Some of you have likely figured this out, but after spending a few minutes poking around ES File Explorer Pro and being unable to locate my 64GB SD card, I finally found the location.
From the root of Device Storage, go to /storage/. Your name will likely vary, but mine was found as /storage/6D31-DA1D.
Having an SD card in my work S5, it was much easier and just required looking for ExtSDCard under /mnt/.

Just to add, the same applies to a SD card attached using an OTG adapter as well. Not as much need to use OTG now except for those times when you just want to transfer something over quickly.

6D31-DA1D looks like the assigned serial number after the card is formatted. If that is true, then everyone will have to look for a different hex number for their card.
BTW is ES File Explorer allowed write access the SD card without root?

First time you try to write to the SD card, you get prompted to follow some steps. From there on, it can write to the card without error. Created a test folder and file on the root to verify.

So I gather that Marshmallow didn't inherit the Lollipop "Apps can't write to SD card" rule. That's good news. I prefer to transfer files from my PC to the phone via WiFi. Never made sense to have to use two file managers to copy files to the SD card.

They are restricted by default, but you can grant them access if they've been updated to know how to properly request it. Google made that change awhile ago, but most apps or OEMs never implemented it.
Root Explorer force closes on me upon tapping "select" to write to my SD card. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

This happened to me after running Package Disabler, also complete inability to write to SD card with ES, MI, or any other file explorer. Turns out Package Disabler flags External Storage(com.android.externalstorage) as bloatware and I had to make sure I unchecked and enabled it again.

Just tested on my phone and got the same FC after tapping SD Card. Root Explorer likely needs an update to resolve it.

I don't think Root Explorer is the issue because no file manager app I've tried allows me to write to the sd card.

Guys I saw somewhere on the forum or somewhere online that the wizard can be used like a removable drive but i lost the link. I tried searching the forums, but to no avail, can someone point me in the right direction once again?

It doesnt work, it says something about not being able to find the indicated storage card. How do i use this with my mini sd inside my G3 wizard? with WM6 "the real thing" flashed to it,
Its not working for me either... I copied the files from the compressed folder and into the root of my mini SD card and with the default settings I clicked "Activate" and I got the following error: "can't open the selected card/disk device". What am I missing?
try other version of wm5storage then... one of them must work.
and make SR after install to be sure, if its not working...
cannot check, but theres version, that works...1.73 works, i think:

Are you copying WM5torage to your SD Card? Try and copy into My Device\Prgram Files\WM5torage and then try and activate it... If I'm not mistaken access to the SD card is lost on the Wizard if you enable WM5torage.. Thus having the application installed on the SD card cannot grant access to the SD Card because WM5torage itself (or perhaps other apps) are currently hogging access to the SDCard

You've got both the WM5torage.exe AND the DLL and you installed from CAB and restarted as it demanded right?
yes I have both the .exe and .dll but I don't have a cab to install it and I did not restart.

Install it on the device. Not the storage card.
Like what was said by TipEx "Try and copy into My Device\Prgram Files\WM5torage and then try and activate it..."
i don't have cab to install it, i just copy it from the zip file to my device but it still doesnt work. do i start this before i connect a usb cable or while its connected?
Both order should not have problem.
However despite I can run wm5torage and connect to desktop successfully (Built into WM6 Underground), the connection is very slow (<20kb/s) and unstable (displaying I/O error while copying), I don't know what the problem is.

I'm trying to root and I'm following the guide posted for the BLK3 firmware (I'm on stock OTA Jellybean); I have two problems and am hoping someone can help: the first is that I don't know which folder is my SD card. Is it the SCH-I535 folder that appears when I plug in my phone that says "phone storage" and has several folders like: "DCIM, Alarms, etc," or is it the folder titled: "CD: G" that has a couple of Verizon apps on it? Also, when I tried to drag the SuperSU file and the Bootloader file into the SCH folder it wouldn't allow that--there was a black circle that popped up over the folder. I have USB debugging checked, btw. Of course, I also have MTP checked. Could that be a problem? If so, how do I uncheck it? It won't allow me to.
If you cant transfer the file to your phone just browse to the post on ur phone and download via your phone. Im to lazy to plug my phone into my computer personally so I just use dropbox to transfer anything I want to my phone, or airdroid if its a bigger file.
If I download them will they save to internal or external? That's my problem

So how do I get it into external? I don't see SD card 1 with file explorer (I can only see 0). Don't you need Root to see the other areas of the phone with root explorer? Also, I'm trying to do the root process, but I get stuck at the "Flash custom recovery" step. I've done it three times now, but no matter how many times I flash it (Odin says recovery imagine nand write start, RQT_Closem RES_OK, etc," and once I go back into Odin mode I don't see the custom recovery. :l
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/35/26062374.png/
I tried going to mnt > extSdcard > move file and it wouldn't allow that. .it's effectively locked down. >.< Should I try something other than ES file explorer?
Turns out it didn't have an SD card in. So I just put the one from my Rezound in--we should be good now. O:
It says "custom binary download: 4 counts;" which I know is because I've attempted to flash my custom recovery four times--but every time I reboot after doing that it still gives me the Samsung recovery. What to do?
Hi,
I have a Huawei G6 from China. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted it with vroot and installed SuperSU.
I can install GoogePlayStore and all kind of different apps from it. And they work mostly fine. But for some reason some apps show issues:
- I can't take a picture. It says "Storage full, install SD card". Although phone memory is still around 1 GB left.
- I can't open files from Dropbox. "Not enough memory, or storage full"
- ES File Explorer doesn't show local SD card
- Some apps, like Waze just won't run "Waze can't access your SD card. Make sure it isn't mounted". That one totally confuses me.
What's missing? How can I fix this?
If wrong sub-forum pls move this post accordingly.
Thanks
Andy

Ok I resolved as described in this thread, in this way obviously the phone became unrooted. I really don't know how the problems described can be caused by rooting it, how is it possible ?
Does the problem described depends on which method used to root the phone ? I used the towel application (last version) , is there any root method for G6 that doesn't lead to this issue ?
Why hallo there peeps!
I have rooted my Z3 and before that I copied everyting from the internal and SD card to my Macbook through Droid Nas and it worked flawlessy. The problem is to get it back... Is there no easy way to do it??? The infernal horror way of blocking writing to the SD card after Kitkat 4.4 is just pain in the ass :/
I have been searching and trying but havent found any easy way... Sofar the only way Ive found is to copy files to the internal and then copy it manually back to the SD card..
There has got to be a better way than this?
Install xposed and download the module kitkat sd card full access to fix

Have you tried just browsing a network share from File Commander and using that to copy directly to the SD card?
I haven't tried this yet myself, I just use USB to copy stuff as its faster but I think File Commander has better access to storage being the system file manager.
why not use a card reader for the sd card? the issue with kitkat was applications/data writing to the sd card unless the fix was applied, from what you are saying you are having issues copying from the computer to the sd card when its in the phone

Well I know that works but I want to get it working to copy directly to the phone the freedom and access ya know.
I tried last night with File Commander and it worked fine.
Set up a a share of the music folder on my HTPC.
I then used the Local Network function in File Commander with the following settings.
Domain: workgroup
Server: HTPC/Music/
User: (username)
Password: (password)
Server name is just the name of the network device and the name of the shared folder.
I was able to copy over folders of music from the HTPC to my phones SD card directly over wifi. It wasn't particularly fast though but both devices are on wifi.
File Commander could be a bit better at selecting multiple folders at a time though and whiles it's copying, you can't use the app for anything else.

Download FolderMount. Run it, grant it root access, and then let it patch the system to allow full write access to external storage. After the phone reboots and you've verified it works, you can uninstall FolderMount.
Finally got it working, checked out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811 and installed the Alpha release and it worked
So know I got Xposed working and all the mods I want, finally!
Thanks for all the help peeps! :good:

No this option that mensiona in that post is to use the SD as if the internal storage, what I want is to enable the option Write External Storage Android which is blocked from KK and LL but MM still do not know if already there an alternative to enable this function.
You get prompted when you go to write to the storage. You have to follow the file structure to open up the SD card, but once you do that, you can write to sd.

I think what he means is KK-style unrestricted R/W access to the SD card. SDFix might still work, but it hasn't been updated since 2014 and requires root.
In reality though if you enabling full R/W on portable storage breaks Android's use model. The proper way to go about this is to use adoptable storage, which isn't supported out of the box on TouchWiz but can be enabled in CM13.

For Titanium back up, do the following...
open TiBackup
Menu
Preferences...
Backup folder location
Right above the "Detect!" click on "Storage provider:..."
Select DocumentProvider storage
Now you can click on Internal storage and change to SDcard1
Then select "Detect!"
Hopefully that's what you are looking for.

Thanks friend is right this kind of write access is the desire to enable MM 6.0.1 exactly as that application was previously used in KK and LP. But now I manage to get this kind of access.
