Any way to go around being rooted? And how do I get my file in my SD card so that I can get to it from the bootloader recovery menu ... I have wipe cache, wipe data, and update. On update I have 2 choice but neither have my downloaded jb rom. As a matter of fact they don't have anything on them...

(1) You need to flash a custom recovery. Don't believe you did that? If so, which one?

(2) You can unroot--just get rid of the app and disallow access. That's all it is. Access. Nothing more nothing less.

(3) You can download to your phone directly or transfer from the computer.

I flashed 4.2 before updating cwm, now I have a whole bunch of /0 folders. How can I get rid of these folders? I have wiped everything and was told to format data. I have deleted the multiple /0 folders but it seems they are mirroring each other and I have lost everything once already.

This is because of the new multi-user features built into 4.2. You need to use the latest versions of TWRP or CW recoveries when flashing 4.2 ROMs to avoid this. I've heard that getting rid of the /0 folders is a real PITA too.

Good luck.

Cwm is updated but I just don't have one /0 folder, I have about six /0 folders. I understand one but why multiple?

Not sure. I installed TWRP before I flashed 4.2 for the first time (CWM wasn't updated yet). Since then I've flashed multiple 4.2 MMuzzy and Euroshank ROMs and only have on /0 folder. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I will confirm this is the case as soon as TWRP is done nandroiding .

Keep us posted. I got rid of the multiple /0 folders and they haven't come back.

I don't see any /0 folders.

Also, if you're using Jelly Bro--make sure to change your network under Mobile Data to LTE/CDMA.

I had those folders because I didn't update cwm before installing 4.2 :banghead:
