[FIX] Z Ultra GPE 4.4.2 SDCard Write Fix - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

TO DO THIS YOU MUST BE ROOTED
If you guys haven't noticed you can't copy a file from internal sd to external sd (confirmed by me and others) Well I figured it out.
I remember something about OTG not being able to read from external on apps like Tibu with other devices. I did something similar to get it to work on the ZU GPE.
If you are rooted you can copy this file to /etc/permissions/
I tested copying a file from internal to external and it worked fine after this change.
I did make a couple changes to the file, I'm not sure which did it but one of them did. I am attaching the file
Just rename from platform.xml.zip to platform.xml, back up existing file(the attached file is NOT a zip.. it's a XML file just remove .zip from the end of the filename), copy new file and change permissions to match the old file

The zip file is corrupted.

Same with me before.. I got messed copying this.. Had to reflash ROM. The permission is rw-r--r--
Clear steps:
Download file
Copy to etc/permissions folder
Find the old platform.xml and renamed it with platform.xml.bak (as a backup)
Rename the platform.xml.zip to platform.xml
Set the permission as same as old file (rw-r--r--)
Reboot.. And done

It is possible paste to External SD card Root but can not paste to External SD card Folder
Anybody?

Dis fix did not work for me to. What else can we do? GPe is excellent but without SD card is useless to me. Any other solutions?

OK well I'm not rooted and I'm not trying to root for preserving my boot loader is my concern until I'm able to acquire a new device for rooting purposes so is there a fix for non rooted devices

Flash the tweaked version which includes the SD card fix.

Will need to flash a kernel with custom recovery first - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49565501&postcount=337 with Flashtool

I've been using this rom already but I can't write in folders inside the sdcard, my only solution is gaining root access but this won't work every time.

[Q] Cannot move TitBack DeviceManagerService files to Titanium Backup folder

Hi:
Have successfully re-rooted my NT, and am now trying to block OTA using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1405418
But cannot get files to move to Titanium Backup Folder. No matter what I do, I get the below error message. I have tried moving files via USB, rebooting and trying to move via USB, and shutting down Nook and removing MicroSD card and attaching directly to my computer.
What gives? Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks!

thats weird... hve you tried with drop box or es eplorer?
I just installed it.
I moved zip file to folder on SDCard then extracted using ES - that worked.
However, when I restored backup, I still have 1.4.0 .
What did I do wrong?
I tried redownloading the unzipme file but when I try to extract the contents, it tells me it is a null file.
That must be a hint of some sort!
I had the same problem. The root cause was that I couldn't copy directly from within the windows "virtual zip folder" to the sdcard. I had to first extract the files to another directory on the computer and then copy from there to the sdcard.

I tried that, but it didn't work. I was able to shift the files into the folder using ES (as noted above), but the version didn't change.
Just looked in my Titanium folder and there are 5 files, btw.

Are you sure you restored the right one? Perhaps you should move them all out of the TB folder and try again.

It's a good question-- I did indeed restore the wrong one! Went back and restored the 12/22 version rather than the 12/26 (today's) and voila! I have version 9.9.9.
thank you SO much! So obvious, but....
Love you people!

Write files on system directory.

Hi all.
I'm trying to copy some files to the system partition after enabling write on read-only partitions and remounting it and everything is success, but when I restart the phone, files get deleted and partition back to original. I tried ES file explore and Total Commander.
Galaxy S2, cMIUI 2.10 JB
Hmm.. seems like a hard question!

Hey,
no not a hard question but a bit confusing
So the copy to system works without probs?
Do u have root-enabled on it?
U can try Solid explorer once, too, to be sure.
CHEERS
I enabled root explorer and I mounted the file system to be writable, yes I have a rooted phone.
I can copy to system root folders anything (media files), the files stay there until I reboot the phone then they disappear, they get deleted maybe? how to disable that?
Thanks

That listen like u have to save changes?!
Pls try the Solid explorer (for me the best explorer ever)
Copy files and have a look for root-acces request (should be asked for Solid, if it's new)
The copy/replace the file.
CHEERS
Thanks Hannibal for reply, I got no luck on doing it, they still get removed after reboot. Is there a way to flash these files that I want to copy to system as an update.zip?

Sure there's a way, but I can't help u with it, sorry.
With new Titanium Backup u can create flashable .zips but for sure only from isntalled apps.
Maybe u have a look at google. I remind for a tool which u just say what u wanna flash an it creates the flashable .zip.
Much success....

Edit: Sorry but couldn't answer u yesterday.

I mounted as rw when I did an even tried this method: drag files to any folder on your internal memory. boot into recovery, mount data n system, go to file manager n look for your files, click on the files n move it to system/font. wipe cache, reboot

Get Rom toolbox and go to the interface section and click on fonts. Now click Local fonts. Now you want to find the font you want on your SD card and install them in a click. So Simple. Much Easy. Fast. Such amazement. Wow. (Doge meme hahaha)

Unable to delete obb files

Hey Guys,
I'm unable to delete obb files. It doesn't matter which method I use, the twrp file manager fails, adb fails, root explorers are failing. Any idea how to delete this? The unnecessary obb files are now almost 2GB big :/

Internal storage. But it's not only 1 file, there are 3 more files.

1. try deleting with solid file explorer. move the file somewhere else then delete. if the filename is too large, then rename it to anything small, then delete.
2. if no success, backup everything to pc, then wipe dalvik+cache+data+system+internal storage via twrp.
then "format data" in twrp.
copy rom and other stuffs to a usb otg drive or microsd and flash what you need.
hope this will help.
U must hava root for this and a root explorer. Go to the device/data/media/obb, here u will see a copy of obb data files exactly like your internal storage. Just delete it and you are good to go. Try it and thank me later if u want.

Unable to delete obb in internal storage
I too faced this problem for a day trying different methods and queries, they didn't help then I tried checking my developer options. I found that mock SD card is turned off so I turned it on and after rebooting my device. I was successfully able to delete the obb
Problem faced XIAOMI REDMI 4A
Just a bonus tip: if even root explorer fails, try total commander with root access. No guarantee that it will work, but I found that tc can do many things of those the others fail.
