Maybe you need to root your phone and then find an APP named "SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD". Tell me if it works or not

Use default file manager comes with phone, after Kitkat update third party apps can not write on SD card.
Xposed Module
If thats because of the KitKat restrictions, you can download a Xposed Module named "KitKat SD Card Full Access" activate it and reboot and you're done :victory:

Umi Zero has ROOT access but cannot access file explorer and missing SD card

Hello guys,
I have had so many problems with this flipping phone, 1 problem after another. I've installed the latest ROM 6.0.1 Resurrection remix marshmallow and I have root access as I have checked through RootChecker, but every time I try clicking on gallery { no external storage available) and camera the same.. also cannot access sd card even though I have internal storage..apparantly I need to give everything root access but I don't know how, I already have supersu and superuser.. Now I don't physically have an SD card but i had no issue like this before with previous ROM. File manager also says " this operation requires elevated permissions,Try changing to root access mode" I have already done this by clicking APPS and ADB... I don't know what else do I do.. I have installed this ROM using ROOTJOY if that helps, and every time I plug in usb, it shows Umi zero and then "this folder is empty" .. does this make sense? someone please help, thanks

Rooted S7E: No SD Card Write

I recently bought an S7E. I was a little disappointed that there was no full root for the thing, but understand the situation with the locked bootloader. So I went the engineering root route. All is well and good there other than I hate that I cannot seemingly install any kind of recovery and make a full backup of the phone. Nonetheless, I the reason I am posting is that I have an issue with writing to the SD card. I have formatted the card with no change. I tried using root explorer to change the ownership of the card with no change (says it can't because of no write permissions). I even tried the KitKat fix I think it was in that you modified the platform.xml file to get write permissions. I had to use ADB to do that though but it too still made no difference.
So I am kind of out of ideas here. I first noticed it trying to run Syncthing which I use to sync files across devices for work and, of course, I use the SD Card for that purpose. However, other apps are unable to write as well like ES File Explorer, Root Explorer and so on.
Does anyone have any solution to this? I am on T-Mobile if that makes a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Just to see if any fresh eyes on this may have some clues or answers. Thanks.

Install Fx explore from playstore. Click 3dot menu select enable write access.select 3dot menu and again select show all storage then from side menu select memory card then select right symbol on the bottom, you are done.
Thank you for that Anik49. That will get me functional for the moment, but is there not a way to make it permanent? Syncthing is unable to write to the SD card and I have yet to find anything that would adjust the permissions for that specific app or that would more generally give write access to the SD card outside of the file explorer.

Without root you have to give app permission to write on sd card but not all app have the option but with root you can do this you need xposed framework install on your phone. Then install xinternal sd apk and give the app proper permission. It will enable all write access to the memory card.

Apps can have permission to internal storage but I believe sd permissions changed again in oreo and apps can't really access it but you can still link sd folder to bittorrent folder with app2sd
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd
In folder mount set source to bittorrent folder and destination to sd folder
try disabling "fsync" in miscellaneous section of kernel auditor it worked for me ?

Apk Root Folders

Does anyone know how or where to access where apps store their data files?
I’m using an external hd but for some reason not all my apps create a folder in the Android folder on my external drive when installed.
When I use root explorer I can see the path where The apps are installed to but no data at all seems to appear when I access my internal device. I also have show hidden files clicked. Any help is appreciated.
No need to respond figured it out... thanks
