Rescan your SDcard. Either reboot your phone, or download rescanSD app from the play store.

1. Copy them (not the parent folder) to another file or off device
2. Reboot
3. Copy back to device original folder
4. Reboot

If someone hasn't already done this; can someone please make an app that lets you download strait to the sdcard. I only have access to a computer at home. It would be nice to download the newest ROMs from my phone and skip the computer all together.

Depending on the file, my phone downloads directly to /sdcard/download/
mine to but I want to be able to download a rom directly to the root of the sdcard. If its in a folder it won't work.

ive had roms in folders before, worked for me
Download Astro file manager go into downloads.. Long press and hold on the ROM and copy it.. hit the bottom on the top which will take it to the root of the SD card and there you go!

Usually you download the file directly from the webpage using a Browser, like Dolphin...

You can also utilize a terminal application and utilize the command "mv" to move from /sdcard/downloads/ to /sdcard/. Also, you should be able to install from a folder as long as you mount the system and select install zip from sdcard.
Anyone knows where can the backup folder be? I searched on CWM folder but it's not there. I'm trying to move the backup files to my computer.

I had cwm made many backups and just changed to twrp but my internal storage is all filled up and I cannot field the previous backups to delete... Any help?
I am having this same problem too and am searching for solution... I have asked all over the forum and also googled but to no avail. Help please....
Need to search harder...

But my /data folder is empty. I use root explorer and couldn't find anything in /data folder. Was previously looking for WPA_supplicant for my ap list also....
I am currently using root explorer and es explorer v3. ES explorer v3 doesn't have the root settings. I'll download the stable version from play store and try.
Update : I've got it working. This means only es explorer can see CWM backup and wpa_supplicant

Yes it does as I'm using it! Seriously, follow EVERY instruction on my post and look at the pictures
I did some testing on my own. Root explorer works too. Just need to toggle r/w from root location. Data folder populated after that. As for the latest es explorer v3, toggling root explorer will enable data folder contents to be viewed.

Which recovery did you make the backup with? CWM and TWRP save them in different spots.

With Solid Explorer? Try a different file manager. You could always just upload the backup to the cloud and download it on your PC lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
how lol?
btw i have to copy all the clockwork folder or just the folder inside the backup folder?
i guess i need also the blob folder with all that files in it..

Just the backup folder. If you open up the blobs folder inside there will be many more EMPTY folders (at least for me).

If restoring it on your other Nexus worked, then you don't need the blob folder.

i get error while restoring system...
maybe because i'm trying to restore the nandroid in another nexus 4? or it doens't matter?

Check the permissions in your mnt/sdcard whether owner and group are root and the there are full read write permissions.
You can always cloud upload and download and
Yes you need the blobs folder. I assume you have cwm6 and the blobs folder has important files..

Hello i have a problem with all the file explorers i used for my galaxy s4 except root explorer. I have a folder in my sd card that contains music files. Whenever i try to access it file eplorers crash. The same happens with every programm that tries to access that folder (not only file explorers). I deleted the folder, created a new one but the problem still remains...Any solution??

Sounds weird.
Try to 'Wipe Cache' in the custom recovery (if you have one installed)

OK, check to see if there is '.nomedia' file in these folders?
Have you tried to remove and insert again your sd card? sometimes it solves this kind of problems.

Are you sure?
To make sure, install ES File Explorer, open Menu --> Tools --> select 'Show hidden files', press Back to exit the Menu and go to these folder again to check if there is '.nomedia' file.
Check .nomedia file using root browser app(not the stock one) & delete it..
Hope it helps!!

no guys, I just created a folder and copied two pictures in this folder, but the folder is not seen, so I'm sure I do not have any file .nomedia.
Have u turned off media scanner??
This service checks for media files after reboot..
Sent from my SM-N900 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I had this some times as well. I would then go into All Apps and force stop the gallery, and then clear data & cache. Then I would do the same thing for the Media Storage. After this, I reboot the phone and the Media Scanner rebuilds the Media library and keeps it updated.
Hope this helps.
