I'm rooted only. I tried transferring files to both the internal memory and sd card and nothing was working. I'm wondering if it's the write protection in kk that's doing this? Also I have power saver Mode on, does that affect it? I did turn it off but still didn't work. I had USB debugging checked and the notification shows mtp. Is there something I'm missing?
I don't want to s-off, will exposed give me a solution for this? I haven't played w it but wonder if there's a solution there.

Just to verify, you have the HTC Sync Manager installed on your PC correct? I would suggest you reinstall the Sync Manager, just to ensure that your problems are not stemming from a botched install.
The write protections implemented in Kit Kat only apply to apps accessing the external SD card in specific write scenarios, not you accessing your M8's internal memory via computer. They still allow for apps to write to the external SD card IF ALLOWED IN THE ORIGINAL APP PERMISSIONS (such as for package specific directories), though, like in the case of file managers, you will no longer be able to modify/create/delete the contents of your external SD card. You could try installing the Xposed Framework with this module, but in your case, I doubt they will be of any help.
Thanks for the reply. I'll try to reinstall my htc sync manager. Hopefully that'll do the trick.
As for the xposed part, it took me forever but I finally got it to work... Makes things easier for me to backup w tb instead of constantly transferring from internal to ext.

I was going to post this in the AOKP rom page but i figured it'd get seen more here and maybe its not even a problem related to the rom. I recently installed the AOKP rom located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831858. everything was great the first day then i started getting random reboots and losing my data. So I flashed a back up and still got the same problems. I lost my data yesterday, fixed that by manually changing the APN settings and everything was fine other than still getting random reboots. today I went to take a picture and it says "no external storage". I opened root explorer and I can access my EXTERNAL SD card but not the INTERNAL. I tried to mount in via the setting, storage menu and it wont mount. Also tried mounting in CWM recovery, no dice.
Is this a hardware problem or something software related? Anyway to get my stuff back or is it gone? I thought about trying to format it through recovery but how can I do that if it wont mount? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm about to go through and install a "clean" copy of this ROM hopefully. Or I might try another ROM I know works like it should.
Installed a new Rom. Everything works perfect so far but still can't access my internal sd card. Any tricks how to get this back or do I need to just turn it in for warranty?

Warranty may be your best solution, you'll have to revert to stock using kies/odin which may on it's own fix your issue.
Are you also receiving the "Blank USB storage or has unsupported file system" error?
I have been battling this issue for a friend of mine (I own only the I9300) and I believe I have somewhat of a fix. It will allow you to use an external SD card.
If you can use / access the external SD card on your phone then disregard this message.
If you can't access any of the storage, including the external SD card try following this short tutorial I made:

Im still able to use my external sd card. I can read and write to it from both phone and pc.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
The internal SD card is essentially part of the motherboard. If it's corrupted, you have no choice but to warranty the phone out. Kishke's right in that restoring to stock might be your last, best chance.
Well, I stock rooted yesterday, and all went well, except for my sd card.
I did the "wipe" stock rooted and removed my sd card before doing so, so that I would lose the items on the sd card. But a couple folders are missing/hiding or I can't see them.
I'm missing the Camerazoom folder that had all my images in it, as well as all the music that I've had on my sd card. I've had the music on that card for over 3 years, and now I can't seem to find it.
Would this be hidden somehow? Is there a Windows app that will let me view all the items on my sd card while it's in the phone? I have the drivers installed and I can peruse my card and my phone, but am not finding either folder using this method.
Please advise and thank you.
Hey wolfgrrl,
Can you directly connect to computer or
use an SD Reader to check for the files.
This will verify if they are there or not.
Sometimes (and I have seen this happen before)
just removing the SD Card (for about a minute) then
replacing it may fix it 4U.:victory:
Just remember to turn off phone first, then remove
battery, then remove SD Card. Reverse order and turn
on phone.
Hope This Helps:fingers-crossed:
Unfortunately, that did not work. :crying:
I don't have a reader for a card this small. Such is life.

Hi. This is my first post so please forgive me. I just installed the new KitKat Custom ROM by Echoed onto my GT-N8020 Galaxy Note 10.1. I have installed many ROMs on many devices with no problems. ROM installed fine as always but now I have a problem. When I connect to my computer via USB I cannot see the external SD card in My Computer. The internal SD is displayed though. I have tried Googling all day with no luck. All I can find is info on the SD permissions problem etc. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know how to fix this as I am stumped. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers

first off, it has to be in mtp mode, not camera to even have a chance.
have you tried other cables/ports/cards? try putting the card in only when the tab is already in the pc, or putting the card in a powered off phone and booting up the phone once its connected, or failing that, just use a micro sd card reader.
you can alos try apps like ums for galaxy s3 (from playstore) and see if it works for you.
To enable Mass Storage mode, do the following:
Download Terminal app
Then type this, and press enter after each line:
su
setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage
reboot
After rebooting, plug it in, mount usb storage. If required, format it.
Thanks guys. Unfortunately I didn't get to try the terminal command as I didn't know about that one. In the end I got rid of Echoes KitKat ROM for n8020 and installed original Cyanogen ROM and voila......all problems gone. Must be a lot of bugs in the Echoe ROM as external SD Card was not visible on computer or even writable to. And 4g was not working.
Thanks for your help guys. I really appreciate it and will have to remember to try your suggestions if this ever happens again. Cheers
I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 64GB SD card. I just purchased the tablet yesterday and rooted it using towelroot but that's all I've done. I put the SD card in and it's recognized and showing the correct available space. I'm able to create a file using ESFile explorer but I can't do anything with it. I tried a couple torrent clients to download files to the SD card and it keeps saying unable to write to folder or that it's write protected. When in file explorer I can create a file and under properties it does show it's able to be written to. I also have downloaded and tried the kitkat SD card fix app. I've gotten pretty frustrated with it so just did a complete factory reset and going to start from scratch. I was able to move apps to SD card using an app but that's all I could do. I'd really like to put any/all downloaded apps and files on the SD card since I only have a 16GB version.
Any ideas what I can do?

Well just an update after doing a factory reset everything seems to work now, of course i get to download everything again. I think it might have had something to do with the OTA update. After doing the factory reset it kept the update. Now I can freely move to and from the SD card so all is good.
FYI, since you are rooted I would suggest installing the Xposed Framework and then install the "HandleExternalStorage" module, the KitKat update cripples external SD card access so file managers, emulators, and the like can no longer write to the SD card. Installing this module re-enables external SD card read/write access for all applications, it is not the device. There is also an app on the Play Store call 'SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD' which accomplishes the same thing, however the Xposed module is much safer as it can be enabled and disabled at will. Simply install the module, enable it, and that's it.
This app was written by Jrummy and states that it's for Kit Kat (he should probably update it as it still works). I've used it on every device I've owned since Kit Kat without a single issue. Just run the app and uninstall it when you're done (or don't but it's pointless after you've ran it). It's making a very simple (and reversible) change.
Root is required!

Does anyone know how to use your SD card as Mass Storage when you connect it to your computer?
Currently, to write to the phone from the computer, you have to use MTP. It's too slow though. I want to be able to access my external SD like a flash drive.
I have to eject my SD card from my phone and use a SD card adapter to connect it to my computer anytime I want to make any changes.
If I could mount SD card as Mass Storage while phone is connected to computer via USB, that would make things a lot easier.

When I connect my Mate 7 to the computer, it gives me the option to mount it as a regular flash drive or as MTP.
So, I think it's possible through a software mod.
All,
I just picked up a new Pure, and already have it rooted, and while I have read/write, I can't get the dates to change to the creations date, instead, it has the copy date. Will I need a custom ROM to fix this bug???
(I use a backup program to put "MY" file on the SD, and it tries to use the date to see if there's a change, but can't because it can't change the date. I use to be able to do this with rooted devices.)
Def not working on mm
Any trick for Android 6.0.1? Can't find any working method..
nop dont work on mm, tried many apps and google, no fix
Anyone with a custom ROM know if Writes and datestamp work correctly. (Not per Google)

There is no fix for Marshmallow other than using SD card as external storage?
I have my SD Card set up as portable on my 6.0 Pure, and BitTorrent Sync has issues writing to it. It works perfectly fine on my internal device storage, but starts encountering complete screwups on the SD Card. It did work when I had the SD Card formatted as adoptable, internal storage though.

Yep Xposed runs on this ROM, it's a great one. For those here for the original thread, I contacted support and sent them my logs and they were able to solve the problem in the next app update.
I'm getting about 5h SOT with moderate-heavy usage after 24h off the charger and a lot of music (Viper too) playing with the screen off. I have a solid amount of wakelocks disabled too, so that adds to it. Still think I should be able to push out some more.
