As above after every boot it defaults to r/o so I can't download anything until I change it to r/w?
Why is this?

Have you applied any vrthemes?
I had this happen to me after applying some vrthemes that had some issues and caused corrupted files on my external sd card.
If you have tried to apply a vrtheme that failed you can see if you have one or two vrtheme folders on the sd card one will be backup and if they can not be deleted then you will need to format the sd card to get it back to normal.
Just copy what you can from the sd card to a computer, format the card and then copy the files back to the sd card. That will make it back to normal

Ok I've formatted the card. Is it normal for the internal sd card to be r/o?

No it's not. You should be able to write to the internal sd wihout problems. I copy and download files to it all the time

Well I don't know then. I suppose I'll have to do a factory reset

If that doesn't help either I'd recommend installing a different rom

Question about SD card

For some reason my sd card just started saying I have errors with it and it might need to be formatted. If I copy everything from the sd to the computer, format the card, then copy it all back, will it mess up any settings I have? It is able to read the card in recovery.

Try removing and re-inserting the sd card. If it fails, try it while phone is off

[Q] SD card not writable on phone?

Hi,
Initially when i bought my GT-I9305, the microSD card was writable with all apps (e.g. file managers, titanium backup) on the phone. However, sometime in the last few days the card has become read-only on the phone.
When I use an SD card adapter and put it into my laptop though, it works fine and I can move files around.
Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this or how to fix it?
Thanks!
Have you tried to install any vrthemes on the phone that is using the sd card to apply the theme, so you may have two folders one vrtheme and the other vrtheme-backup which one or both wont be able to be deleted.
I had the same problem caused by vrthemes being applied mainly in an aroma setup if the theme failed to install correctly or not enough free space to apply it seemed to cause this(for me anyway)
Only thing I could do was to copy all files I wanted to the computer then format the sd card then copy everything back. This is a pain with 32gb of data on the card

Thanks! That worked for me, I also had the vrtheme and vrtheme-backup folders on my card. I tried deleting them by themselves from my computer but it did nothing. Formatting it worked though

If you have anything on the SD card, you can transfer the contents to a PC and reformat the card using:
System Settings > Storage > Erase SD card
You can copy-back whatever you need from the PC.
That should set everything back to where it needs to be.

As your SD Card wont mount in your Phone and your PC I think its a problem of your SD Card and you will have to format it anyway After formatting try to recover the deleted files using a recovery software like this. I am not 100% sure of success. But I dont think you have any other choice. Good Luck and hope it helps.
