ok i have searched this issue but what i found wasnt specifically for this devices and none of the similar topiocs solutions work for me. so here is my issue..
First of all i have Sprint HTC 10, htcdev unlocked, sunshine s-off, latest twrp, running viper10 1.2.0, no other mods currently & running great from the start.
the issueis.. with root explorer, when i copy/cut/move any type file from the internal storage and try to paste/move file to my external sdcard it give me a SD write Persmission (see attached picture) its says after pressing OK a dialog will be displayed and to navigate to sd card but afteri hit ok root explorer closes and i get "unfortuantely, root explorer has stopped" keeps happening and come think of it similar happens with fx explorer an ES explorer as well. i gave permission during twrp and in venom tweaks i have "mount system r/w" option turned on, root explorer is r/w as well. i can move files from sd to internal storage without an issue. can anyone help me solve this. thanks in advance

Ok, I'm not sure what the problem is but every time I open ES File Explorer it tells me my SD card is unmounted or not present. However, all my programs installed to the sd card run and if I use Astro file explorer I can access the files on my SD card. Also, If I go to applications and clear data for Es file manager it will run until I reboot my phone and then it will not work again. I've tried unistalling it and reinstalling it and it will run unitl I reboot and I still get the same error. I've searched this forum and on google and have not seen anybody else experiensing the same problem. Does anyone know what's causing this? Thanks.
Nobody has any suggestions?
Try going into settings and unmount your SD and mount it again. Then open ES and try again. If that doesn't work then try the above steps again and uninstall and reinstall ES before opening it.

Try Root Explorer
I was having this problem as well. It occurred after I allowed es to have root access, and then tried to connect my phone to my computer through USB to transfer files. I was however not able to transfer files between my computer because the mass storage button on my phone would not process any function. I resolved this problem by enabling debugging mode, then pressing the mass storage button. After transferring some apks, I disconnected my device to install them. However, as I stated, when I opened es it gave me the "unable to mount SD card" error. The only way to resolve this I found was to go back into es and disable root access. After I did that I was immediately taken to my SD mount.
I fixed the issue by going into application, ES explorer and clicking clear data.
Unfortunately you lose settings, but it saves reinstalling.
nope!!!!
the way to fix this permanently is to go to settings and disable root access.
works perfect!!!!!!! and dont need root access ALL the time lol
SD Card unmounted or not present. Here is the fix:
Android ES File Explorer Error:
SD Card unmounted or not present. Here is the fix:
The path is the problem.
1. Launch ES File Explorer
2. Click on "Menu", "Settings", "Home Directory".
3. Change the path to exactly the following (only the one slash as shown):
mnt/sdcard
4. You may need to refresh by exiting ES File Explorer and re-launching it, or by pushing the home icon in the main program screen.
5. Celebration!

I just got my first Droid cell phone, and was having a problem finding my external flash memory card also.
In ES File Explorer settings, (open program, tap menu pad, elect "Settings"), and then scroll down to "Up to root". Enable "Up to root". This lets you tap the back button all the way to the roo directory of whatever file system you are browsing.
The path to the external flash card is /mnt/sdcard-ext
This means you tap the back pad until you see / as your path up top, then scroll down to "mnt", and select that. Then you scroll down to "sdcard-ext" and tap that. You are now browsing your external sdcard. Add it to favorites, so you don't ahve to do that again!
While I am new to Droid phones, I am not new to Linux. I run it exclusively on everything. Basically, the android operating system is a screwed up version of Linux. Google uses Linux to get the system going, then they make it so you can't run any of the tens of thousands of already finished nifty open source Linux programs, such as LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, etc...
Ahoy! Simply put, I'd like to install a new boot animation on my rooted HTC Desire HD running Android Revolution HD 3.0.
I've searched how to do this but I don't exactly understand.
I understand that I can 'push' the new bootanimation.zip to data/local via ADB, but some guides/installation tutorials have simply said 'copy bootanimation.zip to data/local.'
I'd much prefer to be able to simply copy the .zip to data/local and not have to deal with ADB as I have not yet used it, but how do I do this? Am I misunderstanding?
I thought 'copy to data/local' would be as simple as using for example, Astro File Manager and copying the new bootanimation.zip from my SDcard to data/local, however there is no 'local' folder inside of the 'data' folder and the option to create a new folder is greyed-out.
Long story short:
What's the simplest method of installing a bootanimation?
Can I simply 'copy bootanimation.zip to data/local?' If so, how?
If I have to use ADB to install the bootanimation, what is the exact process of doing this?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but my searches confused me more than cleared anything up. Thank you for any help in advance!
You need a program like root explorer(es file explorer with root access should work too) for the copy/paste method because the bootanimation.zip isn't stored at your sd card but at the phones internal memory.
At the root of your phone you should see folders like sdcard, dev, root and many more. One of them is called data. In this folder there is one called local. There should be a file called bootanimation.zip. just replace this file with your bootanimation.zip.
Normally it can't damage your phone when your bootanimation has a wrong format or whatever. If the new file is broken, you'll get a black screen instead of an animation but the phone will boot anyway

I see the folder you're talking about in both Astro and ES File Viewer, but this 'data' folder is empty by default. There's no bootanimation.zip and there's no 'local' folder.
I'm confused.
take a look at /system/media

Use ES File Explorer, and make sure that you enable root mode in settings. Use hiapk mode. Also remount /system and /data, that option is also in the settings.

Thank you. This worked perfectly. I wasn't aware I needed to do this. Thanks again.
Edit: I've encountered another problem. Whenever I now attempt to access my SD card via ES File Explorer, I get the error "SD Card Unmounted or not present." How do I rectify this? It works fine in Astro.
Edit 2: I attempted to unmount /system and /data simply by unticking the option in ES (i'm really only just starting to delve into this sort of thing now and don't know what I'm doing.) and it says 'failed to mount'. How do I fix this also? ;P
Edit 3: Re-installing ES File Explorer fixed the above two issues, but I assume it will do the exact same thing again. For the time being and a short fix, is re-installing the app each time OK? I don't exactly know what 'failed to mount' or 'SD Card unmounted or not present' errors mean. I get the idea, but I'm not sure if they're really doing any damage.
I found my original boot animation in '/system/customize/resource/' and replaced with a custom one. Worked!
I just uprgraded to the lollilop gpe OTA. Everything is working as normal, camera, Infrared, light, wifi, LTE radio, etc... I am also rooted.
However, ES File Explorer is still unable to modify the contents of the External-SDCard. I tried doing a simple copy operation from the internal-SDCard to the External-SDCard and there was a prompt that came up (looks like it is from android OS and not from the application) which asks me to select the "root folder" of the External-SDCard.
Following that prompt, I get to the screen where I should click on the "External SDCard" icon on the left of the screen, but the when I do that, the application named "Documents" reports that it has stopped and then it sends me back to the paused copy operation in ES File Explorer and then that operations fails...
Anyone have any clue if this is supposed to work straight out of the "box"? Or do I need to download kernel patches or go modify platform.xml again like in 4.4.4 GPE?
Thanks!

Thanks. Although the above says it resolves an issue with "The PC" not being able to see the sdcard, and my issue is with an android application (ES File Explorer) not being able to write to the sdcard, I still went ahead and ran the suggested command and although the command succeeded, the android application still can't write to the sdcard...
although it won't solve all your problems with writing to external SD card on the HTC One Lollipop, you can fix the crashing of the "Documents" app you described by making sure your micro SD card has a label (name): put the sd card in a sdcard reader in your PC/Laptop and give it a name.
Hi. Yes, you are correct I found out about the label being blank causing the crash and adding a label to the external sdcard partition fixed the crash in ES File Explorer. With the crash now gone i was able to grant ESFile Explorer write access to the entire external SDCard, and the app is now working flawlessly.
I also found this thread: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=67570#c4444
So, based on that thread's discussion, it looks like the app developers of any app that needs/wants write access to the external sdcard just need to change their applications to start using the new API, just like the ESFile Explorer guys did.
adb commands
Try running these adb commands one after the other
adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Ok, this may be the wrong place, but I'll ask in the hopes that someone knows the answer.
I just upgraded my M8 to the Developer Edition Lollipop build and got everything up and running. My phone is S-off/Bootloader unlocked, but other than root, is bone stock. (Literally - I reapplied the 4.4.4 RUU followed by the 5.0.1 OTA)
ES File Explorer keeps popping up a "hint" when I try to do anything on the external SD card and opens up a "Documents" folder. However, when I follow the instructions, Documents force closes and returns me to the file manager. Since I am S-off, it completes the operation anyway without error. I can (once I get past that window) copy/delete/paste/create files on the external SD card at will, either from ES File manager or via USB on the PC.
Is there any way to disable the hint and stop ES File Explorer from popping up that Documents folder?
Does anyone have any info on this? I'm interested also, having the exact same issue after upgrading to Lollipop 5.0.1 on my unlocked Galaxy S4 SHV-E470S. I love using ES File Explorer for everything, but this definitely makes things somewhat annoying
Hey guys, got a question for you.
I'm trying to get ES file explorer to have permission to access my sd card. I've done it before on my previous note 4, but this time when it tells me to select the root folder everything comes up blank, like the screenshot I attached.
I can access the card with no problem through the built in file manager. Not sure what else to try.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
And also, I did hit the menu button and "show sd card", still nothing.
