Yes it is inaccessible from local storage to access it you need root. If you have any file manager eg Ex file explorer locate to root then data/media/0/twrp now it will be accessible and you will be able to see all your stuffs i.e backups, etc. Hope it helped you out.

Happy to know that it helped you ?
You can use a USB stick with OTG and make a backup directly from TWRP (last variant), so you can easy move your backup where you want.

I'm trying to install cyanogenmod on my G Tablet, but I can't figure out how to get files onto the root of the drive, specifically the update.zip and recovery folder.
I've successfully rooted it using z4root, thinking that would give me root access to the files - but not so...
So, I'm at an impasse. I can't move files from the sdcard folder, nor the sdcard2 folder into the root folder.
How can I get the needed files there?
Thanks!
they need to be in sdcard not root. at least it is where mine go
edit not sure with cyanogen. you may need a different file manager to place them in the root directory
try using ghost commander, it lets me move files around. otherwise plug it into a pc and move the files that way?

Ghost Commander is giving me the error, "File not accessible" when trying to copy it from sdcard to / (I assume this is the same as the linux filesystem?)
Edit: I've gotten it to give me root access, I'm just having trouble getting files to transfer now. It tells me that things transfer, but I'm not seeing them in the file system. I'll keep messing with it though.

You only need to put the update zip file on the main directory ( /sdcard ) not the root directory which is just ( / )
Then flash the update zip via recovery mode.
Be sure to wipe data and cache first if you are flashing over another rom, which it sounds like you are.

I just figured that out And this is my very first flash, so I'm entirely inexperienced with this.
I've just done the update.zip portion, now I'm moving onto the next step as detailed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
I was originally just going to flash with ROM Manager, but it force closes when I open it now, so I'll just follow this guide.

Good Deal, welcome to the MOD world!
Dear All,
First thankyou so much for the great forum we have here, I am using Huawei Ideos u8150, the fone is network locked so I played around, being a total noob I started with installing sdk, and rooted my fone using z4root, rooting was successful
No when I try to copy a modified build.prop to the systems folder in root explorer, the file is copies but is not visible, also I have deleted the original build.prop & I am afraid to reboot the fone,
can restoring the fone to factory settings solve this ? also how come I copy the file to system folder, it gets copied and I still cant see it ?
I have tried pushing the file using ADB command line but the device refuses to mount (persmission denied)
I would really be thankful to anyone who can guide a noob like me, if you dont this forum has enough reasons to love it already,
cheers !

Moderators if by any chance I have placed this query in the wrong part of forum, please let me know in which part I should raise it, thanks !
In the top right hand corner or left it should be a r/o button. If you push that to r/w which is read/write you will be able to copy the bp correctly. Don't forget to mount as r/o which is read only before you exit RE. Then reboot. If you made a backup which you should have done before modding the bp you will be ok to reboot. If anything goes wrong just do a restore. Also you can Redownload the current rom your on to your cpu. Then extract it to a folder on your desktop. Then browse threw all the folders untill you see the stock build prop. Copy&paste it to your sd and that's your stock build prop. Hope this helps. Good luck

thanks for the kind help, I have tried doing that, I have rooted it, the I click on the r/o button and then I did copy the new built.prop to systems folder, the copying process completes, doesnt report any error but still there is no file visible by the name of built.prop, I just cant find it, is it hidden ? or is it not being copied in the first place ? & thanks I would try to extract the stock built.prop, and copy it to the folder but I will do it as a last option till I dont find something else,
thanks a million for the help, would apprciate if you can point it what I am doing wrong
Make sure you make a backup of your stock ROM before flashing any custom ROMs.
Copy the WLAN folder from system/etc/ in your nandroid backup.
With your new custom ROM downloaded you want to open the zip file and navigate to system/etc/firmware place WLAN folder from your backup in here, then flash,
Congrats working WIFI !.
Sounds great, BUT.....

Not sure if the WIFI drivers are the same on the T and L but I've attached the WLAN folder with this post, otherwise just download stock ROM for your device from sammobile.
I will give it a try

You will need:
1. Phone must be rooted (should be anyway with custom ROM)
2. download the folder I put in this post an put it on you SD card
3. have a "root explorer" installed (I used "X-plore File Manager", free on play store)
With the file explorer copy the "Wifi" folder to the "Root/System/etc"
It will ask if you want to overwrite the existing files. (accept)
For me not all the files copied over, but the files that did copy were enough.
Restart your phone.
Wifi works (for me at least this solved the problem).

Hey guys. I´m on the need of some help. I recently unlocked my bootloader / flashed recovery and rooted my Moto G xt1032 8GB. I was looking forward to flash a shiny brand new rom and as a decent person I did a nandroid backup first. The result: I have only 800MB free on my MotoG.
I managed to copy the backup to my PC using ADB:
Code:
adb pull /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup C:/
but the backup is still on my phone weighting 2.5 GB. I tried ES explorer and an app similar to Root Explorer and I can´t find the goddamn backup folder to delete it. The mnt/shell folder is shown empty.
Please, could someone give me a hand to get rid of my backup?
I think it´s not going away when I do a full wipe-factory reset, right?
Thanks a lot!
/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup
You can also delete it through the recovery
Well it was a pain for me to find the nandroid backup with an old version of cwm...It is located in
Device/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod

This guide is for helping people that want to install Google play store at fuhu Nabi Jr Edition SNBJR-MT5C-US that have some expert skills. It is not an automated procedure yet.
This edition is equipped with an MTK processor and is not recognized by Nabilab tools so this procedure has to be entirely manual executed.

So after following this procedure, is the play store supposed to just show up in the list of apps? No installation or anything?
Works!
Thank you very much. I have the SNBJR-MT5C 8GB version, which I brought from Aliexpress.
A number of things dont work as I am not located in the USA so could not enter billing information, so many of the built in apps dont work at all.
Device Rooted.
Installed the files, and Google Play works! It asked me to create/use a google account, all looking good so far!!
Thank you!
Only thing left is to figure out how to remove/hide some of the built in apps in Nabi mode which are not appropraite for my kid, or are too advanced etc, or dont work due to billing issue.

Well, to do this uninstall you may use some apps available on playstore like 'es file manager' or 'titanium backup'; the ones I use most for this task.
The problem is that I do not have much luck on restoring deleted apps afterwards on this device.
You should try to disable the app on Android Apps settings before attempt to delete them.

Hi,
I just picked up two of the 8 gig models for my boys. I want to get the google app store going on both so i can get the nick jr app on there. I would love to flash the nabi jr nickelodeon edition on here if possible, not sure if it is. I'd like to follow this guide. Any problems if i follow this guide and then do a system update via nabi update, or should i disable that?
I'd be willing to provide any stock files if that would help make a recovery? Should I do twrp to make a backup for myself anyways?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Kutas

This procedure will not install TWRP, just play store.
It will not allow to flash another nabi rom.
By the way, since it is a different processor, they are not compatible.
We would need to port TWRP to this device and compile an specific kernel for this device...
This made my kid very happy.

I know this is an old thread with nobody paying attention to it anymore but I just revisited this topic to try again. Followed instructions (I'm pretty sure correctly). Good new is I do have play store in the list of apps but when I try to login to my Google account it just immediately gives the message "there was a problem communicating with Google servers" or something like that. Any idea what the problem might be.
