Where the F Does CWM Backups go? - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In clockworkmod there is a tiny file that isnt the backup, but the backup is somewhere because i can use it in cwm....... ??????????? So frustrating

This.
I'd like to backup the CWM backups into my hard drive, is there any chance? Also the backups are dated on 1970 on mine, is that a thing?

Can they send the safety copy?, I need It urgently, my telephone has remained unusable and the last option is to restore a backup with the original rom.
Please

It's in the /data/media/clockworkmode/backups/

What's the explorer app required to get into these if I may ask? Sliding Explorer is mine but it doesn't seem to be able to navigate these folders. Root Explorer or ES File could do it?

You can use root Explorer to navigate it.. But you can't copy it.. You should use adb to copy it to your pc..

Just use an OTG to do an external backup.

Enable root explorer feature in ES Explorer. Then you ll see the file in it. Then simply copy it to another directory.

SD card hierarchy?

Is it just me, or does anyone have a messy folder structure?
Ex, my SD card is named HTC 16GB and under it I have about 50 folders.
I've seen on several threads people mentioning system/app, yet I don't have those folders, my system folders are scattered a bit.
Is there any specific hierarchy I should follow, would organizing my folders screw up my phone when it tries to retrieve data?
Here's an image:

Well it's in alphabetical order...
DO NOT TOUCH THE FOLDERS
Reorganising them could stuff up your SD card I strongly recommend you leave them they are all in their place for a reason.

What? You aren't going to brick you phone meeting with folders on the sd card. In fact I've deleted, renamed and done just about everything else with folders on the sd card.
Oh, and to the op. To find your system/app folder, you need to use a file explorer on your phone, like es file explorer, and access the folder from your phone, as system folders are in your phones memory an not the sd card.

I've thought about that but after using ES File Explorer, I was unable to locate the system folders.

If you're on a stock ROM, it's possible some file are flashing a stock recovery. Verify both of these are not present
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
With root, you can delete those without a problem and reflash CWM and it shouldn't get overwritten.
U can use the"one click root" method, there is option for recovery to stick.this is the way i did it 5 months ago.
yeah my phone is in stock rom. can you tell me how to delete those files? my phone is rooted definitely.
ES File Explorer, Root Explorer or any other file explorer with root functionality. Just delete the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.
i tried deleting the file install-recovery using root explorer but it says i cant delete it because it a read file only something like that. how should i delete it?
Look for options to mount /system as writable and make sure the app is running as root. After this it will work.

Lost Data During Upgrade to 4.2.1

So I downloaded the 4,2,1 blob from the Asus site. Before flashing I made my backup with TWRP recovery, and titanium backup to backup all my data.
I booted into fastboot, pushed the blob via flash system command. Rebooted, everything upgraded like normal. Rebooted into fastboot, flashed new TWRP for 4.2, and went through the process of re-rooting. All is fine and dandy except I lost my data. The card says 10GB is used, but I can only see the new file structure. It's like the data is there, but I just can't see it.
Here is a picture of what I am talking about.

I think you'll find old files in 0 and 10 folders.

Hi there, I have exactly the same problem you described, lost a years worth of lecture notes. Windows says there's gigs worth of stuff on there but the contents totals some tiny number of megabytes. Could you please fill me on in on what to do? I am desperate and spent a whole day doing all sorts of stupid things to try to get it back!

You need to be rooted but you will find all your data in /mnt/shell/emulated
From there you can move it back into the 0/ folder which enables it to be reseen by the OS.

[Q] Cannot delete folder in data/data

I downloaded Quadrant on my HTC One to Benchmark it and then I uninstalled it however when I rebooted my phone I got a UID inconsistency error and I discovered it was this app so I had to manually delete the .apk to resolve it because for some reason it was still lingering anyway the folder for it is still in my Data/Data directory and no matter what I try I'm unable to delete it. I've used Root Explorer and Ftp'd in but no luck yet. Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Just make sure you have tap on "Mount as R/W" in Root Explorer
it is mounted a R/W
I just had exactly the same **** happen to me with quadrant. I resolved the uid issues by format cache partition and deleted the apk but that folder in data is not deleteable.
Can't install quadrant either as it says error 24. Well I have no idea what's wrong and also the free space for the folder in data matches the stats for the asec data folder. Weird !
I would put my trust in the original linux/unix command line utilities. I can recommend "Terminal IDE" as a package of a terminal emulator and a base system. Just start it, install the "system", then go to the command line. With
Code:
su
you should get root rights. And with
Code:
rm -r /path/to/whatever
you should either be able to delete it or get a more or less meaningful error message.

Well, I/o error is bad. It usually means that the memory is physically broken but I think it can also be caused when the filesystem is corrupted.
I renamed the folder instead of deleting it and everything worked perfectly... does this still mean the memory is corrupted?

Need To Find A Specific Command

I can't for the life of me mount my system as r/w, but I remember a reboot command that worked like a charm.
It was something along the lines of reboot wvscmmd. If anyone can reply with the command, it'd be much appreciated!
Are you rooted?

I am.
Then just install a root explorer app and enable R/W where you need it
Root Explorer or ES File Explorer etc

I have done. ES File Explorer reports /system as busy, and Root Explorer does nothing.
Do other root apps work? Certain you are rooted?
Root Explorer has an R/W button at the top of the directory window you need to press to enable write support
ES File Explorer has a toggle switch in the left panel tools section to enable root access

Other root apps do indeed work, I have Lucky Patcher, Magisk, and Xposed installed.
The R/W button on Root Explorer does not show, and I can toggle root explorer in ES File Explorer, and mounting /system as R/W through it says it is in use.

There isn't a button to mount as R/W.
Then something has gone wrong somewhere, I'm not even rooted and the button is there
Have you disabled apps / bloatware?
Maybe you need to start fresh, either unfreeze everything, or reset

Every time I flash a ROM, I back up what I need, then wipe everything. So it's a clean install. There's no bloatware on the device, and the issue carries over multiple flashes.
I do know it can be fixed by the reboot code I mentioned, but I can't remember it.
