For some reason, no apps on my phone (including adb, after running su
) can modify any files in any subdirectory of /storage
. I also can’t use my file manager on my computer to edit, create, or delete files on my phone. However, everything else works perfectly – until an app tries to save a file (all apps are still saving their databases and settings correctly – this only applies to my personal files).
Each of these files are owned by root, with group “sdcard_r”. Files have permissions -rw-rw----
, and directories have drwxrwx---
which seems right. I tried reinstalling my file manager and other apps (in case their UID’s somehow left the group), and that didn’t solve anything.
My guess is the partition is mounted as read-only, but I’m not sure how to fix it, or which partitions are mounted incorrectly. This problem persists after multiple reboots.
Here’s the output of the mount
command:

I have a rooted T-Mobile Galaxy S5 running stock Android 5.0. The issue started after I accidentally launched recovery mode, but I didn’t do anything – actually, I assumed that it was unrelated at first. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
You can easily establish if the reason is a read-only mount or incorrect permissions. When in root shell, try busybox touch /storage/emulated/legacy/blah.txt
. If it says read-only filesystem
, then it's a r/o
mount; if it says access denied
then it's a permission problem.
