not able to write to external storage

[N Mok]

any idea why I'm not able to write to my external storage? I'm running Android 7.0, root'd on an LGV20. my external storage is referenced as B45D-F8AF, but what's odd is that there's mention of A021-2A41, which I think may have been my old SD card. any suggestions on how to fix this?

Try granting permission in Menu / More / Android Settings.

The reference to the old SD is just because you granted permissions for it, which havn't
been revoked apparently.

Pent, I did do that... but no change. I ended up having to go into Settings > Apps > Tasker > Storage > External Storage > Clear access. after doing that then I was able to use what you mentioned to get everything working...

N Mok--

Any idea how to steps would change on Android 6?  I'm having the same problem as you (put in a new SD card, which was given a different ID, and the same error as yours where it lists both the old and new ID).  However, when I go to Apps > Tasker > Storage, there is no option for "External Storage" (and thus "Clear Access").  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how you would do that on Android 6... unless someone else knows, the only other suggestion I would say to do is backup your Tasker settings and then wipe data followed by restoring the settings.

Thanks for the reply.  :-)

For anyone who has a similar problem, uninstalling, then reinstalling did fix the issue for me.  (running Android 6)
