[International / GSM] sdcard contents buried one level lower with each flash

[thetrystero]

Every time I flash a new ROM now, my sdcard contents get moved into a directory called 0 and of buries it deeper and deeper with each flash of a new ROM such that after 4 flashes, say, all my original content now lies in directory /0/0/0/0!!

It never used to do this! I'm not sure if its because of the ROM. I've only ever flashed CyanogenMod and aokp before this. Is there a way that I can prevent it from changing my directory structure?

This is a new feature with 4.2. It's part of the multiple user accounts feature in 4.2 I haven't read up on it that much but from what I've seen, most people just move their files back. A quick google search will yield you some answers.

Flashing the most up to date version of your custom recovery will prevent this from continuing, but you'll manually have to move the files to fix the current folder system. I use twrp 2.3.3.0 and it doesn't do it.

Thanks, I'm using cwm. I'll flash the latest and see if that solves it.
