I have a p769 and was on ICS v10g rooted. I used the JB 20d rooted cwm backup to upgrade. I'm unable to move files from the internal sd card to my external sd card. external sd works fine, can use the files on it and play music from it.. anyone know what is causing this?
Instead of using backup and restore it try flashing full custom rom . It may be a bug or ya have not restored ya backup properly or md5 mismatch .
Lookout into the forum for best ROM and flash that
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
I wouldn't recommend flashing a custom rom, plus it is a long process to unlock the boot loader to do so (for the p769), and you really have to know what your doing to get everything working.
Now deadenz what app are you using to move files? you might just be doing something wrong. I have issues moving stuff when connect to a computer when using mtp. I use the smanager app to move files from internal to external.
Es file explorer

I just tested with root browser from rom toolbox pro and didn't have an issue. Issue is with es file explorer?

I rooted my phone for the first time and installed cm7.2 last night. Everything seems to be working great. I only have one problem I backed most of my apps to sd card and used titanium backup for some things also. However I do not know how to get all the apps I backed up on my sdcard back on my phone. when I go to settings/storage it shows that my sd card is there but my apps are not showing up on my phone. Was there another step I missed? How do I get my apps back? Thanks for any help
I know this may be obvious but I am not sure how new you are to rooting. You need to install a root file explorer app first and then go in and reinstall each app once you find out where they are on your SD card.

I will try that thanks this is the first time that I have rooted
Not sure what app to download could you suggest one for me. Thanks
Es explorer and astro are good free options. Root explorer is good if you are willing to part with a few bucks.

Also new android user here. I have been using Astro, it is very nice program.
Hi,
I'm still trying to find a ROM that I can use for my daily usage. My main problem is that almost all the ROMs that I flash fail to detect my ext_sd folder, a.k.a. my external SD card.
When I flash an ICS ROM and go to the file explorer to install titanium backup and restore my apps, it says that this folder is empty.
Sometimes when I restart several times, it finds my SD card, sometimes I have to flash other ROMs to have it but it's OK in some ROMs like CM10 but eventually it losts this folder as well.
Since I'm S-ON, I can't get back to GB ROMs.
SD card may be problamatic but it's OK when I mount it via attaching cable to phone or attaching it directly to my PC with a SD card cartridge.
What could be the problem? How I can check that SD card is OK?
Thanks.
Let me add this that if I open back of my phone and remove and re insert the SD card, it gets detected but it's cumbersome.
Use a root explorer to go up to root and instead of ext sd go into sd card 2 folder. Should be there

Do you have "storage" folder?

After trying cm10.2 I decided to go back to ICS, it appears that I now have two lots of directories some in root and others in 0 directory.
Is there a way I can use Odin to reformat and put all back in its place? Di I need a PID file to repartition back to ICS partitions.

No, your SD card is messed up due to the jb 4.2+ file system. If you don't wanna waste time moving them to the correct places, backup what you need to your computer and format your SD card in cwm recovery. If you do not want to format, then move all your files out of the /0 folder to /data/media(which is the SD card partition), i.e. /data/media/0/blabla to /data/media/blabla.

Thannks for your help. I ended up formating all, using Odin to reflash stock, reinstalled root and cwm then used my previus backup.
Thanks for your quick response.

I think I have seen this addressed somewhere before but I can not find it.
I have just updated to KitKat and am using Freeza's Stockish rom. When I try to run a restore in Mybackup, I am getting an error that says, Unable to write to sd card. Make sure the sd card is inserted properly, is not connected to your pc, and is not full.
When I go into Es file explorer, it shows all the files there.
How do I fix this?
I also see in Titanium backup that is says sd card not writable.
I GOT IT!!!

I'm curious to know if there's a workaround for those who aren't rooted.

This seems to be a common problem on the deodex rom. I will post what I did to fix it. Just know when you go into a file explorer it is going to show 2 external sd cards. They are both the same, it just shows 2 now. You have to do a simple build prop edit with a program like root explorer. Just navigate to system/etc/permissions/platform.xml. long press on platform.xml and select open in text editor. Under WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE...Add this entry... <group gid="media_rw" />

Yea, I tried @micmars xml edit, it worked to create folders on the SD card but I still couldn't save twrp files to my SD card in recovery.

I'm having this issue as well on official 4.4.2 rooted. Can't copy files from internal to external in both root Explorer and es file manager.

The fix that I found allows me to do anything with the sd card.
I get the error when initially trying to copy the files.. seems like the error rests with the internal storage and not the sd card.

Here's an interesting read.
http://www.gottabemobile.com/2014/0...ote-3-android-4-4-problem-hits-micro-sd-card/
The "Problem" is not actually a problem apparently. Google actually designed KitKat this way. They are trying to keep as much as possible on internal storage.
I'm also on Freza's Stockish ROM and had the same problem. I can confirm that the platform.xml edit appears to fix the problem of not being able to write to the external SD.
But strangely, Titanium Backup still reports that the backup folder is not-writeable, but then when I run a backup it finishes successfully.

Same thing happened to me. I went into recovery, cleared cache and dalvik, and rebooted. Everything showed up properly then.
TWRP issue fixed by flashing the file located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471564&page=47 Post number 462.
Created my own flashable zip from the factory upgrade file, latest super such and latest dual recovery. This went over a slightly older copy that was rooted.
Everything else works. Verify root comes back as rooted. Root explorer has no issues accessing all areas of storage. For some reason titanium backup cannot write to anything but the internal SD card storage. It will not write to any other area including the external storage.
I tried writing titanium support but got nada.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can try to flash this via TWRP and find if it can fix your problem.
