If I try to rename or delete files from SD card with astro file manager, I get insufficient permissions error.
It was working few months ago, is it ICS update or astro update problem?
Anyone has same issue?
Thanks in advance
Just tried deleting a photo with Astro and it works only when viewing the photo with the device's gallery or the app quick pic. I am on ICS.

Permission for writing files to and deleting files from sdcard and sdcard2 (external SD card) was changed in Android 4 (ICS); user write/delete permission was diabled. This change broke many apps that could write and delete files with previous versions of Android. If your ICS is rooted, you can use Condi's AIO tool's Tweaks and Mods item 12 to enable the write/delete permission for sdcard and sdcard2.
Hi,
I recently rooted my galaxy s2, GT i 9100 that was running with ICS 4.0.3 with CF root kernel SGS2-XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.4-CWM5, and installed Resurrection and remix 2.6.1 ROM.
However, now my external secure storage data are not accessible, though there is a file "external_sd" under the "sd card" in the OI file manager. I used some other file managers like X-Plore, ES file manager ect but for no avail.
And, the external sd card is not shown under "storage" option in the phone too. Phone galary, music players etc also don't recognize any of the videos or photos saved in the external sd card. Please somebody help me solve this issue..
Regards

Look for your external in /mnt/emmc/.
have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568
But if you bind external SD from /mnt/emmc -> /sdcard/external_sd you will not be able to save photos on external by stock camera app.
Create an folder on your internalSD for mounting your external
Open up Root explore & find the location of externalSD in root (usually it ll be in /mnt/ folder)
open terminal emulator on your device
Type this code
PHP:
su
PHP:
busybox mount --bind <location in root> <location you need to mount>
i created a folder named 00ExternalSD so that it would stay on top
My ExternalSD mount location is /mnt/extSdCard
And the location am gonna mount is /mnt/00ExternalSD
So mine look like this (first you have to be superuser so type SU & then this code )
HTML:
busybox mount --bind /mnt/extSdCard /mnt/sdcard/00ExternalSD

Hi, where can find Root explore?? Is it an Applicaton that should be downloaded from google play?
Yes, from GPlay.

I am using ES file manager and X-Plore file managers and OI file managers. And I can see a folder "external_sd" in /mnt/sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd). However, when I open up external sd, it is empty and no data available, it is just an empty folder.
One more thing is, earlier(before root and new ROM), when I opened the "Phone Storage", the external sd card was visible with available memory space etc, but now there is nothing to be seen as such
Also, how to find terminal emulater? I have no idea about it
If you have any data on card, copy it to PC and then format it to FAT32.
Terminal = adb.

Excuse me, this a " micro external sd", and cannot mount on any of the slots in the computer...and cannot accesses using USB also, as any of the file explorers does not read the data in the memory card..
You don't have any adapter?
I will try for an adapter..and try your way also...
thanks
It is a bug with some cf root kernels
Flash your stock kernel, then either use a fixed cf root or better root with method 1 in my signature

Be careful: FACTORY RESET can delete your data in the external memory card too.

Hi,
I got a memory card reader and mounted the external memory card and browsed the folders, but to my amazement it has no data, and that is why the videos and images were not shown in the gallery.
I think this is what has happened;
On the day I rooted the phone and installed the new ROM, the phone was not getting GPRS and then I did a factory reset on the new ROM. However, before this reset, all the images and videos were available and accessible. While doing this reset the phone got dead and then I removed the battery and re booted after some time, the phone re booted with the loss of some applications, and after this incident the I didn't see the images and videos stored in the external memory card. I never thought that a factory reset would destroy my secure data in the external memory card, but unfortunately it had happened. Can anybody believe this??? However, I re flashed the new ROM again and searched for the data in my external memory card as I never thought that the factory reset had deleted the data in my external memory card too.
Now, I am clear there is nothing wrong with the phone, ROM and kernel, it is the FACTORY RE SET that deleted all my data in the external memory card, now I can see that external memory card is already there but all blank.
I thought that this is a problem of not reading the external memory card,but that is totally wrong. Since there was no data, I was mistaken that data was not accessible(because, who believes that external sd card will be deleted by a factory reset).:crying:

ROOT EXPLORER is an paid app can be found in google play
Use ES File explorer / Solid explorer , its free & does the same work (do much more than root explorer)

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.

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.
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

Yes it's working. Thanks a lot. I was going to losing many important files
Hey there,
I do use a HTC10 with an SD card and have the SD card working as adoptable/internal storage.
So far all works fine but I do have a problem with the "/Android" directory being on "/storage/emulated/0/Android" (or "/sdcard/Android" - I'm a bit confused about that).
While I can write to my SD Card (creating a folder for instance) using ES File Explorer Pro just fine, I cannot write to the "/Android" folder. That wouldn't be a problem but the system itself seems to lack permissions to do so as well?!
I deinstalled Dropbox, decided to "delete all settings and files" when asked by Android but got a toast message saying "cannot delete "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/.com.blabla.dropbox". Also I cannot create a directory under this "/Android" folder, ES File Explorer gives me "This task failed".
I assume there might be some confusion with partitions and permissions - anyway you know a way to help?
With kind regards,
Sam
