I'm going to apologize in advance that this may not come out correctly. But tonight I tried to flash 5.0 on my HTC One M8 using Vanilla Pop, I went onto skydragon and downloaded the firmware from there and then loaded Vanillapop. When I went to upload my apps from titanium backup, they were all gone. Upon further inspection, what happened was a new level of folders laid on top of the old ones, so on this new level all the folders are empty and to get to my old ones I have to click on a "0" and then I can see all my backups and saved information. I decided to go back to 4.4.4 and Viperrom but when I reloaded the 4.4.4 frimware, it created another level. so now to get to my files on the internal memory card I have to click 0/0/foldername to get to my files and viperrom won't recognize the extra levels and give me an error of a bad internal memory card. How to I eliminate these two extra levels that were created or how do I point ViperRom in the right direction so I can setup my phone. I am definitely back on 4.4.4 so I don't think it is incorrect firmware.
Thank you and please let me know what details I can share if my description wasn't clear.

If your items are restored I would save them to your sd card also save the rom zip that you want to install to your sd card and also do a cloud back up then just take your sd card out and go to recovery and do a complete wipe of everything before doing so go to mount and make sure everything is mounted then wipe everything including internal memory.
If it were me I would have the newest ruu on another sd card and after wiping everything just run the ruu off your sd card which when you go to fastboot it should pick up the ruu on your sd card, just make sure to click yes to run the ruu.
This will get all your issues fixed and get you back to 100% and you can then install whichever rom you want from your other sd card and restore all your apps and so on.

What recovery version are you using? I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is caused by a bug in the Official TWRP 2.8.1.0. Captain_Throwback has a version I have been using that is working flawlessly. You can download it from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de.../TWRP_Recovery_2.8.1.0_M8_exFAT_test_CPTB.img
You would still need to cleanup what has been done as mentioned by M9guy, but the new recovery should prevent you from getting into that situation again.

I'm using Philz CWM recovery. I'm trying to look on the internet but can't find a link that explains how to eliminate the levels of folders that I found. I have a Nandroid, if I load this will it change the internals to go back the way they were? I'm scared I'll mess things up worse then they are.
I'd stay where I am except somehow after flashing a few roms I have acquired a bug that is driving me nuts, I can't get rid of the grey bubble that no calendars selected and I can't hit buttons/apps/letters that are below the bubble and it is persistent. It won't go away.

That's your mistake. Philz is junk and should be avoided at all costs. I have read nothing but horror stories from people who have used it.
I went back and flashed TWRP and then formatted data to cleanly wipe everything. Now I'm reloading Viper but when I get to the setup screen it still has problems identifying the internal memory. I can't use the walk through setup which includes the back up. I'm trying to reflash the rom one more time to see if things change.
Thank you everyone for your help and if anyone has anything to add please let me know.

Not sure if Wipeing from TWRP will do it or not. I think you have to install the Stock Recovery and do a factory reset from there. Then you can install TWRP. Stock Recovery does more than TWRP when wiping.
Yes, I first installed stock recovery, did the factory reset and then loaded TWRP.
I see S-off reads off in bootloader so I think I am ok with that.
Thanks everyone for your help. I think I got it. The phone commented that the internal memory card wasn't valid but other than the setup wizard everything seems to be working and I got rid of the levels and the persistent, no calendar message seems to be gone.

The problem isn't that the recoveries junk it's that it hasn't been updated in ages. Its running old device files creating issues with newer roms and the Android multiple user accounts creating 0 folders. I don't think it's fair to call it junk since it's not supported and hasn't been for quite a while . The developer has stated this. A pretty well known developer has kept the recovery up to date which should correct this issue if you still wanted to run his recovery. I won't stand behind it because I haven't run it but typically this developer is good as gold. Here's the link we all know the name.

M9guy, thank you very much for the suggestion. I was scared to do what you requested in fear of messing things up worse then they were. Right now the only problem I'm having is I can't use the setup tool which messed up trying to auto load all of my apps. I had to go through all my apps manually and bring them back. Aside from that everything seems to be working fine. The stupid bubble telling me no calendars selected is gone and the two additional levels are gone from the system. I'm now using TWRP recovery instead of Philz. Thank you much !!!!!

Your welcome, glad you got it fixed. I know it all seems like a lot, you just have to take baby steps I was the same way, but once you start doing things you will realize oh its not that difficult. You just have to read up and then read again and normally you can get your needs accomplished. There is always people willing to help as we were in your same position at one point and someone helped us the same so its good karma for us to do the same and pay it forward. We are all grasshoppers in a large field all still learning. There are always many ways to do things some may be harder but if the end result gets you fixed really that is all that matters and you learn as you go. Have fun with it and reap the benefits !!!!!!

The only lingering problem from trying to upgrade my phone to Lollipop is now my phone won't allow me to use setup wizard and when I try to load apps from the Google Play store, my phone is no longer listed as being a Verizon Wireless phone, it now looks like my Nexus 7 which reads "No Carrier" is there a trick to getting that back?
Thanks again,

Not sure but maybe somehow your cid got changed you can also change it to cid 11111111 for super cid, or I do believe factory verizon m8 should be VZW__001 to change it to that go to fastboot usb and with adb tools enter the command
fastboot oem writecid VZW__001
and hit enter and it should confirm.
You can check this out at the link below.

Hey! I found a post to another user who had a similar issue here: forum.xda-developers.com/show...=709788&page=2
I also can get into recovery, however, it's not finding any backup to use etc.
I think if I could get a recovery img pushed to my SD card and go back to stock, I could work with that. Running Zen Rom 1.7 currently. I was trying to clear up some space to install apps2sd as I was out of room and did a full wipe after I made a copy on my PC of my entire SD Card, but now when i go into my phone shell it confirms the phone but can't see system directory.
Not sure how to get stuff back on SD to work with it. Any ideas?? HELP- Phone is 100% DOWN!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

you might need to format the sd card, see if that helps
So I updated to the leaked Samsung 2.2 Froyo. I am trying to move apps to the sd card and I am getting an error. "Failed to move application. Not enough memory".
I have seen demos/reviews with this function working. I am also making sure I try it with apps that are compatible with the feature.
Anyone have a clue as to whats going on here.
Other than that, I love being a new Android user, ported over from the apple world. Captivate made my 3g look foolish.
Thanks in advance for any help guys.

When installing a program it will pop up, this is Apps2SD, do you want to move. Or you can see it in manage applications, select application > Move to SD is highlighted
You have to be careful with it because that silly media scanner will run and disable you sd functions. Example. You have a program that starts up when your phone starts you will get a FC because the media scanner is running.
Good to have you by the way.
I'm getting the same message, but it was working before.
I flashed a ROM and enabled lag fix. However, when I went back to stock, I forgot to disable the lag fix.
I'm back to the leaked 2.2, but I still can't move apps to the SD card. There is plenty of memory free.
Is there any way around this?
Thanks!

Have you tried doing a master reset to remove the the lag fix or gotten the app from the market app2sd?
I tried a master clear using Odin, but I haven't tried a master reset. How is that done?

Ok I know a dumb question but do you have enough rom on your SD card? Try the apps2sd app from the market
No worries, I know you have to ask.
My SD card has 12.83GB free.
I did try using the apps2sd, but I get the same message, that there isn't enough memory.
I would say that there is an issue with the leaked rom. I would try a custom rom and see if it happens, if it is still an issue I would copy the stuff off your card and reformat it to see if that is an issue
I actually got the message the first time I tried a custom ROM. When I went back to 2.2 the problem went away, but I hadn't tried the lag fix.
When I tried another customer ROM today, I got the message again, but this time a tried the lag fix.
I forgot to disable it when I went back to stock, then to 2.2.
I did reformat the internal SD card, didn't help. That's why I turned to the forums. I'm all out of ideas.
OMG I am stupid lol. The apps to SD is for moving the APPS to an EXTERNAL sd card not the internal sd
LOL, no worries.
I don't want to waste my time, but would it be worth a try to:
1. Flash back to stock.
2. Install Clockwork recovery
3. Install customer ROM again.
4. Enable lag fix.
5. Disable lag fix.
6. Flash back to stock.
7. Master clear
8. Install 2.2 again?

Only if you have enough room on your external sd (micro sd plugged into the phone)
I don't currently have one installed.
It must be a file system issue. Is there anyway to rebuild the stock file system? Or is that supposed to happen when I flash back to stock?
By the way, thanks for your help on this.

No prob, but here is the deal. This only works for external SD card in 2.2 2.1 didnt have this option at all. So unless you insert an external SD card it is not gonna work.
OK, now I'm the stupid one. I didn't even think of putting my SD card back in! I always take it out when I flash back to stock because the media scanner takes so long.
Anyway, I put it back in, now I can move to SD.
So, my next question is, where does it put it on that SD card? I looked, and I don't see anything other than my music.

To tell the truth I dont remember really, I have not needed to move anything to my external sd in a long time, what are you using to look at your SD card?
Root explorer. It's not really that important, it's mostly just curiosity.
So after rooting and flashing the "Clean" ROM v1.1 I had internal storage issues. First the gallery app would not work. It would give me a message "not enough memory" when trying to open it. Also I could not save any downloads, I would get a message that download failed. So, I recovered to the stock ROM provided in the guide (I have a GT-p5113). Recovering to this stock ROM fixed the above issues. However at this time I noticed that my internal storage shrank from the stock 16GB to about 2 GB total (even if i deleted everything my total internal storage would only be 2GB). So it's like my internal memory went from 16GB to 2GB for no reason. See attached screenshot. I'm not sure if that happened after installing the custom "Clean" v1.1 ROM or when I recovered back to the stock ROM. I've since flashed both the "Infected" ROM and the CM9 ROM and with those I still have the reduced storage area and the problems with the gallery app and inability to save downloads.
Anyone have any ideas what happened and how I can get my storage space back?
Same Problem here
Im having the same problem with mine Ive flashed all three of those roms and have no internal storage space left really. the Misc Files in internal storage has jumped to 8.34 GB and an available 2.18 left.
Please someone help us.
P.S. if you figured out how to fix this please post back.
Thanks!
Gallery "not enough memory"
Similar issue. Tried wiping Dalvik but still not working. Installed 3 times wiping data each time. Any ideas?
Same exacts specific problem as kdubbfive.
im not sure Dunkn.Mynes has the same problem. He is losing free space as if something is taking up room .Dunkn, check you r. clockworkmod directory isnt on your internal memory, taking up more room each time you r un a back up.
Just to underline kdubbfive's problem.
have gt-p5113 - same here
installed cleanrom 1.1 - - same here here
total internal memory shrunk from 16gb to 2gb - same here
restored and tried other roms, internal memory remains 2gb
Weird thing is i had the exact same problem putting clean rom on my phone - Motorola atrix
if i dont he of any fixes ill probably try factory restore with kies and the computer image. i only have a chinese stock image that is suppoosed to be the same as USA version. but I'm not convinced of it.
ill post if i get the nerve to try this our find another fix. if anyone has stock image for gtp5113 p please post. good luck.
Thanks for the Info - Hope to find Solution
Glad to hear someone else is having the exact same issue. I've been going crazy trying to find a solution. Please post if you are successful. I'll do the same.

HERE's what worked for me (kind of a complete wipe)
I'm a novice, first time writing instructions, and 2nd time ever posting so let me know if I missed something, and I'll try to get back to you on it.
Make backups as best you can (CWM recovery, Titanium, nandroid)
ALL DATA WILL BE LOST. Haven't tried recovery of data yet. That's the concept behind all the backups above.
Not sure all was neccessary, or what step was key so here is all of it:
Install Kies http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
Connect tablet and follow any Samsung Instructions exactly
What is says there is updated ROM available, allow it to to install.
On reboot your system will not be rooted, and data will be there (only for the moment), on mine internal storage was still 2GB
Do a factory reset, wipe any cache and all that. Maybe repeat for good luck.
Follow the rooting instructions exactly here including re-downloading files and following all precautions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056
(I noticed the cwm file has a PIT file in it which relates to internal memory partitioning. I suspect this may have been key here.)
Follow instructions all the way to the end.
In the end I had 12GB internal which is normal because I think there are 2 2GB hidden partions there for ROM and maybe swap file, I don't know)
I'm going to make a backup now, then go back to see what I can recover. On second thought, maybe I'll just start fresh. Also, I think I'm done with custom roms. I can deal with the junk Samsung programs for the sake of dependability.
Good luck. I'll check back to see if you have questions.
Thank You!!!
Worked like a charm! Thanks, a million!

So I have had CM10 on my phone for probably 8 months now (almost since I got the phone) and have had no issues with the ROM whatsoever.
I got a notification about an updated version of CM10 today and went ahead and downloaded and installed it, but when I finished the update, I had no personal data left on the phone, could not set up accounts to recover the data, could not (and still can't) recover backups through ROM Manager, and cannot recover backups through CWM. I get an error message which I can't remember at the moment and leads to a bricked phone upon reboot until I do a fresh install of CM10.0.
I read after I started having the issues that I wasn't supposed to directly upgrade from the CM Updater with an S3, but it was already too late. Supposedly the issue is something along the lines of an emulated version of my phone's internal storage? If that makes sense. So whenever it's pulling a piece of information it's looking in the spot it should be in, but on a non-physically-existent SD card, essentially. That's what I gathered anyways.
I have a 32gb external SD Card that is also in use with my S3. I have tried moving my ROM Backups to there and recovering from the External SD Card, but the same error message occurred, although ROM Manager was at least able to find the backups after they were moved (I also had to change the setting and request that it prefer to look through an external SD Card).
So I have a usable ROM as far as the software itself, but I no longer can use any accounts or information that is stored with them or any of the same widgets (not a game-breaker) as I was able to previously. Is there a way to fix this? I've never just been completely stuck before >.<

So I have had CM10 on my phone for probably 8 months now (almost since I got the phone) and have had no issues with the ROM whatsoever.
I got a notification about an updated version of CM10 today and went ahead and downloaded and installed it, but when I finished the update, I had no personal data left on the phone, could not set up accounts to recover the data, could not (and still can't) recover backups through ROM Manager, and cannot recover backups through CWM. I get an error message which I can't remember at the moment and leads to a bricked phone upon reboot until I do a fresh install of CM10.0.
I read after I started having the issues that I wasn't supposed to directly upgrade from the CM Updater with an S3, but it was already too late. Supposedly the issue is something along the lines of an emulated version of my phone's internal storage? If that makes sense. So whenever it's pulling a piece of information it's looking in the spot it should be in, but on a non-physically-existent SD card, essentially. That's what I gathered anyways.
I have a 32gb external SD Card that is also in use with my S3. I have tried moving my ROM Backups to there and recovering from the External SD Card, but the same error message occurred, although ROM Manager was at least able to find the backups after they were moved (I also had to change the setting and request that it prefer to look through an external SD Card).

Just to be clear, you're saying to try and flash CM10.0 and then do not update when prompted from the notification? The other part was clear enough lol.
Edit: Tried the above and did not fix the problem, but I didn't use fastboot specifically because I have a Samsung phone.
The error I'm getting is "unable to mount /system" when I try and restore a backup.
Bump. Still haven't figured this out.
Problem solved.
Re-flashed CM10.1; doing full data, cache, and dalvik wipes before and after the flash; and the problem was corrected.
Hi,
I have updated (RUU) my HTC Desire S phone to ICS. It showed that it's updated successfully but I can't see the previously installed apps now. I have linked my earlier gmail account with play store also, still no success
Please let me what can I do?
Thanks,
Kunal

Well...install them again....
when you flash RUU, it basically wipes device`s
ROM memory to the bone- thoroughly,
all data is lost....
For the future plans,
it is a good habit to read something about the process
before you begim....
good luck....:good:
apps were in SD card

Thanks. I understand that. I meant the apps that were installed in my SD card. I have read before starting the process that the data in the card remains intact. So I'm expecting to see the apps installed in the card. Do those also get wiped off?

The data for the apps are still on the sd, however the app itself was wiped with the installation of the ruu because it's stored in the /data partition of the phone

there is two options then:
1. you`ve installed them to <ext> partition,
which stock rom doesn`t support,
that is why you cannot see it...
2. they were put on to sdcard in a normal-stock
kind of way,which means:
an app stores only its parts and/or its data on an sdcard,...
While flashing RUU, the part of the app remaining on internal
(phone`s memory) has been wiped with all else,
so, an app has lost its integrity,
in such a state is no longer usable or recognised...
if the second case is what you`ve done,
then- i do not promise anything, but...
you may try to install the apps again,
and see whether they`ll find and recognise their belongings
remaining on an sdcard...
...never have done it, but it wouldn`t harm anything if you try...
Edit: as @jugg1es sugests,
even if there is something,
left behind, it just is a bunch of random files,
that system does not realy care about
