Not sure when it happened, but I cannot save into the Download folder using Opera anymore. It seems I can't save anything now. I tried saving into SD Card and it doesn't even work.

Ok, so I don't know what happened, but when i went to mount my phone with mtp, everything is gone. I have the camera folder but no pictures. I've lost all of my pictures, downloaded apks, videos... Everything. Someone please help me trouble shoot this. I tried to run programs like Pandora Recovery but since the GN doesn't mount to the computer with a drive letter, those types of file recovery programs aren't working.
Thanks in advance for the support.
Can you give us any more information about anything that you did or that happened between the last time you had the files and now? Also, are the files still on the phone, just not visible from the computer, or are you sure that they have been deleted from the phone?
Have you used/installed to your phone a program like ES File Explorer or Astro to browse the SD card folder to see if anything is listed there?
I even looked on Astro & Root Explorer.
Only folders that were left are empty but are "Android" "DCIM" "Notifications" "Pictures" "tmp"
Even my clockwork folder with my back up is gone.
Last thing I did was make a back-up then I wanted to copy over a new Rom to the phone so when i plugged it it, that's when it appeared that everything was gone.
I had apps and all that but what is killing me is the pictures of my son that I've been saving...
Is there a way to modify the apk or add a setting for choosing the directory of the .mcr save file? the reason I ask is I am trying to keep my memory card synced with dropbox between my PC and phone so I never have to worry about forgetting to transfer my save. So being able to select the dropbox folder as the .mcr save location would be great!
Thanks.
i tried going back to stock earlier. i backed up all the contents of my sdcard to my pc using adb pull. i have successfully returned to stock and as i was trying to restore my sdcard, i can't seem to find the right place to put the obb files of my games. where exactly do i have to put it? /sdcard/Android/obb or /data/media/obb or somewhere else? i tried putting it to those two but some games like asphalt won't load i can't afford to download the game right now for out internet connection nowadays is ****ty.
Recently rooted my phone thanks to these wonderful people at a place called xda-developers. You may have heard of them.
Anyway, I find that there's something weird going on with my phone, I can't write to the internal storage. External SD card works fine, Internal SD card does not. Only a few apps work.
The camera app will take and save photos, but using the camera within Kik Messenger gives m the error that the photo cannot be saved, I have to take photos with the camera app, then import them to Kik with the "choose photo" option, which will let me choose a photo through Gallery.
In another related issue, ES File Explorer will not create new folders. I'm in the main directory of the "internal" SD card, where things like Downloads and DCIM like to sit in. I cannot make a folder. If I go in with a Windows computer over USB I can make folders fine. ES File Explorer cannot even delete the folder. Says "New Folder cannot be deleted" Why is this? I can even rename the folder, but I still cannot delete this folder. Going into the properties it says I have full read and write access to the folder, I still cannot delete it.
In a third instance I have the GPS program Navfree. I cannot even run the program. Google Play installs it and it says it works, but when I go to actually open the program it gives me the error "Program cannot be installed, contact support" before quitting me back to the home screen. This program is special because it downloads and installs, but there are map files that it needs to download before it becomes useful. This is done within the app and I do not know where it tries to save to.
I think all of these problems are related and I have not seen any forum posting about it so far and I have been searching for a while. Google Play will still download and install apps like no problem and ES File Explorer will copy and move files around and will even rename New Folder to 'folder' but will not delete i
At first I suspected it to be the problem with KitKat and the debacle about writing to /external/ SD cards. But my problem extends to the internal storage as well. I have applied the fix to the 'permissions.xml' file by adding "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" I had to flash the fix in with recovery because I could not save the edited file I had typed up. Using one of the automated fixes in Google Play told me the action had already been completed. On the contrary, external storage works fine, I can write files and delete them and whatever I want to the external. The problem is with the internal card and it applies to everything I've tried except the camera.
So what is going on with my phone? I have root access but some apps will not work properly. It's just one headache after another. Here's hoping I won't notice the next one until I get another phone...
Eventually I just got fed up with the problem and re-applied the stock rom with Samsung Kies. Re-rooted and now the problem is no more. Thanks for thinking about me!
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 with root access. I have some files that I cannot delete from my SD card. When moving large video files, I'll often pull the SD card out, install it into my computer, and move the files that way, rather than through the USB cable, as the transfer is much faster. The files in question, that I cannot delete, are all files that were transferred this way. Why would these files be locked in this way?
I haven't checked yet, to see if I can put the SD card back into my computer and delete them from there. I'll check tomorrow to see if that works. If not, I'll have to format my SD card in order to get rid of the files. This seems pretty strange.
Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this or have any sort of explanation for it?
Thanks.
Which file manager are you using? Make sure the file permissions are set correctly and not read only.
Windows and Linux file permissions work differently. You'll probably find you need to set file permissions to allow the files to be written or executed.
I use ES File Explorer, but I've tried others. I never had this problem with my previous tablet. I never had to set anything to give myself write access. Also, I'm able to cut, copy, paste, delete other files from the card; just not these.
