you have to download an app called SDFix so you can write files to the external SD card. by default KitKat blocked writing to SD card so this will override it. once you run the app then just rerun titanium folder location and it should work.

Can u be a little more specific?
Titanium backup works awesome for backups if you have root,if not then you will have to do a directory crawl with a pc and back up that way.

i upgraded my rom (paranoid android) and it has android 4.2 on it. but with multiuser support, the sd card contents got redirected somewhere else, but it didnt take my files with it. so now none of my apps see my files. i need to know how to get them into a readable place.
You should have done a backup with titanium before installing the new rom,then you could have reinstalled titanium and restored appa and data.The multiuser file system is a pita,install your apps from playstore and then find the directories they hold their data and transfer it manually.Time consuming but unless you have a nandroid of you 4.1 that you could install to do a titanium backup on thats the way to go.

I made a nandroid already. My apps aren't the problem. I only need to get to my old sd card contents. That has my app backups from rom toolbox.
So you need to move your rom toolbox backup from your old sd to your new backup location so it can restore?
You will have to use a file manager or pc to copy paste from old location to the new one ,finding the new one might be a pain but I believe the old one should be sdcard/romtoolbox folder.

I figured out where everything was. My old sd card stuff was under "mnt/shell/emulated" while the new sd card was under "/sdcard". kind of a pain trying to find it.
Good to know.
Cheers

You can't pull internal sd, because it's a part if internal memory.

So, there is no way not to loose data on sd?
I know about backuping apps. But SD is also wiped(music, videos, caches, others)
Ha...missed the 'internal' part...

Really? All 32 Gb's?
Seems that problem is solved. CWM recovery has 2 options: format /data and format /data, /data/media
Wipe command from firmware sends the first command(seems to be compability problem with CWM), so SD content is lost during wipe. We should not use it and make all wipes only through CWM recovry.

Need a link2sd type app

I'm looking for an app that will work with me phone (s4 jftle cm11 ktoonsez) that I can link a folder from my main memory to my sdcard (eg modern combat 4 obb folder is 2 gigs alone) and move the files to my external SD card (sdcard1) while the app still "thinks" the files are on the internal original folder. Amy suggestions? I tried folder mount but it just made a copy of my files and the apps never worked if I deleted the original files.

TiBu doesn't have access to write to the SD card. I know it sounds stupid but it's pretty simple to fix. Go to preferences and change your backup folder location. Pick DocumentProvider storage and select the root of your SD card. If your storage doesn't show under DocumentProvider storage, hit the settings and hit "Show SD card". From there just navigate to the folder your backups are supposed to be in.
Yeah I tried that. Also I wasn't using my SD card, but the internal built in memory. I changed folder locations any which way I could and the same thing happens. - Tibu interrupted insufficient storage space -. Do you think I should format my internal storage (do a factory reset)? Also if I do that I shouldn't losse root or get my bootloader locked right?

Found the problem, in SuperSU settings unchecked Mount namespace separation, restarted the phone and now it's backing up.
Thank you for your help.
