Tried saving a file, copy, edit on your so graciously supported external SD card!? I did. Pretty sure it was working fine prior to unlock, but after that, it appears we fall victim of the new KK Google external SD handlings. Something to do with SElinux and what not. May be "less secure," but personally, I'm good with that. So:

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... <group gid="media_rw" />

4. Save the changes to the file.

5. Restart.

And shaboopy, you can now actually use the external SD card in file manager.

Right click/hold and save

I have never had problems with writing to my sdcard or usb. Since you are root and do have issues you could just remount with es.
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
wadda ya mean remount? you're rooted and unlocked too I thought?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
I don't root my phones. I don't usually need it and I find it poses a risk to security. But in es you can just go to root browser. Then select rw by the sdcard. Better than modifying the rom
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
whaaaaa, you're making the recovery and you don't even root!? crazy, never would have seen that coming. Security risks? eh, nothing that serious to me I suppose. Well there in lies the difference bro, wonder if it not working isn't because of unlock, but maybe root then. Swipe over in es, select root, set all to rw still nothing man. Are you unlocked?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
I am unlocked so I can work on recovery and roms. I do root aosp roms because they have added protection. Btw selinux seems disabled in this stock rom
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
strange, so htc latest kk isn't secure enough for you? yea, do think selinux disabled would not allow sd writing? I'm confused
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
No. You just need to mount it rw. That's all I've ever had to do
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
how are you doing this? es file explorer, swipe to left, hit root explorer, hit rw, check all to rw? cuz I do that and it does not allow me to write to ext_sd

This is unmodified stock.

This means /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd

This directory let's you write anything ... It's how camera saves to it
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
Ok, thought I totally evaded the weird write things some people are having, but it definitely does not allow me to write when setting mnt/media_rw/ext_sd to rw. That's what I was trying to say i was doing that didn't do anything for me. Some other mod interfering? have cap's boot.img with init.d and unsecure and something else, and flar2's wp and s2w init scripts, and that's it I believe. But people, including cap, are experiencing some weird write issues that they think they need an RUU to get fixed...
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] simonsickle:
You don't need an ruu. Just need to DD /dev/zero to that partition and then flash a zip. Anyways. Your not writing to /storage/* are you. That won't work..... Has to be the same place you changed permissions to lol

You don't modify anything. Just go up a level and go to /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd

K, flashed stock 1.54, media_rw/ext_sdcard works for writing, but still no Bueno for me. You can write like copy n paste, but it won't allow me to extract a zip.... Weird. Also, not a fan of not being to go to stock es sdcard dir and just do what I gotta do

Yeah I didn't think that it would work without root, but simonsickle's posts made it sound like he kept insisting that it would work without root.

Anyway, I have since rooted and seem to be able to manage the external card by going through mnt/media_rw/ext_sd...

but it still doesn't work if I try to do anything with my files in storage/ext_sd.

I used ES File Explorer to add "<group gid="media_rw" /> under the "WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" permission in platform.xml, but I noticed that after I rebooted the phone, my platform.xml file was back to how it was before (without media_rw where I added it).
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] MassStash:
You should go ahead and S-Off for a million other reasons, but if for some reason you don't get allllllll the benefits of s-off'ing, you'll need to setup flar2's write protection disabled mod. Without that, stock non S-Off will not keep changes made to system.

Hey All

Prepare to laugh --

I've been working with this sweet device and while I was troubleshooting a sprint SIM unlock, I flashed an ADB AT&T Rom, probably should have thought better.

In the end, it's got a locked bootloader now, HBOOT 1.55 S-ON and I can't get anywhere past bootloader.

Accessing the device in bootloader/fastboot yields an "Unrecognized Device". USB 2.0

This is on Windows 8/8.1/ x64 Win 7/XP x32.

Any ideas?

I can accept my shame if this is a bricked phone and no one wants to help me. :)

If it is bricked, I'll be happy to send it to a known developer for use!

I use NILS floating panel for LS notifcations that I can slide right away instead of dragging down and tapping, but because of the "Charging" text when the phone is plugged in I have to leave them towards the middle of the screen and it doesn't look quite right.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shtinkypuppie:
Howdy,

I'm having a strange problem with my totally stock S3 with the latest android update. I found it dead in my pocket the other day. It was totally unresponsive to the power key.I tried about 5 different batteries to no avail. When I plug it into a car charger, it shows an empty battery with a frozen 'thinking' circle, then turns off. When I plug it into a Samsung wall charger, it does the same 'frozen thinking circle, ' then appears to charge the battery. While it's plugged in to the samsung charger, I can turn it on. It goes through the boot screens, but crashes during the Sprint splash screen. If I unplug the charger, it is completely unresponsive again. I COULD boot into recovery mode (with the samsung charger plugged in), and have tried wiping the cache. I don't want to factory recover it because the data on the phone is more important to me than the hardware. I can't get it to boot into safe mode.

Today I flashed the firmware with ODIN. ODIN says it was successful, but the phone still has exactly the same problem. If there's no way to fix it, is there any way to pull the data off?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Eric
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue Penguin:
Recovering data from hosed phone

Since your data is so important to you, don't flash anything else until you do the following.

If you have data on a removable SD card, take it out! Get an SD card reader if you don't already have one and make a backup of the SD card contents on the PC. Also, leave the SD card out of the phone until you get it working. It could either be part of the problem or something else to get hosed.

See if you can use adb to get the data off while the phone is booted into recovery.

Make sure the phone has been on a charger for a couple of hours (data cable do charge, but slowly).

Using the latest supported ODIN for your phone, try flashing an Android 4.1 stock rooted rom (to avoid KNOX bootloader), and the newest Clockword Mod recovery and the newest modem. Boot the phone up (hopefully it works), update PRL and profile, don't update anything else, and then you can flash your preferred ROM. No flashing stock ROMs that are 4.2 or newer, risk of getting KNOX bootloader which you DON'T want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shtinkypuppie:
Thanks for your reply. The SD card is out, but unfortunately most of the data I want is on the phone's internal storage. If I'm not already rooted, will ADB work at all? I don't suppose there's any way to remove the internal storage and graft it into a working phone, is there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue Penguin:
Recovery mode adb

Sorry for the delay, been busy.

adb while in recovery should give you root even if you haven't rooted your ROM. I just tested it with CWM. I am rooted, but I didn't have to su like I do when I am using adb while running the ROM. Recovery mode you are started off as root. /data isn't accessible until your use the menu option to mount it (don't be under /data when you do it). adb pull your files and then cd out of /data, select umount and then you are done recovering data.

Hi.

I have a same problem too. Did you find solution about baseband and ime.

İf you find help please
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisinger08:
I don't think a csc file is what you need...NC2 is official KitKat, your buildnumber ends with MLG, which means you are on the leaked build of KitKat. Both are 'KitKat', but they're are different firmwares...based on the problems you've described here I think your problems are coming from mixing pieces of MLG and NC2 together. It sounds like you may have some experience with odin from flashing modems, I think the easiest thing to do is to do a full flash to NC2 to clean your system up. This will get rid of the signal issues caused by different modems and you'll have the full NC2 firmware (bootloader, baseband, recovery, etc) for a solid foundation to flash custom roms on :)

Obligatory warning: once you flash official NC2 you are locked to it and you can NOT downgrade to anything with a lower build number - anything with MLG, MJ5, MI9 is out unless you really really really know what you're doing so definitely read up on that if you're not sure and decide if it's something you want to do.

If it is, it's easy as pie all of the NC2 files you need to flash via Odin are in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/note-3-att/general/n900aucucnc2-odin-files-t2838117

If not, I'd still recommend reflashing full firmware...just MLG though ;)

Not sure what you mean by ime, but a clean flash to NC2 fixex pretty much everything!

I am by no means an expert in all this, definitely read all of the warnings that the devs put in their threads!

Hope that helps and you get your Note sorted soon!
