[Q] Wireless Storage KitKat: Can not write to SD card

Hello to all
sorry for my english (by Google Translate)
With Google KitKat has favored the use of internal memory and has imposed on the sd card read-only mode.
I've done several tests and I could see that LG has allowed the writing from the File Manger, USB and the camera (what I've tried so far).
The connection "Archiving Wireless" allows read-only memory microSD.
I wanted to know if there is a way to write anchge.
thanks

First u need to Root (ioroot25) and then check this thread out -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277&nocache=1

thanks,
I also saw this app "SDFix: Writable MicroSD KitKat". Could it work?
A solution without root, is this possible?

Hi actually that previous advise didnt work for me. So i googled more, and find this, go google market and search NextApp SDFix. This will work, but it will need root also. I dont think u can do this with out root.

Why could LG not have implemented this fix before making the update available?? The SD card slot is now useless to me.

LG G Pad 8.3 not read SD Card sometimes after KitKat update from LG.

My g pad 8.3 sometimes does not recognize SD card after I updated to official stock KitKat update v50020A through LG support tool. It is recognized again after I reboot the tablet. Any permanent fix for this?

Need more info.
Are you hibernating something you shouldn't?
What kind of card?
Have you tried replacing the card to make sure its the device?
Have you fixed the permissions in /etc/permissions/platform.xml?
Have you rooted?
Custom recovery?
Does recovery recognize your sdcard?
Did you eat breakfast this morning?

SD Card Problems in 4.4
I think there is a issue since the upgrade to 4.4 I have just been on mine and twice it shows No SD card present if you restart it comes back ok
Same card as before update so I can only assume its a issue in the 4.4 program
As ggogel don't seem to like SD cards anyway !!

No problem here with sd card after upgrading to kitkat VIA OTA

I'm in Australia too, updated yesterday to V50020a. Have experienced intermittent SD card issues (presumably random unmounting), although the 32gb Sandisk did cop a massive workout courtesy of Play Music's new ability to save to it - loving that! I'm pretty sure this G Pad 8.3 had "quiet time" before the update - can't seem to find it now so I have to turn the volume off at night. This is annoying because it plays a notification sound every time the SD card unmounts Maybe I missed something, suggestions appreciated

Play Music copied about 2gig to it , did so in chunks as the card kept dropping out. I've had no issues with it today and it has not unmounted at all, although I don't think any apps have required access to it since yesterday. Maybe the SD card went into shock yesterday with all the writing it got, it usually is scantly accessed. I should point out that this KitKat update offers the single most useful feature for me - and that is Play Music's new setting of being able to cache to the External SD card - as a subscriber with a large library I can now store so much more for playback offline!!! Very pleased.

I am also very happy with play music and play movies able to save my favorite movies and music to SD card.. even the built-in web browser is able to download files straight to SD card. But I still can't write to SD card by using third-party file manager like FX file manager.

Via a file manager on the tab? Since upgrading to 4.4.2 I can not. I've seen the work around but it involves rooting which I didn't want to do yet.

After updating to 4.4.2 I also noticed that my SD Card is constantly unmounted/mounted which is pretty annoying. Formatting SD Card again didn't help. I have got V50020a ROM, anyone encountered this on V50020b?

You are not allowed to write on external storage with third-party applications on KitKat. Only Some Google apps and LG apps can write to external storage

Yes is correct, with kitkat are restricting write access to SD cards. I use ES file explorer, but there still limitations in its use.

This really sucks! I often copy content to it via wifi, now I can not I don't want to root just yet. If I knew this would have happened I would not have upgraded yet.

Only way is root to fix this or wait for a Update

I also have this problem with 20b!

Anyone having problems with sd card on LG G3?

What do you mean, trouble reading or writing to the sdcard? Try formatting the card on the phone itself, that usualy works.

What are you trying to do with the card? it might be that you just are not aware with how Android Kitkat treats the sd card slot?

Probably......only File Manager can write or delete files on my sd card, Xplore or a different Manager can't, is it normal in KitKat?

Apps can only write and edit files that they themselves created on the SD card which is why third party apps are not working. It is to stop rouge apps deleting / creating / modifying files that they shouldn't be.

With files you mean system files or files created by you? You should be able to delete or move files with an alternative file explorer or you might try gaining root (towel root is easiest) to gain admin rights.

If you root your phone, you can remove the limitations that were added in KitKat.

Many 'newbie experts' who say that an 8 or 16GB phone is fine as you can move apps etc. to an SD card are finding out the hard way that KitKat restrictions prevent using the card the same way as it used to be in older Android versions unless the device is rooted.

I have been having the random removals of the sdcard. I have a 64gb ultra I card and it worked perfectly in the samsung i had before this. I have taken everything off it and reformatted with eh LG G3 and it still randomly removes the card. I have purchased another 64gb card and does the same thing.
Any ideas of a fix?
No rooted (yet) but i can if it will fix the issue.
currently running stock everything,

Someone else had the same problem and they did an equipment swap and the new G3 didn't have the problem.
So it might be the SD card slot itself or its interface and a exchange might be neccessary.

Can't create any file in my external SD card

I wonder if any of you guys had a similar problem.
If I try to download a file, like a torrent or a subtitle directly to my external SD card, I receive a message of "can't create file".... Like if I had not the permissions to do so. But If download it to my internal SD and then copy it to my external no problem at all.
I checked the permissions and it is rw. You may say... Dude... It's you SD that's damaged.... I tried two different sds and it happens all the same. So it's my phone..... But this also happen with my gs4... So it's not the phone...
Anyone with a similar situation??

Are you familiar with:
http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-bypass-Android-44-KitKat-external-SD-write-/

You might need the Kit Kat SD card fix, but you will need root access. Kit Kat doesn't allow apps to write to the SD card and you need a work around to get it to work. You can do it via code, but I can't remember what file, code lines and permissions needed for that, perhaps someone else might chime in with that.

Editing the permissions-file requires root, too!

I'm rooted guys. I had my suspicious that this would be an os related problem. Thanks for the confirmation. So this app fix the problem huh? I'll give it a try. Thanks a lot

It worked beautifully! Thanks guys. Now I need to find out why it keeps forgetting the default apps to open stuff. The same thing happened to my gs4. Probably something to do with the kit Kate too.

D855 - Newly rooted, want to install TWRP. SD card error [SOLVED]

OP:
I just used the 1clock root script from Jac10000 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/d855-one-click-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767). I downloaded TWRP manager in order to install TWRP, and got the following message: "Itr seems we can't write to SD card properly. This is common in KitKat and Lolliopop devices. We can patch it so we can write to SD card freely. This will make a change in the system partition".
The SD card referred doesn't actually exist. I do not have an external SD card, only an internal memory! I looked at the permissions in Root browser for the internal SD card, and they all seem to be 777 or 766. No bad permissions anywhere. If I decide to click this button, I'm assuming it would change permissions in some way.. But where, and to what, and are these changes reversable (how?)? If anybody else has had the same issue, speak up.

Solved with Autorec. Thanks @bender_007!

Here you are
:good:

Can it use for D852 ?

@yym789 Check playstore. i also uploaded d852 version(bell and rogers only). Type d852 in search field.

@vargfloejt I also have this message from twrp manager. With and without external sdcard. With all version of twrp ...
I think that twrp manager propose every time this message in the first launch of the application.
I do not apply the patch and it work normaly
