[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Ok, I mean what is the use of having external memory if you can not write it ?

I can not use cloud storage may sound nice but my ISP gives me almost nothing for data and charges a fortune for what little they give me.

Easy to fix if you root.

It is easy to root too, but rooting trips Knox, are we to take a chance nothing goes wrong with our devices?

Rooting is great, use Titanium Backup to freeze and uninstall "bloat", but I keep reading about Knox.

Seen the solution, edit a file only thing the next people in the thread said the solution does not work.

You should still be able to attach the card to your PC copy files ?

Currently have a card in the microSD slot, rooted tab, edited build.prop. I'm able to see both internal and external SD Card locations when plugged in via USB to my PC. I'm also able to read files placed there from within the applications that I use. Things that I've tried include exporting files to the external microSD from one program and deleting them using another, dragging and dropping from my PC to external card and then accessing the files from within various applications on the tablet.

☆☆☆I have tested and can confirm following these directions to the letter on a rooted device, does solve the problem on the Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 - SM-P900. I'm now able to write & save to my Sandisk 64gb HS SD card without any problems at all!☆☆☆

Instructions are below in red text. You must be rooted & follow them exactly!

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. ;)

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Rooting means Knox = 1 why would I want to throw out my warranty on a device I paid $750 for? That is an awful big risk

3. means nothing to people that never done this "Add an additional group definition for this permission", really and how do you do that?

My question is this ( I know what board this is ) but nobody has an issue rooting even if it means no warranty?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heppieboeddah:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
I guess with all the Smartphones and Tablets I owned, ask myself how many times did I actually claim Warranty?

Maybe I should just man up, use chainfire and call it a day, but step 3 still seem vague to me, I think the original thread for this fix is on the Note 2 forum and I they have a picture what the file should look like after it has been edited.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExtremeRyno:
I've rooted every device I've owned and I've never had any reason to file a warranty claim on any of them. Before I root I do spend a few days pushing my machine to the limit and attempting to crash it through abnormal use. If it functions as expected, I root. It took me about eight hours before I decided to go ahead and root the 12.2. :)

If you are so worried about your warranty why not go and buy a Square Trade warranty. Doesn't matter if you root or whatever, they'll still warranty it. ;)

Your question about rooting has already been asked time and time again, and guess what, there's also a proper forum for that as well.

Seems to me you bought this device because it was new and shiny, lol. Maybe you might want to search a little harder before posting next time. :p

Well if one is afraid loosing warranty. Do not root or edit. Peronally i nver had to claim warranty so i dont know what will happen if i have to..:cowboy:

But if one does excactly what is described. Nothing will go wrong. If you edit the file with rootexplorer it will make a backup, so if something goes wrong you are always able to restore the original file.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nvan7891:
I just popped in a 32gb Sony SD card, and successfully copied over some files without issue. I have root. I wonder why only some devices are having this issue?

On the decision to root - for me, personally, the device isn't worth the money it cost unless it's rooted. Maybe I'm spoiled, but after not having used a single phone or tablet without it since my OG Droid, I cant imagine not having it. I tend to baby my electronics, often to an excess. That usually only lasts for the first year, though. By that time, I'm already eyeing something new and a lot of warranties are no longer valid. With phones I've always gotten insurance, so I could drop it off a cliff onto a landmine and replace it for 50 bucks.

Having a Riff box is nice as well. I doubt it supports this tablet yet, but it has more than paid for itself by fixing a few bricked phones. I was able to reverse a Knox upgrade on one if my s3's. According to this, even with Jtag it is impossible to reverse the warranty bit. Bummer. I'd still recommend one to anyone who runs the risk of bricking something on a near daily basis.

I will add, though, that I encountered something new while trying to perform an adb backup today. When I tried to "adb root" it says "adb cannot run as root in production devices." I can use su inside an adb shell, though.

I have not rooted and have a note pro 12.2 Wi-Fi-only 64gb model and do NOT have any issues with writing to or deleting from an external sd card (fat32 64gb U1 official Samsung card)

I'm curious as to why I am not having this problem while others are...

my firmware is NAE
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
Depends on what you're using to write or delete.

For example, try with file managers.

Using the built in My Files, I can write and delete files on the SD card no problem- the app must have read/write permission.

Now install a file manager like X-plore. (personally, my favorite)

Trying to write or delete files on SD fails- it has no access. I've noticed other third party apps are the same.

I'm curious what apps you've using to write/delete with?

Heck, I've noticed even Hancom Office will only save files to its own designated area of the SD card, not just anywhere I want to save.

The other day I was infuriated when I was marking up a PDF using Repligo Reader (file off SD card) and the app failed when trying to save. (I'd forgotten about this when it happened.) Worse, there was no save as and choose a writable location- I just lost what I'd done.

Anyway, I know I can just root and fix this, I just haven't felt like rooting my brand new $750 Note 12.2 yet. I know some people root expensive devices more often than they change underwear, but not all of us do. I'll probably do it, but mainly it just annoys me that Google thinks this insanity is a good idea in the first place. They're getting more and more like Apple- our way or the highway, let's force the user into what we want' nonsense these days.

ES file manager
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaptoons:
Near as I can tell it must be app specific. ES FM has write permissions on SD for me as well. But X-Plore and others don't. (I prefer X-plore for dual pane navigation which is perfect on a huge screen like the 12.2) I wish there was a way to simply grant individual apps full SD write access without root.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Question for Sterist : I'm rooted and I've already blindly done the platform.xml edit and am too lazy to revert back. Zaptoons noted that another issue is the inability to freely save Hancom office files to various folders on external microSD. Is that working for you as well and can you describe how you tested that in detail?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodo99x:
I'm rooted but haven't done the Platform.xml fix yet. I wasn't able to create a folder or save a document in Hword.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
Thanks. One of my concerns about threads like this is the potential for readers to misinterpret reports of no issues when in fact users reporting them may just not be fully aware enough to make an informed determination that they are unaffected by the issue. I think it's best for everyone to be detailed in what is working and what isn't with specific applications and processes so that verification can be made across multiple devices.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minionhunter:
Just an additional reply.

P900, not rooted, 128gb card is recognized by my device, but I can't write to it (somethings have) but I can't (hooked up to my computer with debugging on), and QuickPic can't write to it either.

Guess I'm going to have to root.

EDIT:

1. the card is generic off ebay, registers as 125gb avaliable

2. The card has two folders LOST.DIR and Android

3. The Android folder has a data subfolder with five other folders

com.google.android.music

com.google.android.youtube

flipboad.app

org.mozilla.firefox

sstream.app

I also tried to download a pdf from firefox to the extsd card and it failed. This download failed from dolphin, but worked (to internal space) with firefox.

Just more info.

EDIT2:

Neither ES File Explorer or ZArchiver were able to create a folder.

Can it be ES File Explorer has different permissions than ES File Manager?

Also an OP said something about having a counterfit SD card and it not working, is this real or is it just I have not rooted and applied the fix yet? Seems like some programs on the device have written to the card, even if the program can't save to the card. $60 sure beats $200 for the 128gb card.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can't answer your question directly because I rooted mine. However, I do have a genuine Toshiba 64GB UHS-I which can't be written to by the 12.2" even rooted. My other 2 cards have no such issue (Samsung 32GB & Sandisk Ultra 64GB UHS-I). The strangest thing is that this Toshiba card works perfectly with all other devices, including Tab2 7, Tab 3 8 & Xperia SP (all rooted). This card has been tested okay with different PC softwares so I have no idea what the problem is. Maybe it's UHS-I capability issue?

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apo11on:
Rooting doesnt always trip knox - it depends on the root method. Also, you're not going to lose warranty over rooting because un-rooting the device is even easier than rooting. There is a bunch of apps that do that, including SuperSU itself, and you can also just flash the stock image back via Odin.

If you're afraid of rooting then perhaps XDA forums isn't the right place for you...

As far as SD Card permissions go - yes, Google really fuked them up in KitKat and they're getting heat about it from the community. However, there is no need to manually mess with xmls and other system configuration, if you're not sure what you're doing - there are several apps on the market, that fix those permissions and revert things back to normal - just search for "kitkat sd fix". Also, there are several advanced file managers, such as FX, which have the sd permissions fix available in settings. There is also Xposed module for this, and [MENTION=582585]jru[/MENTION]mmy19 took care of this in Rom Toolbox as well. He also released standalone app on the market. Needless to say - all these fixes require root.

As for multi uninstalling, you'll need a third party app, such as titanium backup, or a factory reset could do.

Hi,

First off, this forum has been a life saver. The phone works, but certain annoyances exist.

My wife wanted the JasJar, but the price points I saw were unattainable. I finally was able to grab a similar device off eBay. I bought an Orange SPV M5000. Thought it would run on t-Mobile USA no prob.

I got the phone with the SIM-lock on and an outdated ROM. Came accross your posts and found the universal unlocker. That worked wonderfully! Thanks. Then I tried my wife's SIM card. No luck. Put in mine... that worked. So, called T-mobile. What a bunch of tech-unsavvy folk. They sent me to a retail store to try a new SIM card. Turns out that my SIM card is from back in the Voicestream days.

Anyway, imagine my frustration. Did a lot more searching around the forums and found that a lot of issues may be resolved with reflashes. Ended up downloading the latest AKU-2 ROM from Orange (the one flashed right now). The first flash wasn't too good (blackscreened after flash). As the old saying goes: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again". So, I did. To my suprise, that worked.

Here are the good things:

1.) the SIM lock did not reappear (a fear that I had at first)

2.) My wife's T-Mobile SIM card was now recognized by the device

All good, no?

Well, not quite. I have all the "Orange" customizations on the device. You know: network, "orange world" (whatever the hell that is), and various other things, like no real "today" screen.

As mentioned by many other nOO-b's out there, there is a huge signal to noise ratio in these forums. I've been searching through the forums for 2 days now trying to ascertain which ROM I should flash to my wife's phone.

So here is the meat of the question:

Would anyone be able to say specifically which ROM I should flash to be able to use the device on the T-Mobile USA network with the least amount of customizations or at least using the T-Mobile USA applicable customizations?

Thanks for your input in advance. As I said, you guys rock (hence the donation :D )

All the best,

G.

I am running the latest iMate ROM on my O2 Exec with T-Mobile US.... All you really need to do is skip the "customization" at the end of the install (do a soft reset when it wants to start). Even easier - remove the ExtRom installer part completely. Apart from the Power Profiles I haven't found anything useful in that part. (and I have extracted the PowerProfiler and done a separate installer for it.

Radio version 1.09 seems to work fine for me, YMMV

You can replace the startup images too, I put one up with my email address and a warning that the device is registered with the police.

Thank you, lbendlin. I always appreciate this type of help. It would be helpful if you could direct me to where I could find this "latest iMate ROM". Even more helpful would be if you could direct me to someplace that has instructions on removal of parts of the ROMS.

The Wiki is your friend... http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

Back when I installed it the ROM was on the FTP site here. I believe you can also get it through Club Imate.

It doesn't really matter. If you remove the ExtROM part then the ROMs are all the same. You can use the O2 ROM, and do the same stuff.

(Overall phone is behaving a bit slow sometimes too, which didn't happen as soon as I flashed NeatRom.)

[Sony Xperia M] Torious:
Hi,

Been using an Xperia M since Feb 22, and yesterday I experienced a touchscreen 'crash' for the first time: It seems as if no touch is detected. I panicked and eventually reflashed kernel and reinstalled CM (as per this) - problem solved (but lost data).

Just now the problem happened again and I reflashed kernel only, which fixed it.

I'm a noob, so what's going on here?

1) This is a software problem, right? Since reflashing kernel fixed it.

2) Is this some kind of problem with the CM build I'm using (see link above)

3) Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Thanks for any help!
[Sony Xperia M] Torious:
Well the same thing happened again. Kernel re-flash did NOT fix it this time.

Does anyone have any idea how to prevent this from happening? And anyone who may be able to explain why this happens?

Thanks for any insights

EDIT: A few reboots later it's fixed again. (just reflashed kernel). The previous times rebooting did NOT help.

[Sony Xperia M] Torious:
Ok, so, some updates.

I switched from PecanCM's CM11 build to FreeXperia (311), but the problem still happened, just a few hours back.

Maybe it's just some app that's not playing nice or something, but I have very few apps, and nothing weird, so I don't know what it could be.

Anyway, turns out that if I reboot the phone through Flashtool when the touchscreen is frozen, it FIXES it.

But if I "reboot" by removing and replacing the battery, or through SMS TASKS, this does NOT fix it.

Maybe this is useful to someone out there, and I'll post here if I ever figure out the problem
