I am running on Team Union Rom v3. JB.
I cannot restore / backup files on Nova Launcher.
Default Location (cannot be changed) = /sdcard/data/com.teslacoisw.launcher/backup
MAIN PROBLEM
I cannot access /sdcard/data
The folder is there. And it is empty.
Cannot access or move or create file in it (even with root explorer)
In Files app. Under storage - got 2 directories:
1. sdcard0 = internal
2. sdext = external
ATTEMPTS
Try backup files within Nova Launcher to determine backup dir
Failed. Says backup successful but backup file no where to be found.
Why is my sdcard/data folder not accessible?
Can you access it through storage/sdcard0/data ?
in ics the internal space is called Sdcard in JB its called sdcard0, may be you need to fix permissions to access it as its a system folder are you rooted
Rooted via CWM method.
Root works fine. Lucky patcher, busybox, chainfire 3d all works fine.
I need to rephrase my situation.
I can access into sdcard/data/
But once I am in it. No files are in it / visible.
Cannot create file / folder
there is no sdcard its sdcard0 and on my tablet the data folder is extsdcard
anyways I am not rooted currently as just installed the new rom.
But I think its more the case of permission or may be there are no files in it

Already check permission. Full permission. Owner root. Sdcard_write.
Anyway flashed a new rom. Redemption.
Sdcard/android/data is accessible. Nova Launcher backup dir is here.
But could not save backup to sdcard0.
Try backup failed.
I have recently flashed Clockworkmod Recovery on my Galaxy S4 (GT-I9500). I performed a nandroid backup which works just fine since I've been able to use it to restore my stock ROM. However, the phone seems to know where to fetch the backup but I can't locate it personally on the phone either through the PC or using file managers on the device like Root Explorer and Solid Explorer. I even used Solid Edxplorer to change permissions so that I could see all hidden files. Still, all I saw was a 35 byte file named .recovery_version located in /sdcard/clockworkmod with these permissions: rw-rw-r-- and from what I see in the properties of the file it is an MD5. That is all I see. In clockworkmod recovery, the backup is quoted to be in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. I can't see that file on my device. Why aren't I seeing this nandroid backup of mine yet it is in the internal storage? I want to move it from my ohone to PC to free up space since it occupies around 3 GB of the precious storage (you all know the storage issues the GS4 is facing don't you?). Help please.

your backup is located in Data/Media/clockworckmod
use es explorer, enable root, move clockworckmod folder to sd card then to your pc
or use adb command to pull it to your pc

If you cannot see or find it in your /sdcard internal, look in your external sdcard /clockworkmod
folder and sub directories in that folder.
The backups are either in internal or external sdcard /clockworkmod and it's sub-directories
Good luck,
Thanks, I found it using root Explorer in the directories you directed me to. Good day mate

Really appreciate this. Was looking around and noticed my phone storage was fairly low, and couldn't find my stock backup to save my life. Googled this and it brought it right up! Again, thanks! Was fixing to make another backup of my current setup and realized I didn't have enough room lol.

I had similar issue.
Your advice resolved it for me as it was exactly where you pointed.
I go about it a bit differently. Under settings in CWMR you can change the backup location to the external sdcard. Do your backup, connect your phone to the pc and copy it off like any other file. The only downside is you need the available space on your card.

Until you are on the road and need that backup because you got a bad dl. Unless you keep a zip drive on you.. Which is actually a good idea. I switched over to twrp so I can save it to extsd.

Brain fart. I meant to say I change the settings in ROM Manager not CWMR.
I think we are talking about doing the same thing but with different apps. I change the location setting in ROM Manager which I use for my backups and it automatically saves the backup to the extsd instead of the device. I then copy it to my pc but always maintain the latest backup on my extsd in case I need it wherever I am. Done and done. No annoying copying from device to extsd to pc or using download server or an adb pull needed.
It's personal preference to use ROM Manager with CWMR or TWRP. It doesn't matter to me. I started off using clockworkmod's apps some time ago and am happy with them. I just moved to 4.2.2 and noticed how ROM Manager handles the backups differently and the number of questions regarding how to get them off their phone. This is my solution and how I have always done it.
Worked on Samsung Galaxy S Duos GT 7562. Thanks!
Don't have the S4, but after googling this, well, THANKS!!!
open your es explorer and active it'a rooting option in slide panel or use root expkorer then go to this path
mnt//shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup/ you will fine a folder named this date and time thats your backup folder copy it into your mobile storage .... done the n copy or move it in to your pc like normaly file ...
Why is this all the sudden not put on the sdcard? Privacy? Anyway to change recovery to sdcard/clockworkmod/backup?
I used the adb pull command to pull from phone mnt//shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup

In Android 4.2+ backups are placed in secure directory, inaccessible to other apps. Backups can be pulled with adb or by using the ROM Manager Backup Download Server.
Heads up
thanks, i was also looking for the backup location as i dont have an external card, thanks.

Ehm, no. Running 4.4.2 and still the back-ups are located in the directories talked about above. Easily accessible by all file manager apps.
Never been any other way as well.
found the backup dir
my portion of a backup was under CWM and backups found deleted using sd card:good:
Having trouble finding backups on Nexus4
I have the same problem....
The backup was made through the CWM in recovery mode...
The MD5 checksum gave an error..I am trying to fix it so I need access to the files.
I can see the backup folders in recovery mode but cant find them with any file explorer nor did they show with adb pulling sdcard...
Any ideas??

Thank you sir a lot.
I would pray CWM devs, and all the other app devs like Dolphin, Whatsapp etc to please print the path once the backup is done. This will save us a bunch of time!
THANKS

Hi, Thanks a lot I am new to using SONY devices as I have used SAMSUNG and HTC ones before. Your direction pointed me to the right path and I was able to move it to the PC afterwards.
I really appreciate your help.
Bye
Hi there.
I've got problem with my nexus 4, I've got PA 3.99 and franco kernel 178.
When I'm making a backup in recovery it shows that backup made succesfully but I can't find backup files, they are on my phone because it takes my memory but I cant see them in file explorer on my nexus and also cant see when I plug it to PC, my clockworkmod folder on sd is empty :/
It's /data/media/clockwork. Your SD is /data/media/0/

How can I mount it and copy to my pc ?
You can't. Get a root explorer (file explorer or es file explorer) , go to /data/media/clockwork, cut/copy it to /data/media/0/ and then mount your phone to the PC.
I'm having a very weird problem here. I decided to get USB OTG for my phone and flashed a zip that's has worked for me before. Everything worked fine, until I discovered that my SD card didn't mount. Root Explorer could find it fine, or at least the files from it in emulated/0 but ES File Explorer couldn't (both apps had Sdcard as a file in the root, with a toast appearing that told me it wasn't mounted when I tried clicking on it), nor could any app that needed internal storage for something (be it the camera, Play Store couldn't install apps and an emulator I have couldn't find the file/folder). I tried flashing the "recovery zip" from the thread (I will link to it) but that did nothing. TWRP could mount the SD card, unlike everything else though. In addition to that, all three file managers (Root Explorer, ES and TWRP's file manager) had conflicting stuff in the root directory. TWRP was able to mount SDcard, but couldn't find a folder named "storage" that the other two could. Root Explorer could also find the recovery zip that I moved to the root (since I wasn't able to download stuff, I had to use OTG to get it on the device), while the other two couldn't. Root explorer could also find the emulated/0 folder which contained all the files and folders from the SDcard. This is very strange and I haven't been able to find anything on this. Factory reset is my last resort, mainly because it takes so long for titanium backup to set up all the apps again .
Here's some info on my phone (before I flashed the USB OTG zip):
16GB Nexus 4
Beanstalk 4.4 ROM
Faux Kernel
Multi ROM Manager installed
TWRP as a custom recovery
Thread I keep talking about: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/orig-development/usb-otg-externally-powered-usb-otg-t2181820
If you need any more info just ask!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
bump, please. I can't do a titanium backup, which means if I factory reset, I will lose everything. I have some good scores on some great game, might sound a little sad but I don't want to lose it, plus some other stuff that I've managed to accumulate that will piss me off if I lose it. Anyone?
After migrating back from f2fs to ext4 I found out I couldn't touch the files that I adb pushed back onto the device. The pictures I took with the stock camera app wouldn't save until I renamed the old DCIM folder, which caused it to create a new one and proceeded to work normally. How can I make my files and folders writeable again? ES shows that all the files and folders do have RW tags.
I'm running the Android L mako port with the Unleashed kernel.
Very similar problem here, after doing a restore with CWM of 4.4.4 backup, I'm unable to save files to user storage. Owner is 0 root, GID is 1028 sdcard_r, permissions drwxrwx--x.
Can save to ./Downloads though. ?:|
Did you ever resolve your issue?
