Copying files to Sd Card

I am not able to copy or transfer files from internal storage to Sd Card, files such as WhatsApp databases, or other app related files.
Only media files are getting copied.
I guess this has to do with kit kat enforcing changes vis-a-vis the sd card.
Is there any workaround for this?
Please help.

Any help?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app

Same for me.
My phone is not rooted.
I tried with 2 different sd cards (even formated by m8 himself !) .
I can move an app using htc integrated tool.
BUT
I can't move or copy ANY file from internal memory to ext_sd card.
I CAN copy files from ext_sdcard to internal memory !!!
Any help ?

System is read/write protected via kernel...need to search threads and install the disable write protection module then make your changes to the platform.xml file and then it should stick

It's so...stupid ! How will average joe doe ? And why such a protection ?!
Just a question : do i need to root to apply your method ?
Because for the moment i am in 10 days trying period and i don't want to root...

After obtaining ROOT privileges, you can modify the system \ etc \ permissions \ platform.xml file to achieve.

Thank you.
So , the sd card is useless for 90 % of people who are not rooted ? Or have i missed something ?

Root will not stop the device from reverting changes after a reboot, the module needs to be installed alongside of root for changes to system to stick...Blame Google for the changes in how the sdcard security is [email protected] being able to copy from device to sdcard except via computer

Yes root is needed,average joe wouldnt know..lol...no [email protected] they decided to do things this way...same protection was on the One Max as well....

Ill assume the way they see it the majority of consumers connect to computer,transfer files and do not transfer files to sdcard while on the phone...So no the sdacrd works as it should, connected via a computer....

Ok guys,
Has somebody successed to Move an app + DATA (data is the heavier thing!) to sd card and make the app or game work properly ?
I read it is possible but i was unable to do it.
I moved the app to sd with htc gestionnary and THEN moved the data folder using my PC , to sd card...
ALL is on sd card but when i run the app it doesnt work and wants to dowload data again ... BUT the data are really on sd card i see them.
For info i tried with mappy gps free and asphalt 8 without success...

[Q] Recover Internal Storage (wiped)

Hey everyone.
I'm one of the lucky few that had internal sd wiped during the process of upgrading from NB4 to NE6.
Yes, totally my fault, as I should have backed up my internal. But I didn't.
To compound it, my nandroid backed up to internal rather than external sd (DOHHH).
Needless to say, I haven't written over the wiped internal, and I know there's a way to recover the deleted files (and nandroid)-- I just haven't done it on the Note 3 yet.
There are multiple guides out there on recovering internal storage by using cygwin, creating a raw image of the internal, mounting it as a drive, and using software like recuva. This is the guide I'm loosely following, however, our data block is in a different location. I believe 25, from what I can tell. This is the guide I'm using right now.
My Desperate Questions
Has anyone been able to recover their wiped internal storage on the Note 3, specifically?
Is our data partition at dev/block/mmcblk0p25 ?
Does anyone recommend any other methods of doing this?
Any help totally appreciated.
Where I am now:
I've been running Recuva for the past 4 hours which apparently doesn't recognize a drive connected through MTP. I tried something tricky and it appears to be running. But, given the status it reports (pretty much nothing), it could just be scanning my computer.
Concurrently, I'm trying the guide I linked up there. I have root, and busybox installed (to system/bin), but adb keeps disconnecting when I get to the "adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555" step, and device keeps going offline.

You can't access the media through MTP. MTP is sort of like FTP -- files are transferred from one system to another and presented by the receiver as if they were local. You could work with the media if you install a modified kernel and used UMS.
The first thing you should do is copy the media image to a removable SD card so you can use a desktop computer, and also to make a backup. With the image on a micro-SD card you could then continue to use your phone while you recover the data. I'm new to Linux but I think 'dd' from a device will copy everything, not just listed files. Put a 32GB micro SD in the slot and try this and see what it looks like:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk... of=/dev/block/mmcblk1
Note that I did not include the full path to the internal SD -- I don't happen to have that handy while I'm in this reply editor on my device.

Don't forward anything in ADB, just go straight to the file system:
adb shell

Thanks so much for your response. With a little digging (a lot of digging) I confirmed it was partition 25, but found no reference to it in my device.
I grabbed an app called DiskDigger where the data partition is identified under:
/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata
I'm using cygwin right now to copy that partition to a userdata.raw file (on my computer) which I can hopefully mount using VHD, and then use Recuva to salvage the data. I'll find out in a couple hours if that worked. And if not, I'll definitely go grab a bigger SD card and follow your recommendation.
Question. Once copying the full partition to the SD card, what would you use to extract the data and restore it to the internal SD?

I have not lost anything important enough to go to the trouble of disk-digging, so I have no experience with it.

I just took a quick look at the guide you referred to and using that procedure you will need to forward a port to ADB. I don't know why that procedure, maybe it's necessary for cgwyn.
Also in that thread is a comment that the procedure won't work on devices which can't use UMS. The Note 3 can't use UMS unless you've installed one of the kernels which enable it.

[Q] downloaded songs,pictures etc not showing in gallery and music player?

How long has this been the case? Sometimes, it just takes a while for the system to rescan for new media. But if its been a long time, than something isn't right.
Have you tried to reboot?

Try this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=card.rescan.radeff&hl=en

If you search for "scan media" on the Play Store, you will find a few apps that do just that, and might help. Can't vouch for any of these myself, but I think I've seen others here suggest them.

Ahh, beat me to it while I was typing! :good:

i did a factory reset and still problem is there and then i tried scan media app it didn't work either....i am out of ideas ..please help me??

Have you try clearing data for both gallery and music app ?
Settings - Apps - All - "the app name" - clear data then reboot.
Also you can try :
If they are on you external sd, transfer them to PC and format your external sd then transfer them back to external sd.
and :
If they are on internal sdcard, transfer them to PC and delete the whole folder, reboot then transfer them back to sdcard.

i tried clearing data and then rebooted it didn't work. Also i don't have a external sd....
Please help me

[Q] HELP! Internal Storage Write Protected, Unable to modify and change

Hey guys. I'm very familiar with android and it's processes but I have stumbled onto something that I cannot solve... My Internal SD Card has somehow made it self write-protected.... even to my PC! I can't save anything to my internal SD card at all. All camera apps, with the exception of the stock samsung camera set to ext-sd store mode works. If the other camera apps don't have that option, I can't use it. I can't download anything from the web (it will automatically say download unsuccessful and even ODIN can't touch it (I tried to ODIN back to stock NK3... and it partially worked... except that I still have all my downloaded apps installed)
Here's what happened.
The problem started when I was on DomPop v0.1.3 (5.0.2) It started with me not being able to take a screenshot, which I fixed.
Then I flashed PAC-Man RLS 3 (12312014) and that's when I noticed that I can't save any downloads to my internal SD card.
So I recovered to my saved rooted stock NB1... Still no avail and this is where I found out that my 3rd party cameras don't save anymore.
I've done everything from flashng a new ROM, flashing a new recovery, ODINing back to stock... nothing seems to work! And I'm slowly starting to lose space on my ext-sd soo any help would be appreciated by this chic. Thanks in Advance
PS
As of the time I wrote this, I have ODINed 3x now... still, every time I reboot, I still have my downloaded apps... it's as if my /data partition is write protected from ODIN too!

This happened to my SM-N900T when I installed a custom Recovery which contained the wrong '/sepolicy_version' for my device. The Recovery developer fixed the file but I had to format '/data' after installing it to get files with the correct policy.

In your root directory, '/se_policy' should look like this, but notice that this is Android 4.3:
VE=SEPF_SM-N900T_4.3_0002
HS=7708d6f9dfc68813c4dddb915812c67b
HA=7136aebc8fc8205ec9adde19ca84e501

HF=852e176fdcb7a45fc1617bd4e93c2bf9
HM=7bd39dbe5813e94be374bee74d87bf0c
If it shows the wrong device then you can probably fix it by flashing the correct TWRP. And you will probably have to format '/data'.

Huh... I now I remember... I was on TWRP when the problems started... I'm on Philz now and I still have it. Would this fix the write protected internal SD card issue too?

That looks like the same problem and a much simpler solution, but make sure you have a good policy file first.
Frank
---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ----------
Up above I use two filenames, '/sepolicy_version' is the correct name of the file. In my case TWRP had the wrong '/sepolicy_version' until the developer fixed it. I still recommend installing the most recent TWRP to get all the right files -- make sure it's the right version (4.3 or 4.4) -- then run restorecon. Then after the fix, return to Philz if you want.
Frank

Did your phone die @deBricker or did this solve the problem? Other people might be waiting with the same problem.
Frank

No. Had to go in recovery and wipe my internal memory (lost everything since I was stupid enough not to make an updated backup... my last one was a month ago) after that, it's been smooth sailing.

I didn't even see that post until today.
