Hi, after updating to android 4.2.2, I encountered the Eaccess Permission Denied error when an app tried to write into the sd card, making the card read-only. So this is a guide to fix that problem.
Requirements:
Device must be rooted
Root Explorer installed
Fixing the problem:
Using root explorer navigate to System/etc/permissions
Open platform.xml using root explorer's Text Editor
Find the permission "Write_External_Storage" and there will be the permission group: "sdcard_rw"
Add another group directly under that one: <group gid="media_rw" />
Save changes made in the file and exit
Reboot your device
Done! Now apps have the permission to write data on the external sd card.

I'm with you southsamurai - I'm not a complete noob but this one has me stumped, my guess is our situation has nothing to do with the contents of platform.xml because even with root access I can't save changes to it...
But I may be wrong... Did you fix your issue somehow?

Hi guys
I just have my second 802w, this one is coming from UK , it is Kitkat 4.4 + sense 6.
I rooted it and recovery is twrp 2.7
The bootloader says "tampered" + "unlocked"
No way to change Platform.xml even by flashing through recovery usig a zip. It says succeed but same old file after reboot.
If I use the nexapp sdfix, it crashes after "continue" and reboot.
Same if I use a es explorer or total commander, when I push save, black screen + reboot.
It seems there is an additionnal protection on those last updated uk 802w
Anybody has a clue?

I tried this on my nexus 5 and still get the error...
To anyone not getting the change to stick, make sure in ES file explorer you turn root explorer on in the menu on the left hand side. You then need to tap root explorer in order to switch the file path /system to rw before making your changes in the text editor.
If you manage to get further than I did, please write back with any tips!

I used Total Commander instead of Root Explorer and I was able to save the file after I made the changes...and it worked fine
I would like to thank also Stuart D
"Use Total Commander (with 'root' enabled in options).
Edit the file using the built-in editor "Totalcmd-Editor"
When you save, it will ask to remount drive; press OK.
Remember to reboot afterwards."

It's just a guess, but maybe you need to root your phone? Don't know if it's already rooted but...
Yes! Its perfectly rooted with SuperOneClick! I too use TBackup!

Did you tried the "RW" option on the rootexplorer? Or just delete first the file, and not try to overwrite them...
You can do this over adb too...
GL!
The R/W Option is Enabled! =(
UP! UP! UP!
First make sure u are rooted and then
try remounting the system by typing in terminal:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system
NOTE: When u open Root Explorer a text should appear "Root Explorer has been granted Superuser permission"... If this doesnt appear check the su app for allowing permission to ROOT EXPLORER or u will need 2 reroot ur phone...
Go to the location where you want to paste a file or perform action.
Now click on Mount RW at the top of the screen. It will change to Mount RO.
Now you can copy files.
PS: Your need a rooted phone

My phone is rooted, and root explorer HAS ROOT ACCESS but clicking on the "Remount as RW" button on the top of the screen does nothing in "/system"
it works on "/sdcard" and anywhere els. But not in "/system"
Any ideas?
Edit: actually in "Superuser" the root access has been allowed but when I start "Root Explorer" there will be no notification of giving the root access ("Root Explorer has been granted Superuser permission")

And how did you do it?
Got the same problem on my rooted Nexus 10 running 4.2.1 JB. Rooted it with SuperSU.zip via CWM and root seems to work fine.
Sadly I cant write anything to the system folder.
I tired to use the command "mount -o remiunt,rw /dev/block/stl6 /system" mentioned earlier in this thread but even with the use of "su" and granting SuperSU rights it wont allow me to create directories there. The mount command seems to work fine as there are no error messages but mkdir throws an error:
"mkdir: can't create directory 'test': Read-only file system"
Oh and there are no toast notifications about granting root access to the shell except the first time I typed su.
Anybody else having that problem on the Nexus 10?

i got a solution for this issue :
just install es explorer and turn on the root explorer mode then grant the permissions then again click on the tab root explorer and then a popup window will appear where you can allow permissions for each folder differently.

Hello Members
I'm kinda new to rooting, i just installed ics 4.0.4 rooted it and now im having problems changing permissions in root explorer. Im trying to install Talk_with_AV_no_wifi.zip. I'm following the instructions from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390818. But its not working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
just a guess but mayybe becuase it is in the i-777 forum, it could have diff, libs or something. idk if im right or not.
It worked fine when i had gingerbread. Since ive had ics been having issues with root explorer. I got passed moving the file from sd to system/app with help from other threads but when i try to change permissions in root explorer i get the message.

If its a mod from a different phone it probably won't work. I am on my phone and can't look right now.

The mod isn't phone specific, it worked when i had gingerbread on the same phone.
Check Superuser SU for any errors. It may have denied permissions. If so, just click the button at the bottom to enable RootExplorer to make SU changes.
Please help me...!!!
when i m trying to chage the permission in root explorer its showing me...'Permissions change was not successful. Please note that some file systems(e.g SD Card) do not allow permission changes.'
plz tell me how to solv it...I have LG P698 mobile phone...its hv android 2.3.4
I've got root, SuperSU, and it won't let me change the files at all. I can't rename the files. Just says, "HotspotProvision.akp cannot be renamed because the file system is read-only". I can't find a permissions option. Do I need the pay version of Root Explorer?

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
<group gid="sdcard_r"/>
<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>

Any idea to fix this issue ?

Have you tried reinstalling titanium/es file explorer after updating the platform.xml?
Might help as the apps permissions may not have been implemented correctly if apps didn't have write access to the SD card upon install.

Thanks for the reply.
unfortunately the issue is i cannot modify the plateform.xml manually or with the SDfix App.....
I just checked in ES File explorer and the root explorer case was not checked.
The thing is when i'm checking it it tell me that my device is not rooted (my device is rooted i have SU on it and granted ES File explorer root access from the SU menu).
As the Z3 is rooted with the root exploit of the 23.0.A.2.93 downgrade maybe it's a limitation.
Any idea ? (I try also to reinstall ES File explore with same result)

Sorry, I misread the OP.
I'm not sure how to get around it, my suggestion was just a guess but I know google have prevented play store apps for having write access to the SD card by default.
I believe the usual way around this is to use exposed framework but I'm not sure if this is functional on Z3 running 5.x yet.
Try copying platform.xml to sdcard and copy it to computer, make modifications, and copy it back. Then use Aroma File manager in recovery, rename original platform.xml to platform.xml.bak for just in case. and copy the file from sdcard and change permissions to rw.r..r.. and you are set. Remember to mount system in recovery before starting file manager.

It's a good idea but xperia Z3 with stock rom do not have any recovery mode. If you install any recovery partition, you void warranty (that's not a big deal) and you cannot use DRM anymore (Photo are crapy)
