[Q] I really need help - SD card issues, T210 tab - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i bought a galaxy tab 3 T210 a week ago, and i'm done, i'm tired of this, i put inside a new 32gb micro sd card and since i updated to android 4.4.2 there is no way to write in the card, it just became useless, there is no way to use it inside the tablet, that doesn't matter to me, the part what i don't get is i can't copy files from my pc to the memory using usb cable, i've tried everything, already rooted, used all of sd fix apps, installed the ''KITKAT sd card full access'' module but nothing, i just can format the sd and use it once, after restarting the tablet the sd card is only readable, i don't know what else can i do, seriously i'm freaking out and getting to the point that i will just throw the the tablet through the window and buy a new one, this is just useless and worthless
can someone help me? after days of searching i'm just like in the beginning

Your Tab must be rooted, you need an rooten Explorer ,than you must change The Platform.XML

I'm afraid you didn't read, my device is rooted as i said, i used all the apps that fix it, i check platform.xml myself and it was fixed, but the problem is still going.
when i try to put some files into sd card this pop up "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected.", but it still connected and i can read the files

that patch is only a partial step, you also need to edit your boot.img's init.rc entry for media_rw to set perms to 755
or utilize an init.d script to perform the same function, or to create a bind mount to link your external card to a directory
in /sdcard and access it that way.

The SD-Card works fine, everytime i format the micro sd it's ok and i can do anything i want in any device, write, delete, new folders, just when i plug into the tablet and restart it, the micro sd ends working as it should and now works as read only.

Have you tried my Nolekat rom? If it doesn't work with my rom, then you have either a bad card or defective device.

for those with the same problem.
I'm actually using ntfs micro-sd and the tablet stopped damaging it, i mounted it with ''SELinux mode changer'' and ''Paragon ntfs$hfs'' to recognize it, it's better than nothing, the only way to write in the micro sd is with my notebook and a micro sd adaptor, it's not the faster way but at least i don't neet to format everytime i want to transfer files from my pc

(solved) 64gb sd card stuck on read only

Hey! So my 64gb SanDisk microsd card was working fine then the other day it decided to switch to read only, and nothing I do will fix it, windows refuses to format it, ubuntu says it did but the data remains untouched, nothing works! Any help?

How was this solved?
something similar happened to me with mine. I had to reformat it and I lost everything that was on it but it works now.
Same Issue
I has been dealing with this issue ...now with two SanDisk Micro sd cards XC I, I did tried to format in almost all the know ways...tried Linux, Windows, command line, Different adapters, Different computers, tried with the Storage feature from the Android OS,
Now I have two beatiful 64G micro sd cards....READ ONLY. Also if you browse the content in the file explorer from the computer the Delete option is not listed in the explorer.
Is there any magic tool that can remove this read only feature from the cards????????

Same issue here: did you update ROM to 4.3 version? I read that it could contain a setting within the platform.xml file that you find into system/etc/permission folder. See this
I tried it but with no success.
I hope you're luckier
Btw i sent it back to Amazon asking for refund (and they agreed). Bye

I warn you trying this setting. I tried this >>> Editing .XML file. I started getting severe force closes especially Google Frame Work Services. Even reverting did not help. Had to use my Nandroid Backup to go back.
4.3 is sucking so far for 64 GB External SD Card write support. Titanium Backup & Helium both apps can not do automatic scheduled Backups on External SD Card since 99% of the time they do not get Write Access. Only way to do an external SD Card backup is manually after rebooting the phone, even that is hit n miss.

I agree with you. 4.3 is still far from 64Gb SD Card support, and I know that editing this file can be dangerous, but I read that someone was able to restore his card and due to its cost was worth a try. During my tentative, this update didn't have effect (but at least I didn't get more troubles).
Same issue.
64GB SanDisk card from my Note 3 (search brought me here) became read only after 5 months.
I've ended up sending it under warranty back to SanDisk.
I'm glad I didn't loose anything as I've backed it up but still don't like the idea of returning something with a lot of my data and photos I can't delete.

I was having the very same problem. I finally went into the computer management, and was about to throw phone across room....when I tried to format one last time. This time I unchecked the quick format. It is taking longer, but seems to be working...I am keeping fingers crossed.
Full Format has finished and card is saved! Hope this helps anyone in the future.

[Q] External SD Card is not writable. Fixing permissions does not work or help.

I'm currently running Stock TW 4.1.1 because it just works SO well for me. I've not bothered to upgrade since I bought this phone almost a year ago now I think..?
I'm fully rooted though and I'm running the Note 2 keyboard etc.
Anyway I finally decided to try an upgrade. I tried using the Stock MOD 4.3 ROM which was MUCH slower then my 4.1.1 ROM so I Nandroided back to my backup.
I've noticed that my external 16GB SD Card is no longer working though. I mean, it works. I can access my files and open them BUT the card is not writable. If I check the file permissions I can clearly see it's not set right. If I try to change the file permissions in something like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer I just get errors about not being able to change permissions.
If I boot into TWRP and run the "Fix Permissions" this doesn't help either.
Again this is for my EXTERNAL SD Card, not the built in SD Card.

Have you tried backing up the contents of the sd card and formatting it? Either from within the phone's storage menu or another device.

That would be my first move to rule out a potential hardware failure, assuming you have the means to do so without much trouble.
Well being that it started right after a Nandroid restore I'm thinking it's not hardware failure related but you never know.
I guess it wouldn't take too long to do that. I'll give it a go.
Yep that did it. I guess I was WAY over thinking the issue.
I'm able to save porn to my external SD Card again so that is a major plus!

External SD card write issue

I'm currently running a rooted GPE G pad with stock 4.4.2 installed and am having an issue writing to the external SD card in both titanium backup and folder mount. In Tibu it says I don't have write permissions when trying to change the backup location to /storage/sdcard1 and folder mount gives me an error as well when trying to write to the same location. Is there some option in 4.4.2 preventing me from writing here or am just doing something completely wrong? I used the same sd card in my rooted Galaxy S4 for both these apps and haven't had any problems.
Sent from my AOKP GS4
I had a very similar issue on the stock 4.2.2 (non-gpe version). Some games were not updating, error 492 if I recall. I could not delete or remove the folder, and certain folders were not allowing me to write to them. I chalked it up to the LG OS just causing damage to the SD card - I formatted it, installed CM11, and haven't had the issue since. I was able to put the MicroSD in the PC and delete the folder/files, but the folder would still appear (reappear/get re-made) when put in the tablet, as it would then show up on the PC.
Not sure what caused it, but I was under the impression it was the stock firmware. Evidently not.
Posted this in another thread, but figured I'd also post here for reference...
I had the same problem; couldn't write, etc although from a PC or installing the same SDCARD in another device worked fine.... called Google Support; no help by the way and after searching/reading for a while determined the problem.
This link explains how to fix... basically Android is not accessing the proper "name" of the external card and you just need to add one line to fix permissions.

Worked perfectly, thanks! I would likely have looked into returning it if I couldn't figure out how to fix that.

Just tried this on Stock LG Rom (V500) and unfortunately it did not resolve my issue updating apps that I have moved to external SD card via Foldermount. I can successfully run apps and write to external SD via titanium backup just can't update apps via play store. Foldermount developer blames LG and is already working to correct in his next version. Was hoping this was the solution. Guess will have to wait for update from dev.

First time I had a SD card get fried on me. Sandisk 64GB SD fails with write protect. Cannot even format on PC.
Could it be the G Pad is frying cards?
Hmm, not sure it's the G Pad. I have also had issues with Sandisk 64GB cards but in Galaxy Tab. I do not think the Sandisk are as reliable as say the Samsung cards. I think this is one of the reasons you can find them so cheap vs. other brands. Picked up 2 more for $34 each on Black Friday. In any case, you may be able to resurrect by using the MiniTool Partition Wizard. I had a card that I was able to fix by deleting all the partitions and recreating. Give it a whirl you have nothing to lose. The desktop tool is free.

I also had issues with Sandisk Ultra 64GB card, works fine with smaller cards. Kept saying card dismounted unexpectedly and Titanium would fail many times during a backup because. I CAN do a nand backup no problem in recovery and works fine in PC so some firmware issue with either 64 GB cards in general or just Sandisk? Same issue only worse if use a custom rom. Was gonna return my pad but once tested other cards realised some 64GB/Sandisk compatibility issue.... I can also recommend mini tool partition wizard

When you say you can't edit the file even after mounting as r/w, what error do you get? Basically, until you edit the file I think you'll continue having the problem.

Check SuperSU to ensure the app you're using has been given root access. If you can't edit the file, sounds like you don't have proper permissions.

[Q] Running out of Space, Symlinks and Installing Apps to SDcard

Due to size limitations (GPads only coming in 16gb varieties) I am beginning to run low on space on my Gpad (v500 running cm11). However I have a 64gb microSD card and I would like to use this as much as I can to conserve space on the internal memory.
There are a few ways to solve this but I not fully know how to do this.
Firstly, is it possible install apps to microSD card? If so, how? I know some devices support this and some do not. My phone for example does not but I have heard that some people have had success with this.
Next, there are some rather large folders on my internal storage that I would like move to my sdcard however the apps that use those folder can only read them where they are currently located (cmupdates, ebooks, etc).
I read about symlinks and managed to make a few but the only place I was able to make a symlink was to /data/media/0. But the changes to that do not show up the apps which I believe read either /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0. And for my SDcard I can get to it either in /mnt/media/sdcard1 or through /storage/sdcard1.
I tried and succeeded in making a link between /mnt/media/sdcard1/eBooks and /data/media/0/eBooks however the link does not show up in /sdcard or /storage/emulated/0 and it does not show up in the apps, leading me to believe that is where the apps read the sdcard from.
If anyone can answer the above two questions or give any other suggestions for maximizing available space on my internal card please let me know.
Thank you!
I think most of your issues could be resolved with Link2SD (under 10 posts, can't post a link to Google Play).
You can also use an app called Foldermount. It's only $.99 ( if I recall correctly) for the unlocked version. This allows you to move any folder to SD card. I like it as it guides you thru the way and will move the data for you as well. Latest version has been updated to allow apps from play store to install properly. Well worth the $1 price.

Thanks guys! Looks like using these two combined I can get exactly what I wanted. I'll use link2SD to put apps on the SD card and Foldermount to move the other folders I want moved.
Thanks again!
Can you let me know if this works for you? I can't get mine to read or write my SD card at all! I can't even move a picture from my Box cloud account to the SD card. Are you experiencing this? Or did I get a bad unit?

These solutions did work for me, I am still tweaking to get it the way I like it especially since every time I update my Rom Link2SD has to generate new scripts.

I've tried 2 different SD cards both of which I can move files to and from on my computer. So I know it's not the card. I'm thinking maybe I should exchange it out for another day one...

How are the cards formatted?
The ROM you are using may not support the format.

Well, if you did it from your PC, it may be formatted NTFS, and you need them formatted FAT 32. Get it here; http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html Not only allows formatting almost any format xFAT, Fat32, NTFS, etc.. and you can partition them also which is not supported by Windows, but IS supported by most Android ROMs. I doubt there is anything wrong with your device.

I have been trying to fix the issue with Rom updates and link2sd. You have to provide the Rom (in my case cyanogenmod) a backup script so it can back up the files. I am planning on figuring it out at some point but if you get it before I do would you mind posting your script? Thanks!

So a follow up with this, I was able to get a script working. I don't know if this feature is unique to cyanogenmod or not but any script in /system/addon.d will execute itself during a rom install and be restored automatically if it was wiped. So using 50-cm.sh as an example I made a script called 11-link2sd.sh to perform the backup of the mount script for link2sd which is located in /system/etc/init.d/11link2sd.
I then had insert this script and my mount script into a cyanogenmod update and flash it in. But after that I tried flashing an update of cm11 to test it and it worked! Attached is my script which should also work for anyone who is able to flash it into their /system/addon.d folder.

couldn't install on usb storage or sd card

I tried doing the unmount trick, the one with the terminal. Still nothing
The "funny" thing is that I can install free apps without problem, but when I download Swype and Poweramp unlocker (which I bought) i keep getting this error
solutions?
Did you try a Link2SD?
More details please buddy, want to help but need to know as much as you can tell. Rom, flash details, when it first happened, etc.

Hello, I have flashed the JellyKat ROM v5 on my NoteII and got a new sd card (ADATA 32GB) from ebay, the card was sealed so I hope I wasn't cheated, but randomly I see these things in my DCIM folder and I can't write to the card and the phone seems to not read the media on it music photos everything, and I can't install any apps on it or update existing app or even create a folder through the default touchwiz My Files.
I tried to format the card on the PC but can only do quick format because it loads and loads and then say windows can't format this, I also formated it via the phone it worked for a while and then stopped working again, now I don't put a card in the phone.

I have been using my old card from my tablet all day now and it is working fine I created a new folder and copied some files from internal storage to it to test it and it worked.
Is there a way to fix the corrupted partitions on the other card?

Yup, I also faced that kind of problem before, simply run KitKat SD fix, grant root and let the app patch the platform.xml. Reboot and try again. It worked for me. :good:
