External SD Access - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
Additionally, I have solved my issue for external SD write access by following the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54696085&postcount=13

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.

[Q] Can only create folder through "My Files"?

I have rooted and have disabled most of the recommendations listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/debloating-t2805503

Sorry I don't think I was clear. This is not to my external sd card but to the actual storage on my device (or maybe that did happen for others)? I checked out that thread, downloaded the "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD", rebooted and still does not work. I am attempting the wanam xposed fix but whenever I attempt to use the xposed installer, it can't extract (due too inability to write to disk). Is there a way to install xposed via odin?
Thank you for the response. I am new to rooting and Android in general, but I am trying!

Not sure on what your issue might be, but I just tried using ES File Explorer, and I could create a new folder in the SD0 (internal) directory, without issues. So perhaps try with another file manager like ES.

Okay update time. I attempted both Root Browser and ES File Explorer.. Root browser did the same thing as ASTRO, which was that after I attempted to create a folder/file clicked ok, the screen refreshed and viola- nothing. ES File Explorer did have the added benefit of apologizing saying: "Sorry, operation failed".
I attempted more drastic measures, as I am sure I was able to do this earlier on my device (through ASTRO). I backed up my current setup, and then restored the one I made directly after rooting. This had no apps disabled. Problem persisted. Restored to my current and problem still persisted.
I then attempted to use Samsung's "My Files" app, which was surprisingly capable of performing these operations. I don't know what options this leaves me. This is not just a problem with file browsers, as I was using AIDE and was incapable of creating a new project, so this is drastically affecting the use of my device. Does anyone have any suggestions?
EDIT
I have made sure ES File explorer has root permission, and yet it still will not create folder's/files. I have put in an sd card, and am able to write folders to that. A quick and uninformed internet search has lead me to believe that it is because the file system is inproperly mounted, but I have absolutely no idea if that is correct or how I caused that issue. I am further lost on how to go about fixing it.
Would a reflash using the original root method work?
Or perhaps a factory reset?
I just don't know enough.
END EDIT
Thanks for your replies and time, I really appreciate it.

I have the same exact issue. I can add folders through the Samsung My Files; the ES File explorer gives me 'Sorry, operation failed' also. I have reformatted, and re-rooted, but same issue.
Im no expert mind you, but i had this exact same issue, pretty sure its a kernel issue, specifically i think selinux and its two modes passive and enforce.........first i tried an app on the store thats suppose to change this mode upon reboot, before i realised newly installed apps were now also having issue with internal storage........anyways, long story short, i checked out the lone kernel in the dev thread, paraphrasing, selinux disabled, or some such, and bingo bango, everythings back the way it was
If you have recovery, might be worth backing up and flashing kernel, see if that works, report if it does for the benifit of others that might find themselves with internal storage issues
Edit
T700/T705 version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/orig-development/kernel-skyhigh-tw-kernel-t2806563
"SELinux PERMISSIVE" - turns out kernel is permissive by default, not disabled
T800/T805 version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/kernel-skyhigh-tw-kernel-synapse-t2854933
Hopefully thats usefull
Yep. Just did a first TWRP backup and restored with my latest kernel flashed. No internal storage write issue. If you really want to know if it's SELinux or how I mount let me know and I can repack a stock kernel for private test. I do set the last line of my /sbin/SkyHigh.sh script as data rw, so probably that's it.

Did you have the internal issue aswell?
So we have two probable culprits, selinux or a line in a script
Can you flash kernel one ontop of the other without negatives, so lets say you put two test versions here, one with the script change but selinux enforce, and your latest kernel at the moment, anyone in the future with this issue, who is willing to help could flash the first one and confirm if fixed and thus hopefully identify the issue specifically as the data r/w or not
On another note
Although i was having internal issues in android itself at the time, my twrp recovery file manager had no problems deleting/moving files.....maybe that might narrow down the issue, i dont know

No, I've never had the issue as I've used my own kernel from just about day one Hence restoring with TWRP hadn't been a problem the one time I just used it.
I have posted a couple of times asking if someone wants to do the flashing, I don't have the motivation and time to do it.
I will however respond to a PM if someone wishes to flash a modified re-packed stock kernel to test. They'll need to supply the stock boot.img from the firmware version they are currently using. If all is good, we can then post the results.
Or in the meantime, user SkyHigh kernel

Yup, first post in the Samsung threads and I messed up. Now I have to find a proper thread to get an answer....
Just for future reference
This issue affects both internal AND external storage, if you just have an external issue and no internal, its likely you have a different issue, likely the changes brought about by kitkat, where there are other solutions elsewhere.......thats not to say you cant try a kernal thats known to have selinux as permissive and r/w script change though, might actually be another solution to the kitkat/external card issue?i dont know
So to clarify, this issue involves the INTERNAL storage too, which the other issue doesnt

This thread is about INTERNAL sdcard write issue after restoring TWRP backup. Current known solution: flash my kernel.
The EXTERNAL sdcard issue is brought about with the introduction of Android 4.4.2 (There are other dedicated threads on this). Current known solutions: flash a patched custom ROM, use one of the Play Store apps (root), or mod the relevant system folder yourself (root).

Okay, i could have sworn that i was experiencing the same issue on the external, aswell as the internal, infact im certain, i remember trying the external fixes first, assuming i had the kitkat external storage issue, untill i noticed it was also happening to the internal storage.......this was the first and only thread i found concerning internal issues, maybe i had both issues, but then again, the kitkat fixes didnt fix the external issues, your kernel seemed to fix both, at least in my specific situation
Edit
Okay, i see maybe you were answering my question from a more knowledgeble perpective, it just seemed that whatever affected the internal, was also affecting the external, otherwise, wouldnt the sdfix and/or root file managers like es file explorer with a kitkat/sd workaround, worked, both of which i tried.......seems like whatever was affecting my internal was also affecting external..........one way to find out is if folks who find themselves with the internal issues could confirm if they also have external issues, and whether the external fixes work or not
Edit
Ive just come to realise the fact that i was having internal storage permission issues might have caused the external storage fixes not to function properly, and that maybe i did indeed have two seperate issues, and that whatever was affecting my internal storage was a different issue to the kitkat/external sd card issue, so maybe you are right in saying that this only fixes the internal storage issue, which in turn allowed the external storage fixes to work.........hopefully time will tell, and hopefully, some of that makes sense

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

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:

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

[Q] EX SD card not writable for Titanium backup on 5.0

Sorry for the noob question, but could you explain that? With the stock File manager I can copy/move files to the external memory card.

try a custom kernel; stock kernel usually has /system write protection enabled so it won't allow changes to stick to the system partition
EDIT: or change the file while booted into custom recovery (ie pull the file, edit it, push it back, make sure permissions are correct)

IF (yes big if) i remember correctly, only system apps have [full] access to the sdcard, all user apps only have access to their respective directories.

[Guide] How to Solve Obb data lost on android 8.1 Custom Rom in Moto G5 Plus.

I have found solution to play games which contains obb data in android oreo based Roms. I have been facing issue from last one week that obb data automatically converted into file and we lost all obb data of all games.
So here is the guide how can you solve this issue by following below steps.
1) Install Xposed framework for Oreo Roms from below link depending on your Android OS Version.
https://www.xda-developers.com/xposed-framework-for-android-oreo-beta/
2) Then go to the playstore and install "Obb on sd" for xposed.
3) Activate the xposed module and Reboot your phone.

Every custom rom has this issue and dont know what can be the cause of this issue..
will have to wait and use xposed framework untill someone solves this issue....
I've noticed something in case it helps anyone.
The issue described in this thread seems only to happen to me after connecting to WiFi and downloading apps from the play store. I went several days and several restarts without it, then today I connected to WiFi and downloaded some apps, now it is present.
Can anyone give any more ideas about why (or even IF) this could happen?
Also we can install Magic Folder Binder (Magisk Module) to avoid cant pass safetynet
