Did you DL the ADT bundle or just the sdk?

Here's where mine resides after I unpacked it. I created the folder called SDK then placed the bundle in that then unpacked.

Hello All,

Since kitkat 4.4.2 was released on the Galaxy Note 3, many users were unable to write files to the External SD Card. Below is a simple fix for rooted users on the Galaxy Note 3 N9005 ( International Snapdragon Variant).

**Please be advised that I have only tested this on my personal N9005. However, you are free to test it on your own devices at your own risk!! **

1. Using a root-enabled file manager, navigate to /system/etc/permissions

2. Edit platform.xml and find the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission.

3. Add an additional group definition for this permission...

4. Save the changes to the file.

5. Restart.

Attached is a copy of my platform.xml.

Note : Another Playstore application avaliable to fix this issue : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix.

Edited on request of [MENTION=2117317]webmastir[/MENTION]
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zpjotr:
try it yesterday 4 times :) and every time I had a Bluetooth error.

The only way I was able to use Kitkat with my note was using a custom ROM. Do not understand, what are custom rom builders do other way, but it work for me...

And more. Even with custom rom, the external sd is showed the "different" way, when in 4.3 , For example, in Total commander, there is no SD2. and some other software, do not define microsd as SD card. Just another folder in fail system...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mateenf:
Well, the architecture is the same and permission manisfest is used with all roms, sammy developers forgot to add a group I guess or did it on purpose, who knows.. but this worked like a charm for me after I flashed kitkat and felt handicapped.

Maybe you have messed up with some permission or something if you're getting the bluetooth error.

Try to do a clean flash again and then edit the file. If clean flash is not possibe pm me ur email. I will send you my xml and try to replace it with yours to see if that fixes your problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carlomagno78:
this method isnt working for me I already modified the file but still cant make the programs to access the sd card, worst than that my internal storage is "write protected"... Im starting to think to get rid of this phone it has been nothing but problems since the beggining: Region Lock, Knox crap and now the SD... whats next?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mateenf:
Can you add a screen of the platform.xml? Perhaps you may have wrongly entered the permission gid.. And you need to restart the phone after editing the file.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] carlomagno78:
Sure here it is.

I made it by flashing the zip file, am not able to copy or edit files in the internal memory because "write protection"
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mateenf:
I'd strongly recommend to do a full wipe and factory reset if you're having a custom recovery. Ive read fee forums outside XDA that many a times flashable zips have cause a problem to platform.xml.

If you dont have a custom recovery then you may need to flash the firmware again and then edit the file.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] zpjotr:
thank you for proposed help. But I'm to tired of setting up phone after all weekend "fun" with rom flashed (all together 5-6 times with full wipe) :)

I'm almost sure, I wasn't messing with anything else - I did it more then 4 times, and Bluetooth was working until I edit platform.xml

now, I start to think, it's possible the ownership and permissions were changed after editing (I was using total commander and did not check it after saving the file).

But, I'm not the only one - there someone having same issue:

Is there anybody that have same issue?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] ChardC:
Hey, I'm having the same issue, it's affecting my titanium backups. I tried the very same method above over the weekend based on instructions from another thread, but still no success.

---------- Post added at 06:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:27 PM ----------

Hey, your permissions are correct, previously I granted sdcard_rw rights, but not media_rw as mentioned in your discussion. Since the changes to show

"

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

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

"

I'm able to write and titanium backup is running smoothly.

Thanks and Cheers!

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mateenf:
That will have to wait for Samsung to push the OTA update.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] liomajor:
Today's rollout for OMN, SIM, MTL and ATL have the same missing media_rw.

If you are not on root (!!!knox 0x1!!!), i suggest NOT to update to 4.4.2

or a lot programs you paid for might not work properly if they need

access to ExtSdCard.

Dunno if its a bug or changed permissions to use ExtSdCard.

Currently only programs with system access like stock Filemanager are working.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] antt00:
I don't think there will be a fix. This is a kitkat feature where app that need access to external sd need to ask for permission. So it's up to each app developer to update their app with this permission.

I am using Xnote 8 KitKat which is supposed to include this fix and I use Dolphin Browser but when I try to change the download directory to the extsdcard I receive a message Insufficient Permissions and I can't change it. Is it relevant with this fix or is it something to do with the apk itself?

It's not a big deal but I prefer to change the download directory to extsdcard. With the default browser I can set it just fine, Chrome has not such a setting (as far as I know), anyway I prefer Dolphin.

Not all developer are full time so they might not be aware. Also some maybe using device that are not on kitkat.

You can always ASSUME the developer knows and just keep waiting. Or you can write a simple email to just inform the developer that will take like only a couple of minutes. At least then you can be sure the developer knows about it. Now is that too hard.

And lastly, almost not related in the issue... Its the app called "GAME KILLER" not working properly! I don't know why!
