Hi, guys. I have stock rom, unlocked bootloader, rooted and TWRP recovery. Unforunately, I cannot set Titanium Backup to use my external SD card. It said It's not writeble. Rom version is 1.54. I've try to format the card few times, but no luck. No problem for camera app to save pictures there, only TB have this issue. Any suggestions?

You will also need system write protection off to keep that, so would recommed via that recovery.
You can also push the file manually
adb shell
mount /system
push platform.xml /system/etc/permissions/
Doesn't work. I tried to change Platform.xml, but after reboot it's going back to previous state.
Do it from recovery.
Sdfix app worked for me

I downloaded SDFIX from the play store, reboot, when back to titanium backup, hit menu, general, go down to backup location, press the back button until you see mnt section, click on it, you'll see external sd, click on it, create folder & boila!! Hope it works for you
HTC does not allow writing to the /system partition unless from recovery. To disable this, flash a kernel w/ the protection disabled http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705613 Or you can manually install this module: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701816 After installing either of these, you can use any app posted above to gain write access to external sd.
(FYI the writing to sd card was disabled by google in recent versions of kitkat for all devices)

Tried all that, but even tho titanium reckons that sdcard2 is writable (don't get the red no write message) as soon as I try to back something up I get a not enough storage space error message (and yes I have enough space, over 11GB on external card.)

Hi there.
I also tried your's and many other steps.
In the end it was a simple thing for me.
Went: >Settings>Storage>standard storage>choose "sdcard"
That's it.
After a restart, ii was not even necessary to choose sdcard in TB.
Changed to it itself.

Nothing above worked for me. It was frustrating when all other relevant apps could write to the extsd card including file explorer programs.
Anyway loaded Xsense (Xposed) module which has a setting "RW to extSD card", ticked it, rebooted and bingo. Backing up to extSD card as I'm typing this.

What is going on with this. I am on caulkins el29.
I have just installed it and I wanted to put Digitalclock.apk back on the phone.
I tried one I downloaded.
I tried one that was in my apps backup..
I tried one that was in uninstalled system apps.
Nothing works.
I even tried pulling my external sd card. I tried installing with the cable plugged in.
I tried unmounting and reformatting my sd card.
Nothing will get this stupid app to install. I have now dedicated 4 hours to trying to install a clock.
Does anyone have an idea of what is happening? I am on an epic touch, rooted with caulkins el29

That's the only thing you didn't say you did, wipe cache and dalvik, reflash the rom, don't wipe data. It'll be back on there no problems.

OK, went into recovery. Wiped cache and dalvik cache. Reinstalled the rom.
Same thing. None of the apk's on the sd card will install.
I've used root explorer to copy and paste it into system apps. Changed permissions to rw-r-r and sometimes need to reboot.
I have the version from an ics theme that has the green replaced with blue.

Well that didn't work... I see a lot of posts from people about this issue, but no one seems to know what's going on.
I don't know then. I'm on Caulkins ICS and have just copied it over.
May be stupid question as I'm sure you've tried everything but did you try deleting the old first?
Sorry it didn't help.
none of the system apks (put in the uninstalled folder) will install.
stuff on the market installs fine.
Gotta get root explorer bro, always works for me use the same method with it and be sure to toggle read/write settings, if not, make sure you have full root access and not partial, you may want to reflash the rom too.
Getting errors while trying to install apks from the Removed_App/system_app folder on the Bare ROM?
Be sure to install them through ADB, root explorer, etc. Don't try to install them by clicking on it like you would a normal apk
Ex. ADB command
Code:
remount rw
cat /sdcard/Removed_Apps/system_app/App.apk > /system/app/App.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/App.apk
chown 0.0 /system/app/App.apk
reboot
Copied straight from Calk.
i have the same issue, some of the stuff from titanium back up wouldn't install, and the same files won't install from the market either.
these are some of the stuff i've tried but yet failed
1. wipe cache and delvic
2. tried on other ics roms
3. formated sd card.
4. rebooted the phone.
it justs says, couldn't install on usb drive or sd card.
I would really like a fix.
it happened ever since I've install ICS. i do not feel like going back to GB
1. because of chances of bricking.
2. because it's a hassel.

Sorry, Titanium Back Up..= tbu.
Open Titanium, menu, prefrences, scroll down to "App Processing Mode"
Once you open it there are 3 choices. Direct, Indirect and a third I cantt remember.
The FAQ for Titanium recommends indirect if you have problems during restore (like it hangs).
Not sure this will help. Did for me on an app so thought I would offer.

While trying to update my titanium Backup, I receive this message.
"Batch Backup interrupted: Insufficient free storage space"
I am backing up to my external SD card, and have over 23GB of free space. Titanium Backup has been working fine since I updated to 4.2.2 and just today for the first time generated this error.
Has anyone seen this before. I will try deleting the backup folder and generating a complete backup. I will off load my TI backup to my desktop before deleting the folder on the ext SD card.
The problem was that somehow the ext SD card got mounted as R/O, so just changed to R/W and all is fine.
Not sure what app did that, but will look about.

I am not certain on the Note 8 as I am a Droid person. However, I am rooted and used my file manager to change from R/O to RW. Not sure how to do this if you are not rooted.
Here's the fix!

Just an FYI, same thing happened to me today. It ended up being a permissions problem for me too. I used Root Explorer to add write back to my backup directory and all is fine now.

I use TiBu to store to uSD myself. Root Explorer navigates to uSD click the + key to create a folder and name it whatever you wish. Do the preference deal then use the back key to navigate to that folder you created (wherever it may be). Select if then the setting will be saved when you reboot TiBu.
The above fix did not work for me. I have TiB pro installed on my rooted stock Samsung D710. TiB says that my 32GB external card is not writable. According to ES file explorer, it is. How do I fix this conflict? The last backup that I know of is over a week old.

Hi to all I have encountered the same issue with insufficient storage space in my Nexus 7 2012 3g after the last update to v.6.1.5.1. I have tried the preferences fix and nothing happened, I have also created a new folder and used it as a new backup location and still no fix. I have even uninstalled the app and the pro key, rebooted and re-installed both and still the issue persists.I have checked the permissions on the folders used thru root explorer and total commander and they were both read and write ticked...
I also fixed permissions of the app thru ROM toolbox pro, I cleared thru app management in settings the cache of the app....
I have even ensured that the Superuser setting is set to apps and adb. Any ideas on how to proceed??? I start to feel a bit stupid (besides irritated!)
Note that after the last update the app is working great in my GNex but not in my N7 2012 3g so what is the issue??
I thank you in advance for any reply...
and yes I know that this sub forum is for another device but I am getting desperate...

1. In TitaniumBackup press menu, then press preferences under the general section.
2. Next, under backup protection settings, press backup folder location.
3. When the new menu appears, press back to get to a file browser. It should say something like /storage/emulated/0 for the path.
4. Press back again and then select legacy, so the path is now /storage/emulated/legacy
5. Then scroll to your TitaniumBackup folder and select it.
6. Then press use the current folder, and press yes when the popup appears.
Then try doing your normal backup procedure.

What I got to work was basically following the steps above, but I created a new folder for my backups (/storage/emulated/legacy/TiBak) and it fixed my issue.
I found out the reason for Ti Backup not able to backup on SD card...
The fix that everyone is using, points Ti Backup to the internal storage. Which fixes the issue by routing the backups away from SD card.
Depending on version of Ti Backup and how you shut down or end Ti Backup, Android will mess up the file system of your SD card. The only way to fix the issue, is to unmount and remove the SD card and fix the SD card's filesystem on a laptop or computer.
I had an issue once with an older version of Ti backup... about a month ago. Since I have a lot of data and files on my 64GB exfat SD card, I take it out and do a few maintenance tasks time to time. Once I found the file fragments that were crosslinked and removed them Ti Backup found my folder and was able to perform all its functions.
Until the developer of Ti Backup has a better way of controlling background processes to be shutdown gracefully during exit, this can be problematic for some.
I made a backup with CWM.
The tar-file must be there because free memoryspace dropped by 2.6Gb.
But where is the tar?
There is no backup-folder in Clockworkmod.
Anyone an idea?
check into /storage/emulated/clockworkmod or similar path.
i don't remember very well.
I use "backup to external sdcard" so save nandroid backup into external sdcard.

I don't know. Here i connect the phone to pc, and i can write directly to sdcards.
You can use "wifi file transfer" app, if you don't resolve this problem.
I still can't find it.
/data/
there is no media folder under data in my phone.
I searched for *.tar using ES explorer from the root of the phone, and still nothing shows up.
From CWM, I can see the ROM I've backed up and I'm also able to restore that ROM.
I'm using CM13 with ext SD card as internal storage setup. Is that why?
Can someone point me to right direction in finding the backed up ROM plz?
Searched and found some info on the above in regards to other phones, but the solutions did not work for this phone (or maybe just for me):silly:
Rooted with Towelroot, and Chainfire for the Superuser last week. Installed TiB, and checked in one of its menus to use the external SD card for automatic backups (I believe).
So, I perform a full backup of all apps and data, but I had been having issues with a bad install of Go Launcher so I decide to do a phone reset (to KK 4.4.2) and restore with a fresh OS.
Upon reboot, the phone automatically Dl'ed all of my Google info and apps, contacts, and everything, all by itself. When the phone rebooted, I was surprised to see that I still had root, but without SU. Did another restore just to be sure and reinstalled Towelroot manually. There must have been an update to it since last week as the SU was automatically installed this time and I had SU without needing to install Chainfire. I reinstalled TiB and attempted to do a TiB restore, but learned that all of my backup info had been stored on the INTERNAL SD card and it was all wiped with the phone restore.
So, I go back into TiB settings and try to redirect the storage location to the EXTERNAL SD card by hitting the back button when looking at the file structure, but when I get to the external card, TiB says it's not writable. Some other phone threads mentioned to use the MNT directory but that didn't work either.
So, after all the above, can anyone either talk me through how to get TiB to store externally, or possibly would you provide a link if you know of a thread that allows it to work with our phones (E980 on AT&T). I've tried a few things mentioned on different threads but none of it seems to work!
Strange, I always use the TB for my backups and I have 3 automatic settings and does everything on the SD card without problem. I do not think there is a tutorial for that friend, you already have a backup folder? to copy to the SD memory and let that TB to detect it automatically. Sorry for my poor english

Thanks for the info. I followed the link and tried to modify the platform.xml file but the 3 file editors I used would not save the changes. I kept getting errors. Then I saw a link to an app in the app store, tried it and it worked perfectly!!! It modified the platform.xml (and saved the changes, which I was unable to do). The only thing I then had to do was go back into TiB and manually create a "Titanium Backup" folder in "/storage/external_SD".
I ran a backup and checked the SD card and the backup is there where I had hoped it would be.:good:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
I had the exact opposite experience. The app didn't work for me so I just manually edited the file with Root Explorer. Glad your issue is resolved.
Using TWRP today I wiped dalvik and cache, then fix permissions. On reboot, apps see internal storage as read-only. For example backup folder settings in Titanium show internal as non-writable, but external is OK. Swiftkey can't update language modules. Other apps have similar problems, think a permission is messed up, anyone know a fix? Thanks.
I had this issue and the only fox was to wipe using kies and not root. When I started using root and xposed, etc, that's when that started occurring.
Been rooted, xposed running with wanam, external card writable, phone running fast, still running well with no lag. Believe it's a simple permission issue messed up fixing permissions in TWRP. Might have to just Odin stock and start over.

I would recommend posting this question in the TWRP thread. I just had the same problem after wiping and fixing permissions. I even tried restoring the backup I made before hand with no luck.
There is also a kit kat fixer app in the play store that will make the SD card writable for apps. You need root though.
I had to use kies to wipe the phone, rerooted, now it works fine.

Follow those instructions. But I think you have to start clean.
Used the full tar with Odin from shabbypenguin, my apps remained, cf-root, then flashify TWRP, all is well again. Just won't fix permissions in TWRP until corrected.

As Darkman mentioned, there is a fix for the SD card issue in the Play store, called NextApp SD Fix. After having just attempted an unsuccessful Titanium Backup of my Note 4 to a "not writable" SD card, I searched and found a posting about this fix and just finished installing it. After a reboot, problem solved! The fix does require a rooted phone, so if you're unwilling to forsake your warranty, given rooting will trip the Knox flag, then you'll have to deal with the frustration of keeping some space free in device memory for apps that would otherwise use the SD card, and move files to it manually as needs dictate.

As Darkman mentioned, there is a fix for the SD card issue in the Play store, called NextApp SD Fix. After having just attempted an unsuccessful Titanium Backup of my Note 4 to a "not writable" SD card, I searched and found a posting about this fix and just finished installing it. After a reboot, problem solved!

To clarify, fixing permissions in TWRP makes INTERNAL non-writable, external works fine, the app you mentioned fixes external SD card write permissions.
Oops...attack of tunnel vision. Thanks William.
I have the same problem. =(
(But actually I'm using a Galaxy S4, SGH-I337M. Exact same problem)
I flashed an AOSP ROM then restored my Stock TouchWiz backup. From now, the apps can't write to the internal storage
I did fixed the permissions but when the problem started to occur. I don't remember having fixed the permissions before the problem showed up.
So restoring factory from Odin would do it?
Then can I restore my current TWRP backup, or will the problem show up again? Is this happening exclusively with "Fix Permissions" ?
Thank you very much
EDIT: This fix worked =) Even if it was intended for the Note 3 and I have S4.

Thanks again
App only read
How to make data from one app to be permanent, and they can not be erased with factory reset? it's possible?
For those having issues with TB, have you tried this option:
Storage Provider: Document Storage Provider
That should fix the R/W issues to the SD card.
Also, I believe MM has the SD card as read-only as a default. You'll have to go into app permissions to allow access to the SD card on a per app basis if you're not prompted for it. I had that issue with Hangouts where I wasn't able to change the notification sounds and I tinkered around with the app permissions and enabled access to the SD card and fixed my issue.
