There is no physical switch. I've tried many application software in windows and linux but yet still not working. I think the last time I can modify the mircro sd card content is where I make deletion and copying on the phone mode. After I formatted the phone to, the micro sd card is no longer content-editable. I've tried format but not working. Before I format the phone, its OS is lolipop and I upgraded to nougat. Lost the ability to copy file after upgrading. Downgrading back still not working

What phone are you using, what's the model?
Were you rooted on Lollipop?
If so did you reroot after upgrading to Nougat?
Are you on a custom ROM or have a custom recovery?
What's the file system currently on the MicroSD card?
What file manager application are you using that is not allowing you to copy/edit files on the Micro SD card?
Are sure nothing can write to the Micro SD card, have you tried loading a Terminal app to get things command line, or another file manager application?
Last thing I can think of, is can you take the Micro SD card out and put it into a computer and see if it will format?
Could be randomly the SD card just died when you were upgrading? Usually when my cards go, it's around when I'm doing an OS load... For whatever reason. I've killed 3 Micro SD cards in the last 7 years.

I use samsung galaxy y s5360. I did rooted my device by upgrading to lolipop. I delete all partition when I downgrading back to lolipop from nougat. I think the system is in the phone itself. Any file manager I try they say success but after I double checked the files gone, I'm on custom ROM. I have taken the micro sd out and format it in windows env or linux env with higher permission. If the microsd card when upgrading then there's nothing I can do?

Do you have a custom recovery like TWRP? Are you able to boot into the custom recovery and use the file manager in there to see if it can read and write. That's outside of the OS and if it can write to the Micro SD then that means the phone is good hardware wise. If not, try formating inside of the recovery then try file manager. Again o ly if you have a custom recovery will this work.
If you're able to write to the Micro SD card in recovery, then maybe the issue is with the custom ROM? Have you tried going back to the factory firmware and see if the SD card works? That's probably where I would go to start first, since downgrading you're still having problems.
If you've pulled it out and put it in a computer, you can format and write files to it... That's a good sign that it can be written to, at least it means the Micro SD card is function.

Sorry I've tried tested on Clockworkmode recovery v5.0.2.8 but still not working. It return success but still have the previous content. I'm not sure whether this means the micro sd card is encrypted . I've tested in on PC but not work at all.

My apologies I thought it was successful on the PC.
If you try it in a computer and you can not do anything to the cars, then more than likely there is something wrong with the card. At this point I would try another Micro SD.
If it was encrypted you would not be able to see any files on it in recovery. Plus if you are in your recovery (Clockworkmode) and not able to format/partition the Micro SD in there, problems.
Because with the encryption the phones do, you can still delete partitions and repartition and format the Micro SD. Would lose all of your files of course, but would make the card usable again. Trust me I've done that a few times, encrypted then the phone would crash... And the card was locked until repartitioned and formated.

Sounds like it from everything you tried. Wish I had better news. But I have found when you can not repartition the card, especially on a PC, it's done for. Whatever the reason. That's why I I ly deal with Samsung or Kingston branded cards. Those are the ones I've had the longest and haven't failed, being used on multiple devices over the years.

Title says it all. I unmounted as I should have before turning off USB storage, but when I unplugged the USB cable, it said I have a damaged SD card and that I may need to format it. I hit the OK to format and nothing happened. I tried rebooting and nothing happens. I'm rooted with CM 3.9.7 mod, A2SD, etc. I've tried flashing the recovery, etc, but it can't mount the SD card and so fails. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

do you have a card reader for your computer?
No card reader for my computer.
do you have another phone or device that you can put your sd card in and connect to your computer
yeah, a Dash.
I've run into this problem before. Rebooting the phone. without selecting the format usually fixes it. I think it just happens when the SD card fails to unmount properly.
If you have an update.zip on the SD Card..try applying it through the recovery menu. If it says it fails to mount the SD Card over and over, then your SD Card probably is actually damaged.

Is there any way to fix the card? Like I said, I've got an HTC Dash running WM6 that I can put the card into and connect to the computer. Is there anything to be done?
try to format it from the dash through computer, but im not familiar with dashes
I think I may have figured it out a bit.
The Dash wouldn't recognize the 8GB SDHC, but I fortunately still had the original 1GB, which it did recognize. I was able to transfer the CM 3.9.7 onto it and boot in recovery mode and reload the update.zip file. I'm currently booting up and once that's done, I'll do what is necessary to put my 8GB card in, format it and then try to make everything work again. Suggestions?
you want to use the 3.97? that rom is still experimental. maybe you should use the 3.6.8.1 rom

I usually keep a back up of everything just in case.
Also, for your usb card reader problems...

My plan succeeded! I'm now waiting for the Market to let me download my apps again. It let me download a couple, but stopped for some reason. It's happened before, so I'm not too worried. If I should be, let me know. Thanks.
ok sounds good
For some reason, Google Talk was disabled. I enabled it and voila, everything's all good!
Hello everyone,
I am new to the hero and just rooted my phone using kitchen. I wanted to get an 8GB card and wanted to know what the process was. I didn't want to mess anything up so how do I change micro sd cards. I did a search but was unable to find the answer.
Are you using apps 2 sd?
If yes there is a guide
If no, then copy your data to your pc.. unmount the card(or turn the phone off) .. insert new card, format... then copy stuff back.
cool, never used apps 2 sd. Thanks! Will wait to get a new rom after.
Just remember its a mounted filesystem, if you just took it out that would be like unhooking your computer's hard drive. Probably going corrupt some data.
So just make sure the phone is off before switching cards?
i just made that mistake last night, burnt up an 8gb card, make sure phone is off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You don't need to turn the phone off. Right in SD Card and Storage Settings, there's a button to unmount the SD card. Hit that button, eject the card, then put the new one in and copy all the data back on via USB.

You shouldn't have been able to burn a card doing that. Maybe confuse the filesystem on it. If worse comes to worst, reformat the sdcard.
What items on the SD card are necessary? I did the root and there are two recovery images on there. I haven't done anything else besides rooting the phone.
Sorry dumb question, rooting doesn't change when changing cards right?
Since there is an SDcard discussion. Every time I play music the songs glitch at the beginning of the track and sometimes mid song..but always at the start UNLESS the phone is awake, then it plays fine.
Could it be the class of the card or that the phone wakes up after the end of every track and glitches? I still have the stock 2 gig card and was looking to get a higher class / more capacity to swap if that is the case. if not I'll just stick to my ipod shuffle.. bleh.

Nothing on the SD card is strictly necessary. Rooting and applying ROMs does not affect the SD card.

Necessary? Nothing. The phone should run without the sdcard even installed. Some applications aren't going to like it not being there, like the camera.
New card partition question

No and no.
You only need to partition the card if you want it partitioned and partitioning it has zero to do with rooting or with applying a new ROM.

Hi I would seriously appreciate any help! I am at a lost after hours of reading.
I had started off with autonooter, and now looking to install CM7. I had been told that I need to have the monster rootingpack. So I'm trying to go from autonooter to CM7.
I had tried to write monster clockwork... and did the 8gb clockwork, says its done but nothing shows up on my sd card. I then proceeded to format my sd card and still no luck.
I then tried to go into Rom manager and reboot into recovery but now there is an error! I'm so frustrated, I don't know what I am suppose to do.
Please let me know if you can offer help! Thanks in advanced.
Difficult to say without more - I assume you are using WinImage (run as adminstrator) to "Restore Virtual Hard Disk on physical drive"? If done correctly, there should only be four files on the drive (at which point, you need to drag and drop the zipped ROM to the drive.
Dumb question - is the flash card an 8 GB flash card?

I yeah I used winimage as adminstrator and put the img file on and chose the drive the 8g sd card was on, click write, bar went up and it said done. looked at my sd card and there is absolutely ZERO files on it....
Appreciate asking, any thoughts?
Are you using a card slot that came with your computer? If so go get a true card reader, that may be the issue.

This is an interesting idea... is this usually an issue? I was putting my microsd card in a SD converter card and putting into a built in SDcard reader in my lenovo.

My Note is absolutely stock, never been rooted, but had an over the air update to LQ2. I’m using a Lexar Class 10 32Mb sd card.
Since the update I have found that uninstalling an app takes several minutes to complete, although installing them is fine. Also, in Settings > Storage I get Calculating… but it doesn’t give the result. However, without the sd card all is normal, including an almost instant uninstall. I’ve tried a different sd card with the same result.
I’ve copied all my USB Storage files to the PC and would like to reformat it and copy them back, but am worried that a reformat might be affected by the Emmc bug.
Or if anyone can come up with another solution……..

You are wanting for format your Class 10 32Gb EXTERNAL SD Card?
If so then you can just connect to Windows with a USB Drive reader or connect via the SD slot in your PC and perform a format of the card.. It does not involve using the phone..
No, it's the 11.07Gb internal partion that I was going to format, as I think it might be corrupted. But before doing so I want to be sure that there's no possibility of it being affected by the Emmc bug.

Ok in this case my suggested steps would be as usual;
- Backup your data
- Flash GB ROM via PC Odin
- Do your Wipes / Formats
- Update to / Reflash the Stock ICS you're using now
- Copy your data back over..
However, be careful with copying app data etc as this may also be corrupted
Hello,
I'm running Cm 12 (based on this xda thread. I did my original install off of this RootJunky tutorial.
I'm not getting access to the external sd card. I have wiped and re-flashed about 6 times in TWRP, each time pulling my flash files off of the external sd card, I have tested the card in a pc, works fine. But it's not showing when I run the tablet or when I connect the tablet to my laptop with a usb cable.
Any ideas or suggestions on how I can fix this?
Thank in advance for any help!

I just finally solved it, and I hope this thread can help some other people -- thanks for the response, by the way! I have been reading some of your other posts this week, and you are the man!
So, what I ended up doing was backing up my sd card on a pc, then reformatting it. It still didn't work. But CM 12 was giving me a message every time I took the sd card out of the slot, telling to insert a card. I was exploring permission in SuperSu and CM 12, and eventually I ended up activating the "Delete Sd Card" option under storage. I didn't think it was available to me, because it was grayed out and didn't show my card anywhere. It was. I deleted it, and it must have reformatted it with a compatible file system. It works. It's letting move apps to sd card, sd card shows up in file managers, other apps and when I connect to pc.
Now, the only issue I really want to resolve is getting Google Play Games to work.
