Hello i´m searching for a widget to unmount and mount the storage card because if i move mp3 files with apps like anyFTP or aFile to the G1 i'm not able to open them. I have to switch the phone off and on and then i can use the files.
need Help please!
why not just take the sd card out then put it back in instead of turning the phone on and off?
there is an app on the market that does that...just throw it on your desktop..
it's not a widget but performs the function as it should...
use it until a widget is released...
@nephron : it´s too compicated! A widget or an app ist faster (i hope)
@Ike14 : Do you remember the name of the app? i have allready searched in the market but i found nothing!
It's called KingDroid.

I found it! But i only can use KingDroid with rooted G1 i don´t want to root it! Is there another app for non rooted devices?
Or do i need a rooted G1 to mount and unmount the storage card?

FOUND IT!...
App: MountUSB
It's in the market...just searched it...
But some recent user comments on the app say it's not working with cupcake (1.5)...
But try it...it's free...and you never know!
tried it but don´t work! Any other ideas?
noone else an idea?
do you have 1.5? you can mount/umount from the sdcard option in settings.
wait, why not just use a usb cable, and mount the sd card using the phone?! then drag and drop for christ's sake..
are you looking for one that mounts the SD card to the phone or to the computer? the script within kingdroid for mounting/unmounting the SD card is for when the phone is plugged into the computer, and it MAY work for just that function without root, but just wondering why you don't wanna root your phone, it's not hard and the possibilities become endless for this phone with root
i use an app to download mp3s. if i am not at home and download a mp3 i have to unmout and mount the card to open the mp3 file with the player thats why i dont can use the usb cable.

Uhm, this actually doesn't make any sense. Why in the hell would you have to remount your sdcard for a downloaded mp3? I've downloaded tons of mp3's on the fly with my phone and my music player just picks them up as soon as they're done.
What "app" are you using?
When transfering movies on a tablet I have one message asking me if I want to move this file to your tablet because you may not be able to run, I click yes for all, and avi. files are transferred sucesfully.But mp4 files remain on the message that I can not see, so you can not click "yes for all" and continue transfer.I hav notice that transfer of mp4. Files get stuck onthat spot when I shot down the computer, then the message appears and I see that there is stuck, but I can not do anything, I do not know how to solve this problem, I've tried reinstalling drivers.Help please.Basicly problem is in the mp4.files.sometimes i can transfer mp4 files,but rarely,when i transfer them on tablet movies work great.no problem with playing mp4 files only transfering,I thing That bug is in the windows7,whay i can not see the same massage on the mp4 file like on the avi files.and everything alse transfers smood,only mp4.
no reply,ok.I am not mad,all tipe of files transfer succesfuly,only mp4 have some bug.IT is not error message it is bug,I am not able to su the first massage that windows asks me,so i can not continute transfer.
Could it be a DRM(digital rights management) issue? Maybe something is getting picked up in your .mp4's that isn't there in .avi's and the like. Just a thought... Can you use a memory card reader to put them on a card to transfer to your tab?
what program are you using in windows to transfer videos? A file manager would not care what type the file is and mp4 plays fine on the tablet. So you must provide us more details.
I've had issues with mp4's as well, generally I have found that my issues come from where I obtain the files. I use ROM Toolbox as a file browser now and now have less issues, before I used Androzip and it was a nightmare. I have found that I do have better luck by copying the files rather than just moving.
I used other devices to transfer files,card reader,mobile phones,transfer is normal,only on tablet i have that bug with mp4.files,I used explorer for transfer,very simple,just use the mouse and move them on.All other files avi.txt,jpg,mp3 etc. transfer succesfuly.Mp4 file is stuck at the begining of the transfer,i can not see the first message before i start transfer(messege is normal worning about converting file becouse you may not be able to play it on device,i ignore this and click "yes for all"),on other files i see that message and just follow the step.Problem is this i think,tablet the not have mass storage.on other devices i have mass storage,and just transfer,IT is some strange bug,Is there a way to make this tablet as mass storage,i downladed from google play program for this,but it did not work(working on some other devices),if i would be able to make mass storage from may tablet i am shure that i will be able to transfer files normaly.With Kies i succesfuly download mp4. files,but i have problem with kies,sometime it's working sometime not.

It seems to be a error with kies. Try the troubleshooting in kies. it re installs the drivers. try to do that and then copy your files.

you might have a corrupt or damaged SD card,. Are you trying to store ont he ex SD on the tablet? I have never seen any issue sending mp4 to the tablet. It may be happening because mp4 or any video file is so much larger than mp3 or jpg.
What ROM are you running? I use rooted stock and never have an issue.
I had this same issue, I come to find out it was the SD card, so I re-formatted it and now no issues, I am on stock, but de bloated.
Everytime i try to write on an external HD i get this error, impossible to copy the file, insufficent free space on the destination file system. How to solve it?
None? i have tryed to change the filesytem type, from ntfs to fat32 or exfat but always the same problem, unable to write.
may be a stupid question or 2, but do you have root? and does your file manager have SU privileges?

You're doing something wrong.
I've been able to write to an external hdd/flash drive for a long time now (since JB at least, that much I can vouch for).
Setup (and this goes for all my devices):
- Google's/Custom kernel
- SuperSU installed
- StickMount
- OTG cable
https://android.googlesource.com/ke...4-kitkat-mr2/arch/arm/configs/manta_defconfig
This is manta's default kernel config - if you search for USB and other relevant terms you'll see the several needed options enabled (like 'CONFIG_VFAT_FS=y', for example).

I use a 32GB flash drive all the time on my N10 without a hitch. One thing you might want to consider is the power. The N10 might not push enough power out via the microUSB port to power your particular HDD
This isn't my resolution, but merely a way to check: Try connecting the HDD to a powered USB hub, and plug the hub into the OTG cable.

So is the error you see an "insufficient space" error? Or an "access denied" error? I know in KitKat, Android now has changed from permissive to enforcing SELinux policies. I've been using StickMount on all my Nexus devices. In stock configuration, I could only copy from the SD card onto the device, and not the other way around. I would get an "access denied" error, or something to that effect. I had to change SELinux from enforcing, to permissive. There are several apps that can do this for you, but I just kept it simple and opened up Terminal Emulator. After getting root permissions, all I had to type was "setenforce 0". Now, I can write to my SD cards like normal.

Hi all. Only reason I am thinking of rooting my Shield TV is so I can write to my removable drives. From my understanding is that SDFix does not work with marshmallow. Is this correct? I Would love to access my non adoptable drive from my network. Or if rooted, can i also use FTP to read and write? Thank you.

Hope this helps... looks like newest update on 1/18/17 (v5.0.1)
"Other Enhancements
*Added ability to write to attached USB or SD card storage."
forums.geforce.com/default/topic/988354/shield-tv/shield-experience-upgrade-5-01-feedback-thread-for-shield-2017-/
I assume you mean network access to the attached storage
SHIELD TV Gen. 2015
write access was, for me, only possible through root and a SMB/samba server.
Root via http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu from chainfire
SMB server via https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate + https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate.packb for a native SMB server, normally i use a FTP-server like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lutey.FTPServer but was not able to get it running on the shield
SHIELD TV Gen. 2017
As of 5.0 i was not able to write to the storage
Actual there is no way to root the 2017 and therefore no SMB server.
The bootloader was updated and ca be unlocked but does not allow to flash the recovery, even if it tells you so (fastboot).
Android 7 recognize a manipulation and reflashes the stock recovery
But i am not sure if 5.0.1 added the network write access storage feature.

Assuming we're talking a 2017 Shield, I actually managed to access my non-adapted storage over FTP. Without root.
I have a 5TB external HDD hooked up to my Shield, and sideloaded an FTP app. I set my external HDD as root-folder for said app, and could both read/write to it (most recent software update, 5.0.1). I wanted easy management/streaming from my PC though, so I installed WebDrive so I could mount the FTP server as a local drive.
Works like a charm, can post a how-to if required.

Updated: We still need FTP to write to an external, non-adopted storage. Viewing can be done over SMB though!
Alrighty then, here goes nothing, please do keep in mind the "fix" you'll find down below is a quick and dirty one. It will allow you to both read and write to your external storage over FTP, without actually needing to have root.
Requirements
1. Sideload Launcher by Chainfire
2. A file manager, preferably with cloud access. I prefer X-plore myself.
3. FTP Server by The Olive Tree (others may work, your mileage may vary).
4. Any FTP client to access your shiny new server.
Step 1
- Install the Sideload Launcher if you haven't done so yet, it will allow us to open APKs that weren't designed for AndroidTV. You can just grab it from the PlayStore.
Step 2
- We're going to need an APK from FTP Server. The easiest way so far seems to be to install it on another device (in my case, my trusty Note3), and "backup" the APK to your Google drive using X-plore as you can see *here*.
- After we've gotten the APK there, hop back to the Shield and open X-plore. Go to your Google drive and install the FTP Server we just put there.
Step 3
- Use the Sideload Launcher to open our FTP server and set it up. Tapping your D-pad "up" once gets us to the settings of the app. Open it, and scroll down till you're looking at something like *this*.
- Most of these settings are up to your own discretion, but I strongly advice to untick "anonymous login" and set a username/pw. The most important bit is to set the home-directory to your non-adapted HDD.
- Close the settings, and tap your D-pad "down" once. Click [ A ], and we should get a nice green icon saying we're up and running! Should be something like *this*.
- The app will "survive" Sleep-mode, but after a restart you'll have to toggle it on again.
Step 4
- Profit!
- You should be able to access your FTP server on your specified local port, and using WebDrive you can even access it easily on a PC. It'll look something like *this*.
- You can use your regular SMB share to view your files over your local network, the catch is that you'll need to use FTP to write to it.
Final note!
It looks like setting X-plore as "default handler" for the non-adapted storage makes it disconnect from your shield. Don't tick it!
I read that writing to the external usb HDD is now fixed in the latest update v5.0.2?
In which case enable the following Settings > Device > Storage & reset > SHIELD storage access > Over local network > On and map the drive to the laptop.
Is this correct? I need to test it out still.

Don't think so yet. I *can* view and play it, but can't write to it. Screeny over here: imgur,com/ieuhlB0
Any one have luck with this yet? Really hoping to be able to write easy to the external storage.

As I explained above, you actually can write to it using FTP (non-adopted storage, no root required whatsoever). Currently I would just advice using the regular SMB share to view it on other devices (since you don't want to download anything before viewing).
I've edited the instructions to clarify.
Here is something I discovered. When you hook up a USB flash drive or HD, it creates some folders on that drive. Android nvidia shield(something like that)
The nvidia folder it creates is writable. I am using a flash drive as non adoptable to play ROMs on with emulators. On the root of the drive I had issues. But once I moved my ROMs folder inside the nvidia folder all was well. No my emulators can load the ROMs from the nvidia folder created on the drive and write the save files to the same folder the ROMs are located in.
Hope this helps. Only issue is that when u restart, you get the annoying pop up asking to adopt the drive. I just hit browse each time.. Because I don't want to adopt it.. I just want it to store files..
Android went plum retarded post kitkat with drives and SD cards and write permissions.. Its very annoying and makes me long for the good OK days where u could just insert something and do with it slas you please... In my opinion they have over complicated what should be a rather simple procedure.. But it looks like this is the direction they have choose..

Checked this and the [\\SHIELD\ExternalStorage\NVIDIA_SHIELD] folder is writable over SMB indeed.
Now it's just a matter of whether or not you're willing to put up with the popup.
Hope that helps ya. The android folder is most likely writable as well.
I remember this work around when lollipop came out and apps were not built with the proper permissions. You could use the apps folder in android on the SD card to circumvent this.
But yea I'm good for now just using the shield folder on my flash drive... I do wish there was a way to remove the popup on boot asking to adopt storage though....
I'm beginning to loathe nougat....
The later android versions are hardly usable for me without the use of xposed.
Anyways, hope that trick helps you and anyone else
If you have root couldn't you just mount the drive as writeable using a file explorer? I'm interested in writing to a removable drive in general (don't care about network access specifically).
Any news here?
I am on Nvidia Shield 2017 with 8.0.1 rooted.
I can only READ my attached NAS (network storage).
But I want to get WRITE access too
The workaround with the NVIDIA_SHIELD folder did not work... And Apps like SDfix ends up in error ??!
I own two Shields and need them to write to my NAS.
Does anyone can help me how to get this working?
Both Shields are rooted
Anyone know, if THIS is still actual? (4 years old)
Thank u very much

I don't think you really can.
Even if you are using the same browser as on your PC, on a phone you have limited functionality.
However, you can manually move the downloaded files on your SD card (it sounds stupid, but I can't actually think of anything else).

If possible for you to download Samsung Internet it's easy!
Start internet>settings>advanced> and save content to sd card ... or use the usb-c to usb adapter that came with the phone and use external HDD.
Seems not possible in chrome now.

Or you use a browser with an integrated download manager like dolphin. I think opera is also asking where to save downloaded files.

Because i m using 4 g networks to download , and i have no pc with me when i m on journey ( i use 4 g network when i am in big cities to download huge files when i got good networks , usually virtual machine for my work , then i use them at home on my pc to work, so i do the exact inverted process cause of poor adsl connection compare to 4G).
Bu tthanks to all got now lots of solutions :
Use opera mini
Use samsung internet
Use a download manager.
Thanks XDA !
It's not possible to control the download location of chrome on android as far as I know, but you could try using an app like Advanced Download Manager. It has it's own browser that allows full control over downloads and uses the SD card as the default download location.
