Root Android 5.0.x - Fix for no access to internal SD card

[saltire]

Thought I'd post this link here in case anyone experiences not being able to access the internal sd card after upgrading to LP 5.0.x (I haven't experienced it but seems a few have):

You need to be rooted, and have adb/fastboot on your pc to use this.

Or if you have a terminal emulator installed, type the commands in EarlyMon's post below.

Mods - hope the credit statement is ok, and if it might be useful feel free to sticky, or copy into one of the sticky posts, or indeed consign to oblivion

Thank you!

I'd seen this already, didn't bookmark it and was looking for this yesterday.

Also - adb shell is not required - you can do it in Terminal Emulator as well.

In the Terminal Emulator, just say -

su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Thanks, was wondering if that would also work. Two methods available then!

Yep - if one doesn't already have Windows adb drivers sorted out for the M8, no need to go through the confusion just for this.

Pretty sure he mentioned that in the XDA thread, but if not - basically anything that you can do with adb shell, you can do with direct access to the shell via Terminal Emulator.

I use the heck out of it.
