[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] edrickmph:
thank you gary it worked for me!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kessiyean:
Still the same hier, it worked for me :-)

P6200
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vs_infinity:
Tested! It works for galaxy tab 7.0 Plus P6200,

nice work garyd9
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Brightxda:
It does not work on non-root P6210. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
That doesn't make sense. What leads you to believe that it didn't work? Which program/option isn't working how you expect (and how do you expect it to work?) (sorry for all the questions, but if I can't repeat exactly what you are experiencing, I can't really help you.)

Do you have some kind of file explorer installed? If so, please browse to /system/etc/permissions and view the "platform.xml" file. Scroll down to find the line with "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE". There should be two lines below that that start with "<group gid". One should have the string "media_rw" and the other "sdcard_rw". If so, then the fix DID apply properly.

"root" shouldn't matter for this...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Brightxda:
There is no change to the "platform.xml" after I installed the .zip under the recovery though it shows install completed. I even repeated it twice. It fails when I use ES file explorer to create a folder in ext. SD Card.

Then I rooted the device and manually modified the "platform.xml" (added the <group gid="media_rw" />), and it works now.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] hokuto34:
Yes I done the same after root, but I have to change the attribut ( sorry I' french) of "platform.xml" with Root explorer to write before (long press on the name), then I access to "platform.xml" with es file explorer to add the code line, save the file and reboot. and it works now (for model 6210)

"platform.xml" is at system/etc/permissions/

add

</permission name=android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Okay, if the attributes of the file aren't allowing writing, then I'm obviously not allowing for that in the package. It seemed like a reasonable assumption that the file was writable, being that it worked for so many people...

I wonder why samsung isn't being consistant with the file permissions. Well, that's something I can probably fix in an update. Not a big deal to change perms on a file. :)

(It's also not a high priority, as this is working for the majority of people without me tinkering with file permissions.)

take care

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Mochan:
I have a P6200, no root and using stock recovery as of this writing.

I had a P6210 and I was able to fix External SD Card writing on it manually.

I tried the .zip in this thread and it didn't work on my P6200.

I am thinking it didn't because my device is either rooted, or using stock recovery.

I will root and perhaps install CWM, and test further.

My test was using ES Explorer to create a new directory in the SD card. It couldn't, so I'm pretty sure the fix didn't work with my particular configuration.

Wait... how can you get into /system/etc/permissions if you haven't rooted the device? I was of the impression that you can only access that directory if you are rooted. I certainly can't get there.

I was able to on my P6210 when it was rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
When a device is "rooted", it's something that happens during normal boots. "Recovery" is a completely different mode of booting and has completely different rules.

That's why 'recovery' can be used to root the device (writing 'su' to the /system/bin directory) and can also be used to completely overwrite partitions (such as is done with the CWM Recovery installer and my kernel installer.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] terenceleechan:
Garyd9,

Thanks for sharing your work, i used your cwm zip to root my p6200 and worked great. I am however having problems getting fix permissiins to actually work. I checked platform.xml and the fix was applied (the media_rw line was added to WRITE EXTERNAL STORAGE) but i still couldnt transfer files to my sdcard. The sdcard is not broken as i tested it in my galaxy s2 and u could transfer files there fine. I tried the fix manually and using your zip both on stock and rooted. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
You quoted me asking someone what program/option isn't working how you expect, but you didn't answer that question yourself.

If the program you are using doesn't have permissions for either the sdcard or media, then this fix won't give it those rights.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
Try sdcard/extstorages

Sent from my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] terenceleechan:
I know its in extstorages/sdcard. But i need to edit it as that in platform.xml also?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] terenceleechan:
Sorry gary9d. I mean if i connect my tablet to laptop using either airdroud or mtp, the laopptop can read but not write to extstorages/sdcard. How to know if laptop has the permissions for sdcard or media? If no permissions what is possible workaround? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] hx4700h2210:
Hi Gary, I got the same issue with Brightxda in that my P6200 doesn't get the line added after it installed 'correctly'. Mine is P6200 non-rooted. Is there anything I am still missing out?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] terenceleechan:
ok got it to work. had to do the fix a second time manually and rebooted. thanks to all who replied
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
No idea. I'll eventually get around to looking at that, but it's really a low priority for me right now.

I'll TRY to get time today to change the updater script to change the file permissions before performing the edit, but I can't promise I'll have time.

Take care

Gary
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] hx4700h2210:
Take your time, Gary. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
UPDATED Feb 5th, 2012: the script will change the filesystem permissions of the platform.xml file before attempting to edit it. This MAY overcome issues people have been having with non-rooted devices, but I'm unable to test so I don't know.

Confirmed that this doesn't work if the stock (3e) recovery is installed. I have a good idea WHY this is broken, so just bear with me. (recovery when my CWM-based recovery is installed has certain tools in the path that I apparently am assuming.)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Gam3r 4 Life:
This worked for me, but I have a question. Is it a known thing with the 7.0 plus that you cant flash zips from the external sd card? Because I had to put the file on the internal memory for it to work. When I try to flash anything from the actual external sd card it doesnt show any files. And if I choose ext storage it goes into a loop of just showing the clockwork logo indefinately until I press power again. And then when I try to reboot from there it loops back to CWM again. I have to hold down power until the screen shuts off, then when it reboots it goes back to the CWM home screen, and then I can do an actual reboot from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] garyd9:
Odd. With the factory recovery, you usually only can update from the MicroSD card. With CWM, you can flash an update from either memory location... (you've already read about the issues with the names of those from within CWM, right? If not, please do so.) The issue with a logo looping is strange. Did you format that microSD card using the option in settings on your tablet? It almost sounds like the microSD card is somehow corrupted and/or improperly formatted.

Which tablet model and which cwm recovery are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Gam3r 4 Life:
Nevermind. Im not sure why but its working now. I think I was just choosing the wrong options from within CWM. I also updated to the current version, I was using an older one. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tomy00:
non root?

Hello I have a non root P6200, it works??.

Must I have root first?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Gam3r 4 Life:
I dont know what happened, but my external sd card is no longer writable. It was working perfect after I applied the zip. Then I went back in to do another titanium backup and it did it to the internal card. So I tried to go in and change the backup location and it said it wasnt writable. So I installed the zip twice, checked the platform.xml and it had the new code, but it still shows not writable. Ive rebooted several times, reformatted the card using the galaxy and still same thing. So Im not sure what happened.

UPDATE: Ok, I got it working again and I really dont know how. Im think its because I had browsed to the folder just outside of sdcard/extstorages/titaniumbackup, so I was in sdcard/extstorages. And that folder says not writable, but once I clicked on the actual titaniumbackup folder it changed to writable and worked. Strange as to why just outside that folder says unwritable, but within it is writable. But whatever it works now. Hope that makes sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tomy00:
Use this from other site

The simple solution, if you're rooted, is as follows: 1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions and make sure you have mounted the file system r/w. 2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission. 3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...<group gid="media_rw" /> 4. Save the changes to the file. 5. Restart your tablet.

Yes that is what this is doing. But instead of going into the files and adding that what garyd has created does it for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tomy00:
The file had this line to do permissions?

Enviado desde mi GT-P6200 usando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] edan1979:
Yes it does....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] tomy00:
Try:

1.- try use other as to test it, and so you can see if the problem is this as.

2.- with a root explorer see the permission of the sd, sure rw.

if don't work, edit the file platform like original, switch off, switch on, and edit the file to insert the permission.

And tell me.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rendler:
Thanks for this gary, I went through the method of manually editing platform.xml. Everything is working fine now.

But I'm quite certain I did not have this problem with the Tab for the first month and then a couple of week ago I suddenly found myself unable to write to the card with no way to fix it.

Thanks again!

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] westy123:
A late reply i know, but have you tried editing the platform.xml file manually, using the instructions in the OP?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Baboontyme:
I am having this issue with a POS 4.2.2 "zeepad" that I bought for my 4 year old to watch videos on. I tried manually editing the platform.xml in a couple of different file editors but the modified xml file will not save. Any ideas? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] westy123:
hi, only just saw this notification, so it may be a little late for you!

nevertheless, i think this is root issue in that you have to make sure you edit (and save) your changes whilst you are root.

not sure about other file managers but i use x-plore, and in the 'configurations' settings off the app i can select an option "superuser + mount writable:allows chanes in read-only folders" under the 'root access' settings.

if you then navigate to, and open/save changes to the file using x-plore,the changes should stick.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] leijonasisu:
The fix .zip did not work for me but adding the line and then rebooting my phone did the trick. Before adding this line for some reason no matter what I did apps could not write to my external SD card no matter how I formatted it or anything. Thanks so much for this fix, I've had a really annoying time having to keep 4GB of backed up .apk 's on my internal storage (which is already so small) just because I could write to the directory.

You're a lifesaver.

I'm trying to deodex the latest MIUI v4 (ICS) so I can try to port it to my Rezound, but I can't even deodex the ROM, even through the latest kitchen. Any ideas?
[Android] wildestpixel:
you can use autodeo tool to do the majority of the odexes but you may need to manually baksmali things like Bluetooth and NetworkLocation as they have more bootclasspath dependencies.

Look for a thread entitled "how to manually deodex odex back" should help you no end. If you cant follow that you are in trouble lol.

[Android] dsixda:
What do you mean you can't deodex - what is the specific problem?
[Android] wildestpixel:
well with respect and regardless of the version of baksmali and smali used the kitchen in its present form will not deodex an ICS ROM for me either. So I take a different approach to achieving it.
[Android] dsixda:
I don't care if someone doesn't use the kitchen, I am retired and ICS doesn't work (ie. Class errors in smali/baksmali) half the time for me either... but, again, vague statements like "doesn't work" or "can't deodex" doesn't help a designer diagnose the problem.
[Android] wildestpixel:
I'll take a look at the deodexing parts of the kitchens scripts and see if I can deduce anything.
[Android] jmz:
Nvm. Completely misread op

Yes, you can update to gingerbread by flashing the European v21a kdz file using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287236

However, as it is the European version, you may have some issues with data. I have the same p925g from Rogers, and I had the v21a and it worked fine, but there were times when my data would just randomly shut off for a moment, but others don't seem to have this problem.
