When I updated to 4.2.1 thru OTA, I have a problem finding where my game's .obb files go!?? it used to be saved in sdcard/Android/obb before 4.2 update. I searched emulated/0/Android/obb but they are not there too!!!
No one to answer me
Try /storage/emulated/legacy/Android. If you activated multi-user, there may be a '0' in the path, but I don't know for sure because I never set up multi-user.

Need some help here:
I need to delete some of the backups I made with CWM recovery. I already have them backed up onto my PC, but need to delete them to make some room. For some reason I cant.
Ive tried root explorer, es file explorer, and my PC. Im unable to change the permissions of the files, and if you look at the pics I attached youll see they have some strange permissions, but I cant change them.
I am able to move the files anywhere else in the sd card folder, rename them, but no matter what I cant delete them. And when I try from my PC it shows them disappear, but they are actually still there.
If there is a way to format the sd card folder I will, but thats not an option in the settings, or CWM. Can someone please help me out here? This is really frustrating me. Thanks
No issues here when I delete backups using ROM Toolbox.

Same, tried with multiple apps too.
I posted this in the other thread, but figured I would do so here in case other people needed the "fix".
Ok, so some good news and some bad news.
The good news is, I was able to put together a flashable zip that WILL DELETE the entire CWM backup directory from the sdcard. It is available here:
http://core.routed.com/CWM_Backup_Wipe.zip
You simply need to flash it via CWM. Easy peasy. I confirmed that the directory/files were all removed, AND the storage space is now available for other files (I checked df before and after).
The bad news is, before attempting to delete the directory, I first tried changing the permissions (recursively) to see if that was a better "fix" for this problem. Unfortunately, even with the directory 777 and the files 666, I still could not manually delete them through the system. Which means, whatever bug is causing this problem is much more severe than a file/directory permission thing.
In any case, until the CWM developer can figure out a way to fix this bug, at least we have a way to manually remove the backups and get our storage space back.
The script in the zip is very simple. It just does a recursive delete on /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup.
Enjoy!

Just saying thanks for this, I hope they figure a fix out soon. Flash worked perfectly, for some storage space back. :good:
Hey guys, anyone know why or is having the same problem, I've flashed lots of roms but this time a folder named "0" was created and moved all of the folders and files from the root drive into that "0' folder. Then I flashed another rom and another "0" folder was created within that first folder and moved all the root folder and files into that one. Im using twrp and Im not doing anything different and its driving me nuts cuz everythings being tossed around in there and I dont know why!
It is happening to me too when I flash ParanoidAndroid on my N7 (although that has been the only rom that I have flashed on it thus far). But what I have been able to gather from reading around is that those sub folders is because of being able to add accounts now to Android. Although I haven't figured out why (or found a response as to why) it is moving them into a legacy folder (I think that is one of the folders is called that the info has been thrown into) and not been kept into the root folder or a way to fix it.
The 0 directory comes with the multiuser function of Android 4.2

You need to update your recovery. The latest version of TWRP works with the multiuser feature.
Sent from my Nexus 7 w/ PA and m-kernel
Hi there, sorry if this has been covered but I couldn't find too much about the problem. I am also new with this for the most part.
The other day I restored my N7 from PA back to stock to rule out a YouTube buffering problem (and turns out that didn't work, still same issue regardless). I decided to go back to PA 2.54 and while everything works, I can't save images from chrome into the downloads folder nor can I delete folders.
Do I have to reroot again? Assuming yes but if there are additional processes I have to go through please let me know.
Also, is there any fix available for my youtube problem? Thanks in advance.
Okay, so I rerooted and I was able to save the image I wanted finally. However, I still cannot delete files, specifically in the sdcard/ folder. There is a folder called "downloadttt" (I renamed it this purposely for testing purposes). There is one file in there (PA 2.54.zip) and it refuses to delete, same as the "downloadttt" folder.
Hello
I have received my 4.2.2 update notification, and without prompting me it has downloaded ota to my phone. I don't want to install the update yet frankly til I'm happy with all the kernel swapping etc I'll have to do.
So I want the notification and update file removed form my phone if possible. Does anyone know how to remove it?! Seen a lot of talk of cache/ etc. but not sure if they mean a folder location for the download or not. I have wiped my cache in recovery, but don't want to click on the update incase it does still find the file.
Anyone know what I can do?
Delete the zip file with root explorer

I can't seem to find the file, that's whats annoying me at the minute ha ha.
I'm with T-Mobile if that helps or changes anything, running 4.2.2. Now, I've gotten my phone to stop bugging me to install the OTA update. But the problem is the OTA update is still downloading in the background, it's just that I'm not being bugged by my phone to update it (i.e. there's no icon showing up in the notification bar). It becomes a sort of "silent update." So why is this a problem for me?
Because I'm on T-Mobile's cheapest plan which is the 500mb data plan. Each time the OTA downloads it eats up 155mb. And twice already this billing cycle it's done it, so that's 310mb of data wasted.
There are posts saying to use Titanium Backup Pro and freezing an app called Software Update MUC, and another post referring to the file as Software Update 2.3.0.5, but on my phone (using TB Pro) there's no file starting with "Software" anything.
So how do I stop my phone from downloading the OTA all together? Please help. Thanks.
Just install the update, that will make it stop for good

Sorry, forgot to mention doing that won't work. For some reason my phone doesn't properly install OTA updates. I don't mind being stuck on 4.2.2. I just want the OTA downloads to stop in the first place.
Give this a try...
If rooted, use a file manager like Root Explorer, go to System/Etc/Security, (mount R/W) and rename otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak
Reboot phone.

I've done that already. I renamed the file to otacerts.zip.back (instead of .bak). I assume that doesn't make any difference. I believe renaming the file is what is causing my phone to not show the OTA icon in the notification bar. But as I said, the issue for me is that my phone is still downloading the update itself.
Any other ideas?

I don't have that file in my system/app folder. What's wrong with my phone?????
On my phone, the file listed that comes before where lgfota.apk/odex should appear is LGEIME_THEME_BLACK.odex, and the file after that file is LGGallery.apk.

you can check in the system/priv-app; that's very odd for it not to be in system/app are you on stock rom/have you removed any bloat

I don't have a system/priv-app folder, either. I'm on stock rom, but I removed as much bloat as I can, including certain apps I find no use for (e.g. double-tap, voice command, etc). Maybe this will help: I used Root Explorer's search feature and searched for "fota", and here's what I think are the most "relevant" results:
/lgdms.fota.rc
/lgdms.fota_update.rc
/etc/fota
/etc/permissions/com.lge.fota.xml
/system/framework/com.lge.fota.jar
/system/framework/com.lge.fota.odex
Does this help? Anyone?

Did you got any solution ?
I also got the same issue. Sprint here. I have renamed all files like otacerts.zip & lgfota.apk/odex, still it downloads the damn update.
