Hello All,
Since kitkat 4.4.2 was released on the Galaxy Note 3, many users were unable to write files to the External SD Card. Below is a simple fix for rooted users on the Galaxy Note 3 N9005 ( International Snapdragon Variant).
**Please be advised that I have only tested this on my personal N9005. However, you are free to test it on your own devices at your own risk!! **
1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...
4. Save the changes to the file.
5. Restart.
Attached is a copy of my platform.xml.
Note : Another Playstore application avaliable to fix this issue : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix.
Edited on request of @webmastir
try it yesterday 4 times and every time I had a Bluetooth error.
The only way I was able to use Kitkat with my note was using a custom ROM. Do not understand, what are custom rom builders do other way, but it work for me...
And more. Even with custom rom, the external sd is showed the "different" way, when in 4.3 , For example, in Total commander, there is no SD2. and some other software, do not define microsd as SD card. Just another folder in fail system...

Well, the architecture is the same and permission manisfest is used with all roms, sammy developers forgot to add a group I guess or did it on purpose, who knows.. but this worked like a charm for me after I flashed kitkat and felt handicapped.
Maybe you have messed up with some permission or something if you're getting the bluetooth error.
Try to do a clean flash again and then edit the file. If clean flash is not possibe pm me ur email. I will send you my xml and try to replace it with yours to see if that fixes your problem.

this method isnt working for me I already modified the file but still cant make the programs to access the sd card, worst than that my internal storage is "write protected"... Im starting to think to get rid of this phone it has been nothing but problems since the beggining: Region Lock, Knox crap and now the SD... whats next?

Can you add a screen of the platform.xml? Perhaps you may have wrongly entered the permission gid.. And you need to restart the phone after editing the file.

Sure here it is.
I made it by flashing the zip file, am not able to copy or edit files in the internal memory because "write protection"

I'd strongly recommend to do a full wipe and factory reset if you're having a custom recovery. Ive read fee forums outside XDA that many a times flashable zips have cause a problem to platform.xml.
If you dont have a custom recovery then you may need to flash the firmware again and then edit the file.

thank you for proposed help. But I'm to tired of setting up phone after all weekend "fun" with rom flashed (all together 5-6 times with full wipe)
I'm almost sure, I wasn't messing with anything else - I did it more then 4 times, and Bluetooth was working until I edit platform.xml
now, I start to think, it's possible the ownership and permissions were changed after editing (I was using total commander and did not check it after saving the file).
But, I'm not the only one - there someone having same issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49530438&postcount=3
P.S. I wasn't modifying /mnt/media_rw
some application don't have permission to write extSdCard
I made this mod but some application don't have permission to write ExtSdCard.
these application in my case are: dolphin wont download files, tomtom navigator doesn't work but moving tomtom folder in internal sdcard it works.
Is there anybody that have same issue?

Hey, your permissions are correct, previously I granted sdcard_rw rights, but not media_rw as mentioned in your discussion. Since the changes to show
"
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
"
I'm able to write and titanium backup is running smoothly.
Thanks and Cheers!

Today's rollout for OMN, SIM, MTL and ATL have the same missing media_rw.
If you are not on root (!!!knox 0x1!!!), i suggest NOT to update to 4.4.2
or a lot programs you paid for might not work properly if they need
access to ExtSdCard.
Dunno if its a bug or changed permissions to use ExtSdCard.
Currently only programs with system access like stock Filemanager are working.

I don't think there will be a fix. This is a kitkat feature where app that need access to external sd need to ask for permission. So it's up to each app developer to update their app with this permission.

For those who dont know, there is a new updated S-voice out that is currently working on most devices. I'm sure it'll be patched soon as well, and the need to change the build.prop will arise again. In the meantime, this one DOES work

Move to system/app, install, enjoy.
When was it updated? I got the download from the original thread yesterday afternoon.

This was updated earlier today. Many users were having trouble with the previous build after Samsung blocked access to the application from other devices.

NVM some things work some dont, I sent myself a text but cannot set an alarm lol. this helped things though.

I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x
I have permissions set to -rwxrwxr-x
I haven't a clue then lol, tried that as well, with no luck.
I copied that .so file from the .apk into the lib folder and it works now. It appears the only time that the app FC itself is when it tries to launch another app. I'm guessing probably because it is trying to look for the Samsung app.
Example - When I ask "Locate the nearest Mexican restaurant" or "What is the weather like today?"

hi, may sounds silly, but i'm new in the android game.
where do I find the "systems/app" folder that you mentioned? I'm on a Mac and using the USB Mass Storage, but I don't see the systems folder.
any help will be appreciated.
You're going to need to use ADB with cmd line to push it as far as I know or have root enabled file explorer like ROM Toolbox and you will see system when you're in it, this app never worked when I pushed it to system for me just installed it like a normal app and rebooted phone

Hi,
I rooted my phone because I wanted to use an application called FolderMount, so I could store big chunks of data from apps onto my SD card.(it seems as though the SD card is useless on Android)I am using an HTC Desire 601, with Android version 4.2.2. Now my problem is that, I'm having an error with FolderMount because of something to do with external SD card r/w permissions.(no this is not specific to the app, it's a software wide problem, that's why I'm posting here.) So I found a "fix" that involved editing platform.xml and adding a line. However, everytime I try to edit it, either the phone just reboots, or no changes are made. Basically, the system folder is denying me r/w access. In root explorer there is a feature to mount it temporarily as r/w, but then if I reboot my changes are lost. This is a problem which I think is also not allowing me to install Busybox. Please help me with this. Thank you.

Open SuperSU and check if access is granted for "FolderMount"
Do you use free FolderMount? Thats limited to 3links at all.

Yes, of course access is granted. I have only tried to create one link so far...so it can't be anything to do with the number of links permitted in FolderMount. I mean, I haven't been able to create a single working link. Precisely, the error I'm getting in FolderMount has something to do with sd card r/w permissions(I've linked a screenshot;maybe you've had this problem before and you solved it?)
The only possible fix I can find is the edit to platform.xml. I've contacted the developer; notice how it says "Attempt to patch my ROM"? Well the developer told me that when the patch is applied and when I reboot, the patch is erased because of the reboot(he said that seems to be the case) so I need to find a way to ensure that it isn't erased. I'm having the same problem here; when I make an edit, it's erased either immediately or after reboot. So that's why I need to find a way to fix this. Thanks, if you have a possible fix.
I've tried using DirectoryBind, but it doesn't work and I hear it's been broken since 4.2. I don't know how to revert back to a previous Android version for my device, so I'm stuck.

Some files e.g. related to kernel will be generated on every boot. In that case you can't change em permanently. BUT you can try another solution so far Create a ext2/ext4 partition on your external sd and use Link2SD or APP2SD pro
In the superSU setting, try enabling option allow apps requesting root permission at start up(on boot).

Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
But the OP hasn't been able to give me some working solutions.
So i am asking to anyone who knows about this stuff. I have rooted and installed CWM recovery, that still given me authority
over my SD-Card, i cannot copy/paste/delete/rename basically access it fully.
The only way i can do is, remove the SD-Card and insert in a Card reader and copy/paste/delete etc.
But i cannot directly do from phone itself.
I already have fX Explorer, Solid explorer and ES File Explorer.
Nothing has worked, so i am asking can anyone show me how to do that.
I would be grateful for your suggestion.
Awaiting reply.

The FS /system and other too is/are readonly (ro) in device, so if u want to delete or copy inside this partition u must change it to rw (readwrite), it's better for you to use some Explorer root based application like FX Explorer with root addon ...
If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.

I have already installed at least a dozen of explorer, most promising was fx explorer with it free root access add-on, the other was ES File

My device is Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H, Android 4.4.2. I have already rooted and installed CWR mode, but i havn't flashed my firmware.
I am searching now for a possible firmware update, that could access memory card.
Could you do a small part from your side and find a firmware that can be flashed in my device, i will try from my side. :good:
Will update , if i find some solution.

All of the stock firmwares uses KK RO acess for SdCard unless U install some custom & fixed ones.
Have also provided many tutorials in the subforums detaily how to fix it for GC2 models.

OK, thanks for the statement. I accept, i am a newbie here. I can figure my way through most of the other forum out there.
But one pertaining to Mobile device require's little more knowledge, because its tricky, since there are a huge number of devices.
I am not a regular visitor.
Anyways, i found a firmware for my device.
Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/
http://samsung-updates.com/details/42605/Galaxy_Core_2/SM-G355H/INS/G355HXXU0AOC1.html
The second link to the firmware matched the hashes to the link in the first link.
Did the Odin thing, and all the necessary steps. But still i am not able to copy/paste/delete etc function.
So i technically give up for this device, i'll use it as it is.
@StratOS_HTC: I tried the KitKat access app from Google Play store, a number of them. But they all showed similar results.
But i'll be open to your opinion.
Thank you.:good:

Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
Awaiting reply.

As said and will said again :
Please read carefully !
Hope your phone works ok and everything else on phone is ok.
If you can't access your extSdCard throught phone do a low level format ( and hope you don't use 64 GB ).
Hope also you don't use any other EXT partition on your sdcard. or any other sd linkage or swap options on your sdcard
Format the sdcard as only extFAT or FAT on any other comp card reader and reformat it on the phone !
Now you should be able to access the sdcard on your phone if every thing else on phone is ok.
If U'r rooted on stock ( KitKat sdcard restriction ) and if U have installed nextapp.sdfix and grant su access to it the app will change this permissions for you and you will be able to aceess rw to sdcard now.
Hello and Welcome,
I was looking as hell for a solution to my problem on the internet.
I have been fighting with this for a month now.
Some months ago I have bought a china camera. I have started to have some problem with it, so I decided to check what is inside. I have found some Xynos(samsung chip).
It have custom system running on it.
I realize that it has an android(4.0.3) on it running an app(which act as a OS) which is responsible for full device.
I decided to connect USB keyboard to it and I manage to exit(! haha) this app and go to normal android device launcher.
In the next step I wanted to run ADB. I did not have any drivers, so I tried to change pid of universal USB driver and it worked(!).
The problem that I am facing now, is that I cannot enable USB debugging to run ADB. When I go to developer options and enable USB Debugging go back and again enter it is disabled.
So they somehow secure this. Is there a way to "hack" this? I tried to get to fastboot by pressing all hardware buttons but no luck.
I have also Extracted this app as a *.apk but there is nothing that I can do with it. I tried to install it on another device, but it says that "App was not installed", maybe because of android version(I tried on 4.4.2).
Best Regards,
Patryk
U want to root it?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using XDA Free mobile app
Basicly yes because without it you can do nothing. A least get ADB to work.
Try with kingo root its an universal rooting app works with almost every device

Thank you very much, I didn't know that it is possible to root the device from app level
I have another problem to solve, maybe someone can also help me with it.
This main app which acts as a OS require some custom SD card to be placed in the device.
If it is not there device won't let me use most of it functions.
Is it possible to somehow "hack" this solution?
Reversing APK will help?
Yup some devices are behave like that! Same like my phone gt s5830i
My phone memory divided into two partitons 1.system 2.internal storage
System storage(200MB) contains OS files and you cant use it for personal usage like downloads,pictures etc.
And the internal storage(200mb) is reserved only for app installations!
So if i dont put sd card i cant take pics or record a video or voice,i cant able to download anything or save anything!
I mean i cant do any media things or saving things!
And there is no way to solve it!
I think ur problem is same
Give a Thanks if i helped you!

For now I have almost solve my full problem and it is not connected with SD card memory. My SD card slot acts as a kinda security and SD card by it self is some kind of a chip. Without this chip device simply won't work.
I was able to reverse main system app on my device by apktool and see some java using Dex2Jar + JD GUI.
Now I am trying to find some code responsible for this action and will try to "fix" that in smali files, build again and install till I die

I'm using Voice Recorder when I'm on stock to record song ideas and I keep them on my SD card so I don't lose them through my ROM experiments.
But when I'm on CM I can't access the SD card. I get this error "No access - Please choose another folder".
I gave it all the permissions I could but I still get the error.
How can I get this to work?
Thanks!

Before can you check you permission file ?
If a line of code is missing SDcard fix for KK can solve you problem, but don't forget to do a backup of your file :silly:
(same if SDcard do it too)
Often this line of code seem like
<group gid="media_rw" />
in
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

You aren't understanding. To simplify this for you, do a google search for:
"SD card fix for KitKat"
That was the whole point of putting it in quotation marks the first time I mentioned it.
That should give you many different links to go through with various methods. Find the various methods of fixing this for KitKat and find one that works for you.

In my mind i think it's better to wait someone with Best knowledge than me on Cm, longtime i'm not on.
Maybe can you send the list of folder of root directory....
Or try reboot on your cwm, twrp...if you have something like
Advanced option > fix permission...
But i prefer said you, if you aren't sure what you are doing, don't try or expect someone more competent than me.

What I meant was finding that permission file is pointless, just do the search for the SD card fix for KitKat and give it a try.

Try XternalSD or Marshmallow SD fix. They're both xposed modules so you'll need to install the xposed framework first.
