Maybe it is the same for me all android data folders and files have an owner 501023 and group appsupport-media_rw. Do you know what are the correct values?

android_storage in home:

I’m guessing 501023 is the new unprivileged user. Also some leftover folders from migration, might be tricky to get it working manually, weird fresh install of appsupport doesn’t work (since you have 501023 somehow the migration broke I guess)
The SD card in Android speak is actually ~/android_storage. Just install an Android file manager (Total Commander is pretty good) and look into /sdcard.
The owner and group of the app have changed but the data directory has the old ones and is thus not writable.
Possible solutions:
as root (pkexec bash, sudo or devel-su)
chmod -R 777 ~/android_storage/Android/data/com.audible.application/
as 1 but chown -R newuser:newgroup instead of chmod -R 777
rename the existing data directory and let the app create a new one. When the app works, import or move your data to the new directory. This needs root, too, because the directory is 770.
Edit: I don’t use the app, I just tried a clean install. Audible might save stuff in other places, like
~/android_storage/Android/media/
Check if ~/android_storage/ has a hidden file
.storage_migration_done
Also experienced this. Tried removing .privilege_migration_done and .storage_migration_done, started Android support. Saw that Documents and Audiobooks were set with owner 510043:510043 (rest remained with 501023:appsupport-media_rw). Did chown 510043:510043 -R * in ~/android_storage, downloading media started to work again.
Thanks, mate! That also did the trick on my X10II - however, on my device it’s 510031:510031, so just copying the chown command might not work on every device…
Audible and WhatsApp are working properly again.
Maybe one should be careful. I have problems with my SD-Card in Spotify App.
I did the chown and now banking app no more working and Aurora cannot install packages :-/
I have the same issue. However I have no folder/file with the correct user:group. Even setting the read/write to 777 doesn’t help. Is there a way I can get the correct user:group? I have tried the above suggestions.
I have reinstalled osmAND+ for this error. But I can’t find the old files to remove… Costing about 25GB of storage…
SOLVED FOR ME! Steps I used.
0. Stop the android services if there running. Use the settings to do so.
Dev-mode on.
SSH in device or use terminal.
Navigate to ~/android_storage/
use devel-su to elevate to root user.
remove 2 files: ‘.privilege_migration_done’ and ‘.storage_migration_done’. The leading dots are mandatory.
Start the android runtime from the settings menu. This will take a while.
In the terminal nog have a look at ls -la. This will show a lot of files, folders and there user/groups.
Look for a folder that has a user and group with the same number.

The top one gives the numbers you need.
Then run
chown 510107:510107 -R *
This will change the owner of all files and folders.
10. No open you android apps again.
11. Happy sailing
