a 4.2.
The first thing on SD card was that 0 folder, weird problem.

Okay, so im returning back to Stock ROM for G2X because CyanogenMods version is horrible at the moment (too many glitches and freezes!)
I put the Stock ROM (titled LG-P999-V10.rar) back into the recovery folder of ClockworkMod folder.
It DOES appear on my SDCard that i have it but when i go into recovery, it does not show.
Why is this?
Move it to the backup folder and see if that works...

Hey thanks for snapping at the one person who was trying to help you. I understand you are frustrated, but come on... the OP says you put in the recovery folder. I was clarifying that it should be in the "backup" folder.
Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before cm7 like everyone suggests?

Taking a wild stab here, but did you un-rar LG-P999-V10.rar and place the contents within your cwm backup directory on your sdcard?
Sounds like you just dropped the .rar file onto your sdcard -- it doesn't work that way.

It should be in the external sd card , it should be un rared and unzipped into /clockworkmod/backup folder .

1. As far as I know, recovery only recognizes .zip files NOT .rar
2. Not familiar with CM7 so I suggest after converting to zip file, try putting the zip file in BOTH (SD Card & Internal Memory)
Hope this helps.

So none of your back ups are recognized? Sounds like something went wonky in your recovery. Here is what I would try, but I am not an expert. Redownload the stock rom(probally from TGA's post) to your computer, unrar it to a folder named whatever, p999-stock, mount your phone or pull the SD card and use a card reader and place that folder in the "backup" folder of clockwork mod. Reboot into recovery and see if that works.
Failing that, reinstall cwr...
If no go... do a clean reinstall of cm7... wipe everything, install, I wipe cache again because I am ocd, fix permissions. Reboot, set up, load apps and fix permissions one last time...

Im going to try that right now... thanks!
Flashed cm7 and now trying to flash different modem through CWM. In root explorer I can see the modem.zip but I can't see any of the other rom.zips I keep on the root of my sdcard. Can't find them anywhere within root explorer in fact. So when I go to CWM to flash the modem.zip, I get the opposite...all other rom.zips and kernels are there but the new modem.zip is not?
Smh

Where are you copying the modem? Internal or external SD? External SD isn't visible in CWM (atleast on my phone).
If using clockwork mod as the above poster stated you have to copy the zips to the internal SD.

So does this mean that CM7 still cant 'see' extenal sd?
on IRC I was told to check /emmc but I did not find this with ES file explorer.
Am I missing something?

I literally JUST figured this out. For some reason, in root explorer, I have to put my downloaded zips (modems, kernels, roms, etc) in a folder on the root of my phone in a folder called emmc. This is new after flashing cm7 and somehow I guess I missed this helpful tip somewhere. Anyways. That is the folder in which I need to put items I want to flash through cwm. So sorted...
What's IRC? I apologize if this is obvious and missed that too lol!

Hello all,
I have a big problem with my Transformer.
I was using Android Revolution HD 3.5.1. Then flash LiquidSmooth v2.0 RC7 , then KERNEL of sainthout for JB, and issue happened.
Issue:
- Can't copy and paste any kind of file from outside into the internal storage (I don't have sdcard, use internal storage only). Everytime I try, it takes a long time and respond with a Windows message like this
- Can't use File Manager to delete or move file, it says "Delete file failed"
- I can delete file while connect to PC but the file still exist.
Try to flash back to Android Revolution HD 3.5.1 and harmony kernel but it still failed.
Need advice.
Kind regards,thanks
Update troubleshoting:
When I wipe Dalvik Cache, Transformer says: "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

Use easyflash and go back to stock, then root it again, install a different recovery ( twrp or rogue recovery)
Sent from my Transformer using xda app-developers app
I had a similar problem. Seems like between JB and ICS roms the permissions get messed up. I have a user "media_rw" in JB and "sdcard_rw" in ICS on the mount to /sdcard. The only way I could fix it was to backup the data and reformat the internal memory. Then I just copied the data back.
One other thing first, try copying from /data/media. That should be the same as /sdcard.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant only the data you didn't have in the backup or wasn't in the backup. I agree, the key is the clean install.

SOLVED! thanks you very much for your advice bro, it works with me now!
To anyone who has the problem like me, please follow this thread.
And one lesson for me, always backup the current rom before update anything!!!
You're more than welcome. I'm glad I could actually help someone for once instead of feeling like such a leech.
I just installed CM 10.1 onto my device. To my surprise, it re-partitioned my internal storage. All of the files that were on my phone, including the backup of the stock rom, are still there somewhere, they've just been moved... When I look at my storage in settings, I can see all the space the files are taking up, I just can't get to them. I searched through all the usual places. Is there any way to get to them? Or at the very least, reformat the device again, and remove the 6 Gigabytes of space they're needlessly taking up?

Is this the 0 folder thing? 4.2 introduces multi-user, and each user is given a folder, folder "0" for the first user. Check if you can find that somewhere. Are you coming from stock rooted?

I am coming from stock rooted. That's what I was expecting, I've had the issue before with my Galaxy Nexus, but it isn't that. It seems to have added a complete new partition to the internal storage, not just moving things around to new folders. I've checked Storage/Emulated, Storage/sdcard0, Storage/sdcard1, Storage/usbdisk0, and I've turned up with nothing. It just seems to have completely screwed everything up, and at this point, I have no clue what to do.

Hmm... I guess you could try using root explorer to search for the file names or something, if you remember what they were called...
If you're fine with losing all that, you could go into recovery, clean all the caches and system and all that (there's 3 or 4 things to format/wipe), and reinstall the OS and see if that cleans things up.

But then again, when I flashed for the first time I think it cleared literally everything and reformatted, which took quite a while compared to when I clean flash now.

Yeah, not entirely sure how to do that part, I dunno if there's more to it than just flashing it as if it were any other ROM. Did you not care for CM10.1? I prefer it far more than stock!

I thought it was alright. I'd just like to go back to stock, make a backup as a precaution, copy the backup to my PC as an extra precaution, and then flash ParanoidAndroid. I prefer that to CM10, personally.
Next time you use JB 4.2 roms, go to /data/media and you'll see the entire contents of your sdcard.

Currently on a TW rom, Jelly Beans 19. A couple months back I had flashed an aosp rom and of course got the "0" folder. After switching back to TW, the folder remained. I flashed the restore SD zip by itself, along with fresh rom install, and it didn't fix it. I also formatted internal storage as well as SD card. For a couple days it was fine and then behold, that stupid folder is there again. Only bad part is, anything I download I have to merge into that folder so recovery will recognize it. I've done the formatting/ wiping several times. Any thoughts?

the 0 folder is an emulated partition of the internal storage on your phone. i have one too. everyone does.
if you go into es file explorer, and go to the root of you phone, and then hit storage, you will see 3 options, "emulated", "sdcard1" and "0"
the "0" is a fake sd card. the internal storage is partitioned, in case something goes wrong you wont lose all your data.
i found this out the hard way lol forgot to back up and data wipe before flashing a rom once when i was half asleep, and you would think its all gone but no it was still all there. games, apps, contacts, the whole 9.
