[Q] 0 Folderception

[Steveletack]

Hey guys Ive got a short question.
Everytime i flash a new rom on my Nexus 7 it creates a new folder called "0" and in this folder all the normal folders are in like ringtones etc., and in the "0" folder is then another "0" folder and so on and so on.
Can you please tell me how to prevent this?
Thanks steve

Restoring to a backup will stop this, this should only happen if you factory reset, then on don't restore.

NEXUS 7:
Unlock/Root
Prime D
M-Kernel
PimpMyROM

Update your recovery. The nested 0 folders are caused by using older versions of recoveries that are not able to deal with the multi-user file structure of 4.2 and above. You can treat this as a lesson in the necessity of exercising due diligence, as this is a widely documented issue using with using deprecated versions of recoveries.

In addition to updating your recovery, you'll also need to copy everything from that last 0 folder to /data/media/0 and then delete the nested 0 folders.
