I have this phone with the latest version of Marshmallow, however I cannot get write access on a microSD.
Normally I would run SDFix by NextApp and it would work after a reboot, but I am getting an error with this app that says that platform.xml isn't present on the device so it can't do anything.
What do I need to do to fix this problem?
Thanks

Is your tablet rooted? you may need the sdcard fix due to 4.4 sdcard write to sdcard issue. Try to configure firefox to use internal storage if you're not rooted.

Tell us more about your device, is it root? stock firmware? custom recovery?
I'm with Buhohitr, except that I KNOW that your (OP) problem is Kitkat's write protection. I had this exact same problem after first installing KK. To fix it, use SDFix ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix), but you have to be rooted.
I am experiencing the same issue with firefox but also with other browsers like dolphin (with different error message) . but not only with browsers but also with es explorer . i applied all the fixes sd fix etc while rooted , i also tried unrooted . my internal sd is only affected by this not the external. I cant change anything in internal sd it is like locked. This is happening only in the official kitkat rom and the problem appeared all of a sudden.

Try this fixer:

I had to use two different apps, one for my LG phone, and the other for my tablet. One app kind of worked on my tablet, but not 100%. I cant remember which app I used on which device though.
Thanks for your suggestion. I finally fixed the issue first by installing supersu( already have towelroot) . After that i installed the following fixers : sd fix, sd fix tool and int sdcard write fix. The problem is solved with all browsers and es explorer. Maybe towelroot alone without supersu didnt left the fixers work before. I am not sure.
Same here
I also have the same Problem on my rooted Samsung XCover2. BUT this has Android 4.1.2 and most of the apps wich helped you didn't work on my older android version. What can I do??? Could I do anything with ADB, like force installing these apps, or do I have to reset it on the stock rom? What als a problem could be is, that I installed the false baseband version, but everything works except this :/
Please help me

Check your SD card on another device. The card could have gone bad (can't write, occasional problems reading, can't format). I've had it happen to me twice.
If system files are on the SD card, read-only can cause problems. Last time I had that happen, I believe I ended up reflashing a clean stock ROM and starting over
Recommend saving app data (not the apps as one of them could be the problem) before nuking your flash though.

The point is Katkat v4.4.x dont allow apps to write or install in sdcard, you just change The permissions to write.
In your case , install by a clean setup The Stockrom, root it, change The Permission to write on sdcard at Platform.xml with a root Explorer.
Hi all,
I like to acces my phone via WIFI to upload & download files to it . I use the Websharing App to do this and this works quiet well via a browser on my computer.
However when trying to write a new folder to my external SD-card in my phone, i get an error. I Tried this with different filesharing apps, but i seems like i don't have persmission to do this because i always get the same error.
This problems occurs only when trying to write something to the external SD. Reading & copying is possible.
Does somebody knows how i can fix this problem ?
When connecting the computer via usb-cable , it's possible to write directly to SD card.
(Samsung galaxy s4 mini LTE, android 4.4.2)
Cheers.
On android 4.4.2 3rd party apps can't write on SDCard. You must root Your phone, install Xposed Framework and then download and install module KitKat SD Card Full Access. Also better way to browse and manage files directly on Your phone is SambaDroid, You can even manage system files.

Okay thanks for your help. Will try sambadroid, otherwise will check the xposed framework. Phone is already rooted.
I'm afraid that You also need this xposed module for Sambadroid to work. As I remember it was some build.prop modification to make it work if You don't wanna play with xposed.
Under 5.0.1 Lollipop, how do I (or, can I) make external SD writable? The TWRP installation app claims to make that change (I think), but it didn't work.

Go to the playstore and search and download SDFix by NextApp and follow the instructions in the app. That should fix your external sd card problems

Yes you can. In recovery (twrp) go to wipe/advance wipe/ select sd and press change file system/ choose fat. When done reboot to system.
Through play store, download sdfix. This will surely help.
I was kinda wondering the same thing. I haven't tried twrp but I have used the sdfix tool as SuperSU and it says it worked. I was wondering if users like myself could get some more information on the whole write issue. Specifically! Getting a torrent program to write to the sdcard. After all why would I need root for any other reason? Please help with step by step instructions. Any experience at this is much appreciated.
So far I am luck y to have root. I am getting more familiar with adb command interface. I have been reading about rebooting and installing apk's from the boot menu but, this is all overwhelming for someone who just decided that google is a b.i.t.c.h. and it's time to jump on the xda ban wagon. So far my torrent programs either only write to internal space perfectly, or write to sdcard with small file sizes, stopping prematurely or even stopping only to refreash and start the torrent all over from zero percent. The torrent app ability is all so sketchy at best when it comes to using it with lollipop 5.0.1 lg g3.
Let me know if this is not the place for this discussion and I will delete this post and follow your link.
I have Pro 8.4 with KitKat 4.4.2 . I have a full access of SD card on system's file manager, but like on WinZip or 7zipper, I don't. Same for other programs. Now I wanted to download a torrent with app uTorrent and it failed with error "Permission denied. (ReadToDisk)". Maybe somewhere is like on Windows "Run program on Administrator mode"? Or maybe something that will give that permission. Not rooted, and not going to do that (maybe when warranty ends).
Unfortunately you need root, it's actually a bug in the kitkat android sources that blocks sdcard write access (though it is fixed in Lollipop, unfortunately Samsung hasn't release LP for our device yet), the only way to fix it is with root since the file that needs modifying is on the system partition...
But, if I would to upgrade to Lollipop (if we ever have it) then it will fix this thing?
yeah
Check my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/write-data-to-external-sd-card-kitkat-t3248220
In most cases (with many apps that write data, like downloads), you can, in fact, write to the external SD card in KitKat, without root.
