hello. im sorry if this has been posted before.
i am unable to find the clockwork mod folder in my tablet or in windows and everytime i need to restore a backup, i have th md5 error (i know how to fix that - but it requires accessing the folder)
does anyone have any suggestions on what to do? ive looked everywhere with ES file explorer and in all the emulated, 0, and other sdcard folders
thanks!

it doesnt exist, although clockworkmod can find its own backups

It does exist. You have to be using a root explorer app to see it.

I have got my N4 and have rooted it and have latest cwm. I did backup but I couldn't find the backup at /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups.
Also, I don't see any settings in ROM Manager to switch as well ...
My glacier have sd card, so still habitual to those ...

it doesnt show in mine either. but if you bot to recovery it will show in the restore. id imagin the files are hidden so we dont accidentally delete them. if you want to delete... you can in recovery.

Yeah, that's true. I extract my backups and keep it safe, that's why I'm trying to find it physically.

es file explorer. go into settings and give it root permissions. supersu will pop up. grant. then tick favorites button. hit the '/'. you will be in root folder.
How would you get them from your phone to your computer

if you are like me and are not familiar with the emulator commands.
copy from root folder into sdcard somewhere. download is probably easiest. then use airdroid to transfer to pc. airdroid also lets you text from pc, through webpage, so you dont have to look at phone while busy onine. pretty neat app.
I can see the backup zip in ES Explorer, but it is not visible to windows when I connect the N4 to it. I can see all other photo files, and I even moved the zip to the DCIM folder, but I cannot see therefore I cannot make a copy of it to keep in my laptop.
how to switch cwm to create them in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backups instead of /data/media/clockworkmod? i know it is possible becouse some time ago by default it was created and visible to system and know it is not (i did not change any settings, probably)
btw: on external sdcard they are created normally

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.

I am seeing /mnt/shell is empty. Please screenshots. I am able to see clockworkmod and backup file in CWM recovery mod. This is very much confusion. Can anyone please help..
Re,
In your file explorer have you a setting like "view or show hidden folders / files"? If yes tick the option maybe...
Also look at /data/media/clockworkmod/backup.

Hi guys, the problem I have is after a few times of plugging in my Nexus 7 to my PC, it has seemed to 'Wipe' the SD partition. Both the PC and device (File explorers and terminal) report it has been cleared, with obvious new files created by some apps on startup.
I have/had a backup on said SD partition,when I boot into recovery, Clockworkmod recovery still shows that I have these backup file... I then get a Md5 mismatch error when trying to use it. (I have attached a screenshot of where CWM displays my backup)
What I want to know is, do I get this error because the file isn't there? Is there any way I can restore my SD partition by some sort of witchcraft?
Thanks in advance, Dan
That's not where CWM stores its backups though. The actual location is /data/media/clockworkmod/. This folder is not accessible from the computer.

I see! Never mind anyway as the backups I did have, didn't work when I flashed it (Must have been incomplete).
Thank you again for the quick responses, Dan.
I have made several cmw backups on my n4 and i cannot seem to locate them using a file browser on the phone also i cannot find them on the internal storage when i connect the phone to my computer. So I am wondering if anyone knows the default location of these back ups i am wanting to export them to my computer.
Thanks
