Running 4.4.2 on ATT 1337 with NC1.
Ran towelroot and SuperSU so I could use TB to get all my stuff from my Note 3 to my S4 (company downgrade, don't ask).
Edited the platform.xml to this:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Now I get "email has stopped working", "Flipboard has stopped working" popups every 3 seconds. I "ok" them and they come right back. Many other apps do this as well randomly. Playstore will not work either. I assume the platform.xml change FUBARED things. But even with ES file explorer set to "root explorer" it will not save the changes again. How can I restore the platform.xml file?!?!
Also ran root checker, says "Sorry this device has no root."
WTF is going on?

No new folder can be created in sd card and and i can create folders in phone storage but it shows connection error everytime
I would be very thankful to anyone who can help me sort this problem
P.s Please try to suggest methods which dont require rooting
Kitkat and Lollipop changed the way Android used the SD card -

You can fix this, but you'll need to be rooted. Not heard of any non rooted solutions personally.

I really need to fix this so i will even root

can you tell that what would i need to do further to restore full sd card access
Once rooted, goto system/etc/permissions and edit 'platform.xml'
Find this section -
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
And add another line so it looks like this -
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Save and reboot

Hi
Will show you how to fix the problem of reading and writing to the SD card in Sony Lollipop 5.0.2
Request:
-Sony Lollipop 5.0.2
-ROOT
-Text editor ( I use notepad ++ )
1.On your phone, find the file platform.xml
ROOT / system / etc / permission /
Copy it to your computer
using a text editor, open and add these lines :
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
[COLOR="red"] <group gid="media_rw" />[/COLOR]
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_all" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
[COLOR="Red"] <group gid="media_rw" /> [/COLOR]
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_MTP" >
<group gid="mtp" />
</permission>
2.Save and copy the phone
3. Using Root Explorer Important
-Copy file To System
-Set Permission Using Root Explorer ( rw- r-- r-- )
-Move The platform.xml To /system/etc/permission/ Folder
-Reboot The Phone.
4. Enjoy

hi, recently upgraded to 5.0.2 lollipop v30f but I'm not allowed to delete files in the internal memory (SDCARD), can anyone help me? (fix permissions?) I can only delete files onlyTWRP file manager. Note: device D805 with ROOT and recovered full erasing the internal memory
use an explorer app with root capabilities... i.e. es file explorer...
just enable root explorer option and grant it superuser access

did you enable root explorer option in es app settings? (as on screenshot)
if you did - try to turn it off and on... also try to remove es file exporer from superuser and grant the permissions again...
btw what are you trying to delete?
some folders can't be deleted even with root access...

System
Etc
Permissions
Platform.xml
Make sure the following is correct
Debug if needed
<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_all" />
</permission>
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >
<group gid="media_rw" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
Reboot
Now u will be able to delete files on internal storage as u have granted read wrute access to all function
This app worked to me (12-2015)
Int-SdCard write fix
I'm using an sd card from my old s5 on a rooted nvidia shield 16 gb and it now let me made edits to that sd card. Is there a fix to this or what? It's usually fixed through root but I am drawing a blank for this.
You need to edit external storage r w permissions, I believe if you download foldermount it does this automatically. I don't have the exact file that you edit in mind yet but will update soon with directions, unless someone else can get here first?
This would be extremely helpful.

To fix external drive r/w I did the following (root required):
Go to /system/etc/permissions/ with a file manager.
Locate platform.xml file.
Open it with an editor.
Find:
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
</permission>
and add the line <group gid="media_rw" />
You will have in the end:
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_r" />
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
<group gid="media_rw" />
</permission>
Reboot.
Thank you for this!!

So after successful rooting my S7 Edge and made my first backup in Titanium Backup, but when I tried to save my backup locations to my micro SD card. Titanium Backup backup says, this folder is not a writable folder. Which doesn't make any sense because my other apps can read/ write from my micro SD card.
Ex. Moon Reader Pro, it writes to my micro SD just fine.
In settings/ Applications/ Application Manager/ Titanium Backup, I have storage permission enabled. Anyone else having this issue or any ideas?
The only thing I can think of is, my other apps had a pop up that asked for my permission (Enable) to write to SD card. Titanium never had a pop up, but like I said the storage permission was already enabled when checked it settings/ application manager.
This is how I fixed it thanks to inspired55

try adding the lines in blue to the folder etc/permissions/platform.xml to fix writing to external sdcard . This fixed for me on s7 mm ported rom on my s5.

You can write to sdcard /Android/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Change your storage provider at the top of the menu to DocumentProvider storage.
