Does any one of you guys who tried out the official OTA update (that is, if it ever rolled out on your end) have an issue with the SD card being read-only? I've read that those flashing the SP Flash Tool image end up getting the external SD locked out from having write access. I'd like to try out the ROM for myself as I, too, am struggling with the touch panel, yet I wouldn't want to root it either as my tablet's still under warranty.
To sum things up, is it normal for the Lollipop ROM to have restricted SD card access?

As much as I hate Kingoroot, try rooting it with that tool and then use one of those Kitkat SD fixes floating around the Play Store. Cracktech also has those pre-fixed ROMs but you might want to contact him in order to get it.

Hello,
I have got my TF300T for about a week now and i already used up 9,5gb from the 16gb it has so i bought a sd card just to find out you cant move apps to sd card(so far i know). so i did a little more research and found out that you can move apps to sd when your tablet is rooted, but i am a little scared that i am gonna wreck my tablet when i do that because i read that many people stumble on bricked tablets, and because i have never rooted anything before.
do you guys think i should root my tablet?
and when i root my tablet do i have to instal roms and all that stuff basicly all i want to do is move apps to sd.
or does someon knows a way of transferring apps to sd card without rooting
sorry for my bad grammar
ps: Does someon has a link to a dummy guide for rooting
Rooting is very easy, people have bricked their tablet because of a bad flash: this requires unlock, root doesn't, just download motochopper extract it, on your device go to settings>developer options and enable USB debugging (if you are on android 4.2 you have to go to: settings>about tablet>press build number about 10 times>developer options>enable USB debugging)
Now connect your tablet to your PC and go to the directory where you extracted motochopper and open run.bat (windows) and press any key
Done your tablet should be rooted

I think i am gonna root my tablet.
Do you have any recommended apps i should use for moving apps to sd or meaby some other usefull apps?
One last question is there anything i should watch out for when i rooted my tablet?
I would suggest reading EVERYTHING about rooting your tablet and flashing a recovery. I would also recommend using TWRP as your recovery.
The 2 apps I use the most are Titanium Backup and Root Explorer.
Again, I cannot express how important it is to READ ALL of the info related to rooting and flashing a recovery. This section is filled with threads people have posted because they have bricked their tablets rendering them totally useless.
Good luck!
Added. A recovery is not needed but highly recommended. Your choice.

Thanks for the help
I successfully rooted my tablet
but i am stuck with a problem and that is moving apps to sd
the apps that i have seen so far are:
- link2sd ( don't really know if i should use this because u need to 2 partitions on your sd and people lose data all the time)
- GL to SD ( does not show all my games)
if someon knows a good app for this that would be great

You need different kernel because stock doesn't support overclocking, for which you need to have custom recovery which obviously needs unlock, so, sadly no... but rooting allows you to customize your CPU freqs., turn off some CPU cores for battery saving,...

Tnx for your answer. Could you please tell me if i root by this method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228613),
how and which custom rom is best for my tablet? I am on stock, 4.2.1
Any step by step info would be aprishiated, beucose i am LOST by all this topic and info, by being beginer.
This is NOT an issues with your LG device, rather it was a decission made by Google that will most likly be fixed in Android L.
If you're rooted or plan on rooting your G3, this app from the Play store will easily fix access for you.
This app is what I used and it worked fine within seconds. However if you would rather do this manually, follow these steps:
I use Root Explorer , however, most any file manager should work.
System>etc>permissions>platform.xml
Then add the following, to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE section.=:

Thanks Tony! And sorry about the S4 again
SD Fix
I just rooted and used one of the SD fix apps. It's easy and you can always flash back to stock rom, if you need to.

This version (AT&T) has no alternative roms. Please don't confuse the issue by saying "flash back to stock rom".
Glad this helped you with your sd card.
I think he was referring to flashing the stock Rom with flash tool to reset the root counter
Yep there is a stock Rom and you flash it with LG flash tool. Don't see anything confusing about what I said. If it confused someone then they can ask questions

While stock firmware is a rom, it is best to call it firmware. this is mainly for the sake of new users becoming confused and looking for roms to flash. This would be where one need go, in the case of any mishap.:good:
This all said, rest assured to those looking at this thread, using one of the apps from the market will not corrupt your system.
What sd card problem is it? I just bought it last week so I am not aware of it. And Google Play is link not working.
Copied from androidcentral
Why your SD card doesn't work the same in Android 4.4 KitKat, and the reasons for the change
"Curse you, Google! Your KitKat update broke my SD card!"
Poke around the Android section of the Internet and you'll hear something similar. Users like you and me are in an uproar because they updated their phone to Android 4.4 KitKat, and now the SD card support has changed. Apps no longer work, folks have problems with cameras and music players, and while everyone else is saying "Oh, yeah. That's how it works now," nobody warned them in advance before they grabbed that update.
There is a lot of push against these changes, with petitions and threats of grassroots movements that threaten to show Google the error of its ways — even a very popular developer that I won't name has their PR people sending out requests for blogs to write about evil Google.

I got this alcatel a564c from tracfone and wondered if anyone has rooted this phone? I have seen some old threads asking about it but not much about developing.
I have tried kingo root and I am trying others but other posts have said none work. The last one in November.
I am interested in any info on finding an exploit that I could test out. I dont have experience developing a root but I could learn.
Thanks!
Try the framaroot application. That application works for many devices. My Alcatel got rooted too

Using x-plore file manager you can download movies and what not to sd card. I have this phone and have downloaded numerous movies and software directly to sd card. Something about backdooring kitkat, this may or may not help with rooting but it does help to eliminate the 4gig headache.
I have set all the download locations to my 16gb sd card. But installed apps use only the 4gb provided. I have a tendency to fill that. There are also some issues with the default apps setting getting reset. And I can not use google voice over wifi without a cell connection.

No, seeing the root of the SD card does not mean that you have root access to Android itself

It's crazy that as long as this phone has been out......there's still no root for it. It's a shame that Google decided to "fix" the security issues that most of us never even knew existed by limiting what we can use as default app storage with no way to bypass the restriction unless you have root access. Hopefully someone comes up with the solution soon or I'll be thinking of exchanging my Alcatel A564C for something I can actually use.
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.

Have you flashed new firmware ?
New kernels (boot.img) have default ro acess to sdcard !
Please state your infos :
Model
Modem
Core build ...
The workaround I provide for this type won't work after update !!!
You will have to flash previous boot or recompile the new boot

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.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

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
explorer. They both can't copy/paste files to Memory card.
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.

The users in this forum don't know how to read posts. U'r among them too. Sorry for my statement, but it's true.
It's not only the explorers,apps or managers that can copy files from/to. The KitKat have a fix for KitKat SDCard ro access.

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.
Latest firmwares uses some extra functionality regarding SDCards, fix will not work unless ...
Enjoy.

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:

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.
Hi,
I found the guide here on how to root my Acer Iconia Tab 8. But since I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers compared to you guys, I got a bit confused on the instructions. When I launched the launcher.bat or whatever it was, I typed in what was necessary but then it said that the adb was killing. Is there a fix to that? Also, if someone could explain the instructions to me in a simpler and more detailed way, then that would be great.
Thanks

Then check it in device manager for your device... What it says...if it has a exclamation sign...then drivers are not properly installed or matched...
If not... Then enjoy...
