CM 10.1 “0" folder issue Please Help!

So I just flashed CM 10.1 on my I535 to get a taste of 4.2. Nice ROM overall, however it did something strange to my SD card.
After flashing it, I booted into recovery to restore my daily driver CR5.5.1 and noticed this strange “0" folder on my SD Card in TWRP.
I initially was unable to locate my backups but then found them in a folder.
My backup was unable to flash because it was no longer a .zip file. All the files were .win.
Two questions, how do I fix this and flash my backup?
How do you check to make sure TWRP is up to date?
Thank you very much for the help !

Here you go: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/37316-protip-42-and-recoveries/
In case you don't read the thread, it's only four pages right now, this isn't a 100% fix so you may have to repeat these steps if/when it happens again. It looks easy enough although I'm not on AOSP to know.

Damn,
I just started a new thread about this topic because it is different but related to CM 10.1..
Just read that I need to Odin back to stock and unroot.. then *2767*3855#' then re root and unlock?
I flashed back to stock ICS last night and did the above mentioned keypad trick.
Then flashed back to JB and am still getting the global mode issue..

Hmm, well how about the third post here? Please disregard their "enthusiastic" tone of voice.

I've only seen two ideas as potential solutions, Odin/dialer code or flashing or maybe changing this obscure setting. Maybe I need to do more thorough reading on other methods.
Seeing all these issues with JB 4.2 is rather disconcerting.

Unable to factory reset... Wtf?!?!

OK so I got this skyrocket from a friend, but for some reason i cant get rid of his data. I've tried regular factory reset via settings, also I tried flashing the stock ROM with Odin, both seem to work fine, I'm not getting any errors or anything, but when I reboot the phone afterward its still exactly the same, all his apps, accounts, data is still there. I also tried to install cwm via Odin which also said was successful, but then the stock recovery is still on the phone any help would be greatly appreciated, I've had a few sammys in my day so I know my way around Odin / heimdall etc... But this is puzzling

Do you have an external card and could that be where the data is stored? Have you wiped that?

I just tried that right now, still no luck. Also a weird thing I noticed is that when I do a factory reset from the settings menu, the stock recovery menu comes up and I have to manually push the factory reset/erase all data option with the vol rockers & power button... usually its automated when done from the actual settings menu.

seen this issue once b4, determined it was nand write and/or erase failure, I don't think the guy ever did figure it out . no errors were given when using odin or recovery, no matter what he flashed/erased the phone booted up as if he never did anything.

Yea that's what I was thinking, its like the whole system is set to read-only. Some sort of chip failure maybe. Bummer cause the phone looks like brand new, not a scratch or knick on it

I might be wrong but this sounds like what happens when you have a corrupted emmc. If I am right, this is a hardware issue. One quick way to check is to flash the latest official firmware via ODIN. If I am right, either Odin will fail or you will have the exact same ROM you have now even after Odin install.

Can you write to the internal SD once in the Android? For example when you take a photo or download a file does it get saved on the phone? If the answer is yes then it cannot be a hardware issue. Just a permission cluster-fu..
Get a Linux environment ( boot up your PC with a live CD or something) mount the drive use root su/sudo commands to set chmod 777 on the entire mount

Topprospect posted a long complicated thread when he had the super brick. If I remember correctly, it involved some ROM code changes to use external SD card as the primary memory. I don't remember if it worked for him. Maybe worth a shot if all else fails and you really really want to use the phone.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm pretty sure this things fried, luckily its not my primary phone. Anyone know offhand what the manufacturer warranty period is for Samsung? I know HTC is a year, ive sent them phones in the past and they fixed them free of charge as long as it was within a year of the manufacturing date, hopefully Samsung is similar.

OK, question I pulled up the log from cwm a few times and it kept saying something something about mtd which I know is a partition arrangement it is possible that it's just not re writing positions correctly? If so I probably need to learn how to check md5 checksum

Just flashed this recovery and its working fine. I cannot test USB Mounting as my computer is being stupid and cannot detect anything on any USB. I also flashed Carbon ROM on my Blaze here and it booted up fine. Safe to say that recovery is working as it should!

AWESOME! Since moving to the 4.3 roms I've been looking for a touch enabled recovery that would play nice with the newer roms.

This recovery kicks ass! I finally had a chance to put it to work (run a backup, delete off some old backups, install a zip, etc...) I love being able to run CWM by touch and it's so smooth and quick. It's very responsive and seems to process tasks much quicker! Awesome work Phil3759 thank you!

[Q] So about this cyangenmod..

I'm trying to root my s3 and the goal is in the end to put cm on it. I'm bummed the installer doesn't work for our phone, but is there a good guide on here or elsewhere with the files I'll end and a how to?
Thanks in advance ( FYI, I've flashed and rooted multiple times before just never cm)

If you stop by Google and go to CyanogenMod's page, find the phone in the devices section. There are device specific guides there. If you want to try something else, go to the original development section, find the CyanogenMod ROM and follow the directions there.

Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

If you're rooted, and unlocked, do you have your nandroid backup set up with custom recovery? From there just use Goo Manager to boot into recovery, and then wipe your cache and then flash your ROM and appropriate Gapps pack. Process was fairly simple on my SIII using TWRP. Make sure you look up the appropriate Gapps zip before starting or you will wind up with key features inoperable and will have to reboot and load it onto your phone before finishing setup.
You'll like CM 10.1.x on the SIII, it runs very smoothly.

Nothing in the post I linked mentions Rom manager. The instructions work if followed.

Don't forget to do this either. Just in case. I've never had to restore, but i still have A & B covered

Not necessarily. I think I flashed my SIII with about 85%. Then again, I did most of the steps with it plugged into the charger EXCEPT for flashing the rom itself. It took about four or five minutes tops.

Has anyone tried both cm and slimbean? I'm thinking of trying slimbean first bc I have usee cm in the past but I keep reading slimbean is stable and gives great battery.
