I'm afraid I may have to disagree with that my friend, I've double checked what I've mentioned while running on CM11 (kitkat 4.4.2). There might be a chance that the rom you're running might have a "disk mounting" bug. So, if you're using a custom rom, I suggest you double check with the rom developer.

SOLVED for SGS4 4.4 w/root ext SD card

So I was having this same problem but the aforementioned fixes didn't address the external SD card. I figured out that the error message is a bit misleading and that the actual problem was that the backup storage location wasn't writable by TiBU. searching on that issue I found the below post and modified the platform.XML file using root explorer. The original platform.xml on my phone looked a bit different than bleez99's. This is how I changed the file:

Before mod:

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

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

</permission>

After Mod:

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

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

A reboot is required for changes to take effect.

All credit to bleez99 for this fix. If this helps you please thank his post below.

edit:

For those worried about moding system files I haven't seen any adverse side effects from this mod. This might be anecdotal but I figure if anything does go screwy I(or you) can always change the file back in 2 min.

[General Questions and Answers] acidsurfr:
I was having the same problem and tried moving to the Legacy folder. This initially fixed the free space error and allowed the backups but took all but 1.0 GB of available space. Installed this sdcard fix app, rebooted and moved the backup location back to my sd card, ran backup with no problems. Much simpler to install the fix file and reboot. Wish i had read the entire post and tried this first. Would have saved a lot of time.

Thank you

[General Questions and Answers] cb474:
Thanks this worked for me (finally after trying everything else suggested!) in Paranoid Android 3.99. I was having the "insufficient free space" issue, when trying to run backups. I want to update my rom, but obviously want to backup first. Apparently the problem persists in more recent versions of Paranoid Anddroid 4.4 (and maybe 4.5).

*

I found a post in the Paranoid Android thread for the Nexus 4 that says Titanium fails to issue its superuser requests properly. SuperSu allows them anyway, but Superuser (which is built into Paranoid Android) is stricter and only allows proper requests. So I guess there is some loss of security by switching to SuperSu, as far as selinux goes, which was introduced in Android 4.3. The poster in the other thread writes (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51623202&postcount=49078):

I'm surprised Titanium wouldn't fix an issue like this. If it's going to continue to have issues, maybe I'll try something else like Helium or Super Backup. You shouldn't have to install SuperSu just for one app that doesn't work correctly (and lose out on some of the benefits of selinux in the process).

A possible Solution

A possible Solution: From SuperSU settings, Uncheck "Mount namespace separation"

Tibu tried to warn me that this might not be compatible, but as always I ignored all pop-ups without reading them first. Only noticed this after I re-installed TB for the 5th time. Spend a day and a Half trying all sorts of solutions. Serves me right :crying:

It didn't work for me. I got the problem after I upgraded to Lollipop. There is no .odex file and unchecking "Mount namespace separation" didn't help.

I tried all the steps but it did not help. Any further suggestions? I'm just so frustrated. Even the developers email is not working. Mails sent just bounce back.
[General Questions and Answers] nastypup:
Did you try SD Fix from Google Play? It's free and takes 2 seconds to fix the problem. I thought it was only for KitKat but you also need it for Lollipop. You do need to do any of the other tweaks.
[General Questions and Answers] Techminator:
Just tried that but the app said my card already has the permission to write to sd card and still titanium is giving the same error.
[General Questions and Answers] nastypup:
Uninstall SD Card Fix, reboot and then reinstall SD Card Fix. That may work.
[General Questions and Answers] Techminator:
Still not working. I've tried every possible way to fix it.
[General Questions and Answers] nastypup:
Sorry. I have no other suggestions. Good luck. I was able to get a response from the devs at Titanium Track. Keep on trying to contact them. My email failed the first time but I did get an email to get to them.

Titanium Backup with insuffiecient storage space

Thanks opscd. :angel::highfive:

This is what "ended up" working after I tried the methods summarized below WITHOUT success.

Problem first appeared after flashing to stock-rooted 0F3 on my SM-G900A and PlayStore's automatic re-installation of TI BU

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Thanks Parinibbana.

FYI for me the methods you summarized didn't work because

Method 1: doesn't resolve lack of access to SD; as it re-directs to internal device storage

Method 2: Is elegant and preferable for security but like method #1 ultimately fails because (highlighted within TI folder location menu) can't write to SD locations..which IS the symptom I'm experiencing.

Method 3: I personally hesitated to use this for personal security concerns but more interestingly I observed the following changes/differences in my platform.xml file...

My Original:

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

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

</permission>

I attempted to used the SDfix app (again unsuccessfully even after rebooting), but after the platform.xml read DIFFERENTLY than the procedure I was following

My New: (viewing with ES Note Editor)

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

<group gid="sdcard_r" /> <== * I am guessing I could manually edit/delete this line but am a nube :silly: and was too scared

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Method 4: I couldn't use this method because the "com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1" folder existed; BUT there was no .odex files... only the .apk
[General Questions and Answers] Parinibbana:
Thanks. I now added the method "From SuperSU settings, Uncheck Mount namespace separation" to my original post (method no. 5), since it seems to work for many users.
[General Questions and Answers] archz2:
I have a weird problem. I tried the emulated method, it didn't work. I tried searching for com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex but could not find it. However, I found a com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1 folder and deleted it after which I reinstalled titanium backup and the problem still did not solve.

My external SD card (with free space as 1.60 GB) is shown in my phone as sdcard0. My internal sdcard is shown as sdcard1 (with free space as 1.45 GB). I changed my backup location in titanium backup preferences to internal sd card and I got rid of this "insufficient storage" problem.

I want titanium backup to enable me to use external sd card for default location of backup. What should I do?

I have a rooted lenovo a7000 phone.

Does Titanium actually support this app any more? I've been trying for more than a week to get them to respond to a problem report submitted via their web site, and except for an automated response that said nothing I've gotten no reply at all. What are Google's policies regarding support of paid apps? Because TT doesn't seem to offer any actual support at all.

Uncheck "Mount Namespace"

Open SuperSU and move to Settings tab.

Now scroll till you find Security.

Notice that Mount namespace separation is already checked, now uncheck it and reboot your device.

[General Questions and Answers] attituderocks114:
None of the suggested methods helped ..this is what helpled me .

If you are using lolipop based ROM : here is the solution .

This is due to the 'Mount namespace separation' setting in SuperSU being turned on (by default). Untick that, reboot and try your Titanium Backup operation again.

This happens because of permissions to app-created folders being restricted in newer Android versions, I believe. Ironically, I didn't have this issue on Marshmallow-based CM13, but I did face it in the Lollipop-based OxygenOS for the OnePlus One.

Finally Titanium backup is back for me !!:o

Hmm...(Post Name is) [SOLVED!!][ROOT ONLY] Insufficient Storage Space: Titanium Backup Error

I think that you are the one that is confused there bud...
[General Questions and Answers] desrod:
Just a quick heads-up: /storage/emulated/0/ and /storage/emulated/legacy/ are the same exact folder, and they reside on the device's internal flash, not the external SD card, which is what the original issue is about. So far, not a single person has come up with a workable fix:

1.) Deleting *.odex files does not fix it

2.) Disabling the namespace separation in SuperSU (or enabling it) does not fix it

3.) Changing the path to /storage/emulated/0/ or /storage/emulated/legacy/ does not fix it

4.) Removing, reinstalling does not fix it

5.) Using Link2SD does not fix it

6.) Setting the write bits to the SD card with ES-File Explorer or Root Explorer does not fix it

So anyone else have any ideas? Because it's still an open issue.
[General Questions and Answers] JensAmi:
Fix for those not fixed by the standard fixes

I was having the same problem: none of these fixes worked. I was guessing it was a permissions problem/error. What I did:

Created a new folder in the standard internal storage area called "TiBu"

Changed the path to /storage/emulated/0/TiBu (TiBu copies the existing backups over to the new folder)

Restarted Titanium Backup

Started/completed backup successfully

Completed victory dance

Killed TitaniumBackup in Apps (Forced to end)

Renamed orginal folder (TitaniumBackup to _TitaniumBackup)

Started TitaniumBackup (I think it automatically creates the standard folder "TitaniumBackup" if not there) and chose the standard folder

Started/completed backup successfully

Deleted the _TitaniumBackup folder (in recovery as the permissions were locked down even for root)

Thanked various gods

I found a solution that works for me. Found on Reddit.

Go to Menu-Preferences-Backup Folder Location.

Find your external card and map the folder you want to use.

That did it for me.

I tried many ways, and I found this will actually work.

open /system/etc/permissions look for the file name : platform.xml

open it and find this：

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

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

add this:

<group gid="media_rw" />

it will become：

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

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

Then, make sure you uninstall the Titanium app, and reinstall. Then it will work!

Not only for Titanium, even for any other app cannot download to the sd card, it will work as well.
