Hello all,

I appreciate all the information given on this forum. It has really helped in a lot of ways.

Android: 4.3
Kernel: 3.0.31
Phone: d2tmo (T999)
ExternalSD: ext4

Is there anything else I need to post?

I have quick a weird problem. I just flashed a custom kernel I created with a few wireless modules loaded

I can mount the external SD card within adb
Code:
mount -o rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/local/linux
then
Code:
ls -l
Shows me all the files that are on the ext4 partition, no problems here

Using Root Browser, (on a folder with the same uid:gid as the user within adb)
Nothing. No folder / files. If I create a folder / file here, it does not show in the adb terminal at all.

I have the folder 0777 data, local, and linux. Still nothing.
platform.xml even has the media_rw, and root GIDs turned on.
After searching for days and coming up with nothing, I need to ask. How do I fix this?

I can post my .config if neeed

I have another kernel branch that has a lot more customization, but this is built from the Samsung JB Opensource code using arm-eabi-linaro-4.6.2 toolchain.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is driving me crazy.
Ill post the final kernel once it's finished. I'm using the GS3 as a dev platform before I move this over to the S5. Just want to make sure I get a few things ironed out first (Ill have to do the SD card stuff all over again in 4.4.4 im sure)
