Hi!
This is my first thread and I just wanted to share this information about SD card write restriction on Samsung devices with you.
I found a solution when I was having a problem of my own.
Description of problem:
Solution:
Fixing this problem can be easily done if you have root access. Here’s how you can do it (Please be aware that you’re performing these changes on your own risk!):
1. Make sure that you have root access
2. Perform a NANDROID backup to be completely safe
3. Use a root-enabled file manager (like the paid version of Root Explorer, you can get it from... many sources ;) ) and navigate to /system/etc/permissions
4. Edit platform.xml and find “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“
5. Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />
6. Save the changes and restart your device
You are now able to write on your external SD card again!!! :D
I hope I helped someone with this thread.
GOOD LUCK!
