Write access to external SD in MiBox
Posted: 2022-02-06, 09:21 UTC
Today I've installed an update to my MiBox device (it uses Android 9 and tells that core version is 4.9.113) and I can't write to my external HDD attacted to MiBox anymore. I used to copy multimedia files from LAN to HDD before (it is slower than if I attach HDD to PC but there is no need to move HDD between PC and MiBox) but it is broken now.
When I enter external HDD from root screen, TC shows a message telling that external SD is write-protected since Android 5 and some kind of a tooltip appears over it telling that "No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.os.storage.action.OPEN_EXTERNAL_DIRECTORY (has extras) }". If If click Yes, TC shows an error message about missing com.android.documentsui app. I've tried to install some versions of this app but with no luck, it seems that TC just crashed when I click Yes in order to select external drive folder.
Is there a way to get write access to external HDD w/o this Files app?
