Has galaxy note 3 gotten the 4.4.3 which fixes the sdcard write restriction? Or does it still have to be rooted to write to the sdcard?
??? Why?
I was on Stock ND3, my sd card is fine.
I change to stock NE4, and everything is ok with my sdcard.
And both I tried without root.

Does Samsung released 4.4.3 for Note 3? I’m using 4.4.2 updated recently but still not sd card write permission fixed.
4.4.3 is barely out for the Nexus, it's going to be a while before we see it on the Note 3.
What they fixed in the recent 4.4.2's is the ability to read from the MicroSD.

Yes I heard that same, but this post confused me.
Read or write? mine from the start read well all data by external/non stock apps but cant write. After a recent update few weeks back its still does same. I use wifi FTP to transfer files but its cant write in SD card.

When the first 4.4.2 update came out, 3rd party apps couldn't even read the SDcard. Samsung fixed that problem in the consequential update.
You still can't write to it without either A, apps that use a workaround, or B, Root Access.
ES File Explorer, for instance, works. (For the most part, renaming doesn't.)

All right, I didnt know that. My phone came with 4.4.2 stock and just one or two updates after that and didnt see this (sd card read) issue never. Thanks for the clarification.

How is it possible to have a custom system status if I did not root my phone? I tried to do a check for a software update, and it says "your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." I have not rooted my phone, so I'm not sure how the system could be "custom". I checked the Knox kernel and warranty void, both are 0x0. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I unmounted and removed my sd card, restarted the phone and it's fine. This is the same sd card that I used in my rooted Note2. I wonder if there's something left over that's making the Note 3 think it's rooted....

It works until you reinsert the sd card and reboot. I'm not sure what on the sd card is making it think it's rooted. I think I will try wiping my sd card. Will report back.
UPDATE: Ok, wiping the sd card works.
its because you have a 64GB SD card...note sure why, but i had this issue since my S4 and still have it today on my note 3. It sucks but it will come back whenever you start putting stuff back on your SD, there is no way around this, i've been working on a thread in the S4 section and have over 300 replies but no one was able to fix this

yes it looks like to be specific to a 64GB card...
but I've done a few tests one year ago on my S3 that also had the same problem...
it was working fine with a newly formatted card.
it was also working fine with a small amount of music file... but as soon as I filled my card (with at 5GB space left), it started to show custom status.
Today I found out that I had the same problem with my Note 3 when trying to detect/install the latest update. Sad to see that Samsung did not fix this problem.
it looks like that that process that scans the SD card at boot is causing some type of false identification...
I'm sure it would be an easy fix for Samsung... but you have to find someone to first understand this problem and work on it.
I've contacted Samsung support in the past and the only thing they told me was to use a 32GB card max.
I found something interesting today...
I synched around 50GB of music files today... And after a reboot, I got the custom device status. My sync folder had a few hundreds of files and subfolders.
I moved all the files in one unique folder and rebooted my device.
Boot was faster... Media scanner finished a lot faster... And device status was back to normal.
It's not a fix... But at least it's a work around that might help someone.

thanks
Please help..
I can only affirm that bug.It caused by Kitkat. On my F320K I can't copy files on SD by wireless connection, only onto internal storage. And I can't make a folder in SD card by Total Commander, only can move files from internal flash to SD one by one. The native file manager works fine with SD card though and can easily move whole folder from internal to SD card
Probably its a bug, IDK

OK, I found out, IT'S not a bug, Google f**ked up us once again, it's official behavior now. No program is allowed to write on external SD storage any more, except the stock programs (LG camera still store images to SD card DCIM folder and LG file manager can write, move and delete files on SD)
Other programs are allowed to write data ONLY to there subfolder in folder external_SD/Android/Data
Spread this info and me thinks that this curse is forever upon us
It's from here http://source.android.com/devices/tech/storage/. The same s*1t goes on on Galaxy Note 3 with Kitkat update, I presume that Galaxy S4 will be affected too

Hi all:
this time I see Google insist that any new smartphone should be ships with the latest Android version.
What Google is looking for in KitKat ?
For me I will not update to KitKat !
Because of the following:
"The WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission must only grant write access to the primary external storage on a device. Apps must not be allowed to write to secondary external storage devices, except in their package-specific directories as allowed by synthesized permissions."
That means your microSD card is secondary storage and apps will not be allowed to use it, Google has screwed up the KitKat API as they think there is a big security problem with external SD cards !!!!!
Oh... your SD Card is completely useless, applications will no longer be able to create, modify or remove files and folders on your external SD card. As a for-instance, you can no longer use a file manager to copy files from your computer to the SD card over a network.
in short Google want you to use their cloud services instead of your SD card, I feel like we are going back in time, and Samsung is involved in this game.

I did the KitKat upgrade to my Note 10.1 a couple of days ago. I'm now sorry I did that. Why? The external SD card changes make some of my apps, paid apps, unusable. One of those is AppMonsterPro. It backs up a copy of an APK just before the Play Store updates an app. This allows me to go back to a previous APK should the new version have bugs or create havoc. Unfortunately under KitKat applications can no longer create folders on external SD cards so AppMonsterPro can't do it's job.
Here's a quote from the developer: "Since Android 4.4 KitKat on dual-storage devices (internal / external) apps can no longer write files to external SD card. Some apps can, but only files, f.e. pics, but no folders. AppMonster must write folders in order to work. As long Google does not make SD card useful again, the only workaround is to use internal storage to store your backups."
Not only can't AppMasterPro create folders, I can't delete the folders that were there before KitKat using any file manager program. I have to take the SD card out and use a PC to delete them.
This is a screwed up mess and I would like to know if there's a method, via Odin, to go back to 4.3. Any help would be appreciated.

No offense, but if you're on XDA you should have seen this coming - the external SD issues have been discussed for months and there are even current threads in this forum that were started before 4.4 for the N10.1-14 was even released. You may as well suck it up and stay on 4.4. There are significant improvements, not just to the OS but Samsung's apps too. You're going to have to make the leap some time so you might as well just bite the bullet and figure out new ways to do what you used to do. Does your app that's broken support cloud storage? You might be able to have your backups saved in Dropbox.

Does anyone know if the bootloader was updated in 4.4? That's what'll brick a device and also trip KNOX. I'm not saying there won't be issues (AKA: I'm not responsible if anyone bricks their device) going from 4.4<>4.3 but it may work if the bootloader's the same.

Here's a potential work-around. Samsung's My Files can create/edit/delete both files and folders on the external SD card. Have your app save the backups to internal storage and then set up a dual-window instance of My Files in multi view and just drag and drop them to a folder(s) you've created on the external SD. It's a pain in the ass but a way to keep more internal memory free.
Those of us with 32GB can probably live with more stuff having to be kept on internal SD but folks with 16GB have a tough road to hoe.

Ok, help me. If I install the 4.4 USA image I have two questions. Is there a root for it? (If so can you point me to instructions.) What are the steps to negate the external SD card restrictions?
Yh, Google really messed up though they claim it's for security reasons. Apps can create folders but only the app that created the folder has access to the folder (for "security" reasons). Samsung apps have access to all folders, so the suggestion of using my files should work though it's a headache. My advice, root and be don't with it. The fact is going forward this is the new normal, don't mek sense get stuck on 4.3 as app support moves to 4.4 and beyond and you're there holding on like what happened with Mac OS 10.4, but that's just me. Re going back to 4.3 I did a nandroid backup before I went to 4.4 and did something that made me need to go back to 4.3 and redo the update. It went back using the nandroid backup without any issues, everything worked fine and I re updated and all was well too.
Hope you get it sorted.

You can root your Kit Kat ROM. The procedure is simple and is same as 4.3. Once rooted the fix for your External SD problem is straight forward.
You can follow this or install this app and let it do its thing. You should be good to go.

I'm rooted and wondering if this app remedies all the sdcard issues that everyone is talking about on 4.4 kitkat. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.fmount
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So I updated to Lollipop via the root method in this forum. My apps are having problems accessing the SD Card. For example, in PowerAmp, I can't delete music on my sd card. Titanium backup will not create backups because it can't access the SD Card. BitTorrent Sync is another app that doesn't have access to the SD Card.
I thought that Lollipop allowed apps to have access to the Sd Card now unlike Kit Kat. I believe the App has to be written to take advantage of this in Lollipop. Is the issue that my apps don't support this? Is there some fix i can do like in kit kat? Is anyone else having this problem?
You're correct. It depends on the app. For instance, es file explorer will prompt for it and have you select the bottom level of the sd card ( I know, it's the root directory, but didn't want to use that term because it has nothing to do with the phone being rooted and wanted to avoid confusion)...anyway, after that selection you can do things as expected through that app and the sdcard. btw, I'm completely stock.

When I upgraded to lollipop I couldn't write or delete from my sd card. Even with es file explorer. I had to go to the play store and find an app to fix it. Just search SD Fix and choose one with good ratings (I can't remember the one I used)
are you both rooted/custom Rom? for stock and me at least, I just updated to lollipop then updated the es file explorer app and that was it.

I am rooted, no custom ROM. I just installed ES File Explorer (didn't have it installed before) and I was able to navigate to the SD Card and delete files. So I'm wondering if PowerAmp, TBU and BitTorrent Sync don't have the functionality yet? I'm going to try and un-install and re-install each one and see if that helps. When I upgraded from KK to LP, I did a data restore for apps. Not sure if that might have messed anything up.
I think you're probably OK and didn't mess anything up...best bet is to check with the app dev directly to see if they've considered or are possibly working towards that. So far, I've only encountered one app that uses that functionality from my set of many that's installed...that one is es file explorer. I'm checking with the devs of a couple others I use.

Ok, so I tried un-installing and re-installing BitTorrent Sync but I was still getting a message that it did not have permission to write to the SD Card. So I installed this, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix , even though it's for Kit Kat and it worked. I've only tested it with BitTorrent Sync but I'm sure it will work with the other two apps.

So I wonder if I should just use an SD Card Fix app in the meantime because I really need the ability for those 3 apps to edit files on my SD Card.

Sd card fixer for kit kat worked for me. Titanium works fine now and i can backup to the extsdcard.

Yeah, looks like that fixed my issue with Titanium backup and Poweramp.
From what I can tell, even though I used the app you recommended, not all apps get access. The one that I found that didn't is didn't is Dolphin Browser. I was hoping to be able to save to card. Oh well. I know the fix worked because titanium backup will backup to card. I guess that I may have to email the developer.
