i read MANY thread´s here for w/r to sdcard on MM: THERE IS NO SOLUTION for it (only some tries with "busybox" and xposed-modules), but nothing works 100%. on lollipop i only modified the "platform.xml" and that´s it.....
does now a REAL SOLUTION exists to have FULL ACCESS to the sd-card for old APPs not devel. for MM????

Hi
I am trying to get android-rsap.com to work
In their instruction they say to use clockworkmod recovery to patch some system files.
This does not seem to work as (guessing I don't have a recovery mode)
How can I patch system files on an SD android build ?
Thanks in advance
Paul.
Simply unpack the zip file. Copy all to your MicroSD. Under Android copy all from your MicroSD to your internal storage to the right folder.
Thanks ArnomaF
That worked cannot believe how silly I was for not realising this.
the only thing I had to do a little different was copy them with root privileges
I used terminal ans then su (super user) to root
just a note to anyone else applying this rsap patch manually
The original libhtc_ril.so needs to remain in the lib folder as libhtc_ril.orig
and the one provided by android-rsap.com needs copied in along side and named as libhtc_ril.so
commands
su
mv libhtc_ril.so libhtc_ril.orig
mv fileprovidedbywebsitesite.so libhtc_ril.so
I was trying to allow universal writing to external SD card. I tried doing as I have done before on other Android devices, modifying platform.xml. I added in <group gid=”media_rw” /> to WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. I also made sure the permissions were RW-R--R--. Of course I made a backup just in case. When I rebooted, internal & external sd card are not visible. In es file explorer I can only browser \device. Any app not installed on root drive will not work. (such as droid mote & wireless controller) controller works when plugged in.
I booted into twrp and replaced the original file but no dice. I even removed a file (can't remember which file, but it started with a letter P) that was said to be altered with changes to platform.xml which would be recreated. I also tried "fix permissions" in twrp.
Where I'm at now is i downloaded the OS 1.2 images from nvidia. I did an adb backup of I assume only what was it device root (familiar screen from helium!).
Is it possible to just flash the system image to fix this? Or do I need to factory reset & re root?
Hi
I understand what you tried to do, to just give a small tip the program FOLDERMOUNT (gplaystore) will fix the inability to write to sd for your, when you start it for the first time after rooting your shield.
This works on all my shield devices (Portable & Tablet), on the shield tv you will have to sideload it possibly
I guess the best thing to do is go back tot the original release 1.2 from nvidia and reroot, sideload foldermount and see if it works.
Many alternative images for the shield have great new features but unfortunately don't support the wireless controllor protocol used by nvidia yet , they haven't release the drivers either.
Hope this helps & enjoy your Shield Box!
greetings

Thanks. I'll give it a shot. I should have made a nandroid before editing the file. Unfortunately, I thought making a backup of the file itself would be enough. I had just finished setting up all my emulators, mapping controls to my ps3 controllers & changing settings. I should have done this first.
I went ahead and restored my ShieldTV by unzipping the OS package I downloaded from Nvidia into my adb folder and running the included batch file
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash dtb tegra210-foster-e-p2530-0930-e02-00.dtb
(I first flashed system & boot but still was no good)
As soon as I got SuperSU up & running I sideloaded NextApp SDfix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2684188
That seemed to have done the trick. SD is now unrestricted.
The only issue I have now is whenever I boot, leanback launcher crashes: "leanback launcher has stopped working". It done it a few other times, but it seems to be random. Was restoring the way I did the best way to completely wipe the system or could it be something left behind that could be causing issues?
[Update] I don't know what has corrected the force close issue, but I have not had any more crashes. Everything's working smooth.
i just rooted, download SDFIX: kitkat writable sd on my phone, backed up the apk, installed on the shield and used that.
Normally this would be fixed by editing platform.xml in /etc/permissions, but if I try to edit that file I get an error that says the entire filesystem is read-only. The app has already been granted root access, so I'm not sure if this is an issue with root, or perhaps there's something else I'm missing.
I followed the instructions in this thread to upgrade to 5.1.1, then I installed WanamLite from this thread.
Any pointers?
Have your re-root your device?
5.1.1 is a bit problematic to ROOT.
5.1.1 Stock ROM uses secure kernel that causing bootloop when you root it.
Use a permissive kernel to successfully root your device.
Edit:
Your first step (Stock ROM) is not rooted.
I suspected there could be an issue with the root, yeah.
I downloaded a root checker and it says it is rooted fine. For every other purpose it seems to work as expected (editing /etc/hosts to prevent ads works fine, for instance), just not for editing platform.xml.
I had a problem like this problem last week when I moved on to 5.1.1. I was getting a pop-up that said this folder is not writable, when trying to set my folder from the sd card.
Try sdfix by nextapp
I had a problem writing to external storage (Micro SD card) on madOS (android 7.1.2)
After an install I just could not write to the SD card , even after root ...
And this is a problem that affects android from marshmallow onwards (android 5.1 and later)
So here is how I solved the problem...
1) I downloaded on my computer and then transfered to the SD card the following files:
1-- a recovery image of madOS (android 7.1.2) I got from here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=16842#downloads
2-- the pico package of opengapps from here
http://opengapps.org/
(choose your platform , your android version and the pico variant)
3-- magisk manager (an apk ) and the magisk zip from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445
magisk roots like SuperSU , but its the new form of root called systemless root and to pokemo go , safetyNet etc , it appears like your phone is not root and you can use them - but you can do much more with it than the other root applications !!
2) I inserted the SD card into the phone (a jiayu s3 ) and booted into recovery (by pressing the vol up + power button untill the phone switches on and then releasing the power button but keep holding the vol up
I already have twrp 3.1.1-0 installed (madOS requires its own version of twrp otherwise you can't install it. You can download their twrp from here - scroll down on the page to find the link https://forum.xda-developers.com/jiayu-s3/development/rom-unofficial-aosp-n-jiayu-s3-t3451923 )
3) I wiped everything except system and external storage (I wanted a clean install !!)
4) I installed madOS
5) Without doing a wipe I intalled opengapps then wiped cache and delvicahe and rebooted into system
6) I did a few settings on the phone then shutdown the phone and booted into recovery again
7) I installed magisk zip file , wiped cache and delvic cache , and rebooted into the system
8) Now I was rooted (by magisk) - a systemless root , which means there is nothing writen to /system and so it looks like the phone is not rooted to applications that check root !!
9) I installed magisk manager apk , loaded the app , saw that I was properly rooted (be connected to the internet), clicked the downloads button , and clicked to install "App Systemizer". After the install you get a "AppSystemizer" app
I then installed the apps I want from google play store
What App Systemizer does is make a user installed app behave like it was a system app.
SYSTEM APPS CAN WRITE TO EXTERNAL STORAGE SD CARD !!! because they are trusted by the system !!
So I opened AppSystemizer and choose ES file explorer to make it a system app ( when you save you have to reboot phone) , and after that I can use ES file explorer on SD card without problems !!
I did the same to some other applications that I wanted to be able to write to the SD card ...
AND THE GOOD THING IS YOU DONT HAVE TO GRANT ROOT TO ANY APPLICATION !!!
I was always afraid to grant root to ES file explorer because while its the best or one of the best file managers , it has many ads , requires too many permissions when it installs , writes some files to /system when you give it root and I beleive its a chineese spy software .
So now I can now use ES file explorer as I want and without root and so without fear !!!
10) Another good app to install is adaway - it stops all those adds from applications , including ES file explorer
https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/org.adaway
After this you will have a smooth android experience
I beleive this is applicable to any marshmallow and Nougat rom (stock or custom)

In the guide, Method 2,
3) Now download all three update, data, and public files (make sure you rename the files as mentioned above) and copy them either in the external SDCard inside HWOTA folder or in the PC in the C:\..\HWOTA\update folder.
4) Run the update.bat file as an administrator, It will ask you if you copied the files. Press any key to continue.

1. if I copy the 3 files in SD Card, do I put it in /SDCard/HWOTA or /SDCard/HWOTA/Update ? Why the folders are different in sdcard or pc?
2. If I have all the files copied in the SD card, do I run the script directly from the SD card? or I have to put it somewhere on the pc and run it as admin?
- 2. I tried running the update.bat from pc and it works.
