I also noticed this when I flashed 4.3. I personally don't use it as I use Titanium Backup, and when I saw it wasn't there I didn't think too much about it, but I noticed it wasn't there so you aren't alone.

External storage error

Hi. I was on a plane last night after the longest week ever on a trip.
I have a perfectly functioning nexus 10. I downloaded a flashable zip of clockwork touch recovery instead of the non touch one I was using.
Stupidly I flashed it and rebooted and ever since I get the gallery error of now external storage. Google play doesn't work either.
In setting the nexus knows I have 13gb available and I get no error messages when I boot into recovery.
A pain in the butt for sure and I am not sure how to undo my stupidity.

I tried reflashing. I tried fastboot -w. I tried a few other things but to no avail.
I'd prefer to just blast the entire partition structure and start over

I'll redo the boot loader tomorrow. Maybe flash the Ubuntu preview then back.
Thoughts?

So far no luck. I've relocked and unlocked. Changed recoveries. Installed ROM after ROM and still same error. I'm completely at a loss
Anyone have any ideas?

Did you try fix permissions in recovery?It's worth a shot.
I dunno why flashing any version of CWM would cause this though.
I did yes sir. I tried 100 million things. In the storage section of settongs the tablet knew it was a 16gb. But just wouldn't let it be mountable or usable.

Its almost like it doesn't know its partition size or where it is.

Sent to Samsung for repair. I'll report back their findings

I am having the same issue, not able to access Google play or the internal storage even after reinstalling to factory image many times. Have you got it resolved from Samsung. Please update
Hi. Sorry for the delay.
Sadly I contacted Samsung about it and it was officially broken. Happily Samsung repaired it under warranty for me. It was the motherboard that died.

[Q] Rom Toolbox Pro issues?

Just checking to see if anyone is using Rom Toolbox pro and if they noticed any issues restoring data for applications.
Maybe this is an issue as I am trying to restore data from my HTC EVO 4g LTE to my new S4 but I would think that it would work on at least one or two applications. I'm running the updated MDL updates, rooted using CH and TWRP recovery. I installed Rom Toolbox PRO to restore all my backups from my EVO. The applications restore perfectly. However it gives an error trying to restore any data. Just says data restore failed.
Anyone been able to restore data from another phone using this method? I've never encountered this going across other platforms before.
I am having a similar problem
I am having similar issues too. But in my case, I am not able to restore on my own device. I have backed up my app+data on my Nexus 4 running 4.2.2 Paranoid Android ROM. But I am not able to restore it on the 4.3 PA ROM.
I have emailed Jared Rummler about this, and one of the staff member replied hinting that there may be a fix in the next version that might come sometime next week.
Did anyone else face the same problem?

I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that MDL does not have apps2sd functionality? Maybe it would work better with MF9. Probably not the issue but figured I would throw that out there.
I am on mdl and tried restoring when I went to blue kuban, no dice. Lame

(Q) to people who stay on stock and don't root..

Don't take this offensively... But I want to ask people who don't root their Nexus 7, why don't you? It seems like people who aren't rooted are running into problems more than the people who are rooted.

Even though I have all my phone rooted I never considered rooting the tablet. It runs stable enough, is a nexus device so will be updated to the latest android version which the hardware supports and most importantly Sky Go doesn't work reliably on rooted devices

My example of the tablet not running reliably is the EMMC slow down because fstrim wasn't enabled until 4.3 by default. While rooted, you had the option of manually running fstrim or using an app to do it. Though Sky Go seems like a reason I'd stay away from rooting. Some apps even bar you from using them. I'd probably using OTA Root Keeper and temporarily disable root.

I've never really experienced any slowdown, but strangely enough I was watching an xda video this morning about something related. I have tried OTA Root Keeper and similar apps and Sky Go seemed to detect them. Only way I found to do it was to as you say temp unroot, uninstall super user app etc. Found it too much of a pain.
If I did start experiencing issues like slowdowns etc, I wouldn't hesitate to root. One thing I am missing is per app DPI settings from PA.

Edit : may not work if you are on 4.3 unfortunately.

I did actually use this and it did work on 4.2.2
Only problem is you have to re-authenticate all your root apps. Not a big issue, I suggested to the author that before uninstalling the root app it backed up the data then restored it on reinstalling.

What about using multi-ROM to dual boot a rooted ROM and a bone stock ROM? It would be the best of both worlds and you'd only need a simple reboot to switch back and forth.

[Q] How to restore data to Nexus 4 from rooted GT-I9000

Hi
Just moved to Nexus 4 from rooted Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
On the old rooted GT-I9000, whenever I did a wipe and reinstalled new roms, simply a google sign in will pull down all my previously installed apps and most of my data. But when I got my Nexus 4 today with stock 4.3 rom, signing in just set up my google account but no apps nor data were being restored. What should I do? Did I miss something. This is a FABULOUS phone compared to my old one.
Tnx
Did you try titanium backup?

I got Titanium Backup Pro on my old phone, but isn't that required a rooted phone? In intend to use my Nexus 4 stock unrooted.
Just wondering why apps and data weren't automatically pushed to my phone like it used to on my old one.
I think Helium by Clockwork works without root,can you try it?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
When you run the setup on the nexus 4 and sign in your Google account, there should've been the option to save the phone to your Google account and restore data
But now you could just use Helium (Carbon) backup

[Q] No OS only clockworkrecovery mod and a computer

Hi. I recently deleted and formatted everything even lost all my recoveries and back ups and am trying to put nexus 4 stock rom back on to my device. What do I do? I still have clockworkrecovery mod but that's it and a computer to work with.
Download the factory images of your choice and flash them. It is the 15th time today that I am telling this to some one.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I've just done this and used Nexus Root Toolkit, absolute god send. Just plug your phone in, as long as you can get to fastboot, then flash stock + unroot and in a short amount of time you should be back to good.

ok that's what I was doing but I was going to try to install zip from sideload cause I don't even know how to get to my sd card and the android 4.3 stock rom I was downloading earlier was taking hours and my computer got shut off so that never completed.
Flash rom with adb. You will be fine

Then start with your computer first. Fix it and then fix your phone.
