How To Fix KitKat SD Card Write Restriction

In the last days Samsung has been pushing out Android 4.4.2 to flagship devices like the Galaxy Note III and Galaxy S4. Unfortunately, Google implemented an SD card write restriction in the latest Android version which can be quite annoying for users with an SD card in their phone.

The new “feature” basically restricts apps from writing to external SD cards. This can be quite annoying, because many users want to store apps on a secondary SD card instead of the main storage unit.

Luckily, fixing this problem can be easily done if you have root access. Here’s how you can do it (Please be aware that you’re performing these changes on your own risk!):

Make sure that you have root access
Perform a NANDROID backup to be completely safe
Use a root-enabled file manager and navigate to /system/etc/permissions
Edit platform.xml and find “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“
Add an additional group definition for this permission: <group gid=”media_rw” />
Save the changes and restart your device
You are now able to write on your external SD card again

I hope that I was able to help you.

What is wscript.exe and how to remove it?



wscript.exe - Windows-based script host by Microsoft


What is wscript.exe?



wscript.exe is a Windows service that allows you to execute VBScript files. Normally, it is not dangerous, but if a malicious script is downloaded and executed it will appear as if wscript.exe is the culprit, when it is really a separate .vbs file. Antivirus programs usually detect C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe as the culprit, however, it's not necessarily infected. It may be that your computer is infected with Worms and Trojans that attempt to execute malicious .vbs scripts. Most users, get these malware infections from SD cards, pen drives and of course infected websites. Malicious files may change Windows registry, establish connection to remove servers controlled by cyber crooks and download additional malware modules. Other issues: can't open Regedit, certain Windows options are missing, can't acces Contol Panel. Malware may also block anti-malware and Windows system utilities. You should not delete wscript.exe manually, many Windows services require it and our computer may not function properly if it cannot be found. But you should use recommend anti-malware software to remove wscript.exe related malware from your computer.
