Simply place the file in your sd card.
Root..... Think of a Plant The root is where it all starts, simply this is on your sd card (i.e not in a folder e.t.c) sdcard/

Link2SD, FolderMount, and Root Explorer is 100% broken and not working.
If it can't be remedy anyone got a good guide to safely downgrade my phone without erasing my files?

Sounds like you may not be properly rooted. I am on 4.4.4 rooted and i installed the same sdfix app you mentioned and my 3rd party apps have write permissions to sd card.

Thanks for the response --- I followed the thread -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784900 for rooting my phone --- do you have any advise to re-root? or diff. way to root our phone... I checked root checker and it appears normal but you might be correct.

Try this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2807092
Best solution for rooting but firstly install new rom 4.4.4 unbranded generic and try this method this is one click method from @munjeni my favorite method. After that you will have root and buaybox and recovery. And after this flash again sdfix and try to move sth to exsd

You can try what mosespl mentioned, or you can try easy root tool again (that's what I used and it worked the first time). I saw a lot of people in the easy root tool thread were "half" rooted, or things appear to be rooted but SuperSU failed up update binaries because r/w on system was missing (or something like that, I'm a bit new to all this as well).

try flash this patch in recovery to disable RIC if your rom support init.d ... if not, you can also use script manager to give it(99diasbleric) ROOT permission and set it to run at boot.

Test your old sdcard with a card reader on PC to check if the card is real defective.
Yesterday I put a microsd in z1c and it just can't mount but the card just working fine in windows. At last, I used a USB OTG Cable to connect the card reader with the microsd card and z1c asked me to format it this time and the sd card working fine after that.

I actually tested it in Windows and Linux OS -- its 100% broken unfortunately, anyways thanks -- hope I can avail the warranty for this sdcard.

External SD Access

I've recently switched to an M8 from a Z2 and am no stranger to the roadblock that is the External SD access issue, but can't seem to find a solid fix for the HTC One.
Have spent the evening unlocking the bootloader an rooting only to have some strange issues. It seems that whenever an app attempts to write to the system the phone reboots. This means I can't install NextApp SD Fix or make changes to the platform.xml file since they send me into a reboot.
Additionally, removing system apps with Titanium backup doesn't stick as after a reboot they all reappear.
My question is, am I missing something that is causing these problems and is there a fix for the external SD problem?
Thanks

You need a kernel module:

Or a custom kernel.

Thanks BenPope. Gave it a try but can't get it to work. Have asked for help in the thread.

SM-T805 just won't let edit files on SD

Just purchased my galaxy tab s. When I found out how it behaves with external memory rooted it at once, did the thing for read/write permissions, disabled this weird safety feature and... It does not alow editing files to any program which causes a big problem when I try to use "iGO" navigator for example which keeps its files on SD, or use some office program to edit any content on SD... It does alow creating and deleting files though.
Any ideas? Many thanks in advance!

I guess it's a kitkat problem. I heard in lollipop google returned to full read write access to SD cards.

Or try using a custom kernel

Sorry i meant try a custom kernel. Skyhigh kernel fixes sd problems. I am running it now and it does work. Perhaps you can try that?

I only found topics about sd r/w problems where they say that I need to root and run some code (or edit some file manually) to fix permissions. Well I did it... But I couldn't find anyone talking about editing... I can get around that by saving an edited file in diferent name, deleting the original and renaming it back to original... But programs I try to use does not do tricks like that :silly:
Was your problem similar? Any links regarding the fix of this?

Well I have always ran skyhigh kernel for my sd card. Even if rooted with the sd fix my sd card still worked fine(on stock rom). Perhaps it could be the file manager your using? Well i also seen the r/w fix by editing a file but that was months ago and I forget how to do it. Sometimes sd fix app would say its fixed, but it wasnt. So using another app from the playstore could fix it? Hope this helps

The file seems to be edited properly but none of programs are able to edit files. Biggest problem at the moment that iGO won't save its configuration and shut down when a route is entered. I assume it is because of unability to edit files in sd also

cannot write to external sd....lollipop and marshmellow....

Plz help me....I cannot write or delete file from extsd card....i used marshmellow when i found it out....nd reverted back to lollipop (teamask) in hope that the prob will be solved but it didnt.....i used xda nd found out about an app named sd fix or something like that....nd when i used the app it showed that i already have the write permission.....nd hence there was no need to edit some file in the permission folder.....plz find a solution for me....i am not able to jse the phone......
P.s. tried flashing with fastboot rom nd then flashing lollipop....but again the same result....nd the thing is that i have been using this rom (both lollipop and M) before but havent faced issue like this.....
