NOTE: Please see the following post for the original modification (as far as I'm aware) and the manual method of doing the same thing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20869996&postcount=7
This "update.zip" style installer simply automates the process of modifying /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to make the tablet permissions act the same as previous versions of android.
In particular, programs with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission will be able to write to the removable storage card. (Honeycomb changes this to require WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE which very few, if any, 3rd party programs use.)
If you are having issues with programs writing to your storage card, this might fix it.
This uses 'sed' to make the edits. If this is installed twice, it won't re-modifying the file. (However, if you have manually edited the platform.xml file, and then run this script, it might make create duplicate, but harmless, <group> entries. Before making the modification to platform.xml, it will create a backup of the file (called platform.xml.backup) in the /system/etc/permissions directory (if the backup doesn't already exist.)
Instructions:
Download the file, and place on your sdcard. Reboot into recovery and install .zip from sdcard. Choose this file. Done..
(I've tested this with my CWM based recovery and it works. It _should_ work with the factory recovery as well, but I haven't tested... Please reply with your results.)
Support:
None. If you aren't familiar with using recovery to install updates, you should research the topic before continuing.
More info:
If you are curious, here is the sed command I'm sending, using busybox compiled from the cyanogenmod sources:
Code:
sed -e '/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >$/N;s/\n\(\([ \t]*\)<group gid="sdcard_rw".*$\)/\n\2<group gid="media_rw" \/>\n\1/' -i /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
What that means is: do an "in-place" edit on /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, and find the line containing "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE >", then if the next line contains some whitespace followed by "<group gid="sdcard_rw" />", replace that sdcard_rw line with two new lines, the first being "<group gid="media_rw" />" and the second being the exact line that contained "sdcard_rw". I purposely put the media_rw line before the sdcard_rw line to prevent this same sed command from finding the same match again. In other words, if you run this sed command 50 times on the same file, it'll only make the change the first time.
(I'm not fluent with sed, so if someone knows a better way to do that, please feel free to educate me.)
File is attached below...
UPDATED Feb 5th, 2012: the script will change the filesystem permissions of the platform.xml file before attempting to edit it. This MAY overcome issues people have been having with non-rooted devices, but I'm unable to test so I don't know. Okay, well, it appears that this won't work for a device that doesn't have CWM Recovery installed. Not sure why, but at least I've repeated it.
Take care

It should, but I have no way to test. I can tell you that it won't cause any harm. Go ahead and install it, and then (using adb or a file explorer tool) copy the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml (and platform.xml.backup) files and compare them (or send them to me and I'll compare them) to verify.

That doesn't make sense. What leads you to believe that it didn't work? Which program/option isn't working how you expect (and how do you expect it to work?) (sorry for all the questions, but if I can't repeat exactly what you are experiencing, I can't really help you.)
Do you have some kind of file explorer installed? If so, please browse to /system/etc/permissions and view the "platform.xml" file. Scroll down to find the line with "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE". There should be two lines below that that start with "<group gid". One should have the string "media_rw" and the other "sdcard_rw". If so, then the fix DID apply properly.
"root" shouldn't matter for this...
There is no change to the "platform.xml" after I installed the .zip under the recovery though it shows install completed. I even repeated it twice. It fails when I use ES file explorer to create a folder in ext. SD Card.
Then I rooted the device and manually modified the "platform.xml" (added the <group gid="media_rw" />), and it works now.
Yes I done the same after root, but I have to change the attribut ( sorry I' french) of "platform.xml" with Root explorer to write before (long press on the name), then I access to "platform.xml" with es file explorer to add the code line, save the file and reboot. and it works now (for model 6210)
"platform.xml" is at system/etc/permissions/
add
</permission name=android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Okay, if the attributes of the file aren't allowing writing, then I'm obviously not allowing for that in the package. It seemed like a reasonable assumption that the file was writable, being that it worked for so many people...
I wonder why samsung isn't being consistant with the file permissions. Well, that's something I can probably fix in an update. Not a big deal to change perms on a file.
(It's also not a high priority, as this is working for the majority of people without me tinkering with file permissions.)
take care
Gary
I have a P6200, no root and using stock recovery as of this writing.
I had a P6210 and I was able to fix External SD Card writing on it manually.
I tried the .zip in this thread and it didn't work on my P6200.
I am thinking it didn't because my device is either rooted, or using stock recovery.
I will root and perhaps install CWM, and test further.
My test was using ES Explorer to create a new directory in the SD card. It couldn't, so I'm pretty sure the fix didn't work with my particular configuration.

Wait... how can you get into /system/etc/permissions if you haven't rooted the device? I was of the impression that you can only access that directory if you are rooted. I certainly can't get there.
I was able to on my P6210 when it was rooted.

I didn't have to mount any folder to anywhere, just started the app, it shows a message that there's something wrong and the app might not work it asked me to apply a fix and restart... after restart I started the app again and it shows me another similar message.. I tapped fix and after restart it was working okay and Sygic worked normally...

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.

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?

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."

Hello, using KatKiss 4.4.4 #35 i'm unable to get a symlink to work correctly from /storade/sdcard1/Android/data/<name of a package> (source) to /data/media/0/Android/data/<package name>.
The symlink do works from the path "/data/media/0/Android/data/<package name>" with a file explorer, but the reflected view on "/sdcard/Android/data/<package name>" is treated as a file by every applications, including the file manager that doesn't know what to do with that file (but correctly recognize this is a symlink and not a folder physically created here) and the software that require that folder (crash because it reconize it as a file and not a folder, as it use the "/sdcard" path and not the "/data/media/0/")
This is not a permission problem on the source folder side, changed to 777 it still doesn't work.
The problem is not specific to KatKiss, but i'm giving the information in case someone have a workaround that works only on a specific fork.
The only working workaround i found is using XPosed, redirecting the calls to the /storage/sdcard1 directly, but this solution is too aggressive, i'm unable to move only a subfolder of that package's folder, i'm forced to move everything.
The mountpoint workaround is dirty, i'd rather not use that if possible.

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)

That's completely untrue. You can install recovery WITHOUT losing warranty and WITHOUT losing DRM keys

Just what I was about to say, check gieroot and nut dual recovery.
I going to check "nut dual recovery" i was not aware about this trick.
My phone is already rooted.

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.
