So I just flashed an update of Resurrection Remix rom from 1.9.1 to 2.4, at first it was working fine, then, I noticed that the usual internal memory card files were in /emmc, which was typical for AOKP roms, so I went and looked for the solution, and then, theres this post about a workaround, right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568 and so, it said to install directory bind and all that stuff.
Well because I'm stupid, I rushed and ticked the 'transfer files from target to data' which was not the thing to do. So all my internal files from /emmc went into external_sd.
So to sum it up, the files originally from my /external_sd/ went into /sdcard and the files from /sdcard went into /external_sd/.
I actually restored from the backup and thank goodness it was back to normal, BUT! I really liked that update but whenever I reflash that update back, for some reason the problem returns.
If anyone can help me, I'll be deeply in gratitude
Try playing with settings>storage>(menu button on the left of the home button)>storage configuration.

Uh but im upgraded from 1.9.1 to 2.4 and I do not wish to wipe everything but the extended steps says I have to wipe....
Is it possible if I do not do the full wipe and just wipe the caches and fix permissions instead? Will that help?

You could try but i doubt that. Just to make sure make a nandroid backup first. Do a factory reset and flash the rom you wanted and see if it fixes it. Anyway, you could just restore your backup if something goes wrong like you did before.

Hey there guys I came across this useful tool today when I was poking around the ARC section it lets you make a nandroid without having to boot into recovery. This isnt my work Im simply passing it on so I hope he doesnt care too much about me posting this here.
***ALL crdeit goes to ameer1234567890***
Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. This tool is specifically for Xperia phones, but should work with any model of android phones.
This tool backups /system , /data , /cache & .android_secure partiotions to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory. The date format used for folder name is the same used by CWM itself and nandroid backups created with this tool can safely be restored using CWM. If you would want to have a custom name for backup folder, pass an argument with the name to the script and it will use the name.
Feedback (especially ideas to improve) are most welcome.
Requirements
1. Rooted android phone
2. A terminal emulator installed on phone
3. Busybox
4. A working CWM based recovery installed
5. Some patience
Installation
1. Download and copy zip file to SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash .
4. Reboot!
Usage
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type su to obtain root
3. Type onandroid
4. Wait and watch

When I tried to run this, it says "Checking for required tools" followed by "mkyaffs2image not found in path"
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling busybox and installing it to /system/bin and not xbin. This time it sort of ran but I got a bunch of errors and no backup.
Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
Isn't this inherently flawed since files on the rom are still being used and written while the backup is taking place? Neat idea though, don't get me wrong

Fair enough. Hopefully people follow the advice of not doing anything during the backup, so they aren't disappointed when the changes don't get backed up
Should be fine I've taken a call and sent a few text messages while backing up. No problems for me at all

I tried to do a restore from the online nandroid backup I made and even though it said "restore complete" my SD-ext(4) partition would not load its shortcuts and widgets. The funny part is link2sd didn't even detect any SD-ext as if it wasn't backed up. I thought it said that it backed up SD-ext during online backup, but not sure. I'm wondering if it might help to factory restore before restoring backup. I may try that to see and I'll report back if noone reports similar problem.
Edit**During backup I was not doing anything else with phone other then watching the amazing online backup screen. Also I tried to "re-create mount scripts" but never got option from link2sd even after reboot.

This tool (prior to v3) does not backup sd-ext partition. In the first post, you can see what the tool backups.
PS: If you can send me a previous backup of your sd-ext, I can work on adding sd-ext backup support to the script.
I still can't get this to work.

wow.. that would be great backing up online... i'm gonna try now..
So I wanted to change my keyboard... In fact I *did* change my keyboard.
At first whenever I wanted to use the keyboard (for notepad for example) it would say something like "Unable to reach" but after a while the keyboard just started working.
Then I switched on wifi and everything started crashing with the usual "Unfortunately (insert every task) has stopped working".
I know I can probably solve this by doing a factory wipe... but I also know that there MUST be a better way to solve this problem.
I have adb installed. I have Siyah kernel.
I can access the whole damned phone from my laptop in or out of recovery mode. I just don't know where to look to fix the problem.
A possible clue:
I tried flashing Keyboard-Blau.zip when my keyboard wasn't working. But CWM aborted the flash with an unknown error.
This is very similar to what happened the last time I had this problem. The only thing in the zip anyway was AXT9IME.apk in the system/app folder.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
P.S. I have also wiped cache and davlak cache AND attempted to install a rom. All permissions in system/app seem fine.
Could it be that system is mounted as r/w somehow?
EDIT2: Just now when I tried to to wipe dalvik (sp) cache it said something about:
"Unknown volume for path sd-ext"
Just a note.
Also I have erased /system then installed the rom again and it's still acting up.

Hmm.. The only thing I can think of is wiping cache, dalvik one more time EDIT: and try to fix permissions from cwmr. If that doesn't work I would make a nandroid backup and flash your rom with a full wipe again to see if that fixes it. At least you can restore the backup if it doesn't

Yeah I know a full wipe will fix it. I've already done that and screwed it up again a few more times for testing purposes.
My point is that there SHOULD be a way to fix it without a full wipe.
I mean if you've got root access, CWM recovery, AND you can actually boot the phone and access adb at the home screen... Then it should be possible to fix the problem.
It's a shame android dosnt return an error telling you WHY something is crashing. Then it would be a cinch.

...from post #2. Then I tried the zip in post 3 and four. (If you'd like to replicate the error just backup your /data then you can do whatever the hell you want and just restore /data and you'll have everything.) Then I tried flashing the zip from post 3 or 4... which didn't work. Followed the directions for changing permissions on the keyboard.
I hadn't realized you could backup everything from CWM Recovery. And hadn't even considered that just restoring /data would work without screwing everything up again... but work it did! Wish I had realized that a couple of weeks ago... but I didn't really want that data anyway.
Basically I just want the touchwiz keyboard because the standard android one is too small for my hands.
But I can't quite figure out how changing two files... and even changing them back later... could crash the whole damned OS beyond repair.

It absolutely was. But what did it do and how could I fix it?
I first noticed that when I went to take pictures that a toast message would popup that said something along the lines of "Unable to save file to sdcard due to insufficient file privaleges". Originally I thought it was the Rom at fault which I will leave nameless beings that its occoring with every Rom I've flashed since as well. But only after switching between the 3 Roma I had saved on my sdcard prior to this incident, I tried to download a newer Rom to see if it was a bug that had been fixed but couldn't download anything to my sdcard. The only time I can download is through the market or via adb push so I know the internal storage isn't broken, but not recieving the correct permissions.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a fix because I don't want to bring the phone back "re-locked" and ask for a replacement. But I also do not want to buy a new phone or go through asurion. Thanks in advance and happy hollidays!

Backup everything from your storage. Go into recovery and format /sdcard. I had the same thing happen. Worked fine after the format and restoring the files.
I'm getting ready to head home so ill do it when I get there. Should I format it in cwmr recovery or through settings just so I make sure I do it the way you did it. Less room for error lol. And thanks a lot I'm really hoping that it helps! I miss having the camera mostly for taking pictures of my 14 month old Son Hambo!

How did you full wipe? Full wipe from non-stock recovery DOES NOT clear your SDcard.
Well screenshot abit later but ATM its like I've done hard reset from stock recovery least 4 times and its every time like that storage .Currently idk why its like that.When I enter the folders I don't find any content of any sort cause I've wiped every think clean .But still I'm left with 4.6gb storage and I have these 2 folders I typed only soooo its bumnmer
Here you go
Please im deeply confused and ima ****in cry.When i went to flash some other rom to see if this folders get fixed i noticed that my old stuff from 4.1.2 aint actually deleted but are somewhere deeply buried.In CWM i see the path to them but when download some root explorer i just cant find them

Besides that, the phone has just been restarting itself and it's happening more and more. And lately, it's wicked slow with just about everything I try to do... its just super glitchy. So I thought that maybe starting from scratch would be the best way to make things right, and then re-root...
But doing this caused many questions while reading through the forum and I'm hoping that someone can help point me in the right direction...
I guess the most important questions are:
Do I wipe the phone and do a clean install, going back to stock first?
If so, because I have followed the instructions in the link above, what are the exact steps so that I don't brick it?
Should I just buy a new phone?
If I did a clean install and then re-root will it run better than it is now?
I have many more questions but I think answering these first will help out a lot...
Thanks to whoever can help me out...

Edit: I installed the new Dodol Launcher and miraculously my WiFi is working again! So I uninstalled the Nova Launcher... I am happy that I can toggle my wifi settings once again =) But I read something extremely upsetting about 2mins ago in regards to the people with unlimited data which I have, and that is, we cannot use third party apps to tether the hotspot if we did the 4.3 update!!!??? Does anyone know if this is true? I thought that I couldn't tether because my phone is somehow screwed up, not because they blocked me from using it...

I would Odin back to stock.. Just make sure you don't Odin to mj9..BC then you will be locked.. So Odin back to ramc3 and then run casual and reunlock.. Sometimes a clean slate helps.. But it maybe the phone for whatever reason..
Never experienced any issues like that

Thanks lacoursiere18!
After I get back to ramc3 and reunlock do you know how can I stop the OTA from popping up and trying to get me to install it? I want to be able to tether a mobile hotspot, so I need to stay on this one (because of the unlimited data), I think...?
On another note (no pun intended), I was starting the backup process and noticed that the phone has 10.3GB of internal storage, but when I add up all the folders it only amounts to 2.24GB! Does that mean that the OS is taking up 8GB!??? It just seems like a bit much and I can't see anything, there were no hidden folders or system files that I could find either... weird...
To stop the nag on the update use titanium backup to freeze SDM 1.0

Try backing up your data and then reformat it through your phone settings. If that doesn't work you might want to reflash the ROM. Or go into the settings and remount it that way. But if it worked fine before you flashed the ROM I would reflash....

Ok. When I flash does it matter if I leave my sd card and simple in the phone? (The last time I took everything out)

It should matter because the default location flashes to the Internal storage location...

I had no luck with the memory card back up because I had to format my sd card as expat for version 22. Do you know of any way I could email the developer of my Rom to see if there is a fix or update on the way to fix this. It says I have to wait to have 10 posts.

It has to be the something to do with the format of the memory card and the ROM. My twrp recovery reads that all of my stuff is still there. It's just the version of the ROM that doesn't. Any ideas?
