I have the same issue on my GN 3. I hope there is a possibility to solve it without root modification of platform.xml

Its a new kit kat permission thing..if you are rooted you can fix it..otherwise will just have to wait till the individual app developers to update their app permission.

My Note is rooted. Can you give a tip, how to solve this problem?
External SD card mount point fix for kitkat roms
Received the official KitKat update this weekend and found the same issue. Apps like SMS Backup & Restore, ES File explorer but also Sygic has problems with it.
As the solution posted here, is already a couple of months ago, I'm afraid that a fix is not as easy as I hoped. Some say it can be fixed by the 3rd party app developers, some say it must be fixed in Android itself.
Anyone ideas about this?

I have the same issue... i am pretty pissed off...
i will probably root the damn phone.
Last post says it's not for Note 3 and it's not for official ROM and you have to redo it every boot?
Frankly, how can google even do this, sabotage things just like that? Maybe Samsung should come up with that Tizen OS and start making Win phones, couple more updates like this and Android will become another ios, thank you very much.

Could you please clarify what this permission is? I've tried to contact one of the developpers but he said that he can't find anything about it. Moreover his Nexus 7 works fine.

That's actually my bad. I supposed to say something like that.
Still... What the exact permission is to allow the app to access in read and write mode only cause apparenly it's not about WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE whatsoever.
Same Error
The whole method is related to changing the permissions.xml file with a modified one, either via custom recovery or by simply editing it,, and in some cases this whole method don't work, also requires rooted device, so i think the solution either from a 3rd party applications developer or samsung fixes it bu rolling out a fix update.
I'm having this issue with my Go Backup Pro, Office Suite Pro 7, Polaris Office Viewer

Sup xda. So I just won a galaxy s4 Google edition from a contest, and it can't write on my 32gb Samsung class 10 SD card. The problem is the phone, because it would write perfectly on my s3, also I bought a new one (sd card) and it can't write on it either, so definitely the phone's the problem. I read that this is a problem from android 4.3. Is there a workaround or will I just have to wait for kitkat?
I really need it to be able to write on the SD card cause I have some apps that rely on that.
Please help. Thanks

Isn't this a result of 4.3 disabling that feature? You have to root the phone, and edit a file to allow the media_rw group access. There are tutorials out there to explain in more detail.

That S3 issue sounds like you installed a ROM. I'm not suggesting that, I'm just saying you need to root in order to adjust whatever system file needs adjusting. Here's what I found. Good luck!

Anybody got issues with latest update 4.4.2 for AT&T I337 mobile?
Please post here issues you are facing with latest update.
Thanks!!
None of my end so far. I just updated it last night around 1am EST. Been running since then perfectly fine. The phone is noticeably faster than before and has a quicker response time as well.
After the update the only thing I did have to do extra was reinstall SwiftKey. Any programs that I had that were in a paid status had to be reinstalled. Non-paid apps stayed with no issue.

Restoring with ODIN worked great, must have been trying with the wrong ROM. Now just wish we could root this one and have a variant of the 4.4 that did not have all the bloatware. Don't need all the Samsung and AT&T apps.

I tried with the Explorer that came with my phone as well as two file explorers that I tested out from the Play Store. Seems to be working fine for myself. Not sure why it's not working for you.

Overall Ifind the update made my phone much snappier and the data seems faster but speedtest has it the same. The illusion must be from the phone being snappier. I disable new bloatware Beats Music.
I wanted to try ART but it appears Samsung has chosen not to include it.I'm hoping the pieces are still there and it can be enabled once root is obtained.
I have not had any SD Card issues but if I do I assume it may be something that can be worked around with root. So looking for a root method, I am.

It is supposed to work with the built-in file manager, but not with third party apps. Can you tell me which file explorers (beside the built in) lets you rename files on the external SD? I have tried several and that all fail (except the built in one).
It works fine.
Hi,
I'm a newbie of this gorgeous forum, i've heard of it many times and so, i decided definitely to create an account.
I Have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 kitkat with the Build KOT49H and about 2 weeks ago i've accidentally deleted, in explorer, 2,95gb mic records files of the program easyvoice recording. They were very important to me, so i stopped using the phone to avoid the overwrite of the hidden/deleted files.
I tried with two methods:
1) Hexamob File Recovery PRO [NEEDS ROOT] , i haven't got root never on my nexus, so the bootloader isn't unlocked too. I can't unlock it because it will wipe all the memory involving the data folders making a total format like the hard reset does. You could say: Backup it?
It isn't so easy, the files that i've deleted are hidden by the memory in the phone (this is why i'm trying to recover it...), unless i'll download or overwrite it putting other files on it, they will certanly be unrecoverable. I stopped using my telephone in order to find a solution to my problem.
So, i've forgot this way to recover my files, and the mean question i ask to you is: Can i root my device in order to use Hexamob without the wipe process?
2) Recuva, Dr Fone Wondershare for Android, Data Recovery, Restoration... ecc ecc
I even tryied to use Windows Softwares such as the mentioned above. But... "luckily" for me, how you should know, many Nexus upgraded with 4.4.2 reports bugs with cable connection with PCs.
Example: when i try to copy all the pictures to windows it give me strange errors ("The library, drive, or media pool is empty.") and i have to copy one to one files per time.
So all the softwares doesn't find the "Nexus 4 MASS STORAGE". I've tried reinstalling automatically and manually drivers many times. Nothing work.
I've only three possibilities to return to use my nexus. Or i wait a google update in order to solve the cable connection bugs, or i wait in april a Dr Fone Wondershare for Android Software Update release compatible with 4.4.2, or i ask to you, my only concrete salvation.
Thanks a lot to all. Really.
Hate to tell you this, but you're sol. You're unlocked, unrooted, and you can't mount the device as a drive letter on the pc. I'd check with the app that's going to be updated in April, but I'm guessing it's not going to work anyway. Let them know you have a nexus 4, I don't think it can do usb mass storage

If you're rooted it works better than I expected it to. But as you know, if you're not rooted it doesn't work. It's asking for usb mass storage which asfaik the nexus 4 doesn't support. I don't think even the update will be able to get around that limitation sorry

So I'm getting REALLY good at learning... How boot to roota phone. Unfortunately, this time is more serious. I used CF's autoroot. Odin confirmed success. But SuperSU claims that I don't have root. I am operating on limited data. Please, email first, then we can arrange phone call. I don't know how often I'll be able to check here,but I know that it'll be quickest and easiest (for me). Please any Senior Admin intimately familiar with CF, soft bricks, and SGS4. [email protected] 503-443-6862 pst.
You are not soft bricked at all. You're just saying Super user says you have no root access. Seems like you don't have the latest CF auto root for NAE. I would highly recommend that you remove your phone number.

Do you know what android version your phone was on? 4.2.2 4.3 or 4.4.2? I would say if you have access to a computer and internet to download the NAE tar that is in the development section by random45 and Odin it. The instructions are in the thread. Of course you have to be able to access download mode on your phone.

The broken english and limited data led me to think it was from a foreign country.
If and only if you have the Sprint S4, go to the thread already mentioned here and download the NAE .tar. Here's the link again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663619
Verify the MD5 sum, put your phone in download mode, and use ODIN to flash it. That is the only way your problem will be solved. I don't know what you mean exactly by limited data, but if you need to, you can download it in a library or something. It's a large file.
Ok. So first off Texas born and bred. Graduated at 14 years old. No broken grammar. I only have 1g available on my plan for the tablet. Unlimited on the phone. It is unevoquivically SPH-L720T.

Root with the LATEST version of CF-Autoroot from Chainfire's site; linked in the OP. That's should be this one
Then install any recovery you with. Either with GooManager or via PC Odin.
For recovery I'd recommend Philz philz_touch_6.08.9-jfltespr (You can use others but that has, for me proven the most reliable on 4.4 and most of the 4.3 builds). Builds are here
Hint if you install goomanager and flash a custom recovery you can then use that recovery to flash other recovery zips - either Philz, TWRP or CWM
And Tigard, I'm guessing your somewhere by the 99 and 217.
EDIT!!
You have the T version so don't do anything I said for the regular 720!!

I am going to caution you here, since you have the L720T. I think we all assumed that you were talking about the original L720. Do not use those NAE ROM threads that we linked you to, and whatever root method you use, make sure it works on the L720T. For future questions, make sure you specify what phone you have. This is primarily a forum for the older L720 model phone, not the tri-band phone that you have.
Actually, I had already tried those files several times Prior to you suggesting them. I'm just still shocked, and disbelieving that too low a class SD card caused the problem. Feedback?

Actually, I had already tried those files several times Prior to you suggesting them. I'm just still shocked, and disbelieving that too low a class SD card caused the problem. Feedback?

I for one don't believe the card was the problem.
With no SD card at all, the phone should've booted no problem.
When I got my phone it didn't have a card in it - I did order a class10 at the same time but it didn't arrive as fast as my phone. I put in an older 8gb class 6 without issue.
Sh*ty sd card and it should boot just access it slowly, unless you did something to move system files to your external SD card before it failed.
Now I do know cards of any type and class can fail - and DO. But the fact that the card is bad shouldn't matter to booting - all that is off the internal storage.
Did they 'sell' you a new card or just give you another?
Seems all weird to me but who knows. Just glad you got it.

Actually, neither. I had bought my own. Mine also came without. I used the older 8G, until i could afford the class 10 16G. But that is what he said. I've had few problems since then, though haven't taken time to try another root yet.
my P700 with JB 4.1.2 update drives me crazy - i cant move apps to SD (apps for this purpose didnt work on my phone) i cant restore my beyondpod backup to my new phones cause it crashes, reason is it cant find my SD card - did some research on it on the web and many other has the same problem
is there a way to remount my SD card to the internal memory so the phone becomes usable for me? if not i hve to somehow ditch the phone and get myself a blackberry Z10
thank you all in advance! :good:

there is a prompt every time app wants root access

app2sd is tested and safe and it works well

Cause you didn't disable your antivirus/anti malware. It's exploit trying to install the root on your device. The exploit was detected by your antivirus & antimalware as a threat so they blocked it. It's truly a false alarm. You will never root your device if you don't trust the exploit.
