Hi,
I've purchased a sd card but I can't write on the sd card with ES Explorer. It says me:
Your system forbids ES from writing on external SD card (check https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail....)
Any help please?
Many thanks and sorry for my English!
Hi.
It's a kitkat restriction, you can't use ESExplorer without root
So... there is a workaround without root?
There is no workaround for ES Explorer without root.
And is possible with other file explorer?
Thanks
Only the one that's preinstalled.
You can manage your SD card from PC, it's the easiest way
Yes. I'm trying to configure torrent client to download directly in sd card but it's impossible

That sounds like a problem of an older App which has no support for Android 4.4 (yet). Else it could very well create it's own directory on the SDcard and just work.

Hey
I just flashed paranoid android last night and for some odd reason I cannot locate none of of my files on my ex SD card. I was told in cm9 they change the pathway to emn or something like that but that's no where to be found? I never formatted a thing when I flashed the from so very weird that its vanished. Under storage I see SD card down below and it says Mount SD card so but you can't click on it or anything so what has happened.
When I tried to do restore with TB it could not find my folder as it was installed on ex SD. Now in storage it shows USB storage right at the bottom and this is where my ex SD should be i imagine but underneath this is says mount SD card!
Any help would be great.
Thanx
I dont know about your issue with TB, but you can find your files using Astro File Manager.
Open Astro, click "Up" and mount emmc insted of SDcard.
Hope it helps.

I used to use astro and I now can see my SD card as u said....do u know if this is just a issue with cm9 as I liked using es exploror...
Is it best to just use astro as es is a root exploror.

It's not an issue, CM mounts SD card as emmc only. you can disable root access option in ES and it will then just act as file explorer

iam confused jeetu! lol
i cannot find my external sd card in es exploror, so since CM mounts EX SD as emmc what do i need to do to display this? their is no emmc folder listed. now before i flashed this cm9 rom, ES folder could display my ex sd card fine.
So a root exploror and file exploror are the same then? should i just stick with astro as i can see my ex sd card under emmc.
my issue with this, was when i tried to restore my TB backup, i could not find my files as its backed up on my ex sd card. thats why iam irritated by it, or does that have nothing to do with it! lol

Can you check in setting> storage if you SD is mounted? Root explorer can do everything that a normal file explorer can do, it is just an advanced file explorer with root access. Just having root explorer is enough. Can you find SD in root explorer or some other file manager?
Edit- Got it, go to TB preferences and click "backup folder location" and then hit "detect" It will then detect your backup folder and then click "use current folder", that's it.
Hey
Yes in astro I can find that emmc file and all my files are present. Its just ES I don't see it at all or no option for me to enable it. I'll rather just have one root explorer.
In storage it lists my SD card and below it' it says mount SD' insert a SD card for mounting So I guess its unmounted?
I used backup pro for my apps but I really don't think it worked as well but if it gives me issues. I'll just have to delete apps again and maybe use TB

Yes, if your card is not mounted then obviously it's unmounted , re-insert your card and see if that helps, if not then you may have to format it. I have faced this issue several times after flashing custom roms (specially CM based)

Well, I may be new to this, but if he can see his external sd card and the files in Astro it must be mounted?
Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.qbanin.binder&feature=search_result
go to mnt/emmc
Its there using root explorer.
And you can use icsbinder from playstore to bind it to sdcard/extsdcard
Just check first two options in icsbinder and reboot.

Hello I have Samsung GT-I9000 and I'm familiar with the phone, more or less. Recently I've bought a used Samsung GT-I9000 for my wife and I noticed that in file manager the shortcut for the external sd card is missing, same is with Root Explorer. I can access the external sd card by accessing the folder /storage and everything works but there is no shortcut. This has not been a problem until recently I wanted to upload a file to my skydrive folder which by default browses the sd_card_0 folder and I could not reach the external sd card. Please if someone could help me how to create a shortcut/link to the external sd card in to the build in sd card. I have searched for similar problems and solutions but I could not find any. Thanks

Hi tihis a know bugs (if you have ICS or later )
Anyway the solution may be the same, use directory bind (serch this app in xda) and create your shotcut where you want (root are needed )
try mnt folder. or make sure sd card are properly inserted. Any rooted file explorer can access to sd.
To make it clearer, this is the problem on the phone - the pointed folder is missing!

I'm not allowed to post external links so please go to the quoted url.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm using the awsome Xylon 2.4.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 ROM for I9000
try to browse ur url but da img not available there
after http there is a blank field which needs to be replaced with ://
i ........ nevermind.
are u rooted?
to be sure, juz rooted da explorer by clicking setting in menu button, and redirect everything to /storage/sdcard1
ur sd and internal are quite there so whats da problem? all 4.2.2 version already in ext4 so da folder /external_sd doesnt been used anymore, its for GB, u can see it by going to properties of da /external_sd and see there will be no space available.
JB uses /storage at / to indicate da sdcard, its proper that way and easy to organise
at /storage, there will be 2 directories, /sdcard0 (indicates your internal and /sdcard1 (indicates your external sd)
as i see here, there is nothing wrong with ur pic and fone
edited: i use root explorer so its taking a while for me to download CMfilemanager (well, gonna change ROM after this so installing it not a bother to me)
da first 2 thumbnail is my root explorer, the other are da same file explorer as yours
see thumbnail:
To solve this problem I used SiMi Folder. see this link
I also found Smart Shortcuts, which I like even better. see this link

Use Q&A forum
And BTW, there is no issue with SD Card and 4.4. Read up on it and you'll understand how it works.
any one can help to work, it is not working. for exemple whennusing astro ican't copy or move file from internal to sd card, and i use aqua camera pro it can't save in sd , and other camera app

Maybe out of topic, then Sorry, but who have 4.4 can move the Apps to SD?
for me ES is not working on 4.4 but file commander that come with stock is working!!
Stock file managers are the only ones that work on kit kat for external sd cards, This applies to any phone running kit kat, only system apps have full acess to the SD card
so in our case file commander is the only file manager that works with the external sd card
System apps are also the only ones that can copy/move/create/delete or download stuff on the external sd card, unless they have their own private folder AND if you delete the app then all files in said private folder go out with it too

im using total commander and i have full access to my sd-card.
that said:
i love total commander because of it's two pane view mode and those useful plugins. i've used it since windows 95 on my PC, so i was happy to see, that there is an android version of it.
i don't know why it's never mentioned on xda. are there any downsides to it? ive never had any problems with it. it makes moving/copying files so much easier
edit:
here's the link, have a look if you like
Maybe I'm not the only one to come up with this solution but I use es file explorer and adownloader and I could not get them to write to the SD card so I downloaded link2sd and converted both apps to system apps which then fixed both apps write issues. It has worked for me has anyone else tried it?!?

I tried to copy around 2GB of files from my internal Memory to the External SD Card and a dialogue box appeared saying I need to root and use SDcard Fix to be able to move files using the file manager[Solid Explorer]
Suddenly I regret buying this phone because why would I need to unlock bootloader and root just to be able to move files from Internal Memory to External sdcard?:crying:
I don't have such problem accessing (copy move delete) sd card. I'm using X-plore file manager
while some apps like Nexus otg file manager have problem copying files to sd card, don't know why
Try ES File Explorer. No problems here with no root.

Thanks it worked.
Bought the S2 today and after creating a new text doc using officesuite only then I realise the file cannot be saved onto the 64gb sd card I have installed, why is this so?
I have filed on this card, the tablet recognise them fine, play media files from it, read text from it etc... But I can't save documents onto it, receiving error access denied??
Please advise of how to get this to work without rooting (not keen on rooting at this stage because of warranty, will wait until warranty is over). Many thanks
Either root or ask the developer to update the app to properly request write permission to the sd card.
Work around, save to internal first then using stock file manager move to external.

I have the same issue and i download large torrents .. is there any thing else i can do?
I think the problem is with Google.
I think from KitKat on they disabled write to SD card.
I don't like it either but there are workarounds.
Remember all the Nexus machines do not take SD cards.
Maybe if we pester them they will relent and give us back our rights - after all they are OUR machines.

Could yo share some of those workarounds, please.
I'd like to download Kodi content to the external SD card (or USB stick connected via OTG), for example.
Thank you.
The easiest way is by connecting the tab to a computer. The computer sees the SD card or the USB stick and is able to write to it.
This get's around Android's limitation as the computer is Windows.
Another way with a decent file app is copying to internal memory and then use the app to move it to the SD card.

I don't understand, in your first example, how I'd be able to use that. When downloaded from the internet and writing to the SD card on the tablet.
Use the file manager app...find the file and move it the SD card from there...very simple..no need for a computer
