SD card repeatedly becomes read only - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have just spent a while reading up on SD cards turning RO, but haven't really come to any conclusion.
In a nutshell:
I have a Wileyfox Spark X, Android version 7.0, with a Kingston Canvas Select 32GB microSDHC Class 10, which is formatted in such a way that it is part device storage rather than a separate storage area (can't remember what they call that, but hopefully you know what I mean).
My original SD card failed a few months ago, and was replaced.
Approximately two weeks ago the new SD card became read only. The only way I could "fix it" was to reformat it and then reinstall the apps that were on it, and all my data.
Yesterday it became read only again. Obviously I can reformat it, and then copy all my data back and reinstall the apps again, but it is time consuming and I'm really pushed for time at the moment without all that.
I am going to contact Wileyfox tomorrow, but they will just say that I need to reset the phone, which is even more time consuming.
Before I do anything I'd appreciate your expert advice. Is it most likely the phone causing this, or are Kingston SD cards no good?
Thanks in advance.

SD Card Issue

I recently bought a 16g class 4 microsd card and I'm experiencing some issues.. It seems that whenever I copy something over, that's the last thing I can copy.. Say I copy everything I backed up on my sd card that I want on the new one, then try to copy over music onto it, windows will show its copied over, but when I put it into the phone it's as if nothing was copied other than the first batch.. I know I'm doing a very poor job explaining this, but it's a very strange issue I'm having. I have done a full fat32 format, quick format, format from the phone, and a few combinations of each. Any help would be very appreciated.
i kinda have almost the same problems with you, and after another trial and error effort can come into some conclusion that the problems is with micro sdcard quality.. (mine was cheap not well-know brand memory).
so, i never bought that cheap memory again and swap it with another known brand.. an voila! the problems is gone
sorry if that's not very helpful bro, just sharing my own experience.

[Q] Can't format micro SD card (write protected, parsing error)

I've tried pretty much everything so far. Suddenly, it doesn't allow any more writes. Any songs and files currently present work with no issues. Anything downloaded/pushed through adb is either corrupted (songs are out of sync, music is all fuzzy) or just won't open altogether (parsing error).
Deleting any file works, until the card is reset. After that, all the deleted files are restored. Any pushed files will also be deleted after a remount.
I'm trying chkdsk right now but I can't format it in any possible way, and the write protected switch on the SD card adapter is OFF.
SD card is sandisk ultra, class 10.
Any ideas what else to try? To format I've tried windows, guiformat and SDformatter.
SD card is 64GB, FAT32 and 32KB allocation size.
Also, anything copied from the SD card to windows works just fine.
In fact, the last recorded files are some photos, dated 13/4 (13 of april). I have no idea why it has suddenly stopped the write cycles.
If formatting through phone, it'll 'format it successfully', but instantly after it'll show that the same space is used as before, so no rewrite actually happened.
It's driving me insane now.

I'm not sure what do you mean, for I have searched high and low and tested a lot of the 'solutions'.
Could you please point me to another solution before I decide the card is trashed altogether?

OK, @JJE, your post doesn't help at all. It would make a lot more sense if you took a few extra seconds to specify WHICH POST (like add the link) so we can get to the solution you're talking about.
@Choristav: I had the exact same problem, with the exact same MicroSD card, went through the same motions of attempted fixes and frustration. Ultimately, I had to just return the card under warranty (and that too, physically go to the location so I could see them destroy the card since it contained private data that just wouldn't go away!). I decided to exchange for 2 x 32GB cards instead for use on cameras/handicams.
I had another new MicroSD card of the same make which I used successfully thereafter for about 6 months, but the same problem has resurfaced! That just leads me to think that these Sandisk Ultra Class 10 Micro SDXC cards have a problem, at least while using on smartphones.
So in short, I hate to say this, but I think the card has gone defective so your solution may lie in just availing the warranty for it. Before I return my second card though, I will spend some time looking around, over the next couple of days, to see if I find a simpler solution (like if there's some way to successfully "unlock" and format the card) and if I find it, I will post the link to the solution. Cheers!
I had the same problem with my SanDisk card.. After being so frustrated, I bought a new sd card, this time from Samsung and it's working fine. Btw the SanDisk support is crap: they asked me if I know how to insert the card in my pc or how to open it and I was like.... Shut up ?
Crappy model... needs to be recalled!

Yes, SanDisk support was asking me dumb questions too and sending me through some scripted routines, but my response cut them short and they approved the RMA... I said, "I've already tried all the suggested solutions, this is a well-known problem with this particular model, you should look up forums on the internet to make yourselves aware. aaand BTW, you guys may want to be smart and either recall this product, or hand out an advisory that this model shouldn't be used on smartphones, cuz given the large number of folks who have lost data and time with this product, you may be exposing yourselves to a class action lawsuit. Just sayin'..."
RMA approved. I insisted on replacement with 2 x 32GB cards.

[Q] Motorola Photon with CM10 not recognizing SD card for storage

I've had this problem for about a year. I've finally gotten to the point that I am tempted every 5 minutes to throw my phone into oncoming traffic. Have no idea how I've lived with it for this long. It is rooted and I have Th3Bills CM10 on it. Haven't updated ROM for almost a year because I have lost interest in anything to do with it because it is basically nonfunctional. Also in fear of getting the dreaded "low storage space". I don't know if I did something wrong when I did all of that, which is a huge possibility. But basically, I bought a 32gb SD card because I started getting the low storage space notifications all the time on my 16gb one, and at first I thought I really did fill it. So I went up in size. After that I kept getting it with the 32gb and I knew there was no way possible that it was full. My phone shows 2 internal storage's. One is 3gb which I think should be the part of the internal that's allotted to apps?, and the other is my SD card at 32gb with 10gb available. The only thing that should be on it is music that I manually added through the computer. And the storage that shows as SD card is the internal storage. So it's all messed up. Can anyone tell me how to fix it and get my phone to register my SD card as an SD card and how to make it useable? I'm going to need thorough step by step instructions, too. haha. That's the only way I know how to do any of this kind of stuff. TIA =]

VS985 35B Sd Card Help

New to the forum, I did a search but came up empty, I have a rooted LG G# 35B rooted stock rom. it has a 128gb samsung sd card I had it for at least 6 months, no issues, last week it started unmounting my SD card by itself and unless I restart the phone it wont mount again, I did a factory reset and formated the card 3 times then mounted the card on the phone again and same issue, it will not go away also starts crating and deleting .txt files one called SNP_LOG .txt because of the modified nature of the phone I cannot do the OTA I have the 5.1.1 lollipop, also I have put on an 8G SD card and a 32GB same issue.
Try downgrading via the 10B TOT to try to verify if the problem is software or hardware. By your description I'm wondering of software but that's just a guess.

My wife's stock phone had this issue on 48A. I downgraded it to 10B and then took OTA's back up to 35B. It still had the issue. Went back to 10B and still had the issue. IIRC there is a post about this issue on the main LG G3 forum in case you are interested.
I have the insurance on my devices so 3 replacement devices later she got a phone that works again. Good luck!
I'm on 46A and had a similar issue with a Samsung 64 GB card I have been using for about a year. Recently it started unmounting and remounting out of nowhere. Eventually, the phone claimed that it was corrupted. I opened up a file viewer and it seemed as though it had reformatted it. Since I backed it up at the start of all this, I put it in my computer to restore the data. However, all of the files that were on there before were still there and in-tact. I tried a 16 GB card I had sitting around to no avail. After doing some Googling, it seems that these symptoms are apparently a relatively common hardware issue with the G3 (which sucks, because this phone was still doing great after 2 years).
TL;DR - you may want to try different SD cards if you have any. That will help narrow down the issue and whether or not it's software or hardware. If I find any more info on the similar issue I'm having, I'll post it here.
Has anyone tried something like deoxit on the sd card when they start going bezerk?
I wonder if the card or the slot contacts get dirty or microscopic corrosion.
I use deoxit on alot of contacts and it works well.

still cannot get it to work, also I keep getting this messages for creating an snp_log.txt and then deleting the file I search for it and erase it and it keeps doing it, also a DelMe file 1-21 keeps pooping up
running lg g3 35b-xdeb sdcard formated exfat, I had this issue happening 6 months ago with a 64gb sandisk card till the card become "unwriteable" to any device or pc. I can no longer write to the card and it is readable but pretty much useless. I replaced with a 128gb sandisk card and all went well. Problem is starting again. everytime I reboot the phone and use a passcode to log in, it unmounts and mounts once. I removed xposed and many other apps still to no avail. I did read somewhere that the card needs a "label" on the volume for lollipop. .I did noticed my card was unlabled. I placed a label on my sdcard but it still is happening. I have also read that backing up the card and doing a complete "non quick" format my help out. doing a backup on my card now. let ya know the results. I did place another 128gb card in my phone and the problem still existed. I tried formatting another card to ext4 but it still was happening. I do feel my issue is software related.
incase your unsure if this is happening to you all you need to do is launch the camera app and it will ask you to "save photos to sdcard" whenever it unmounts the sdcard.
Does anyone know any log files i can examine? since my phone can be rebooted and sit for hours and then when I log in with a passcode it unmounts perhaps I can see which app if it is an app that may be doing this. I am on lollipop but I did run the sdcard fix for kit kat on it. maybe a script still exists. I really like this phone and would love to sovle this. I'm wondering if it is an issue with the internal memory that is causing an unmounting and remounting of volumes. would love to solve this.
update:
So I tried backup the sdcard to a hardrive using windows 10. kept failing on files. I decided to try backing up using a linux-ubuntu dist. when it would fail on the files it would actually unmount the whole drive. can't remember the error exactly something to do with no enpoint. I started select directories one by one to copy. I came to an assumuption. the only directories with corrupt files were files that I copied from the internal memory to the sdcard. my tool of choice used to be using es-file explorer. I hate making blind assumptions especially if i'm wrong but that was definitely a common denominator.
So I kept getting "sdcard unmounted" and "sdcard mounted" after reboot and login. I decided to do a full wipe but not before doing a backup of my rom. (just for testing purposes and data backup) I tried nandroiding to the internal memory which had 18gig left and it kept failing saying not enough space. so I backed up to external_sd which worked fine. I then decided to do a format of internal memory from twrp. restored backup and an earlier backup and still mounting issues. I then installed latest stable of cm12.1 and it... worked. don't know why but I decided to install xdabeb 3.1.1 6.0 mm stock image. wow does it work great. all my needs were met. xposed for 6.0 sdk23, tether, g3 toolbox mmbeta. awesome slim down stock. no sdcard mount issues with original card. I actually think the external_sd mount issue is actually a byproduct of an issue with the internal memory. and I believe cm12.1 install might have done some kind of fsck(filesytemcheck) my pipe dream? my incorrect guess? prolly. give it a try. cm12.1 installs so quickly it can't hurt.
WARNING!
DO NOT FORMAT INTERNAL MEMORY IF YOU HAVE NOT COPIED /TWRP BACKUP FOLDER FROM INTERNAL MEMORY TO A SDCARD OR USBDRIVE IF YOU NEED IT.
you were warned (sorry bout the caps....felt it was needed)
I'm seeing this problem as of yesterday, and it started after I took the 49A OTA, but I do not believe that was the issue. I'm wondering if it's more because the phone is almost 2 years old? I don't take the SIM nor the SD Card out at all. I did drop my phone last week. It was in a case and it landed flat on it's back, but I wonder if that still might have caused an issue and it just happen to coincidentally rear it's ugly head yesterday when I took the 49A OTA? 10B and all subsequent OTAs exhibit the same issue.
Going to take it into Cell Phone Repair today and get an estimate to see how much it will cost to get it fixed. Would like them to fix the USB port as well as it appears to be loose and I have numerous connect/disconnect issues with the PC so I have to be VERY careful when flashing so as to not bump or jostle the cable or phone while connected to the PC.
Cell Phone Repair gave me a quote to replace the SIM/SD Card slot of around $90 USD. They did say there was a 50% chance that the phone might not turn on if they do the work and that would be the end of it. I'm going to leave it alone.
Now, one thing I have noticed is, the card ejects usually when I launch an app. From what I can tell, it only appears to happen once for the app. Yesterday, the Facebook app seemed to do it. Today, my Twitter app did it.
I'm wondering if it's due to permissions? I wonder if the OTA changed something in regards to the access allowed to the external SD card and that's causing it to eject the card, and then remount it with the proper permissions? Usually, it seems to take a bit of time to remount, but it usually does, and then from that point, I don't see it happen for that app anymore.
Any ideas on this?
UPDATE: I just launched Twitter again and it didn't eject the card. I launched Facebook as well and same thing, no dismount. But I then launched Google+ app and it ejected the SD card. Still waiting to have it remount the SD card. Like I said, sometimes it's quick. Other times, it takes some time to remount the card. But this seems to be the issue and I'm wondering if that's normal? It happens with any SD card I put in.

My wife's SIM slot stopped working about a month ago. I got an RMA on LG's site to send it to them for a repair quote. They wanted about $75 to repair or $150 for a complete refurb. We didn't have it repaired and then sent it back. We're hoping to buy two new non-contract unlocked phones in the near future. Probably the HTC 10 Unlocked or the Google Pixel XL 128 GB, but that latter isn't too likely given the very high price combined with its unavailability.
My wife is unfortunately using her old flip phone for now.
Mainly wanted you to know LG's quote as I'd be more comfortable having LG repair it than someone else, I just didn't want to put more money into phones that I'll be looking to replace soon anyway, and with the Swappa selling price of the G3 being only $50 more than that repair cost.

Thanks. $150 is what Verizon quoted me for a replacement G3. My issue is, I do not want to buy another phone. I actually love this phone. I'm comfortable with it and it does what I need. And with one daughter in college and the other getting ready to start college next year, I need to save money and I do NOT want to be paying more money a month for a new phone. With this phone just having gotten off contract, by VZW bill dropped $20/month which is nice. That's $240 saved over the course of a year. Might seem like peanuts to some, but for me, every little bit helps.
I've flashed back to 10b again to test out the SD card because it's really annoying that right after the 49A OTA, it started happening. I just can't see that it was already bad but never showed, or that the 49A OTA caused the issue to show up. I'm just wondering if there's something with the 49A OTA that causes this issue. Other people have reported to me that they experienced the exact same issue as me with the SD card constantly ejecting. Maybe the slot IS bad, but it's not as sensitive to it except with the 49A.
I had thought I saw the same issue on 10b, but now for the past couple of hours, I've ran on 10b and haven't seen one issue with the SD card. So, I'm now slowly going up the OTA chain until I can get back to 48A where it last worked without any issues and see what happens there.
I have verified that the SD card is fine. Or at least, it appears so. I copied all the files off of it, did a format, chkdsk, etc and nothing comes up bad about the card.
So, the drama continues on with my phone!
Well, it's been confirmed via another user where vzw told him the latest 49a ota is not compatible with our phone in some instances in regards to the SD card. Last night I flashed back to 10b and I'm back on 48a now and no SD card issues. Zero. I've been going over 12 hours now and not a single unmount. Thanks Verizon. Nice testing. ?
I'm curious if those on 49a not expediting issues with their SD cards if they are on the K or non-k model of the g3?

Question SD Card Issues

Well just picked up my new A52 5G really enjoyed it at first but now my SD card keeps getting unmounted every time I restart the phone. ( The best part about this is the SD cards are made by Samsung tried 2 different ones both are 128G) (SAMSUNG: EVO Select 128GB MicroSDXC UHS-I U3 100MB/s Full HD & 4K UHD Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME128HA)
The typical SD problems Samsung is known for. Asking Samsung for solutions is not very informative. Please any suggestions would be great.
If not I guess I just ditch Samsung A52 5G and go back to the other evil the iPhone. Heck at least every time you turn that on it always works.
This sure seems like a great phone but that SD card issue is really a big deal at least for me.
HAve you tried the same SD cards on other phones or a different SD card on the same phone?
Yes, I actually bought 2 exact same cards, no issues anywhere I use them except in the new Samsung A52 5G.
Reading a lot of other posts seems to be a pretty big issue with Samsung and Android 11.
( https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5...afely-to-prevent-your-phone-from/td-p/2967455)
What about if you borrow a card from a different brand? I swtiched the old SD card i was using onto my A52 5G and never had any issues. Could it be a problem with samsung cards? For reference I use a Kingston 32GB MicroSDHC with UHS 1
Try formatting card in phone if that doesn't get it try doing a low level format on the PC with a 3rd party app do not use the Windows formatting utility.
Then format again in phone.
Load card through phone.
Formatting the SD card was the first thing I did using a Linux PC. (Manjaro OS ) This was always my goto if I have formatting problems. The SD card was done in exFAT, however no luck.
The other option is buy a different brand SD card as mentioned above by "ImGonnaTryScience". (Thanks)
The card I'm looking at is the
SanDisk 128GB Extreme MicroSDXC U3, V30, 4K, A2, Micro SD.
I'm thinking maybe the Samsung SD cards are to slow, but who knows.
What doesn't make sense is the Samsung SD cards work everywhere with no issues.
I even have an old Galaxy Tab 7, Samsung SD cards works great in that. Speaking of my old Tab 7 I tried formatting the SD cards with that and then put them back into the A52 5G. This didn't work either. My thinking was Samsung should like Samsung but my thinking was wrong. (Maybe I should stop thinking.)
Speed in SD cards matter sometimes (for example the SD card I use in my dashcam needs to be a certain minimum speed otherwise it won't be able to record properly), but I find it very odd that it wouldn't work for a phone.

Not giving up just yet, I really like the A52 5G.
V30 should be fairly fast from internal memory to SD card less using the C port.
If you did a low level format then put it in the phone with not data on it, then formatted in the phone again... it should work.
I've had issues like this on my S4, now you see it, now you don't. I had to do a low level format to make it readable even on Windows. May have been a bad card but all sectors were intact.
May be card brand. Even afterward it would not see the requiring a reboot.
I'm using the Lexar .5tb V30 card in my Note 10+ and unlike what happened on the S4 the 10+ recognized immediately. Formatted it in the phone and zero issues since.
OP I feel you. This is a frustrating issue that really jams a monkey wrench in the cogs.
I be seeing red.
Pedal to metal, no brains diagnostic solution; get the Lexar card if the size and speed rating fit your needs.
$64 and known to work out of the box.

Well I may have solved my problem. I completely wiped the SD Card using MiniTool Partition Wizard. However I didn't add a partition or any kind of formatting. Once the card and partition was completely wiped I put it back into the A52 5G and let it do its own partitioning and formatting of the SD Card. Everything is working really well no more SD card errors, just hope it holds. ( 12hrs and still working, before that the error would pop every 30 minutes or so.) ( Still using my original SAMSUNG: EVO Select 128GB SD Card)
I'll update the progress in a few days.
Some reason the wipe of the partition seemed to do the trick. I don't really understand why since like I said the card worked well in everything except the A52. Maybe Samsung changed the format structure compared to there previous tablets and phones. Maybe its even an issue with Android 11 . All formatting in the past was always exFAT however something changed with this phone. I hope this will help out others who may be experiencing the same problem.

It's possible there was some app on it with a secure partition or something.
It may take or do what one card* did in my S4+, while never lost data it would go through spells of not being recognized by the phone requiring a reboot. No rhythm or reason to it.
Having to low level format a new card is not a good sign.
Next card get a Lexar, slam it in, format, good to go.
* it wasn't recognized by the phone or Windows. Only the Lexar formatting app could access it. After a low level format it was visible to the phone and Windows.
Really?
Well I said I would let everyone know the progress. Simple terms FAIL.
6:00AM this morning the error came back. ( SD Card was removed unsafely )
So I guess now I'll try the new SD card I mentioned above or the one mentioned above by Blackhawk ( Thanks for the info. )

Well .5 tb will be nice to have.
I hope this works...
Format in phone.
I would leave the card in the phone and up/download data via the phone rather than removing the card to do so.

Found another interesting read. Maybe Android 11 is the issue.
Reading through this post I see the Scandisk Extreme SD card has issues to.
problem with "sd card removed unsafely" notification

I have no love for 11 and running on Pie quit happily on my Note 10+.
Can't say that Lexar card is know good for your phone because it uses a faster and different memory controller as well as the imfamous A-11 OS.
However before blaming the hardware or firmware I would give the Lexar a shot. It's a nice card to have regardless.
Well I picked up the sd card member Blackhawk was talking about this morning. A Lexar High-Performance 633x 512GB MicroSDXC UHS-I Card. I put the card in fresh out of the package let the A52 format the card about 4 hours later same as before, the fault came back. After reading the post the Blackhawk wrote about his pie made me think I'll try that. Fired up my pie4 and let the pie4 do the format. Well no luck there either within 30 minutes the fault came back. Well now I know its either the A52 or its Android 11. The cards both work really well in all may other devices. However the A52 5G is the only thing running Android 11. Now the question is return the phone or wait for Android 12.

Sorry to hear that. I meant that Pie as in Android 9. Try the Lexar low level formatting utility if you can find it. Again, format in phone before you use it to be on the safe side.
It seems it's the phone.
Try clearing the system cache.
Doubt check setting and clear data in associated apks. It still may be something not so obviously obvious... Androids wuv being played with.
Well I finally got the respond for Samsung I was looking for. It's not the SD card but an issue with there firmware. They claim it will be addressed with the next update. I used the Samsung Members App to send them an error report from my device and the response was quite pleasing.
( See there response)
Congratulations, you're a remote Samsung beta tester!
Just sloppy and unprofessional on Samsung's part and no fix... yet.
Eventually they'll get it but it should have never made it out for retail sale like that
Personally I'd consider asking for a full refund as without a working SD card slot the phone becomes a liability for me... as if this little ride hasn't already. That used 10+ is looking more tempting to me.
Wow. Well done
Hi another issue with SD. When I have tried to make a backup on the an SD card via the setting app it stuck after 85% and the result of it I got an SD with "write protection" which I can't change not via DOS not with other 3rd party tools. by the way its working on Samsung tablet including format and copy files but when I put is back to my mobile or try to check it on PC to delete the portion or make any change it still same issue "write protection". Would appreciate any idea before I put it to garbage. Thanks
