I know this thread is old, but i'm in the same situation. My TIBU Pro still cannot write to the microSD card. All other tried third party tools like ES File Explorer don't have a problem writing to the micro SD.

My default platfom.xml settings that include EXTERNAL_STORAGE are listed below. For <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"> it already had <group gid="media_rw"/>. I removed <group gid="sdcard_r"/> to follow the instructions precisely but upon reboot the microSD was no longer displayed in file mangers, like ES File Explorer and Samsung MyFiles. My Samsung SM-P600 tablet has exactly the same configuration for EXTERNAL_STORAGE and also have the same problem with TIBU.

-<permission name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

</permission>

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

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>

<group gid="media_rw"/>

</permission>

-<permission name="android.permission.ACCESS_ALL_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>

<group gid="sdcard_all"/>

</permission>

I'll appreciate if someone has a recommendation to this problem.

[Galaxy S 4 General] mpsrent:
Just for clarification, do you have a space before the forward slash / in each scenario?

For example <group gid="media_rw" /> with a hard space between the quotation mark and the forward slash. I'm only asking because one minor typo caused me to have the same problem. Once I corrected my error TB backup was able to write to my SD cards on both phones.

FYI, if it helps anyone, this fails to mention you MUST reboot your device fully after editing this file. This DID work for me (4.4.x+) but did require a reboot simply killing off the tasks does not expose the R/W until a reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ansjs:
I need help I'm confused af can someone message me
[Galaxy S 4 General] tublah:
Yes, the Google Editions do support fastboot commands.
[Galaxy S 4 General] iB4STiD:
ya a system dump would be great!! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] tublah:
I've grabbed the two files you requested

4.3 modem files: https://mega.co.nz/#!FsozybQD!AvrykxBO2jvx7hJL8mehmBl8GohfM5HerQ73nOeTh6Y
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aqua1ung:
Can I flash this on top of my GE i337?
[Galaxy S 4 General] tublah:
It checks for specific modem versions and other partitions - so I doubt it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
When I get home later today I will take a look I have all the files I can post em up and repack the modem. ( actually the original modem.bin file could be flashed from the phone slot in Odin )

And Stock Recovery :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] tublah:
Sweet - including stock recovery after updating? Like a bonehead I flashed TWRP instead of just fastboot booting it to root. Derp. I'd love to be able to put stock recovery back on it. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Just to recap for some of you having problems taking the OTA you must be on JDQ39. You could use my Odin Stock Rooted Image. Your Baseband has to be MFD to take the OTA. You must have stock Recovery which is in my Odin Package. The modem isn't in my Odin image so if your on a different baseband I will repack the modem again and test and upload it later. After flashing my Rooted stock Odin Image go into SuperSU and unroot. Reboot, then power down again and use volume up and volume down + power to get in fastboot and open up a cmd prompt in ADB type fastboot oem lock. Once your relocked boot in stock recovery and update from external storage the OTA zip file. Do not rename it. I did this yesterday and it works.

I cannot see what everyone is doing but for those getting aborted messages your either on a different baseband or using custom recovery. Just follow my steps. I will resolve the modem issue later today or someone will beat me too it. Thanks.

Would be really nice to get the final version of the Android 4.3 ROM on my GT-I9505 Intl. Running the second leaked build right now :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] WhiteSRT69:
still havent seen the OTA yet :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Yes. I would like that too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ThugEsquire:
I've tried this both via Heimdall and via ODIN and while I can flash other partitions successfully using either, I can't update the modem. I get NAND auth FAIL in ODIN and "failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence" in Heimdall.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tunatje:
Me want it so bad!
[Galaxy S 4 General] niceppl:
Waitting for a system dump would be the best way.... save your time and wait for boot and system dump ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] broodplank1337:
Someone needs to install: 4.2.2 aosp stock with stock recovery, then patch it with this new ota. and it will become 4.3 NON LEAKED. then just do "adb pull /system" and zip it, that's all.

I'm currently booted on linux so cannot use odin for now, else I would have done it already
[Galaxy S 4 General] alturismo:
You have a link for the 4.2.2 original ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
I just put the NON-HLOS and Modem.bin files into a .tar file you can flash from PDA in Odin I am uploading now. I am going to dump 4.3 and create a full system restore firmware package but its going to take some time do to size and my schedule. Its coming. I will post the mega link shortly for the MFD 4.2.2 modem.

[Galaxy S 4 General] alturismo:
Hi,

is this the 4.2.2 radio now ? and do we need this also for the full system zip to flash ?

or is this the 4.3 modem to flash after zip ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
OK... OP's zip doesn't install on my i9505G rooted stock. :(

Yes

[Galaxy S 4 General] illogic6:
ThugEsquire and I are having problems because we flashed the baseband in the I9505GUEUBMG8 leak. We aren't able to apply the MH1 radio on top of MG8.

http://i.imgur.com/7aYSwUl.png

I've even tried pushing the Modem files by adb, and it seems to work initially: http://i.imgur.com/LxwSjyx.png

When I go to about phone, I'm still seeing the old baseband listed though. :eek:

Edit: Here's the output when I try to flash with Heimdall. No worky there either. Really puzzling. http://pastebin.com/mU4EucfF
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
Thanks for the help. However that way would effectively erase all my stuff. I know I can make backup but I thought I could just hop to 4.3 without losing any user data.

Is this why I'm not getting the OTA notice? I mean other people on rooted GE roms could get the OTA, why can't i9505G rooted stock?
[Galaxy S 4 General] alturismo:
i assume u mean 4.2.2 now ;)

so, 1st flash 4.2.2 radio, then wait for 4.3 complete zip, 4.3 radio and flash those afterwards.

we still need stock recovery ? or cwm ok then ?

thanks ahead for your efforts ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Here is what I did the problem is that the OTA will not work if your on any other baseband then MFD so I created the modem file and according to Illogic6 its still not updating the baseband back to MFD. Can anyone else confirm my modem .tar file is not working? I am working on a stock full firmware package but its going to take some time. I will try to work out the modem issue in the meantime
[Galaxy S 4 General] illogic6:
I'm betting it'll work for people who never flashed a leaked modem. It might be impossible to update from an engineering modem to an official one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
These are not HTC devices the modem leaked or not should not prevent a downgraded modem.

I noticed you tried pushing the .bin files through Heimdall did you try Odin? Got it I just saw your pic
[Galaxy S 4 General] imneo1:
Same here
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
Yea I'm on JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD build and I9505GUEUAMFD baseband. This is the stock build and baseband. I'm still not getting the OTA.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Did you Unroot? Did you Relock the Bootloader? Do you have Stock Recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
No but I don't think they are the problem. People on I9505 GE roms could get the OTA with root and TWRP.
[Galaxy S 4 General] yeahmann:
I managed to make a full flashable ROM minus modem by patching 4.2.2 with this OTA and everything works excepts security settings FC's. Hopefully, I can find the problem by tonight.
[Galaxy S 4 General] illogic6:
I had that problem too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] WhiteSRT69:
same build and baseband.

locked bootloader. full unrooted and stock recovery. still no OTA update
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
So when you go into stock recovery to apply the OTA zip file what does it say send a pic.

I'm not sure why you guys are having problems I had no trouble what so ever applying my steps

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 AM ----------

That is the problem. You need to unroot from SuperSU and lock the bootloader to apply the OTA from stock recovery and your baseband has to be MFD
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
I understand where you are coming from. You are assuming that those are the problem because when you took those steps, you could get the OTA.

However what I'm saying is, I don't think those are the problem simply because I9505 with custom recovery and root could get the OTA and just now a I9505G user who took the steps you described couldn't get the OTA.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 PM ----------

Nevertheless, I'll try to lock bootloader and unroot completely.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cob11341:
Okay, so I got the Google Play edition not too long ago. I have not modified it, rooted it or anything. Do I just download the zip and get it to update manually on stock recovery? Sorry, I come from the Epic 4G Touch forums and I cannot keep up to what you guys are talking about D:
[Galaxy S 4 General] SnegovikRZN:
cob11341, yes) use adb sideload)
[Galaxy S 4 General] raffacorreio:
System updates

Hey cob11341!

Have you tried to turn WI-FI on and check for system updates (inside "About phone" menu) BEFORE install the zip file?
[Galaxy S 4 General] cob11341:
Two more questions, do you rename the file and how do you do the adb sideload? I downloaded the zip file and have the phone plugged into my computer to transfer the file as I type this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Has anyone tried to flash the OTA with Mobile Odin? Mobile Odin has an option to flash OTAs but I never used it. I'm currently on the leaked 4.3 on my i9505.

EDIT

Nevermind, just tried. Doesnt work.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cob11341:
Yes I have, and it's the official Google edition not the international GT-i9505. I would wait for the update it's just that I am going on a road trip soon and I won't be connected to Wi-Fi for a while.
[Galaxy S 4 General] WhiteSRT69:
thanks

but stock recovery is not reading my SD card

---------- Post added at 10:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

Using stock recovery. try to flash it through external storage.

"failed to mount SD" (so such device)
[Galaxy S 4 General] ThugEsquire:
Thank you so much, but even this doesn't work. I suspect there's something about the radio that doesn't let you flash back. :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
Hey guys I am looking at the updated modem files on MH1 and there is a patch so this is what's preventing you from changing to MFD I am working on it so be patient. If your already on MFD baseband you should have no problem doing the OTA
[Galaxy S 4 General] ThugEsquire:
I've already exhausted my "Thanks" for the day--thank you sooooo much for this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] WhiteSRT69:
changed my 64gb flash drive to a 32gb.. flashing OTA zip right now..

Fingers crossed!!

edit..

worked!

thanks for all your help!
[Galaxy S 4 General] mastergrillo:
I modified the updater script for the OTA.zip so it can work on ATT/Tmobile sgs4 running Pure untouched GE 4.2.2 it wont flash any modems, bootloaders etc. just replace the original one in the zip and update if you get errors its because it fails the file check with means youre not running a untouched rom https://mega.co.nz/#!SAESjYZZ!YaEVLXM1457xE_N8tCTNkUzxbYUPqhvY-5_3A6yuAD8

[Galaxy S 4 General] Cozmo85:
So we can run the ota on a i9505 with this? Can you link an untouched ROM that works? Do we flash ota.zip through twrp?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mastergrillo:
yes it will run a 9505 rom wise i made one from the 9505g odin an i use a cwm based recovery to flash
[Galaxy S 4 General] Cozmo85:
Did you flash your original 4.2.2 using Odin? Which file?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mastergrillo:
i extracted the files from the system.img.ext4
[Galaxy S 4 General] Tunatje:
So what I understand from all the posts is that you need to run stock Android 4.2.2. GE and then update with OTA package?

And that the Android 4.2.2./4.3 that was build for the 9505GE is usable for i9505 users?
[Galaxy S 4 General] toanau:
If I am in stock GE 4.2.2 ROM with root all I need to do is to just flash the zip in TWRP recovery
[Galaxy S 4 General] wilbarger:
Finally

After trying all day to get the download to start, I decided to use the OP's file. I made sure the I was on MFD, even though I am still rooted. About halfway through the OP file download, I tried one more time and the OTA update showed up. I let the OTA load and now am running 4.3. One thing that I did have to do to get the OTA going was to go to settings>apps>all>google services framework>clear cache>clear data>force stop. Then went to the update area under About Phone and check updates. Finally worked. Again, this took all day trying this before it worked.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Radukk:
We have modified updater-script and OTA.zip..

Only thing what we need is factory stock and unmodified (no root and no deodex) flashable 4.2.2 GE ROM.zip for non GE device

And I cannot find it anywhere lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] mastergrillo:
1. Clean GE4.2.2 that can be used on I9505, ATT SGS4 (need loki doki or auto loki) and Tmobile SGS4

Google Edition 4.2.2

2. Modified OTA zip

4.3OTA.zip (removed modems sbl etc.)

Just the script if you already have a clean ota zip

this is for people running a stock GE 4.2.2 rom on a non i9505g device using a cwm recovery

3. Google Edition 4.3 built from official system dump and boot img from OTA credit to AJ for the dump

BTW: no matter if you install 4.2.2 then update or straight 4.3 it still has the settings and uninstall FC

P.S.: bootloader locked, unrooted, stock recovery, wiped device, but I have error.

My error:
[Galaxy S 4 General] alturismo:
Just install in cwm, uninstall an app is actually broken then as mentioned before.

I did format system,cache, dalvik ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] MJHawaii:
The issue was the baseband. If you were anything other then MFD it aborts the install. I tried a couple of different modem packages but both failed in Odin. I had no trouble flashing the zip from stock recovery because I never changed my baseband to MFP.

I did notice this update had a lot of patches. Now I am working on a full firmware package to flash through Odin. Things are wacky on this build I am even having trouble dumping certain parts of the partition including boot, recovery, modem and so on. If you did update then I posted a how to root 4.3 here in General as well. Update: just pulled everything I'm going to bed I will start building the Odin package tomorrow!

[Galaxy S 4 General] imneo1:
updated to 4.3

If you want to update to 4.3 and don't care about wiping your data and relocking your device here is what worked for me

(i also have a Nexus 4 which i still use so didn;t mind about my data and having to re-root the device

there is nothing new here i just found other users ways and tried them all

this worked with my GT-I9505G

1. if you unlocked/rooted/flashed recovery then you need to bring it to fully stock for this to work so go here

2. you have to do this fast - when you are done, go to Settings-->apps-->all and find "Google Framework Service" stop it clear data & cache and proceed to step 3 as fast as you can

3. now is the time to be as fast as you can: go to about Settings-->About-->System updates and hit check

if you don't get the OTA do it again. when you are fast enough you will see the update

it didn't work for me the first time but at second it did

install and enjoy
[Galaxy S 4 General] jorge_rui:
Thanks I will try this.

My phone is an unlocked version. So there is nothing to lock.
[Galaxy S 4 General] imneo1:
by unlock i mean the bootloader (if you don't have a lock icon when booting your device bellow the "Google" white logo than you are ok)

Thank you for this writeup. It worked perfectly for me! I have one question though - have you been able to get root since upgrading to 4.3? I tried the steps I used on 4.2.2 found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358883 It appeard to work but after installing SuperSU from the Play Store it kept telling me I needed to re-root because it wasn't installed. I tried this twice with the same results.

Thanks again for the great writeup!
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
Alright, I've been trying to get my phone to get this OTA for last 2 days and the most important thing for me was to keep all my data. I did not want to lock and unlock bootloader, which would make me lose all my data.

So if you want to hold all your data and get the OTA, you need:

Stock Recovery

JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD build

I9505GUEUAMFD baseband

It doesn't matter if you have:

Root

Unlocked Bootloader
[Galaxy S 4 General] hwboy4:
Has anyone made progress on downgrading MFP baseband to MFD for those of us with I9505G who flashed the 4.3 leak? As has been stated before the OTA won't apply if the baseband isn't MFD.

I've tried everything suggested in this thread and I'm still on MFP.
[Galaxy S 4 General] niceppl:
If this new ota is a good build then just for wait for the odin package to come out.. however i feel there is gonna be another build which would fix the security bug....so b3st would be stay on whats working right now and see how this new official 4.3 progress...
[Galaxy S 4 General] deaffob:
You have to have:

Stock Recovery

JDQ39.I9505GUEUAMFD build

I9505GUEUAMFD baseband

The OTA will check if you have these, otherwise you won't get the OTA or get this OTA zip to be installed.
