Hi.. i've a problem with my sd card from 1 month... this is the error, when i try to format with the computer, the sd card is read only. i tried a lot of programs... i've CM 13.. thanks for your time !!
The SD card is defective, either throw it away and get another one, or contact the manufacturer/seller... most brand name SD cards are guaranteed for life.
get gparted and put it on a stick and boot it and then plug in the offending stick and re-write the MBR on it and create a fat32 partition on it.
Yea, I've had this problem. The SD card is dead and the only way out is to buy a new one. There are many different ways to try and fix it, but they more than likely won't work.

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?.
Well, I have a class 6 16 gb samsung micro sd card using with lg p500. Two weeks ago after installing some rom(probably icysnap) after booting it can't recognize the sd card but detects it in cwm. So I know my sd card is alright. so I flashed another rom(rasheed's jb) but still it can't recognize the sd card although detected in cwm just like previous times. After then I tried a lot like formatting it,partitioning it by both CWM & Minitool from FAT32 to FAT-EXT123..every format. But nope..nothing happened. And then next morning it is recognized again. So it takes a few hours to be detected. What the heck is going on? Any solution? Can't I have flexibility to reboot my phone:crying:?
And don't I have any right to use link2sd and download more apps than it fits in internal memory:crying:!
maybe your phone doesn't recognize sd card because of some permisions, try fix permisions from cwm
Format it again in PC.. dont use Quick format method. Size allocation DEFAULT. Dont patition it this time. Try different kernels.
Still if you face the problem.. get another MicroSD card.. buy transcend.

another thing, on playstore is an app named PIMPMYROM, I used it to zipalign and move data to sd but I do not recommend in your case to move data to SD, you can try it , it is free, but beware some things may brick your phone
another thing is to check SD slot with a multimeter to see if all pins have same voltage/amps
and as rr0yy says, try with another SD card, maybe this one isn't too good and is too lazy and moves with the speed of a rabid snail

Well..my $15 Micromax phone instantly detects teh card. I think there is no problem with the card but the reader in the phone. And I tried everything like fixing permission in cwm.
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.

i cant format it even in gparted by connecting using a card reader
Hi Guys, I did a stupid thing last night and unplugged my SD card from the computer whilst wiping data on the card as it took ages to progress and I thought the application hung up. The sd card does appear mounted on the computer with the adapter but cannot access it. I used the following program to wipe data: easeus partition master. I wiped data(Tried at least) because I had issues with mounting the sd card on my nexus 5 with usb otg using stickmount. Edit: I've already formatted the sd card to fat32 days ago.

You cant do any of that on a non USB mass storage . You probably messed the driver and need to reinstall it again and maybe reflash cache.img to fix storage if the phone is softbricked.
Don't use any 3rd party desktop software to handle the storage in the nexus 5. direct access via explorer is all you need and cmd for adb and fastboot.
Hello,
did you try to reactivate the sd card with eg. gparted under Linux ? This tool is my first choice when it comes to editing partition information.
You don´t need to have a linux distribution installed, simply grab yourself a gparted live cd and you´re good to go :good:

Yes, Agree. Easeus is good but its only as good as windows so if you're having trouble mounting and formatting the sdcard in Windows, try gparted.
If that doesn't work, you could have screwed the sdcard. Luckily they're really cheap nowadays

I think you are talking about external sd card. There are many softwares for windows for formatting them.

£33 for an sd card isn't really cheap for me. But if it comes to that, I wouldn't mind buying another.

The one you lose may have cost that, but you can buy them cheaper now.
That said, i doubt it will come to that.

First, check the card reader, make sure the lock is off (you can find it in the left side of the card reader)
Then, check the gold bar in the back side and make sure there is no dust
If still persist, try to enter and re-enter the card reader to your sd card slot in computer.
If it really really still persist, then you should buy the new one :fingers-crossed:
Hope it helped!

It really doesn't matter if you unmount it first, that shouldn't break the SD Card (personal experience), It's most likely your SD Card is locked whilst locked it's probably also corrupted, Make sure you haven't got the lock on the SD Card reader (The little nob on the side should be alligned with the word 'Lock' this means Lock is off)
