Root can't write to any sd card.

[epicboy]

Hey guys. So I'm on stock with root access, and I can't write anything to my internal or external sd. If I try to download something, it automatically says download failed. On CM this issue is non existent, but I can't use cm due to the bugs present. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Your internal storage and micro SD card might be mounted as read only instead of read/write. Sometimes this happens although I'm not sure why. If you have root explorer open it, navigate to your internal storage and SD card and near the top where it tells how much free/used space you have it will say r/w or r/o. If it says r/o press mount r/w. Other root file managers probably have this function but root explorer is all I use usually.

Long and short of it is this;

/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml

You need root and edit in that file to ' sdcard rw " with an editor.

Nope, that didn't do it. It was mounted as r/w but I still can't write anything on my sd.

An easy way to do this is with the app "KitKat External SD Card Patch" found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tch&pcampaignid=APPU_1_E9T4VPjMBrSNsQTpx4CIBQ

What still puzzles me is that you said you can't write to your internal storage either.

For now I'm on cm. Its not the permissions or mounting problem. It must've been something I installed that messed it up. Previously it was working perfectly fine.

This happened to me when I installed cm then went back to stock. I had to format data.
