Hi,
I changed platform.xml file to give permission for writting to SD Card it was fine for some time but from now onwards when I restart my Mobile phone Or sometimes when I remount External SD Card so then I can delete and change files but for some little time or may be for a minute and then when trying to do more changes so then it don't works...Like works for first time and then it's not working..while the platform.xml is in good hands..I check that and no change occur there..like permission is always there for writting but it don't write to SD Card so please..I want to know that what is happening wrong in there?
I am using Samsung Galaxy Core 2 With Kit Kat Version 4.4.2 In Root Mode & With ES File Explorer as Root Explorer?
Regards,
Umair Shah

Whenever I try to edit files stored in my microSD card using any of my android devices it seems to be impossible. I suppose this has to do with my card being read-only...I tried to format once but it didn't work...How can I change that?
Is Your device rooted?
If it is i would suggest Superuser app to change files permissions.
Maybe You will find solution in here:

Did the platform.xml fix to enable external sd write, but then got "not enough space.
Hello all. I couldn't post this as a reply to anything (not enough posts) so I put a new thread here to share my experience for the possible benefit of others with the same problem.
I have a rooted T-Mobile Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition (SM-P607T) running stock kitkat 4.4.2 (uvuane2 fw). I did the platform.xml manual fix to enable external sd card writing, but in every file manager in which I tried to move a file (root explorer, ES, even TW My Files) only a few MB would move and then I would get an insufficient space error. I knew this couldn't be right as I was using a 32gig sandisk with almost nothing on it. I had previously used this card in my Note 2 SGH-T889 also running 4.4.2, which had created the "Android" and "lost.dir" folders on the card. I wondered if something in those folders was interfering with write, or perhaps a filesystem issue. So I formatted the external sd from settings and bingo, the write suddenly worked! Anyone have any thoughts as to how and why?
Cheers...Kittie
(Correction: In ES and My Files, I got insufficient space error, but in Root Explorer, I got the "restricted write access 4.4.2 nothing we can do etc." popup.)
Hi,
I am new to this forum..
I just bought a new Samsung Galaxy Core II and guess what it has Android 4.4 Kit Kat which has External SD Card Write Protected Feature..it's very annoying..I can'r write data to External SD Card..nor can delete anything from memory card...!
I have tried giving permission to it for writting through ES File Explorer and it worked like a charm at first when I restarted my phone for 1st time after giving writting permission to it so it was working fine but when I restarted my phone for 2nd time after that..it's all gone..now it is not allowing writting back again..I have even checked platform.xml in /root/system/etc/permissions/ and guess what it has already access to write to card i.e it has the code as under the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE :
Code:
<group gid="media_rw" />
but it's not working..so please needs your people help to fix it?
and one thing more please..My phone is in Root Mode..! so there won't be any problem regarding Root Mode..!
Regards,
Hi ev'body,
If I have no problem for writing on ext SD (Samasung 64Gb) with the stock apk "My Files",
when I try to do it with another file manager (ES explorer for example),
I'm asked to choose the root dir on the ext SD, but this one doesn't appear on the list!
Idem with other FM. Where is the bug?
Thanks for help

Having the same problem on a 6039Y
Someone said somewhere about having to name the sd card? But I haven't got round to trying it yet. Stock File Browser has no problems editing folders/files on external sd
Follow the instructions here on how to modify your platform.xml to re-enable write access for 3rd party apps: http://trendblog.net/fix-kitkat-sd-card-write-restriction/
To gm :
I also read this and I tried; after naming the card :no diff
To fw
Needs a rooted phone; mine's not
Thanks to both
Hello to everyone.
2 days ago I received via OTA samsung software update, everything goes well and the update installed succesfully. But yesterday I realized that I was unable to write data on the MicroSD card, my first finding was the camera, the storage switch to memory device when I took a picture, and when I tried to record a video, an error appears and the camera app close.
I tried to create a folder with the file manager but it's not possible, I can't create, edit or delete anything on the SD card, only read. I already tried to unmount and re-mount but not worked for me, also I executed a formating process but the problem still.
The SD Card on the PC works just fine.
Any suggestions to follow?
Thanks in advanced!
Best regards!
Hi. Try to copy all from a sd card to pc and do format in the phone. If the phone will see the card next copy all to sd card. Maybe it help.

bump an old thread, i'm confronting this problem, has a solution been found so far?
i did various searches and found the following links:
ExtSD Fix - a note in there says is Marshmallow is not supported yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/fix-extsd-fix-v1-0b-2016-01-18-t3296266
a web showing platform.xml fixes for 4.4 (K), however, it seem this same fix wouldn't fix S7 with MM
http://android-revolution-hd.blogspot.sg/2015/01/how-to-unlock-external-sd-card-writing.html
i tried searching for WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE apparently the string is not even found in platform.xml on S7 with MM
other threads from s7 edge highlighting a similar problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/phone-write-to-external-memory-t3385764
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/write-to-sd-card-t3328704
this workaround for titanium backup works and it is good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/external-sd-card-write-permission-t3341613
but it seemed most of other apps / file explorers with READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions still can't write to the external SD card
note that the stock 'My files' explorer can write / create folders in the SD card, but if u try a 3rd party app / explorer, nothing gets created on the SD card. This shows that it is a permission problem, perhaps "My files" has system permissions and not simply READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. But that would be 'overwhelming' for a file explorer app to get full unlimited permissions to all resources just to write files / create folders on the external sd card
has anyone successfully made external SD card writable by (older) 3rd party apps simply editing/adding entries in platform.xml?
i tried it didn't seem successful. note that since 4.4 (K) i'd think most apps / explorers has requested READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. the trouble is that with S7 MM and the recent update. it seemed even READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is not adequate to write / edit files on the external SD card, e.g. not possible to create a new folder on the external SD card
