Android Can't write to SDcard on Kitkat
#1
Is anyone else having an issue writing to SD card on Kitkat?
I recently updated my Lenovo B8000 (Yoga tablet 10) to kitkat and since then, XBMC fails at any write operation to SD card - make directory, copy, delete.
Looking through the logs, there's no details regarding the error, just:
Code:
14:52:31 T:1644740128   ERROR: static bool XFILE::CDirectory::Create(const CStdString&) - Error creating /storage/sdcard1/Video/hown

That's a security measure by Google since kitkat.
You have to be rooted to do that.

If you want to make/delete a directory than you must connect the tablet or sd-card to the PC.

Be rooted to write on the sdcard? Bullshit Wink

I'm also fairly sure that copying a single file failed as well, though I haven't looked at the logs.

Any idea how to fix this, or check that this is a problem with the ROM? I've tried saving a photo to the SDcard in the built-in camera app, no issues there...

Please show the result of:
Code:
adb shell mount
adb shell ls -l /mnt
adb shell ls -l /storage

Shut the f..k up if you don't know what you are talking about.
As from KitKat the system ( external sd card ) is read/write protected. You can make a new directory but you'll not be able to transfer files from the phone to the sd card or delete them with a file manager. Only when connected to the PC.
To achieve that you must be rooted and a module must be installed alongside the root so that the changes will stick. With only root and without the module the permissions will revert on boot.

I have called Samsung and they have said there is an update from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 by the fall of 2014 unless you root your phone
