Hi, I'm using a galaxy A03, very similar to A02s. In file managers, I can only move files and put them in data folder, but I cannot delete them nor move them away. After a quick google search I found out that the android 11 storage managerment is called SAF which stands for Storage Access Framework. It doesn't allow me to do the tasks above. So I tried to disable SAF using this command in ADB:
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage off
My phone automatically rebooted, after that the storage turn wierd
Check the picture in this post, you will get what I mean
I just wanna know if anyone know how to disable SAF but still keep access to everything in the home directory.
I have the same phone, but I haven't tried that ADB command. Have you tried restarting both your PC and the phone again, and/or updating the drivers? If it does not work try undoing your changes via adb shell sm set-isolated-storage on.
BTW I see you're still on Windows 7, you might want to upgrade to Windows 10 (and 11 if possible). It's still free but Microsoft doesn't advertise it, you can search around
Oh, I also found this comment on Reddit:
About disabling scoped storage entirely while there is a command for that last time I've tried it on 11 it resulted in both internal and external storages being unable to be mounted

Haha, my pc is slow af so I must use windows 7
I tried to set isolated storage off and nothing can be read when I boot up, and available storage shrinked to 128mb

And it's easy to revert the change, the point of the post is to find out the way to disable scoped storage but still keep access to storage

Guys, can we really actually do this? Why don't you just use file manager and give all those permission? Or is it me that too noob to understand for what this is all about?

Am able to see and add folders to what I'll call the root drive (little phone icon as seen via ES File Explorer). I have been assuming this is the 11GB freed up by rooting device.
Anyway, I added three NEW folders for my stuff (music, documents and videos). Was able to copy over files. But, when I booted up, they were gone. vanished!
Whats up?
I think the 11GB are in /data/app thats where all the apps you download are installed
OK, but is that where all the additional free space lies from rooting it and where I should put all my stuff?

Anything under the /data directory is the ~12GB and that is where you should be putting your stuff.
If you're putting your stuff under just / then it will be lost at every reboot, as it is a ramdisk.
Very much appreciated and explains why the folders I created there disappeared twice. Do I have to put everything into the 1GB space first, then move it over or is there a way to get "direct access" to it?
Thanks again!

You could adb push the data there.

Android Debug Bridge has a command that allows you to move data from your PC to the device.
The command is "adb push [local file name] [destination file path]"
Ex. ADB push smokegetsinyoureyes.avi /data/media/smokegetsinyoureyes.avi
Also, before the transfer, you'll need to change the permissions for /data/
Swyped from my B&N Tablet
sorry - but where do access the place to put in this command? Are you referring to DOS?
..it sounds like you are on windows..
You have to have the Android SDK installed ( or at least have the adb binary), correct drivers, and adb connecting to your nook tab.
details here and here (link from the FAQ thread)
then try the following commands in your "dos" window (winkey+R, followed by cmd to launch it)
adb devices (should show s/n if nook tab connected to adb)
adb remount (should remount filesystems writeable)
adb push commands as described above... perhaps some windows / dos scripter has a bat file or a quick one-liner to push all files in a given directory to a defined location ???
Today my Tablet (Hyundai A7HD) with CM9 started behaving very strange.
It doesnt recognize my sd card, nor its own internal nand storage anymore.
I dont know what to do, since i cant even flash an update through CWM anymore without a functioning storage medium.
the sd card works fine on my pc and i cant format the internal storage through my tablet.
what else can i do to fix this?
I could really use some help, if someone knows a way to do it.

Supply more information. How do you know it's not detecting the internal storage? What are the symptoms? In my point of view, the device would be bricked in this case. Can it boot at all? Or is it fastboot complaining , trying to flash it? The internal memory, is it a MTD for /system plus an MMC for /data, or only an MTD? Only one MMC? Does the devices still exists or not? The partitions..?
Give us some more information, and we'll see if someone here can come with an intelligent suggestion.
Thank you for your reply!
The Device is an Hyundai A7HD and it says that what it calls "sdcard" but actually is its internal storage is damaged. Formatting doesnt work.
It still boots fine but cant access the internal storage, so nothing can be downloaded onto the device and such.
It has a special partition where applications are installed, but nothing can be saved there.
im guessing that something is wrong with the OS, and maybe i could fix it using ADB (if someone could explain to me how)?
Ok, so no /sdcard and /sdcard is supposed to be the phones internal memory, no /data partition, hence not able to download new apps, but the phone boots and so, i.e. system partitions works fine.
This sounds quite like this (confusing) thread to me. In summary, we are talking about three devices, the internal MTD device with /system, boot image, cache etc, the internal MMC device with /sdcard and /data plus an external sdcard named something like /sdcard/external_sd. The internal MMC broken beyond repair (hardware failure).
Still it may be something else only reassembling this.
If you believe your problem is due to some problem with your ROM I suggest you try to reinstall stock ROM using the vendors standard flash tools.
If this doesn't work, we can see if a solution similar to the one in the thread above may be applicable to you.
When i use Astro file manager to look at my phones storage the internal memory calls itself "sdcard" and my ACTUAL micro-sdhc calls itself "extsd" in a folder called "mnt".
the original flash tool doesnt seem to function anymore since i would normally hold down the "menu"-button, then plug the cable into my pc and while STILL holding menu id press power 7 to 10 times and then flashing would start automatically. but ever since installing cwm and a cm9 custom-rom, this doesnt seem to function anymore.
EDIT: in Clockwordmod recovery its called "emmc" for internal memory and "sdcard" for my actual sdcard.
Ok, this is consistent. Can you do a couple of shell commands?
# mount
and
# ls -l /dev/block
... and paste in the result here. As root or as shell user (or any other user) doesn't really matter.
when i plug the device into usb it says debugging enabled. so i open adb and type in "adb devices" and it starts listing devices. But no device is recognized.
EDIT: it recognizes my phone tho.

Select "local", give the session some name of you choice and connect. Now you are running a local shell in the same way as using "adb shell". You are familiar with "adb shell"..?

Hey guys,
is it possible to access the internal storage via adb, without having a display?
My Galaxy SII Display is broken, but the rest should work.
usually i have to lock in with the security points that have to be connected (i dont know how that is called in english),
to allow access via usb.
now that the display does not work, i can not go that way.
so is it possible to access the internal storage via adb?
or do you have another way for me to get my data back?
i am not going to buy a new galaxy s2 and replacing the motherboard,
because its not worth it.
i have cm10.1 installed with dorimanx kernel, and root is allowed for adb and apps.
i never used adb, so i dont know how to start my search.
i also have the problem that i dont know how to look for that thing,
because im not english.
it would be nice if you can give me a start,
or another way to access the internal storage.
i also thougt about accessing via recovery.
i think i can go into recovery, and by pressing volume and power keys,
i can naviagte to mount data.
but im not sure about the steps,
so if anyone have a dorimanx 7.xx kernel,
can you please write the steps down for me?
thank you.

if you can mount in recovery then mount everything in recovery,connect your device to PC and the open command prompt and navaigate to folder where you have set up android sdk.
now do the following
1) adb shell
2) now type ls -it'll list all folder and files.
3) now navigate to your sd-card (can't tell exact name for internal sd card) by typing cd <directory name>
4) you can list all files by using ls command.
5) Once you find the exact directory name of sd card and files to be recovered then type exit
6) now type adb pull /path/to/your/folder/filename.File will be saved in working directory...
i don't have s2,just helping you with some common adb stuffs.
btw you can use adb file managers which provides GUI.Like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
adb
Connect the phone to system, Open terminal and do adb remount then adb shell.
Now do ls, you will be able to see all the folder and everything. Go to Sd-card folder and there you should have all your data.
There is and app ADBExplorer. I have never used this tool, but you can check it is GUI.
Thanks,
The ADBFileexplorer worked very well for me.
Just booted in recovery and started the explorer.jar in the adb folder.
Thank you for the tips.

Hi I can't connect to the Wlan Network at our university, which is using wpa2 enterprise.
When I click on the network nothing happens. On askubuntu I found something, but I don't know in which file on my phone I have to put the text in.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/586300/creating-a-wpa2-enterprise-connection-on-ubuntu-touch
Yes, WPA2 Enterprise isn't supported by the GUI yet.
The file you need to save that to needs to be called
Code:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<your network's id>
Replace <your network's id> (including the brackets) with the ID of your Wifi network. In the example it would be "eduroam".
(Please note that you need to save the file as root, i.e. using sudo.)
I tried it yesterday with the file, but it didn't worked. But I am not sure if the file is correct for our network.
I followed this guide http://www.danbishop.org/2015/02/21...ther-802-1x-wireless-network-to-ubuntu-phone/ and now I get a connection. Only username and password have to be changed.

Sorry if this is a semi-hijack, but this seems the most relevant place for my question. I can't get access to my uni's wi-fi either (aquaris ubuntu edition phone), and I was wondering if anyone knows if the functionality for wpa2 is going to be added in the near future? I don't have ubuntu on a desktop atm and I don't want to have to install it just to tinker with my phone, which also seems a little bit daunting to me, worried I will explode my phone or something.
I don't know when they bring wpa2 enterprise support via gui, but I think it is a must have feature. You don't need ubuntu to get it working. I can upload the file I used, you just have to change 2 lines. You can use putty to put the file in the right location.

1. Activate Developer Mode on your phone
You can activated the Mode under Device info, developer mode
(But you have to set a password for your phone before, if I am not mistaken)
2. Connect your Phone via usb to your computer
3. Download adb for windows: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
The installer asks some questions, I answered all questions with yes.
4. I attached a File. Just change username and password.
Then remove the file extension (remove the .txt)
You have to activate show file extensions in the windows explorer, to remove the file extension
5. Move the File on your phone e.g. in the download directory via usb
6. Run the windows command line tool (I use Super+R and then just run "cmd")
7. Run "adb shell" in the cmd
(When it says: "error: closed", you have to unlock your phone)
It should say something like "[email protected]" now.
8. Move the file from the Download-Folder to the Network-Manager-Folder:
"sudo cp Downloads/eduroam /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/"
Password should be your phone unlock password
9. Now go into the Networkmanager directory:
cd /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
10. Run the following commands to set the right permissions for the file:
"sudo chown root eduroam"
"sudo chgrp root eduroam"
"sudo chmod 600 eduroam"
11. Reboot your Phone
For me this worked. My English is not that good, so just ask, if you have questions.

So far I can't get the adb shell to recognise the phone is there, it just keeps saying "error: device not found" so I'm kinda stumped right now
I got this error the first time, too. I just reinstalled adb, while the phone was plugged to my computer and unlocked and answered the driver question with yes, then some driver were installed.

Does anyone know if or when there will be wpa2 functionality on this os? Or where I might ask? I need it for accessing my uni wifi stuff, and if it's going to be a while, I'll just shelf the phone and forget about it as a phone without internet access is pretty much just a paperweight for me.

According to the corresponding launchpad issue, a fix has just been made available. However, it will probably take a month until it is in the stable builds.
If adb still doesn't work for you and the issue is that important to you, you can always also try following the guide using the terminal app on the device itself. Will take some time to type the commands in but it should work.

I don't have access to a linux pc, and for some reason ubuntu wouldn't install for a dual boot when I tried that either. I also didn't see an app that would let me use the terminal on my phone - I've not had much luck with this lol. However, for some reason the adb stuff randomly started working on my friends linux pc and he friend managed to fix something up for me today, so all is well, for now at least :s (I also noticed the terminal app on the ubuntu store once I finally did get the net working.)

Great that it finally worked.
Hey Guys,
Been lurking for a while. I want to get into some Android development. I bought a cheap Galaxy Tab s SM-T800 from ebay. It was a retail unit, so came with the usual retail protection, but that was no issue, I've reflashed it and rooted it, it is now running 6.0.1 with build number MMb29K.T800XXU1CRJ1.
The issue is, there are a bunch of apps and files that appear to be left over from the retail demo mode, and I can't remove them. The apps won't uninstall, it just says "uninstall unsuccessful", and the files, when I try to delete them, it just says "failed to delete".
Even after freshly restoring the new firmware, the storage on this device is pretty much zero, a lot of the space being taken up with the files and apps that I can't remove.
There was just about enough space remaining to install System App Remover, but that couldn't delete the files and apps either.
How are these files being write protected? How do I go about removing the write protection? I'm wondering if this device, because it was a retail demo unit, was configured with some kind of write protected partition, which is why the storage is so low, and why I can't delete the apps?
Any thoughts, this is driving me nuts.
Thanks

Thanks, but I can't install any of the file manager apps, as there is not enough free space. I'll need to do it by connecting from Windows. What android partition/file manager would be a good one to use from Windows?

Because your device is rooted, you use ADB ( read: Android Debug Bridge ) - what you've to install on your Windows computer - to manage this device - you must have turned on Developer options -> USB Debugging on it, of course: IMHO the only the chance you have.
Once done so, you connect your device via USB cable with Windows computer, then in Windows command prompt run the commands as follows - one after one:
Code:
adb devices
adb root
adb shell mount -o rw,remount / -t auto
If success then your Android device completly is switched to READ-WRITE mode, you then via further relevant ADB commands can remove folders/files which you consider dispensable, even apps if you know their package name, and so on ...

Thanks for your details.
So I tired this but the adb root command wasn't working. It was coming up with the message:
adbd cannot run as root in production builds
So after a bit of research, I found the adp insecure app from Chainfire, that apparently resolves this exact problem. So I've deployed that to the tab and run it, but now when I connect the tablet to my PC, the PC doesn't connect. I get the charging symbol on the tab, so the connection is in place, but it is not detected by the pc, so I can't connect using adb.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated?

I realise I am responding to my own message!
Now that I am running with adb insecure, I have realisd that the USB debugging mode from developer settings is working in reverse. That is, if I enable it, the tab detaches form the PC. If I disable it, the tab reconnects to the pc. However with that setting disabled, and the pc connected, when I then run the command adb devices, it says there are no devices connected (even though I can browse to the tablet through windows explorer)
From within the adb insecure app on the tablet, when I enable the app, I can see it displays a message that says USB debugging is disabled.
I have no idea what is going on here...
Any help much appreciated?
Thanks

Thanks for this. Actually, adbd insecure was just causing more problems. In the end I have resolved this by extracting the PIT file and re-partitioning. Firmware then restored correctly and all the problems are now gone, and there is plenty of free space remaining.
