Help Is possible to mount a NTFS sd card without root?

[AlyssaNL]

Hello
I am having some troubles with my HTC Desire 601 as I just discovered I can't transfer a 4,5 GB video on his 32 GB SD card because the infamous FAT32's limitations.
I've read around a bit and it seems that's possible to install some sort of compatibility layer by first rooting the device(or whatever its called).
I've saw a couple of guides and it seems like the process needs to completely reset my device, which is kinda out of the question.

So my question is.

Is possible to have 4GB+ files without having to root the device ^?

Also its pretty pathetic that in 2015 with SD cards up to 256 GB one have to go all this trouble just to transfer a 4 GB+ file, really good work whoever is responsable for this idiocy.

This is the forum for the original Desire. I'll ask a mod to move your post to the Desire 601 forum where you may get better support.

You can thank Microsoft dominance of the storage world and Android's attempt to be as compatible with as many devices as possible with vFAT.

I don't know of a way to do what you want without root. The process includes using a more capable ext type filesystem and you need root to tell the system how to mount it.

No idea why you want video files that size on a quarter-HD phone but that's your business.

Your workaround would be to transcode it to something more reasonable.
