hello, i have a 4gb microsd with my android phone
suddenly one day it stopped allowing me write or delete files from sd card, only read operations are done
normal check with windows failed
i tried to format with gparted and diskpart everything failed,
it doesnt have a lock, tried from usb card reader also
what should i do know??
(did a lot of googling tried many formatters none worked)
Try these:
1. Unmount SD card in your device, and mount it again.
2. Connect it to a PC using a card reader, and run CHKDSK.
3. Format the SD Card in a digital camera or a Nokia phone.

Did you try other sd card in this phone? My old Android phone can't read the card, and later I found it's the phone's problem.

Was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I can possibly do??
The card came as EXFAT, but most roms only support FAT32.
I formatted the card to FAT32 which was fine .. but after copying a few files the card now refuses to write or delete files. I can still open and view media that's on it but that's about it. I can't even re-format it, it will say the disk can not be formated or write error. The card isn't corrupt though, I copied around 30gbs of video on it when it was in EXFAT partition before. J
I'm using an SD adaptor into my card reader, but yes I have ensured the lock switch is off.
edit - oh also, when you place the card into the phone it'll say that the card is damaged/blank.
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,

Make sure you format it in the phone
Every time I place the card in, it will say the card is damaged or blank
Then it tries to format it but then goes through the same loop of saying it's damaged/blank

i had experienced the same problem i tried my best using several fomat tools. think almost all the tools in the world....failed and bought a new one.....think its better go for new card
Did you try to format it on Linux? I've experienced some problems with SD cards formated on Windows (assuming that you run Windows )

pretty much - there's nothing you can do. I decided to email Sandisk and here's their response:
I understand that the error that appear after format is “write protected”. First we would like to apologize for the inconvenience.
I understand that you are getting write protection error while accessing the flash drive. The flash drive has detected a potential fault and become “write protected” to prevent data loss. There is no method to fix this. You will need to back-up your data and replace the flash drive.
So you have to RMA it. I'm abit confused because others on XDA have successfully covnerted their 64gb cards to FAT32 without any issues.
Could it be a faulty batch of sd cards?.

Hi,
Is the sd card loose in it's casing?
What have your tried?
Tried SD in a different Phone?
Checked the SD for errors?
Is the SD loose in the carrier?
Formatted the SD (fat 32 and primary partioion) from a PC?
Tried a different SD in your phone?
It does help if you do the basics and add what you've done in the OP

No, I'm never inserting my SD card to any other devices
Previously i checked it for errors,and got cleaned
After I purchased it,i haven't formatted....
I found this "un-expectally unmount error" from this last week...
I had similar issues with my sensation my sd would unmount unexpectedly it would vary from rom to rom. I found that if re flashed my current rom without a wipe it would correct the problem. It worked in my case hope it helps
Sent from my G-Note SGH-I717 using xda premium
I would try the reflashing rom idea above as its easy.
If that doesnt work transfer all the sd card data to your computer then format the card. See if that fixes.

After deleting one photo from my phone's 32 gb samsung class 10 micro sd card, it suddenly unmounted, and i was not able to mount it again. Also i was not able to mount it to my netbook(win xp), or my workspace computer(linux mint) with micro sd card adapter.
Is there any way to mount it, to repair it, or at least to save the pictures from it?
Looks like the Card got corrupted or damaged. If at least your PC detects the card, you could have use recovery software.
Try if any card reader can detect ur sdcard to pc,, and if detect u can try to format it,,

Yes, i tried it, but it not works, recovery also can't mount the microsd card
I am still looking for solutions to recover my data from the card but found nothing.
Looks like your card is corrupted. If you can't get your PC/Lappy to recognize it then you're out of options methinks.
BUT, make absolutely sure that there are no lock switches on the adapter or the SD card which are actually preventing access to the card.

So I understand you want you files and the card to work on the phone?
The phone supports FAT32 file system, if i'm not mistaken so you should format it to that.
Does a pc read the files on the card? Cause if so, then first copy them to you pc and after formatting back on the card.

Does the pc see the card and tell you it needs to be formatted or doesn't it even show on your pc?
If it doesn't even show up, you could be talking about a broken reader of your computer or a broken card.
If it shows up but you can''t acces, than it might be recoverable.

If your laptop's card reader is ok then check it form the device manager. Do you remember about setting any password to your MMC??
I've seen most of the PC doesn't show a password protected MMC.

Try testdisk (cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk), maybe it can recover your partition table.
Good Luck!
hi yesterday I unexpectedly remove sd card (samsung) without unmounting from htc u11 now I can not write to it. can not format the sd card from phone as well from pc. recently I updated my htc u11 to oreo also. I dont know is it because of unexpectedly remove of sd card or oreo update because I dont remember that after oreo update I use(means download something) my sd card. If anyone have the solution thanx in advance.
How old was sd card? Could be just bad luck, and card died, happen to me. And what pc - win version you tried formated? It should let you do it whitout any problems.
If the external sd card was being written to at the time it was disconnected then it will be broken. If it wasn't then try to recover it using a pc.
The oreo update won't have changed anything with the external sd card so you can rule that out.
Sometimes, when you pull out the memory card unexpectedly (also the pen drives or even memory sticks on pc) you can lock the card. It denies to write on it. This happens due to the chip controller of the memory card. The only solution is to repair it on PC with special software tools from manufacturer or from russian/chinese/vietnamese forums which can reset that lock 'flag'. That sw contains drivers to raw access the chip controller.

Hi,
Try to format your SD Card using this tool "MiniTool Partition" on Windows.

Windows doesn't do the right job to format SD Cards.

Try to search something like that: 'mass production utility', usually under this name you can find utilities to access the chips. It is time consuming to find what chip/controller your card use and find an utility which can access that chip since samsung do not publish such a tool...
You can try ChipGenius or another sw to find details, you may digg in sites like 'http://www.flashdrive-repair.com' to find a way of repair.
