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.

Title says it all. I would like to keep all of my saved tons and backups on my external SD card but CWM doesn't see or give me an option to backup or flash from external. When I first rooted the option was there but after I installed CWM ROM manager and had it flash to the newest version 5.8.4.7 it stopped giving external card options. Anyone else have this issue?

Yeah, same problem here. I had to flash the touch 5.8.4.5 touch recovery that is in the S3 forums. Only issue is the date is wrong when backing up.

I might be facing the same issue. Here's another question. After updating to 5.8.4.7, did you loose access to seeing your externeral_sd while in your phone? I haven't been able to access it at all since doing the update. Going to try to touch recovery soon.
What happens when you try to mount it from the mount options menu?
Sent from my htc_jewel using Tapatalk 2
Doesn't see it in cwm for me. Whether I mount or unmount. I can see my external when using root explorer or an earlier version of cwm. I paid for the touch as well and it still doesn't see it.
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 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!!!

Did you figure this out? Having the same problem.

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.
Anyways I got the HTC one max about a month ago. Love it but lately my sounds were messing up so I called Verizon up and did a factory reset and updated to the new Ota. I cannot transfer any file in between my internal and external SD card. And before I did this factory reset when I got the phone I was able to restore my text messages using super backup pro so I'm assuming not being able to move files in between the drives is also making my restore not work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
EDIT 1: After further research it seems the ota is the culprit. Damn it lol. I've managed to restore my text onto my old s3 and just use verizon cloud. not the viable way but it works i guess.

SDcard write permission issue after 4.4.2 OTA. Root can fix the issue by editing permission media. Restoring data from SDcard would not be an issue since OTA 4.4.2 can Read from SD, but can't Write on SDcard.
Hmm it seems odd then that the backup I made to my SD card can't be or won't allow me to restore my text to where I assume is the internal SD card

I am having trouble downloading from online and backing up from titanium backup to the external micro. Do we have to do a sd card write fix? I thought that got rid of that.

Isn't there an app that fixes the issue? Can't believe LG hasn't done something about this yet. This was an issue on the G3 also.
Haven't loaded Tbu yet but for other apps when you go to write to the external SD app there is a prompt to give permission to that app to the SD card.
Go to app store and download NextappSdFix. I had to do the same thing. Just run it, and reboot.
that worked , thanks make123
That fix only works if you are rooted. I have an ATT version of the V10 and (so far) it cannot be rooted.

Some apps will prompt you to select target storage in the system which does not require root (root explorer and andftp support this feature).
A fix for those people who are having problems writing to the microSD Card (as mentioned above). Put the card in a PC and right click on it. "Rename" it or go into properties and "Label" it. On one card I had to format "exFat" & label it.
