Micro SD Write-Protection error !!

This is an unusual problem. I am using a 2GB Sandisk MicroSD card on my G3 running a slightly modified version of DDJP2. The problem i am facing is that i can neither delete the contents of my MicroSD Card nor format it. Here are the steps i took:
1) Tried deleting folders individually as well as batch-wise
2) Unmounted & Formatted SD Card from Phone
3) Connected to a PC running XP SP3 (Both in Kies & Mass Storage mode) and tried to delete / format
4) Tried both quick format as well as the total format
5) Flashed different firmwares, wiped cache/data, hard reset and then formatted
In all the above cases, when i re-checked the SD Card, i could all the original files available on the card. Surprisingly, all the folders e.g. the music/songs folder was working fine.
Deleting the folder(s) shows that the content is write-protected; therefore it is probably not letting me delete or format the contents. While searching for possible solutions i came across some (unique?) methods -
1) Flipping the "write' switch -- Not possible since i do not use an adapter and the MicroSD hasnt got one built-in
2) Taping a notch - Wasnt sure what that meant exactly
3) Try formatting the MicroSD in a Camera - Eh ?
Anyone could possibly enlighten me on how to remove the write-protection on my MicroSD w/o using any kind of external device and possibly by software manipulation only ?

I am too having this exact problem. it's a 8gb micro sdhc.
have you solved it or it was a malfunction on the card?

maybe you should try formating it in cwm?

cwm--clockworkmod recovery.
if you have extended power menu you can enter in it by that way....if not...power off phone..then...hold volume + and - together and press home key and then power on key...hold them together until samsung logo appears then let them go...phone will boot in cwm recovery mode...

the problem is that I don't have a samsung phone. only posted here because os a google search about my problem.
although I have an htc magic 32a but I don't know if I can do that here...

No, i couldnt solve the problem and replaced the card. Although my folders on the "defective" card work fine and i can even transfer them via bluetooth. I must admit i didnt try CWM wipe at that time although i did try advanced wiping softwares via PC. For flashing CWM or a CWM enabled kernel please visit your phone's sub-section on XDA. You must flash CWM on your phone, mot only to try the wipe but also to make a backup of your phone's image in case it gets corrupted and you need to restore it

Tried this on an Htc Magic with clockwork recovery installed. tried to format /sdcard but got error:
"error mounting /sdcard!
skipping format...
done"
tried also partitioning sd card but got error too.
and btw the previous filesystem is exfat so that is why it can't be mounted in android.
anyway also tried formatting in gparted and macintosh. both failed.

bump*
hope someone already solve this problem.. .
or else my 16gb micro sd will be gone to waste
I tried all of the possible things on the net.. .

The camera suggestion (formatting after putting in a digital camera) did the trick for me, good idea! It gave me a new set of DCIM folders, but I can pop it into my PC now and just delete them. Seems ridiculous that my camera can do it but my PC can't.

[Q] External and Internal Storage Cards Unmounting automatically in JB 4.1.1

I installed stock JB 4.1.1 via CWM by paplu3. After flashing it I am facing a very unusual problem. My external card and internal storage card keep on unmounting atleast once in a day. I tried to find a pattern but the unmounting times are totally random. I have to restart the phone in order to bring them back as I can't mount them back from Settings.
Has anyone faced a problem like this? Please help me to solve this. Thanks.

restore your previous ROM

Thanks for helping mate. But the solution to the problem was very simple and basic. I removed the memory card and inserted it again. Boom! No problem from last 4 days. I used your trick anyway just to switch my memory card and phone storage.

[Q] How to move apps data/obb on my HTC Desire 816 (Android)?

My main problem is I cant move my game data/obb files to my external SD card. I tried a bunch of apps like GL to SD, apps2sd, directory bind etc other than foldermount but failed every time.
Ok now the option is to do factory reset or flash stock rom......though i used iPhone for 4 years and jailbreak and other things was a very easy things for me but I am very much new in ANDROID.
So i need some idea about how to do flash stock rom and factory reset and how these can help moving apps data to external sd card.
May be I have explained my problem.
Thanks

okay Bro,
I have a thread regrading folder mount.
read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/how-to-foldermount-t2828552
and you can factory reset your device ..
go to settings-> accounts-> backup and reset-> factory data reset
and if you want to flash rom , I don't have much info about flashing rom to HTC. but you there is a thread of custom rom for HTC Desire 816 dual sim. ask about it there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2712315

the problem is the sd card....
i took out my sd card, and it have been 3 days now and the apps stop crashing...
so i am guessing the sd card was the problem... i am not sure why as yet

Glad to hear that its solved
Since Issue is resolved .. Thread Closed Thanks .

[Completed] [Q] Please help! Can not delete folder, keeps multiplying

Hello and thanks for reading. I think... I got some virus by calling back a number and then I think suddenly it hang up and there was this voicemail message. I clicked and called it but looking it up it turns out to be a malware webpage, browsers stopped me from accessing it fortunately.
https: //toestellenhulp.ziggo.nl/microsoft/lumia-532/voicemail/handmatig-instellen/
My phone kept giving this voicemail message that didn't go away. I ignored it for a month by just stop the phone process and carry on. Yesterday I logged into my phone account and saw weird costs so I got really worried, turns out today that was something normal. (Thank God!) But I was still left with this virus.
I tried scanning it but it could not be deleted, I tried deleting my SD card and phone memory. In the end I succeeded taking the SD card out and got the rest formatted but there was one folder µIKUTURE but I think it just abused something from Miku apps, not sure. When I renamed it and tried to delete it. It multiplied it about 247 times in a folder seemingly without files.
I factory reset 3 times, tried to root it and then delete it, also from pc, put in stock rom several times, tried Cyanogenmods but got error 7. Tried going back to stock completely and redid CM and still error 7, tried 12 and 13. I've been going for 20 hours straight now and I'm beat... I don't know what to do anymore, please help.
Thnx

Thank you for helping, I did this the first time. Until I fix this I will leave my simcard out and I left my SD out the first time I did a hard reset. Before I took everything out some virusscanner said something about DSMLawmo that it could not be removed.
