After installing a few custom roms and wiping data i seem to have multiple roots
Looking at the phone- on my desktop I notice the following-
My computer/ SCH-I535/Phone/0/0/0/0/0
Each "0" has a complete set of files like the previous folder
Is this normal or do I have to reformat the phone somehow
Thanks for any advice
Delete any duplicate files/folders. You must keep 1 of the 0 folders though. The reason this happened is because you're recovery is out of date. Update your recovery to the latest version and you'll be fine from here on out. 4.2 adds multiple users which partions your storage to allow for this, the multiple 0 folders happen because you're old recovery is not aware of this partioning, so it just adds another folder for each 4.2 rom flashed.

Thanks. Where can I find the update and do I run it the same way is run a rom zip ?
Assuming your running one of the big 2 recoveries...for twrp: download goo manager from the playstore and in the options choose install open script recovery. For cwm: download rom manager from the playstore and install custom recovery. Done!

Use rom manager and update it. I use twrp so I'm not sure what version cwm is running now, but I know it's higher than what you have. The app will download the current version (regular or touch) and flash it for you. Doesn't get any easier.
Just got the rom mgr and ran the file. Yes it was easy. Thanks
One last question- the next I install a new Rom , what's the best way to clean up the system

Format.... all. That's what I did. Just remove your sd card and make sure EVERYTHING is backed up. You will lose EVERYTHING!

Here's what I learned after updating the CW recovery.
There's no format all and I was a bit hesitant to format all the choices. I read somewhere that you could lose the root files. I didn't want to go through that again.
On the first go round I formatted the " system", then I installed the rom. After install the extra "0" folders were still there. On the next try I formatted the internal SD card, that was it. All the extra "0" folders were gone
Thanks guys for the help!!

coming from a G2, i have flashed a many a roms, did wipes, etc. my question is not toally newbish, but is newbish to the G2x.
i did the nvflash, installed the newer CWM, comfirmed that i have a recovery setup,etc...
now, from this point is anything different compared to doing it on the G2? i still scroll down to install update from SD card and stuff like that, and install the zip file and phone does all the work?

Yes, should be the same as any other phone with CWM. As long as the flashable .zip is made for CWM and your phone, you're good to go

Hey guys I'm coming from Windows mobile and I've never used CWM before. I rooted, installed CWM using Gunman's directions last night, and I downloaded CM7 to my extSD but I just don't know exactly what to do next. Is there a link someone could provide me or give me directions on the steps I need to take after I'm loaded into recovery?
Do I just wipe and then install zip from the folder? Thanks for the help. Sorry for being a newb.

So once you have recovery, you can now flash custom roms, kernals and themes.
1. Put the files you've downloaded into you ext SD
2. Reboot into recovery by pressing and holding power + vol down button til you see a red recovery screen
3. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
4. Wipe data/cache
5. Install .zip
6. Choose the ROM that you want to flash
7. Reboot
Edit: Also if you'd like to save your apps and their data, I suggest installing Titanium backup and make backups for your apps before you flash anything. And if all else fails, just reboot back to recovery and restore your nandroid backup
Somewhere I must have done something different, when I boot into CWM thru the button method I get the red recovery but it doesn't see my backups. When I use Rom Manager, and boot into recovery I get the orange/yellow recovery and it shows my backups. What I need to do to fix so the red recovery sees my backups?

Thanks a lot for the step-by-step list. For some reason when I navigate my folders in CWM the .zip files are not showing up. For CM7, then only file that it will allow me to install is the boot_animation.zip, which I'm sure won't boot the actual CM7 software. Oy ve. I'll keep messing around with it and see what I can figure out. Maybe I'll load a few other roms and see if those .zip files will show up when I navigate the folders.
Has anybody had this problem? Loading the boot.img file to a particular area on your ext_sd card (which was the one I set up when I installed CWM and nvidia or whatever it's called), and then once you try to find it it doesn't show up? Ugh. I'll try at it some more tonight and let you guys know what I find out.
I don't have to rename the boot.img file to update.sd.zip or anything do I? I should just be able to navigate to the folder and install the file, right?

You don't want to unpack the .zip file. The way you downloaded it should be the way you put it on your SD card. Do not rename anything inside the .zip.
So, take the cm7.zip file that you installed, whatever the exact name of it is, and copy that to your external sd card. When you're in recovery, pick the option to chose .zip from sd card, navigate to the .zip you just placed on the card, and it should ask you to install it.
I hope that helps. Let me know if you're confused about anything
If I were to flash cm7 is the newer red text bootloader OK to use?

Alright, I think I got it. On my old HD2 I used to have to unzip the deal when I would run it from my sd card. I think that's where I was confused. So I just download the .zip file, don't extract it at all, place it in the folder, and just run it straight from my phone. Thanks for your help. Hopefully now it will work.
EDIT: That worked. Thanks knuckelpuc. Woohoo, CM7 how I've missed you.

Are you asking how to get CM10 working correctly? Or just how to get your TF101 working fine again? If the former, I can't really help you there, and that's just going to be difficult because CM10 is still in development, so there could be a host of problems. If you just want to get it working again, I would suggest finding a different (preferably STABLE) ROM and flashing it onto your device. That should work.
Also, if you're flashing a completely different ROM onto your device (not an upgrade or root, or whatever else,) I would go by the general rule of ALWAYS wipe your system, dalvik cache, normal cache, and if you're flashing files from an SD card, be sure to wipe your internal memory too. This will ensure that none of your previous files conflict with the new ones.
This happened to me when i ran one of the JB roms and then tried to nandroid back to revolver. By default the mounting for /data/media/ which is the internal memory is supposed to be at /sdcard/, but for some reason it got switched to /storage/sdcard0/. Nandroiding back to Revolver didn't help as the change was to something before the rom, so even twrp was acting funny because the mountings were present there also.
After some confusion i flashed superwipe lite and all was well. I ran lite since its supposed to leave /data/media/ alone, while reparitioning the rest of the system, so i thought that at some point its got to change the mountings back to the way it was supposed to be in HC and ICS.
Now if i could only remember where those mountings were originally saved i can just go in there and edit the file directly if this happens again.

What recovery manager are you using? And are you loading your flash packages on a MicroSD or the internal memory?

Here's what I would suggest (assuming you have a microSD card):
Load your ROM of choice onto a microSD card and Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) to your internal memory. Reboot into recovery and flash the TWRP .zip to install it, and then reboot back into recovery. After that, go to "Wipe" and run Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Factory Reset, and System, and DO NOT REBOOT Then go back and choose "Install" from the menu and make sure you're viewing "using external SD," and there should be your ROM .zip. Flash it and reboot.
Let me know what happens or if you have any questions.

Alright, well, I'm not sure why your touch would't be working if you're using a TF101, but here's my last idea: Go here and do this. Make sure to read it carefully, as that basically just wipes your drive COMPLETELY and reinstalls the STOCK firmware. If you can't figure out how to do that, then I have no idea how else I can help you. I'm sorry.

Can you not just download a file manager app from the Play Store? There's several out there...
I know that this is a noob question and I feel semi-embarrassed for asking since I've been around so long, but better safe than sorry.
I plan on installing 4.2 soon, so I will be starting fresh with all of the wipes. My SD card is getting rather cluttered. Is it safe to just delete EVERYTHING (aside from the rom zip in question and a backup, of course) without any issues? I don't care about losing game data and what not. I'm assuming/hoping that flashing the rom will put back whatever is needed.
If there is anything in particular I should leave on the SD, please let me know.
Thanks for the input!
Every Sunday I format my sdcard
I like it to be light.. I like to enter recovery and mount SD, format my card in windows. Then when its done I simply drag a rom back on there and flash it.. Its usually fast as sh|t
The rom you flash will install all the necessary files you need. Good luck mike!

Since you don't intend to keep any app data, you can basically delete everything (aside from the ROM zip, TWRP backup, and Titanium folder). Any folders needed by Android will be created automatically. Same thing with any apps you re-install.
I was on 4.2 went back to 4.1 and restored back to 4.2 which left files on my internal SD. I can see them while in Clockwork back cannot access them any other way. IS their a way besides flashing 4.1 to get those files. I have a couple GB their of zip I want to delete and some pics.
From CWR I install zip from Internal I see folders 0, download, DCIM,an about 8 others.
Thanks

thanks, I was just having this exact same issue, but when flashing via TWRP. I normally have my flashing folder on the root of the SD, but once I flashed a 4.2.1 rom I couldn't find it in TWRP. kind of odd... but there it was in data/media. thanks!
Anyone know how to fix the multiple 0 problem? When I flash a 4.2 it naturally makes at least on 0 sub folder but sometime it gets corrupted and I end up with emulated/0/0 and it messes up the root of my internal sd. As such when I try to use titanium it cant find the files after a transition between asop and tw roms.
I would put all my flashing material on my external SD..and format your internal sd after doing all the standard wiping before a fresh install..

I'm running CleanROM 3.4.4 and it's really cool. I downloaded the zips for battery mod and color mod.
I SOO KNOW they are in my internal SD cause I went and found them with root explorer. 'sd/download' =the zips I downloaded
I also deleted some things I didn't want on my SD download file. I say that 2nd part to say this-
When I go into recovery and it automatically goes into download file for me to pick my zip(s) the two I want are no where to be found and the zips I deleted are still showing up in recovery download folder.
What gives? I can't flash these mods.. bc I can't find them anywhere in any folder I look while in recovery..... I truly think TWRP is not recognizing what I have downloaded or deleted.... Very annoying... Makes me want to install CWM
any thoughts

A clue? I believe the path would be /sdcard/download unless that rom has been updated to 4.2 in which case /sdcard/0/download.
The other possibility you may be using the 4.2 version of twrp on a non 4.2 rom or the other way around. That would mean twrp is looking in /sdcard/0/download when in fact you downloaded to /sdcard/download or the other way around.
Just a clue! These are the first things I would consider.
Don't install CWM!
If you can't understand that mess I typed, I can't. Use the file browser in twrp and look for your files.
You may have to move them where twrp is looking.
Use a file manager(while in OS) and search for the file names of the files twrp shows and move the others there.

I have not had this particular issue but something similar. I have moved, deleted or copied folders/files on internal storage in es file explorer then connected to pc & looked at internal storage on pc and folders/files don't show the changes. They will show, can't remember now but was after a reboot or period of time. Have not seen this in twrp though but I rarely flash from internal. Use a external micro sd if you have one.
