Google/Android decided they didn't want you to write there in the new versions. However, there is a work around.
Here is one of the free apps that will change settings to allow you to write to the SD card:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
There are others. But, I think that all require you to be rooted.

Just for a lark, try Googling: KitKat SD Card.
I think you will find the change happened in ALL stock versions of KitKat It was an intentional change. However, almost all custom/modified ROMs turned this "feature" off as soon as they could.

Still saves them to Storage/extSdCard/DCMI/Camera on my SD card in my AT&T S4. So must be a T-Mobile thing.

Interesting, since I just searched on the S4 AT&T forum, and there are plenty of posts about it. Here's one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2687513

[IMG] 4.3 Debrick image

THIS IMAGE WILL ONLY WORK IF YOU BRICKED AFTER UPGRADING TO 4.3 MK3. IT WILL NOT WORK IF YOU WERE ON 4.1.2 JELLYBEAN OR ANYTHING ELSE.
4.3 ONLY
People are looking for this everywhere so I thought a new thread was necessary.
Huge thanks to @thenexusgeneration for dumping this from his new device!!
Enjoy!
I'll be uploading this to my site soon and other mirrors will be available as it is the only currently working image
https://mega.co.nz/#!4s1SQTAA!fVWpGc8Ww-DWv-0VA797V_Bd7MEBOt6EevFuglUNPrQ
so how do people go about using this, backup/restore via recovery menu? asking cause I'm sure you're going to be asked by people who bricked their phones and searching the net for a fix
People who find this will know what to do with it. But no, you don't restore because this fix will unbrick a completely DEAD device. One that won't even power on

Over on the DeBrick thread, none of the images (4.3 or otherwise) would work for me, and others with 32gb 4.3 phones. I jtag repaired mine, and made this 32gb image. I re-broke the bootloader on the phone to test it and it works. It requires a 32gb sdcard, I used an off brand class 2 to test with, and it worked the very first time.
So anyone with a 4.3 32gb, try this debrick image:
32gb_43_knox_debrick.img.7z - 26.91 MB (128 MB decompressed)
if you haven't had any luck with anything else.

I would think it wouldn't matter but it does. I have gone over every sites to try to unbrick my phone but none have worked except this. Even with the following method it wouldn't work with 16GB sdcard. Only with 32GB worked for me. Just a little background on my phone setup:
Sprint GS3 16GB 4.3 VPUCMK3
Rooted with CF Rooting method
Bricked by loading NeatROM v3.6 for I9300

That wasn't what I was referring to, I was referring to the phones storage size not the sdcard's size.

My bad, guess I've been going over the various method that require sdcard to be the same as the phone storage size and had no luck with it.
That you so much for this. Worked perfectly on my friends Bricked S III.
This does work. I have just gotten to download mode after coming from hardbrick QCMUSB_DLOAD mode. You MUST use something > 32g SDHC. I Used 64g SDXC, still worked. I'm back up and running.
Excellent! truly Excellent. XDA community is GREAT!
i need some help. i downloaded something on my sprint s3 that apparently I should not have and immediately hardbricked. Want even turn on no response to buttons etc. What can I do?? I used it for so much other than my phone. Please help
It is best to read the entire thread before posting, to make sure your question has not already been answered. Some users get annoyed when explaining something when the answer is 3 posts above. Unless your S3 is not 4.3 your solution is in the OP. If you cannot download the file, tell them the link is broken.

Small internal space now? What to do? KitKat

So, I stupidly upgraded my tablet to KitKat a while back and now my SD card is rendered useless. I don't want to root because I don't want it to be a brick, so what should I do now?
I bought a 16GB tablet because my plan was to save everything on my SD card....

Hi,
You don't say which model you own ??
If it is a SM-P605 you can root it with TowelRoot without problem nor risk.
Once rooted you can install SDFix from Google Play to recover the use of your external SD.

I do not have mine yet. It comes in Monday but upgrading to Kit-Katie kills the SD slot? I Know I ordered the 600 and not the 605
Hope I didn't make a mistake with this tablet

Kit-Kat has restricted the access to the External SD to Read-Only for the external app's.
The system App's can still write on it.
This can changed with the above mentionned app but it needs root.

Yes but we need to know which model: Wifi only (SM-P600) or Wifi + 3G (SM-P601) or Wifi +LTE (SM-P605)
Only the P605 can be rooted without tripping Knox.
If you dont want to root Just save your files to internal memory and move them to wherever you want on the external sd card using the stock my files app. Its not just the note. Every android tablet that runs KitKat has the same behavior.

Q: howto enable RW on SD Card on lollipop

How to enable RW on SD Card on Lollipop? Galaxy tab s 8.4 WiFi
On kitkat i would root it and instal sd fix, but on lollipop i dont know how.
thx,
Same as kitkat.
I thought lollipop had the sd card problem already fixed, That was the only reason i was going to upgrade, but i rooted kitkat and use the sd card fix, so no lollipop for me.

Only for compatible apps that have that permission included. If the developer doesn't include it, the app won't get write permission.
I did not know that thanks.

JasmineRom: How to enable "Format sdcard as internal"

Hey folks! I'm currently running JasmineRom 7.0, and I was wondering if there is any way to re-enable the "Format as Internal" feature that stock MM gives for sdcards? I read that Samsung disabled this feature on their ROMs. I also read that this option can be re-enabled by editing a line in /Data/System/rc.xxxxxxxx (can't remember the config file name) for the LG G3. Is it also possible to enable it for us rooted Note 4 users? Has anyone on here done this?

Hey, thanks! I'll try this one of these days when I'm feeling a bit daring. My 32gb sdcard is only a class 4 I didn't even realize they made them that slow anymore. Time for a newer card I suppose. Probably best to have the fastest card possible before using this feature.

That's the downside of using adoptable storage. The fastest SD cards aren't nearly as fast as the memory in the phone.
