Hi All,
I've just updated to MM and everything is running perfectly with root. What a difference in performance!
I have always been able to save stuff into SD card regardless of app using SDFIX patch. (It was meant for Kitkat but also worked on Lollipop)
Is there a fix for this? I want all apps to have access to SD Card..
Or is there a way to create a folder on the SD card for full access? I'm quite confused using these options as i've always applied the SDFix patch
Many thanks
Have you found a solution? I went to edit the permissions and didn't even see the external storage permission in the file, so I'm not sure it's as simple as it used to be.

Nope, still don't know how, i'm just using workarounds for all my applications that require it at the moment. Feels backwards as I use my SDcard a lot since upgrading to MM, but worth it for my phone not lagging anymore!
I do love the upgrade a lot!

Hey there. I got a Xperia Sola recently and am loving it so far. Getting this has been my switch from IOS to Android and so i'm a little unsure on how to do things, I need a bit of help with something.
Going over to android I was rather excited for some of the larger, more intensive apps that my old iPhone3g couldn't run so I bought myself a nice big 32gb sdcard to put all these apps on. Today I bought NFS Most Wanted, installed the downloader thing from the play store and set it running. When I came back later, I was sad to find that rather than installing to the nice spacious 32gb external card, it had downloaded 2gb of files into the Internal Storage and half filled it. How can I move these files to their intended place on the external card, and how can I make future large downloads go onto the external card as well? The only options I can see in the settings menu are Move to Phone or Move to Internal Storage/SD.
Thanks in advance ^_^

Thanks, but is there no way to do it without rooting? All of the rooting methods I've been able to find for the Sola (I think the one by Bin4ry is a popular one or something?) use the restore and backup thing and that refuses to work for some reason, just gives me an error message every time I try so I haven't been able to root the phone yet.
Edit I think i've figured rooting out. What does the "set abd in path" thing mean in that first link you gave me?

Try this if you are on ICS
Settings> Apps> Downloaded/ALL > NFS Most Wanted
Tap open it. Scroll down and there would be a button reading move to phone! Click it and see if that works. If It copies the file from internal storage to the phone's user available storage then download any market app like app2sd to further transfer the game files to your ext card.
I don't know whether it'll work or not. Still give it a shot!
Happy to help!
hi I've rooted my ZU but I couldn't get Folder mount to work.
I mean the games that I transfer to sd card using folder mount couldn't work.
Any suggestions?

can confirm with fat32 tolder mount still does not work on xperia ultra. works fine on my xperia z tablet though. wondering if our root method is the problem rather than the app itself.

Hi. Continuing your question here:

Hmm, everytime I tried to mount a pair, the phone reboots, then the mounting resumes but I got the message "Error: extSdCard permission - FM could not fix the external permission and ownership. This could lead to read/write issues for apps that try to access your mounted internal sdcard folders. Please try to remount all pairs after a while manually". Never used foldermount before, so IDK what's wrong here :silly:

thanks for trying, that seems to indicate foldermount is the problem, not necessarily my chinese root. haven't had luck getting su installed in its place, but it lets me change build.prop which is what i needed to get to .510. really wanting foldermount to work so i can install more than just 14 gb of games and movies.

Thats not good... I'm waiting for my Ultra to arrive. I use foldermount normally as well. Lets hope the dev can sort it out.
Why don't you just put the movies on the external though?
maybe you need to fix your file permission. i recall i done this , previously either FM didnt work or self reboot after mount and will stuck on boot loop

can confirm remountrebootfix app does work! First i installed the superuser app from the app store, did not delete the chinese su app though as it doesn't seem to be a problem (keeping it for now), rebooted to make sure i still had root with superuser instead. then ran the superuser.bat, deleted and reinstalled busybox (smart install). Can confirm foldermount works just fine now.

360root method works directly on 510.
vroot doesn't work on 510 (if applied directly).
I myself used vroot on 475 kernel that is flashed on a 510 FW, and reflash the 510 kernel after root. Now my 510 is rooted. Also changed the chinese root apps with superSU.. Plenty of step-by-step guide in other threads in the general section

Thank you for this. I went to the 360 root site(In Chinese but used google translate to english)(Pic 1)
It redirected me to the software download page (PIC 2)
Downloaded the software but since its in chinese im completely lost. (Pic 3) Would it at all be possible if you could share with me how to go forward?
The other 360one root I found ( http://shuaji.360.cn/root/ ) only works on Chinese OS.
Thanks in advance.

Just plug your phone into your PC with 360root application running and hit the big, green, ROOT button and there you go.. Your phone will restart automatically, that means the process is done and you can close the application on your PC.
Remember the 360root requires connection to chinese server and therefore depending on your connection you might have to set up proxy on your PC. More detailed guide for this, go here.
Also, disable your antivirus, especially those that come with firewalls.
If 360root somehow doesn't work, use the 475 kernel workaround to root your 510. Guide here.
Another easy way (and more reliable) is through recovery, guide in here. But this requires unlocking your bootloader.

The batch-script actually solves the issue.
Thanks a million!
Being unable to move large game data to SD was driving me insane!
Thanks again!

Made my day, use the batch script and the job is done, works like a charm in my Xperia Z tablet.:good::good::good:
Sorry if this was answered as I did not read all 200+ post. I rooted and linked Madden 25 which is 1.15GB and Merriam Webster Dictionary which is 93.7MB. Thats all I did and I have low storage message, 91.52MB available internal and my Miscellaneous files are 7.18GB. Someone please explain to me like your talking to a 6 year old????
Thanks,
EDIT: I fixed, Linked "File" from Internal.storage
Just got a new dell venue 8 with 4.4.2 on it. I also bought a 64gb micro sd card for it. Having a issue getting anything to move to it. I am new to android and the reason I got the tablet is for the sd card expansion which I now not able to use. Is there something I am missing or is this locked. Seems odd to have this expansion sd if you can't access it easily.
Thanks for your help on this one.

Yes it shows up there but when I try to move anything I get a error file permission not able to write. I did format the sd card a couple of times in the venues settings thinking maybe that was the issue. It shows up there too but all i can do is format it. So not sure why that write error comes up no matter what i try to move to it.

so that problem is a new "feature" that comes with kitkat
to fix it you can install this xposed module

Not sure what happened I started up the tablet and there was a ton of updates from Dell so I did those and now i can access the sd card and move stuff to it. Not sure what was in all the updates one was a firmware update but seems they corrected the issue and I don't have to go and root the device for this function. Odd how that worked out but thanks for all the help. I will in time more than likely root the device but until I get better with this OS I will be happy I can just move stuff over to the sd card.

Hi,
I am looking purchase LG Realm LS620 during blackfriday. Is it possible to root this phone? Please help me with links...
THANK YOU!
Yeah I Used Towel Root it worked just fine then make sure to install SuperSU & Busy Box also search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root heres a link to the apk for towel root https://towelroot.com/tr.apk :good::good::good:
Yeah towel root works fine, idk if theres any custom recover for it tho, been looking since i got it, ive tried using xposed framework, but its not the same as using cm roms
yeah i have yet to find a custom recovery or any development for that matter but im sure hopefully soon someone will do something with this thing.
Towelroot worked perfect! Thanks
Would just like a custom recovery, I as well have not found one.
I have bricked my LG ls620, any chance of asking someone to rip /system/app for me, or perhaps the entire stock firmware?
Writing issue to the SD Card after using Towel Root with LS620?
Thanks for the info. I should be getting an LS620 today. I would like to disable the activation wizard and I understand the way to do this is to:
1) root phone
2) install free version of titanium backup
3) uninstall LGSetupWizard 4.3.019
Regarding the rooting portion, you mention "search some thing in the play store to fix the writing issue to the SD card after you get root" . I am not sure what this means can you let me know what issues are related to writing to the SD card on this device after rooting with Towel root and what application and process is needed to resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a copy of your stock rom? Or and update zip i can install from the sd card to re write the entire system?
Yes
Towleroot works perfect!
Even unrooted on newer versions of Android you can't write to the external SD in less you root after that es3 will be able to but I'd you want other apps to you need to use
a app such as SDfix: Kitkat writable micro sd, which I used on my LG Realm, hope this helped
Sent from my LGLS620 using XDA Free mobile app
Yes, it is very possible

Hi, again Link2Sd but that seems to break system sometimes.
Here is something you can try goto A11 build move apps to SD then update, I guess it should probably or they removed that feature for good cuz that might had bugs to resolve on newer Android.

Yeah, I already do that, I'm currently on One UI 3. I really hope One UI 5 fix this issue.
O don't think its an issue they might be trying to optimise device by making no apps on SD as after boot device lags for few seconds like 30. ^_^
