[Q] CM hides my old "stock" partition. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I recently installed first CM 10.1 then PACman rom on my i9300. Before that I used roms based on the stock samsung roms (Darky, Chaos, Wannam, etc). As soon as I flashed CM all my files dissapeared from my intrnal SD card, at first I thought that it had been formatted not knowing that CM installed itself on /sdcard/0. Last night when I went on and installed the PACman rom I noticed that from CM, when I navigated the sdcard to install the .zip the files I was browsing through were my old files and realized what had happrned. Now my question is how can I browse these files so that I can delete them and free up all that space? I tried using different root explorers both on my phone and on the PC but I just can't get to my "old" files. Any suggestion? Thanks.

do you have old files in your phone or they are gone??
secard/0 directory is accessible from PC and from root explorer too.

So, the default directory I see when starting the file explorer from the phone and the pc is /sdcard which has the "new" files and no subfolder named 0. I tried going to /storage/sdcard0 and /storage/emulated/0 but it takes me to the same folder. The strange thing is that when in cwm recovery I go to "install update from sdcard" I see the "old" folder and have to go to ./0 to get to the files I can access from the phone and pc.

That's the way Android 4.2.x works not specific to CM, but yeah your advise holds Search thoroughly before asking questions.

Your old internal sd data that you were using with Android 4.1.2 is now in /data/media when you are using any Android 4.2.x based ROM

Thank you vary much! Found it! Sorry for reopening this topic, I did not know what to look for

have you tried to locate the source via setting > storage (don't know exactly how it's called in english, but in epsilon rom there a sd card symbol under settings )
there the storage usage is devided to some parts you can seperate from each other. maybe this way you're able to enclose the the storage hungry area?
PS: have you installed some 3D games? maybe some uninstalled game data is still existing?

Yes i have checked that in the settings and thats the funny part it says there is still 2 gb on the internal (which there should be more then that) but when i plug into my Mac and look at the drive properties it says drive is full. I have like one or two games and they are not 3d. Is there a way i can just start fresh. Im used to Samsung devices where i can just use Odin to go back to stock. My memory is so low my phone wont even let me update currentlt installed apps. Im at my wits end lol

it pops up a thing before it boots? if so then then safetrap is installed and it is probably from backups. you can go to your ext-sd and find safestrap, then go to backups and delete the backups that are there if there are backups

after you find that folder and delete the backups that are there if there are any, Id recommend fastbooting back to stock .211 and then doing everything you want to do from there so you have a brand new fresh phone.

There is no safestrap folder on the internal sd card. Actually when i browse the card there really isnt much to be seen in there. This is what is pissing me off because i have checked every single folder and sub folders and the biggest file i can see is like a couple of mb. I mean i cant even take a screenshot because there no room left.

hmmm. when you go to settings/storage what is taking up the space? apps, pictures/videos, audio, or downloads
Its shows 80 mb of pics and videos and 18mb of apps and thats all. The bar graph shows there is a lot of memory left.
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Well it may be a software problem or something I'm not sure. The only thing I can think to do is format your internal storage and fastboot back to stock. 211. I've never heard of a memory problem like that

Thank u sir. I guess i shouldve stated that. Yes i have GSM. What i really want to do is start fresh and learn what restrictions apply to this phone based on the locked bootloader. My ideal scenario would be going back to complete stock Motorola ICS, gain root, flash a recovery and finally flash my desired rom. I dont know the correct stock firmware i am able to flash via rsdlite (i think thats the program i read about) to return to stock.

Since you're running Epsilon you only can Flash an ICS Rom. You need to find the right one for your Region!
After that you can Root with Eternity Projekt Root or by using the DroidRazrRoot404 Root. Both you' ll find in the Development Section.

Why can't I receive official updates?

Hi, as the title, I just have got root permits and I have got by Clockwork Manager that says "this version should be used with CF-CWM v.1.1 or newer. It appears if you running a different recovery. Some features has been disabled"
When I have tried to upgrade my system I have got the message that the device has been modified and there aren't updates available!
What is mean? Why have I got the message?
Which anomalies could I have?
On my phone I have installed the last official Rom JB.
Thank you for your attention!

Manually download the right updated version and flash it with odin. Good luck. You could also try unrooting and having your counter reset using triangle away.

And then why can't I upgrade my phone with officials updates?
I followed a guide and unfortunately I can't post the url address of the site with the guide...because I have sent few posts (I'm young user here..) on this forum.
This guide explained step by step all what to root the phone and said to download a file package with Odin and cf-root files.
Can you tell me, step by step, what I need to solve my problem?
Anyway I remember that I just set the phone in download mode and I plugged the micro usb cable with Odin loaded on pc; then I selected the cf-root file version 6.1.

9 Cool Themes!!

Here are some themes I have acquired over the past week or so since getting my Lg p-769 I figured I would share. These are some pretty cool ones (IMO). Let me know what you think! My personal favorites would have to be miui or prada! I did not create any of these themes just passing them on. Now as far as I know you MUST be rooted to use these themes. You must also have es file explorer or similar program with copy/cut capabilities. Now what you need to do is download the files. BEFORE installing you must enter your file explorer program. Find where you downloaded these files and copy or cut them. Now go to /device with the file explorer. Find the folder called "system". Once you find this folder open it and look for another file call "app". You must find the folder called "app" do not confuse it with the folder called "apps". Now open the folder "app". Upon opening the folder paste the downloaded files in this folder. Now click on each one and install. That is all there is to it! Now under settings/themes they will be there! Be advised just downloading and installing will not work! You must follow the above method or it will not work! Make sure you grant your file program Superuser access or you will receive a error when trying to paste to the "app" folder. Enjoy! :good:

Followed steps to no success.I kept getting error msg "permissions denied". Lookout said it was a malicious file and prompted me to delete.so I continued this process 5-10 times with no luck.So by chance I just installed without copy paste to system app's and now Worked flawlessly. I only had to download and install.

I don't think you can use the official Dorimanx kernel with Omni just as yet because it has not yet been made compatible with KK roms.
What version you are trying to use?

You need dorimanx version 10, which has not been released officially (like said by the person above). This 10 version is aviable in the beta thread. Search for it, only if you now what you are doing.

External storage has some issues: it's impossible to copy great amount of files ( 600+ ) with total size of 1.4GB+.
I've tried copy from external sdcard to pc over both, mtp and usb protocols. The operation always gets stuck after a couple of files. The same behavior detected when trying to copy files locally, when using file manager. I've tried to copy from external sdcard to internal - useless. Fails after a couple of files.

Maybe it's about the amount of files, and not the size. I was also able to copy 2 relatively big files under the same "problematic" rom. Try like 60-100 files with total size of 500+ MB, and I think you'll see it.
