the external tf card was write-protected

after flashing JP2, the TF card is write-protected via PC, any idea??

seems so many ppl having this problem, any fix for it or do we need to wait till JP3 to 'release' our sd card?

Same with mine, waiting for a fix...

Ok.... For a moment I thought the problem was solved. Please change the title in "external card is write-protected...

Have you guys tried to format the card inside the phone? unmount it then format (don't forget to do backup!)
Seems to work fine for me

we can write stuff into the card in our phone, but not by connecting to the PC then choose Mass Storage / Kies to copy file over there

I can write things by taking the card out of my phone and put it in pc and copy things over but when i connect my phone to pc i can't transfer anything across.

There's a workaround. Not a good one, but at least it works. You can get full r/w access to the external sd card from within Kies, with the horrible Kies file-explorer.

Nope, the external card is still r/o when seen through USB storage in windows
tried changing the permissions in root explorer as well, no joy.

There is a easy way how to solve this. Plug in the cable, select Kies (on the phone), u dont have to run kies on your PC, after the Kies is running on your phone, on your pc there should be mobile phone connected, go there and there are both cards(in, ext) and u can use them.

i also have the same problem with the sd card :/

Phone can't detect SD card

Hi,
My phone is not able to detect my SD card, All i did was copy a file from a friends laptop using HTC Desire HD data cable... Now my phone wont detect the SD card... Internal memory is detected normally... The SD card is detected normally on my friends Phone, however its not working on mine...
I though it was a software issue, so I reflashed stock JVQ and then Darky's ROM however it still wont show... Any other SD card is detected normally on my Phone, however mine wont get detected no matter what i do...
Any ideas what happened... I only copied a video file... I've even deleted the file and tried however it still doesn't work...
Pls Help!!!

have you checked to see if the card is mounted?

Press thanks if this helps

Does it read in a PC?
If so copy contents off onto PC, reformat SD card as FAT32, then copy contents back over.

Try to format the card on your PC.

I've got the card formatted on my friends phone and then gave it an shot... however it still didn't work... Not sure what else can be done... any other card works fine...

What company and class is your sd card?

same problem.

I've had the same problem. It seems to occur when you disconnect the USB cable from you're phone while files are being transferred. Though I've also had this problem multiple times when the USB cable wasn't even connected to my phone.
You can try to use a microSD-to-usb-converter to backup the files and format it with 'SD Formatter 3.0' from sdcard.org (I'm not permitted to post links yet). Then try to format the microSD again with you're phone and it should work. I recommend you don't put any backupped files back on your microSD since they could have corrupted the microSDcard's filesystem.

mayb u got a corrupt sd card?

open file explorer in the phone and look if there is something on the card. if you see all your folders and files, try to reboot your phone or install this from the maket.
if you don't see the files on your sd card, try to format the card from the settings in phone, not with pc
hope this will help you

crap...my sd card was also damaged ..it says sd card is damaged please format it...my heart broke ..4gb worth of pics , songs , videos GONE

there might be 2 solutions that I know:
1) Sdcard or the files may be corrupted. - Try to format the sdcard and put just one picture(a picture that you can view without any problems on pc) and see if you can view it.
2)nomedia - make sure there isn't any ".nomedia" file in the root of sd card or check in the folders where your music is store.
HOPE THAT HELPS

You can try formatting your SD card from your computer, maybe it helps.

Use the pc. There 2 types of format. FAT AND ntfs. Have you tried both? Also try quick and the regular one.

Ok...after ALOT of experimenting i finally pin pointed the prob....i used this app called Rescan Media Root...they say that every boot is slow because yr phone is scanning all the media files (Media Scan)...if you disable it, it'll speed up boot time ! But what happens in my case is it disabled the scanning, forever...so it never bothered to scan the sd card for my media files :S...after i reenabled it, it worked !

SD Card Problem!

Hi, Im on Rocket rom v23. And yesterday my phone suddenly didnt recognize my sd card. If i go to setting than Storage, its unavailable..does anyone know what to do?

Remive sd card n try scan on pc with antivirus. If pc recognize drive letter but not content, format it.

Just wondering if you've recently installed any apps?
I've had this problem occur where the Android file structure on the card became corrupt, I'm fairly sure it's related to PowerAmp, but it could also be related to Norton security scan on boot.
Each time, when I put the card in PC, file structure is restored, then Android will recognise it again, as Dr K said.

does the pc recognize it? if so, you can simply save all your stuff on the pc and format as fat32..

[Q] sd card problem again !!!!

i had a problem with my sd card before, then, the memory was dissapearing. I got a new sd card. it was ok for a dew weeks, but now, i cant download anything or even move any file from my pc using usb, even when there is some memory left ! when i move a song into sd card, it stays there until I unplug usb, then it just disappars. Sometimes i cant listen to songs, see pictures or use some apps in sd card because they disappears, but most of the time it fixes after reboot.
any soliutions for this kind of problem ?

I dony really know about that. It may be rom issue. Some said that u must have some free space on sd card, u cant fully fill your sd card.

Hi xdo,
Can you give us info what rom and kernel you use?
In my assumption maybe your card is damage.
Please clarify some things for better assistance

rom I'm using is Froyobread v023b, but i used it about 4 month without any problems, kernel I'm using is stock one, I never unlocked bootloader. I dont think that the sd cart is demaged because it is almost like new. Today, remounted the card, rebooted my phone and i was able to download some pictures to my phone, but after a few mins i wasn't able to do anything again.

Did you formated it ?
Sent from my X8 running nAa and D_d piece of art called MiniCM9.

yes, i formated it before using. then, i moved everything from my last sd to the new one

try wipe it with partition wizard if it help...

Virus maybe?
You say you copied all your files from the old to the new. maybe the old had a particularly vicious virus and you copied it to your new card?

if there is a virus, what should I do?
