Hi, after updating to android 4.2.2, I encountered the Eaccess Permission Denied error when an app tried to write into the sd card, making the card read-only. So this is a guide to fix that problem.
Requirements:
Device must be rooted
Root Explorer installed
Fixing the problem:
Using root explorer navigate to System/etc/permissions
Open platform.xml using root explorer's Text Editor
Find the permission "Write_External_Storage" and there will be the permission group: "sdcard_rw"
Add another group directly under that one: <group gid="media_rw" />
Save changes made in the file and exit
Reboot your device
Done! Now apps have the permission to write data on the external sd card.
ive tried this fix a few times a few different ways but it wont let me overwrite the platform.xml with the corrected version..... what the heck am i doing wrong, im a total noob to this
I'm with you southsamurai - I'm not a complete noob but this one has me stumped, my guess is our situation has nothing to do with the contents of platform.xml because even with root access I can't save changes to it...
But I may be wrong... Did you fix your issue somehow?
