I started getting the error yesterday when I went into titanium backup to backup my apps before updating. It kept giving an error saying the SD card was out of free space. I formatted it, and reinstalled Titanium Backup but I still keep getting the error. When I select the backup location it says the SD card can't be written on. Temporary CWM also can't flash zip files off the SD card. It recognizes that it is seated, but selecting it just sends me back to the previous menu. But Spotify and the camera app have no issues reading/writing to the SD card. I'm using the 64GB Samsung pro sd card with a 16GB North American Zenfone.
For TiBu, try adding the media_rw line on external storage in permissions.

Just checking, if it's rooted did you run the kitkat sd fix app in the playstore? It's a problem imposed by google as they don't want us using sd cards anymore...

No I didn't. Thanks for the suggestion it works now for Titanium Backup, I have tried temp CWM yet.
If you want to backup your apps on a SDCard with TB, You have to choose the backup directory. See pictures in attachement to proceed.
Sorry, my TB is in French but you can easily find the same repertory I guess
Step 1 : Go to "menu", then press "preferences"
Step 2 : Click to change the storage
Step 3 : Choose to storage with "DocumentProvider"
Step 4 : Choose the SD Card and the "TitaniumBackup" directory
Step 5 : Press "use the current folder", press "yes" when the popup appears.
Step 6 : Aaaaaaaaaaaand it's done !
It worked for me, all my apps are saved on the SDCard :good:

Hi,
Please forgive me if this is a noob question. I recently developed an issue transferring files to the sd card. Using the usb storage method, after transfering 2 or 3 mp3s, the phone would shut off and reboot for no reason (This caused the Zeam launcher to crash apparently? for at least 15 tries)
I tried using the SD adapter, the transfer rate is extremely slow or to no transfer at all and causes windows explorer to crash or hang (tried at least 15x).
I figured my sd card was corrupted so I tried formatting the card. If I used the SD adapter, it would say the card is write-protected even though clearly, the locked was off. I even tried another SD-adapter to no avail.
Finally, using USB storage, I was able to format the SD card.
Since I mentioned earlier that the Zeam launcher crashed, (yes, I selected always use "zeam launcher" even after it crashed causing the error message to loop) I resetted the phone with the wipe data/factory rest option in clockworkmod (I'm using ViperRom 3.03).
I wasn't sure if the 1 click root (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388) installed any folders into the sd card so I ran the 1 click root in windows just to make sure. After rebooting from the 1 click root, all the files that were previously formatted were back.
I guess I didn't read too clearly but
my questions is
1) how am I able to disable that backup function? I had a bunch of files (which I have no idea what they did) from when i first started playing with the phone and I want to start off fresh with just the files I need.
2) anyone have any idea why the sd card was unable to accept files through the SD adapter or USB storage method?
3) what to do when the launcher crashes (this happened to me 2x already where I lost all my data)
Thanks to anyone who can help. This will help me close some gaps in my limited Android/Epic 4g knowledge.
definitely something is weird. Using usb storage, I ran the scandisk to fix errors and some errors were found. I formatted to ntfs just for kicks and the sd card read blank and in properties the drive had nothing in use. I turned off usb storage, turned it back on and voila, all the files that weren't there are now back. It this a sign of a corrupted sd card or am I going crazy?
Which files/folders are you referring to? Because as soon as your phone mounts your sd card, it will write about 4 folders (I think) if they are not already there...
.android_secure
Android
DCIM
LOST.DIR
if I recall correctly. The other thing you can do is use your phone to format your card instead of doing it on a computer... go to 'Settings->SD card and phone storage->Unmount SD card' then after it is unmounted, use the 'Format SD card' option. If this doesn't work, then you may need a new sd card/phone.
Can anyone tell me what the settings should be on my Galaxy S3 in order to save a Titanium backup to the external SD card? While I had Titanium and used it on my HTC Sensation without a problem, I have encountered that when I have it on my T-mo Galaxy SIII, it saves the backups to the internal 16 GB memory by default, not the SD card. This is a problem because the backup is erased when I instal a new ROM and wipe the partition. Recently I installed a new ROM and found out that when I went to recover all my apps they were gone and were not on my SD card backed up (even though I had ran it and completed a backup). My pics and videos were still on the SD card so I know that it was not formatted itself when I installed the new ROM.
My current backup folder shows as: /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup
Should it be something else in order to save to my external 64 GB SDCard? Should any other settings be changed to something else? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
writici change
That should be the right folder. /sdcard/ refers to the external microSD for our phones. I just checked my TI settings and that's the same folder I use.
In your 64gb micro SD create a folder called "TitaniumBackup" <----this is very important!
Then open up Titanium Backup app and hit menu button, then go to Preferences.
Scroll down and select *Backup folder location.
Press "Detect", then "Whole device".
Once its done you will see /mnt/extSdCard/Titaniumbackup in the list. Select it. (the other one is gonna be /mnt/titaniumbackup thats internal sd)
Then select "Use the current folder".
If it asks you to transfer data you can which will transfer your existing back in the internal to the new one. Up to you. Or you can just start a whole new backup which will now store in you micro sd card.

Wrong
it's /mnt/extSDcard
Or you can connect your phone to your computer and pull the titanium backup folder from your phone for safe keeping while you flash. Then once everything is booted up again you can reconnect and drag and drop the folder back on the phone.
I have a Dev Edition Note 4, with a rooted stock ROM and for some reason I can't write to the internal memory. I can install apps all day long, but some apps won't write to storage. Examples:
1)Waze - Waze can't access your SD card. Make sure it isn't mounted
2)Dropbox- Storage full or Unavailable (when I try to download anything)
3)Xposed- when trying to install/update from within the app
"SD card:/storage/emulated/Android/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/files
Copying Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip...
Could not extract Xposed-Disabler-Recovery/zip"
I've tried flashing back to my original backup, running the KK SD card fix, formatting the SD card, trying a new and formatted SD card, and tried flashing the one ROM that is out for DE Note 4, and not matter what I do I'm getting the same error.
any ideas?
Thanks!

Ok after much wailing and gnashing of teeth i found the fix here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684384
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
I have a T-Mobile Note 3, running DomPop v4.3. A new version (v5) came out and i was like why not. So i downloaded the files to my phone, which gets downloaded to my internal SD Card by default. I then moved it to the external SD Card. Then i backed up everything using TWRP 2..8.5.0. to my external SD Card, and did a normal wipe (data, cache, storage). After that i proceed to install the file and i cannot find it in the folder. I kept looking for 5 mins but no luck. So then i think there might have been some mistake and i'll restore to the backup i just made and that's not there either. I rechecked to make sure i hadn't backed it up in the internal storage but its not there either. So i reverted back to an older backup, which was still in my external SD Card. Upon reboot, i used ES File explorer to check my external Storage and the file i copied and the backups that i made wasnt there. Another interesting thing i noticed was that my TitaniumBackup folder had 0 files. I always make backups before each install and i'm sure there was 200+ files in there. So then i do a titanium backup, download the file again, but this time i copy it to external SD Card. Then i reboot into recovery, trying to install the file but its missing again. What ?? I reboot system without doing anything further and check my external SD Card and i see that the file i copied isnt there. And the Titaniumbackup folder that i just populated like 2-3 mins ago is empty again. I've repeated the process again and again - copying the file, doing titanium backup, and only rebooting my phone, and the files keeps getting deleted. I dont think its a R/W issue because i can write to those folders in the external SD Card just fine without any issues . Its just that when i reboot its gone. So what gives?
You might be better off asking in the DomPop Q&A thread. Maybe someone has had the same issue or already solved your issue over there.
Titanium backup is funky, and can sometimes create more problems than it can solve.
If you have mismatched bootloader and reflash the backup will bork your phone, can't figure out why you would use TB, I tried it once during my Galaxy S2 days and never bothered with it.
Maybe there is a different app that works better on lollipop.
Or you could be having the internal SD card issue that some are having, there is a fix in one of the update threads try that.
Pp.
Thanks for your input guys. The issue was with my Transcend Premium 300X 64 GB external SD Card. I'm not sure what but something broke it, and broke it bad to the extent that i cannot write on it anymore. I can view the existing files in there, copy it but cannot delete it. I cannot format the SD card either. I tried using command prompt (disk part, format), softwares (SD Card Formatter, HDD Low Level Format Tool, etc) but no luck. Keeps saying its unable to format. I tried removing the write protection which was off to begin with, and scanned it multiple times with different Anti-Virus software but to no avail. And yes, i also removed the lock in the adapter. So yea, seems like i'll have to throw this one away. Unless someone knows a hard-core tool to format this sucker because i tried most of the conventional ways/tools i can find in the internet and it didnt work for me. Thanks.
Check out you tube with different search prompts, you never know, someone may have put out a video on it.
Good luck.

hi to all
how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8
i try many tutorial but no one work with apk with xposed
is there any solution
I'm not clear: Are you trying to grant SD card write permission to xposed? Or tried to use xposed to fix the SD card write problem?
Not personally an xposed user. But if you have general issue with other apps not being able to write to SD card, I might be able to help.

Changing your backup location in TB is a bit convoluted, and a pain in the rear. I just had to do this on another device a couple weeks ago, and had to fumble with it for a while before getting it right.
In TB, press Menu, select Preferences, then select "Backup folder location". Tap "Click to Change" (auto detect never seems to "see" the SD card). Then you will see different file system options. Honestly, I don't completely understand the differences between them. I picked "DocumentProvider storage". Then I tapped the 3-line menu button on the upper right. Selected the SD card, and tapped "Select" button on the lower right. After that, I was able to "see" the SD card in TB and read/write to the SD card.
Now, your description of apps not detecting the SD at all, or saying it writes to the SD, but no files show up, is a bit more worrisome. It suggests more than a permissions problem. Might make sense to format the SD card. Be sure to copy/backup any important data on the SD (if that is needed or even possible at this point) before formatting. Since formatting will erase all data on the SD.

The first time you try to save a file (or create folder) in ES Explorer, does the file selector appear (and lets you select the SD card)?

Strange. I haven't had this problem. Do you happen to have another SD card to try?
Stock ROM, or any mods?
