I recently updated my Sprint S4 to NA7 at a Sprint store. I rooted it, but now the apps can't backup with TB. There seems to be a read/write problem which I've never experienced until now. Does anyone know how to correct this issue so the Internal storage (phone) can "communicate" with the SD Card? Thanks in advance.

This has been discussed a whole lot in the past few days. Check the dev section. There IS a solution. Just involves adding a line to a file

I really appreciate the response. I've been through a couple of developers threads (unknown forces, etc.) and couldn't find it. That's why I was hoping someone would provide a link to it. Once I get there, I will also have to teach myself how to add that line (or any for that matter). Thanks. I'm not a noob, but sure feel like one. This is the very first time I've had to ask a question. It's very humbling.

what version of titanium are you using though?
The sd write fix is posted in unknownforce's stock NAE thread, post #238 I believe
Thanks for the help...whatever the latest version is for TB.

So where do I start....I'm new and as such I obviously have a question.....Hey all!
I've been following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2369130&page=36) for a while regarding rooting and flashing android 4.3 on my S4 (International LTE). I have done so and I love it.
My question is why can't I access all my internal memory (16GB of it), It only shows at 9.25GB ish free. I know the stock S4 used a lot of memory, but why, after a wipe/reset can I still not access it? I would have thought it would be gone.
Is it a case of it being needed for use by my newly flashed 4.3 ROM (is the ROM using it as the stock one did), or is it just sitting there being wasted? How could I wipe it and what are the implications of doing so?
If this has been asked before I haven't looked hard enough, please link me to the relevant thread and I'll dispose of this one.
Many Thanks
Anthony
You can't use it because it is the system partition. It is reserved space.

As you can see my dates are a bit off. Ive done some searching and found others who have had the same issue. No definite solutions or explanations have been provided. This is super frustrating. Not sure why its happening or how to fix it. Im running the latest twrp, before that I was running cwm with the same results. I just did a backup about an hour ago and i couldnt tell you which one it is. Any help would be much appreciated.
Idk it was like this on the sprint gs3 also with twrp. So I just name the backups myself with the date I backed up.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
The TWRP source is messed up and no one cares to dig in and fix it. Just manually name your backups.
I'm using philztouch and have not noticed the problem. Also a cool feature of that recovery is that it says what rom it is in the title, so even if the date happens to be off, the file name will give away what backup it is.

That has been an issue for over a year I believe. All CWM and TWRP versions that I am aware of have it. One of the Android updates broke the date function from what I recall. Might have been Jellybean. Since you can just rename the backups to whatever you want I guess the priority is at the very bottom of the list.

I use twrp 2.5.0.2 on this device and do all my nands to external and name them what they are.

Try Dream TWRP I installed it and my BU dates have been correct.
Yeah. Some have said there's a setting that you can change to fix that. I've yet to find it.
hey all im trying to update twrp via goomanager "no recoveries were found for your device" is the error message i get when trying the prefered method(updating from 2.5.0.2 to 2.6.1.0). now i know i could just go change the recovery .img or even odin it in but im being stubborn and dont wanna lol. has anyone else had this issue and if so how did you fix it? im currently on liquids 2.9 (but ive flashed about 3 differant roms to make sure it wasnt a rom issue).i have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling goomanager.apk....model number is correct in the phone... any ideas?
Why did you start a brand new thread? Such a waste of space.

To bring my question back to the forefront. That was last week and out of all the views I had zero response ....I'm actively trying to track down this issue and correct it because for me it us a problem.....I think this has to do with just sprint phones......or it could just be mine in particular but whatever the case I would like some kind of guidance other than "use an alternative method" if this is a bug I can't believe I'm the only one having it......

Okey well that's not a vaild reason to start up a new thread. Like I said before its a waste of space. In your older thread you could have said thanks for all of the responses but there has to be a better way.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
well since i cant get the dev from goo manager to respond to me and everyone in the TWRP thread insists on going about this with one of the alternative methods i guess ill just give up my search since the only one posting in this thread has had ZERO suggestions as to what could actually be causing this problem. mod please delete
Hey everyone,
I've been having issue where I cant download anything directly to my SD card. It occured after the 4.4 update. I get messages of insufficient space or download failed. I cant download pic, pdfs or videos. The only way I can save to SD is downloading to the device then moving it with the file manager. Any ideas?
Ive formatting the card a few times already.
Thanks
Brian

Hey Brian! This is a known issue. A quick search in this 4.4 update discussion thread of the in the Q&A section of the forum should've given you the answer. There's also a flashable fix in the development forum.
*Remember to search first before asking :good:
Thank you Kevin,
I did search the forums beforehand. Unfortunately all I could find were fixes for Rooted S4's. I received the official OTA two days ago. Would you happen to know where I could find a solution for my unrooted device?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
piss on sammys KK...lol.. wait till one of these devs hooks us up with a rom fixed....
im running negalite v6 myself.. like i have room to talk, however if your rooted id go to stockish v6 untill something is updated...

Oh you're not rooted..well currently, I don't think there's any until Samsung realizes and pushes out a small update for the users not rooted.
You should root your device! Super simple process and a whole lot of benefits

It's not an issue, it is by design. Google wants you to use the cloud and not an sdcard to store data so they removed functionality of the sdcard with kit kat. Kind of like when they removed the ability to move apps to the sdcard after gingerbread. Hopefully Samsung will defy Google again and add functionality of the sdcard back in a future update like they did when they added the ability to move apps to the sdcard with mf9. But if you want to have it now you will need to root your phone.
Yeah that's tough not being rooted. I would be pissed a throwing a fit with Sprint. They've disabled a function of the phone. Seems like it could become a legal issue if the right people got involved.
All the more reason to root and live free.

Guys it's not a Smasung issue... It's GOOGLE that did it purposely. They are slowly trying to get rid of external SD cards for whatever reasons -__-

Reality is whoever is "at fault" ... you might as well sell me a 5 inch screen but only let me use 4 inches of it ... I purchased this phone because it has the sd card function. I might just call and complain to Sprint myself.

Sprint has nothing to do with it. IT IS GOOGLE!!!!!!!!! How many times does it have to be spelled out for you. GOOGLE wants you to use the cloud not the device. They want you to pay high data rates to use your content. Calling Sprint will do nothing, if you want to complain, flood Google with complaints about eliminating sdcard writing with Kit Kat! Or root you damn phone and fix it yourself.
I'm running lolipop 5.0.1, and my phone is just full of bloat. I have countless AT&T apps, and, for some reason, uber, along with tons of other apps that I will never use and are just taking up space on my phone. I've looked online for so long trying to figure this out, and I just can't. I've tried framaroot, Kingoroot, and kingroot, and none of those have worked so far. any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kingroot DESKTOP version but you need to work through the Chinese. Several posts on here about using it in cling from me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
These apps do NOT take up space on your phone. They occupy the system partition of your phone. If you still want to debloat, the best method is to odin back to 4.4, root then flash the 5.0 update. You can find the directions in other threads here.

I also have an S4 SGH-I337 5.0.1 without root, and would like to do the same. However, I have a MAC. I've heard of Jodin for MAC, do you know if it's virtually the same as Odin and the downgrading can be done with it, too? ~Thanks

I had to feel my way through the program looking for things like OK and where the mouse pointer changed. Sorry no screen shots but the flow is similar to a lot of other programs. The rooting does take about a minute.
As you can see from the tag line, I've upgraded to a LG G4.
