hi , i got a galaxy s4 gt-i9515 4.4.2 (build ver. that ends with NK2)
i rooted it using this guide: " can't post the link since new user but is by mrwolf s4 towelroot etc.. ", with the right NK2 kernel file.
i checked with root checker and it says root is ok, and using the paragon ntfs app i see in settings that SELinux is on permissive.
My problem is that i can't figure out a way to read ntfs devices with s4; the only way i can read them is using Total Commander + Paragon Total Commander plugin but i don't like the Tot. Com. interface plus i need to download the file form the drive to see them.
Using Paragon ntfs app when i mount the drive (WD 1tb or any ntfs pendrive.. tried both) the warnign on top "blank disk etc. " remain and i can't find the files anywhere in the phone i tried using defalut viewer and File Manager with root access on it, i looked everywhere in any folder , i tried using different apps too like USB OTG helper but it says code 9 error and in the folder that it should be mounting the drive i can't see anything.. is empty.
Did i really root my phone?i see the knox counter is 0x0.
Plus i notice that in sdcard there are folders named paragonntfs_1 2 3... etc i can't even delete them .. i finally did delete the paragonntfs_4 fodler but the others says write protected
Can you help me?
This is the s4 Mini forum, model number i919x
Maybe try the forum for your phone instead

I recently bought OTG USB cable so that I could use my usb stick or external hdd for additional storage (since we dont have an external mini sd card slot). When I connect my usb stick (FAT32), it appears in settings-->storage properly. The ES File Explorer app also shows a new folder storage/usbdisk... So everything looks fine. But I can only read to it, not write... the app gives me the error "failed to copy file". Also happens if I try to move something with the usb stick.
Now, I've tried quite a few things. I tried root explorer, and just like es file explorer, it also cannot change the permission to rw (now it's stuck on ro). I tried different apps (stickmount and USB OTG Helper), and both didn't make it work. They did however, make my hdd (NTFS) work, as added some other folders that had the proper permissions, because without those apps, my hdd would show up empty in the usbstick folder with es file explorer.
USB diagnoses app gives me a positive response too...
What in the world could be the problem???
P.S.
My system:
Kernel: AK Kubo (stable 4.2.20)
ROM: AOKP Jellybean mr1 milestone 2
GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus

OK, after spending quite alot more time trying things, I found something that solved the problem. Quite silly of me I didn't think of it earlier, (I was convinced the kernel supported it properly) but yeah... I upgraded my kernel to the experimental version (Diamond). It's newer. Apparently, USB support was not so strong in the "stable" version. This newer kernel can even read NTFS without third party apps, but not write to them. Hope this helps anyone.
Write to disk denied whenever using any third party app.
welcome to kitkat. if you are not root. nothing we can do to help you out.
Thnx a lot for your reply . Best rooting method for the Tab S 8.4 SM-T705?
currently there's only one method. cf-autoroot which... will make your knox counter 0x1 which mean your warranty is void in some country.

Did you guys get the microsd writing working with root+sdfix app? It doesn't work for me even though sdfix runs and says fix done. I also tried manually editing the settings file and I am on rom supersamsung v2 which is supposed to be fixed on rom level but nothing works! Which file manager are you using?
And the usb file transfer in either camera or media device doesn't work. I don't know if it is related. I have 128Gb card... I'm ordering original Sammy microsd now if it helps.

What does it says when they don't let u write to SD card?
I did the root and supposing using a rom that have the fix installed but I still can't download torrent files to my card, not sure faulty card or just fix not working.
Well basicall if I try to make a new folder or copy a file to extsd root it gives an error msg or restricted access or what ever depending on app. I have used es file manager and other file managers.

Same issue with my 8.4" wifi. Tweaking apps say that writing is enabled, but still not working. :crying:
same here. Spent hours to look for alternative solution but non avail. Sigh... those fixes app and platform.xml editing all done but still not working.
bought a Samsung EVO 64gb, but technically its useless now. Back to 16gb internal storage....WTFFFF
i have the same problem with scan disk SD card i tried Kingston and working fine
You can thank Google/Android for deciding user needs are irrelevant. The only way you are going to write to the external SD card on an unrooted stock ROM is use Samsung-provided tools like their lousy file manager and gallery. Third party apps are useless unless you are willing to root and ruin your warranty.
Hi,
While i was looking on how to fix the ability to write to the sd card on my Galaxy SIII Neo Android 4.4.2 KitKat,
i found this wonderful app on Google play to fix this issue..
SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD
(REQUIRES ROOT ACCESS)
it's easy and simple but on your own risk
it works for me
i dont know if there is another posts about this app, but let others know for general benefit

Thanks? Maybe?!!

[ About MicroSD Cards in Android 4.4 / KitKat ]
When Google released Android 4.4, they specified that applications you download can no longer write to user-installed MicroSD cards. Apps can still write to internal flash storage. Some devices (like Google Nexus devices) only have internal storage, and are unaffected. Other devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy and Note devices) have the ability to expand their storage space by installing a MicroSD card. When KitKat is installed on such devices, apps are limited to only being able to manipulate files on the built-in storage, with write-access to the MicroSD card being restricted.
This change represents a removal of functionality compared with Android 4.3. 4.3 allowed apps to write to the MicroSD card, as did prior versions.
The limitation introduced in KitKat does not affect the capabilities of preinstalled apps, only apps you choose to install. Apps preinstalled by Google, your device manufacturer, and your carrier still have this ability. Only apps that you choose to install are restricted.
[ Technical Details ]
NextApp SDFix will modify the configuration file located at /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml to allow apps to write to the MicroSD card. Specifically, SDFix will add the Android UNIX group "media_rw" to the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission's configuration. This will enable apps (only those that you granted write access permissions to when you installed them) to write files to the MicroSD card. On many devices, this is effectively reverting the state of this permission back to the way it was configured in Android 4.3. This modification is carried out by modifying the existing XML file, rather than replacing it.
A backup of the original configuration file will be saved at /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.original-pre-sdfix (provided one does not already exist). Reverting this modification can be accomplished by using a root -enabled file manager to replace the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file with the backed up version.

Hello all.
I recently bought LG G4 (European unlocked version H815) and rooted it mostly because I wanted to use Folder Mount since many games nowaday take so much storage space. I updated my phone before rooting to the most recent firmware (5.1). With my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 Active) Folder Mount worked perfect. With LG G4 Folder Mount seems to mount everything but when starting a game it wants to download the game data again. I checked if I can find the mounted directory (in Folder Mount) from internal memory;it was found but seems to be empty.
With ES File Explorer those mounted directories can be found but are shown with question mark.
I tried SDCard Fix but it told that apps already have write access to my external SD card and no fix is needed (Folder Mount probably fixed it).
I e-mailed Folder Mount developer but still waiting for a reply.
Please suggest any similar program that works with LG G4 or tell me how to fix this problem. Much appreciated!

Install it via xposed app
Like this one
Incase you need a guide in xposed installation here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/guide-installing-xposed-locked-t3181593
Many games put the bulk of their data on the SD anyway. If you have FM try to move it, it will get lost. Just had this issue. Delete the FM redirect and try it.

MM and Samsung roms fully support reading and writing to the sdcard. All that is required is for the app to ask for authorisation.
If it doesn't ask it's a bad app.
ADM also works fine with MM and sdcard.
