I am using software es file explorer in my Android phone. it can encode (encrypt) any file, image or videos in this software by a password. Recently i updated my explorer and also the ROM of my Moto E and after that whenever i try to decrypt the video files, it says "task failed".
Please help

Try this.
Haven't used this feature before but seems es encypts the file and stores password anywhere which got lost during rom switching.
Not working for me
Hi, it's not working for me.. suggest me different idea where I could able to recover my encrypted files.
If the encrypted file is in the SD card ,try copying it to the internal storage and decrypt

is there a way to utilize internal storage that's allocated for bn content after you get root?

It is my understanding that root and gapps hack places gapps in system folder and grants it access to installing apps and app related data, books, music, etc on the partition 15GB section. However, the usb downloaded content goes to the 1GB partition.
Once you are rooted you can store all the files you want on /data (there is around 11-12GB free by default). App installs also go to /data. The problem is that when you connect the Nook to your PC it only mounts /mnt/media and /sdcard. You would need to copy your files temporarily to to an SD card and then move them to /data (from the Nook) for long term storage.
The other issue would be media apps not scanning and seeing the files on /data. Some apps let you add additional search paths, so /data would be better suited for large movies, PDFs, and other files that you would normally launch with a file manager.
We are working to get the partitions swapped, but without the ability to write custom boot images we might be stuck (for now).
I have the 1gb limit for Nook Tablet and solved it as follows with this workaround:

Your nook tablet must be rooted to even see the additional storage and you must access it
through a file explorer like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer - it cannot be accessed via
a PC running Windows or linux. Make sure you go into settings of ES File Explorer and tick
Root Explorer and Mount File System.
I store my media (videos, mp3's, etc. )
in the /data/media directory
and - I started with about 12Gb free.
YOU MUST set the directory to be R/W using ES File Explorer and changed the permissions to
allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using ES File Explorer).
I copy files to my sdcard that I want to store in /data/media directory, and then copy to
/data/media area where I want them to be stored. After copy and test, then delete from
sdcard.
I was then able to access the files in /data/media with ES File Explorer.
I use ES File Explorer to locate mp3 file for single play of music or use Meridian to play
albums.
I use ES File Explorer to locate avi file, touch file name and pop up suggests MoboPlayer.
Enjoy your Nook Tablet (rooted).

I'm using ES File Explorer on the NT to link to my PC via WiFi and copying over large media files to /data. Had a few problems with this at first, but a bit of Google research fixed it up.

If i use Wifi to transfer data, will it be consider as downloading??? because i have fixed amount data i can download...
Can somebody clarify that..
Cheers!!!

If you're PC and your Nook Tablet are both connected to the same router, then it should not affect any bandwidth caps you may have. No data is leaving the house.

I have been using Android Commander for Windows to see the Nook Tablet's file system. I am new to this software but I was able to download .apks to my pc then install to device, within Android Commander. I am also able to read, write, change Permissions, copy files, push files, reboot device, and more all from my PC. there might be better software, but this was free software and from a Dev from the XDA community. hope this helps somebody else, or start a conversation on alternatives or if their is better, but for now this is my choice. Thanks to PanPiotr for this Software.
I am not able to transfer files to the other space that you receive during root
in the root--> hack folder
when i try to transfer things with any file explorer, it will copy some and then freeze and crash
tried to transfer 3 gigs of music from my SD to the folder
I haven't had that problem. Try uninstalling ES File Explorer, then reinstalling from the Market. Make sure you go into settings and tick Root Explorer and Mount File System. I've been moving files from my SD Card to the Nook's Data folder. That subtracts from the "off-limits" storage.

Hi,
I bought a z2 yesterday. formatted my old 16gb microsdcard to use in my z2. I can see the folders and the phone can read my card. So i tried to download a file directly to my external card but it showed me a error lik "no valdi folder" or something like that. After i tried to create a new folder in my card using a file explorer but it gives me a error "operation stopped". Any idea why and any solution?

On Android KitKat applications aren't allowed to modify the files on the SDcard. They are only allowed to place files in their own folders on the SDcard (/SDCard/Android/data/app_name if I remember correctly).
You can fix this only by gaining root access and modifying build.prop.

So this means i cant save any file to my external sdcard?
rooting wouldnt be a problem.. but editing the build prompt..?

Uch, I was wrong about the build.pro. Actually you need to modify "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml".
Here is some reference:
http://jrummy-apps.com/fix-sdcard-on-kitkat/
Root access is essential.
You can create a folder if you use the file explorer that came pre installed on the z2, all downloads go to internal storage but can be moved to sd card with 'file commander' this is the only app that can create and move folders to the sd card, apps such as astro and es explorer no longer have the permission.
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but PocketCast can download and save the files to SD card without any problem. So, if this one can...
Yes PocketCast CAN write to the SD card, but only in its own folder, not everywhere. And it could write to a public folder (there are some defined in the Android SDK).
See Jackos post above...
Only software that is installed as system software may modify the files on the SDcard outside their personal folder. For example the build-in file manager.
File Commander (The built in file manager) is able to read and write to external SD. Use it instead of any other third party file manager app.
So, I'm not a noob, been rooting and running custom since the Nexus 1. I've searched and tried every fix, but no joy! I'm running doom's latest kernel and Monx latest rom. I've manual changed the proper files, and I've used apps like Fix SD and others and still can't write to my external SD card. Obviously, I'm rooted, so what am I doing wrong? I've seriously tried everything! Even the Music to SD module for exposed acts like it works, but when I try to use Play Music, it says "no space available". Even the Z2 built in "Transfer to SD" facility fails.
Please help!
Thanks,

Try this:
1. Using a root-enabled file manager like root explorer, navigate to /system/etc/permissions
2. Edit platform.xml file and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.
3. Add this group definition: <group gid="media_rw" />
4. Save changes.
5. Restart.
:good:
if the above method doesent work for you
you can try using a xposed module called handle external storage, it automaticly alows use of your External SDcard by default
*(you need root , xposed installer and the modle its self (it can be found from within the xposed installer under downloads)
Tried both these methods. To be fair, I tried them both again, just to make sure. As far as I know, all methods modify platform.xml, but no matter what I do, I can't write to the sdcard1 folder. My usual test is using Root Explorer to try and create a folder on Sdcard1. Always fails. Honestly, the ROM I'm using should have been enough, as it comes with write to external SD already enabled via the platform.xml tweak already. I even did a full factory reset yesterday to test. Still no joy.
Any other thoughts?

Still not working
Many thanks to the gents who replied already. Unfortunately, none of the posted solutions are working. I can't find any information in the forums or elsewhere online that points to this. Everywhere I look, it says that the modification to platform.xml is THE answer. However, I've made those modifications nine ways to sunday and I still can't do anything with my external SD card. Can't create a file or folder using Root Explorer or E Strongs. Can't write backups using TiBu is the BU folder is on external SD, etc. Can't set then succesfulyl use the save location for camera or music apps as external SD. Very frustrating.
Has anyone seen or heard of this happening?
Thanks,

Nope. Card works fine as far as I can tell. I can write to it via MTP when connected to my lappie and I can read from it just fine. But, I'll try a spare card when I get home just to completely verify.

i'm having the same problem but my phone is not rooted, i usually us ES File Explorer to do my file browsing and management but for some reason i can't delete, create or rename files or folders on the external SD card.
i did a clean format with my SDXC card in the phone when i first started the device and that's usually exFat. and thats when i started to notice the problem,... i couldn't delete or create files or folders from the ES File Explorer app,.... so i did a clean install again with the ES File Explorer and the problem is still there,.... also when taking picture and deleting the unwanted pictures that i took.... i would still see the pictures i deleted in the picture gallery / album....
im still confused on whats going on,.... last night i reformatted my SDXC card to FAT32,... but the problem is still there,...
i tried using the File Commander app that came pre-installed with the device...... for some reason i can rename, delete and even create files and folders.... this is the only app that let's me do all those things when it comes to the external SD card.
other apps such as QuickPic won't allow me to delete, rename or whatever i have to do my pictures on the external SD card

If you're not rooted, it's how KitKat now handled external (SDCard) memory. It does not allow apps to read/write outside of it's own folder.

Yeah. That's expected behavior on a non-rooted KK phone. My problem is that I'm rooted and I can't get anything to write to external. Total Commander, Root Explorer, ES File Explorer, Camera apps, etc. Nothing will write to External SD no matter how many times I make the required mods to the platform.xml file. It is driving me nuts.

I had the same issue before when I upgraded my S4 to KK, but installing FolderMount solved it, when I started the app it showed me a message that my phone has some settings that will not make the app work and it asked me if I want to correct it.. I said yes, restart and viola every thing is okay...

Yeah you need to use the built-in file manager, File Commander, to delete your photos on microsd for non-rooted.
Looks like it was a bad card after all. I swapped it out and now everything works as it is supposed to. I have other issue, but I'll open a new thread for those
Thanks for the help folks!
hi
i changed on a different ROM and ES File Explorer can't perform file encryption on my external SD card anymore
but it was ok on my previous ROM
i tried different ROMs (based on CM13 also) but i still cant encrypt files on my external SD card
i always clean flash (wipe data/system) when i changed to a new ROM
thank you
(error says like this)
Could not open file /storage/
extSdCard/lockFile.pbx for the
reason: /storage/extSdCard/

It is a MM limitation, even with Root access, ES cannot decrypt these files on SD any more! You can move the files to sd/android/data/(es folder)

Nope. I had used ES encyption at extsdcard in my LG Magna with stock MM and worked fine.
But i can't use in Samsung Galaxy Note II with RR rom 7.1.2.
I can encrypt only at storage/extsdcard(or anything)/android/data/com.estrongs.android.pop/ folder. The file that you want to encrypt, must move to the folder.
Problem solved. You need rooted phone and with Lucky patcher or Titanium backup app convert ES file explorer to system app.
With this you will be able to encrypt/decrypt on internal or sd card memory.
This worked for me.
But be careful, it will erase your .eslock encrypted files (this happend to me ) so backup your encryped files.
