Application version: all
Operating system: all
Device model and firmware version: Storage 0.52
Issue occurrency: always

Expected behaviour

When exporting the firmware, one should get warned if unencrypted volume is set to read-only (=export fails)

Current behaviour

Successful export is declared, although export wasn't possible because of read-online state

A better user experience would be a dialogue like the following:

In order to export the firmware, the unencrypted volume needs to be writeable but currently it is read-only. Do you want to set the unencrypted volume writable? Yes/No

Ideally the NK App would set the unencrypted volume back to read-only afterwards.
