sd read only problem

Hi Im currently running wildpuzzle 0.7 and have an issue where the sd card becomes read only. un mount mount do not help, app can not have write access like camera for instance. Under windows file permissions appear ok.
Any clues?
Regards.
Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........

dont think so pal, happened to me with stock card from phone :/

True, happened to me as well, and, only formatting the SD solved it. This happened to me using the stock card.
This happened when I was playing around with A2SD, and had created an EXT partition using ROM Manager. It worked well for a fe whours, then these errors started creeping up and I had to format it. Could be something wrong there....

could be a very noob question but cant find any solution... i just purchased a 32 gb micro sd for my evo... evo reads all the files n everything on it but when i try to flash a rom or anything from that sd card it says "cant open /sdcard/....

Search google for a tool to format your card with. Most of the time you can format it normally as fat32 but youre actually supposed to format it them a special way

i actually formatted my card from the fone itself... n i just realise that while i boot my fone to recovery it does not read anything like normally it reads all the images on ur sd card.... but when i open file explorer it does read all the fines on it..... just wont read while flashing...

nop... formatted it from computer=no good, on the fone=no good, using a different software=no good....

Exchange the card it may be bad, I've held off buying a 32gb card because half of the reviews on Newegg for 32gb cards are negative and report failures or DOAs. Seems like the techs a little immature. Sandisk is the most reliable brand though.

Try scanning it from windows to see if it shows any bad sectors, you may have a bad card

if it had any bad sectors why would it work with no problems on my computer... with sd reader or usb reader...... i think its not working coz it does not have those rsa keys on it n simply copying to the new sd does not work....

Where did you get your SD card from cuz it sounds like it may be starting to go bad. I'd try formating again with a stock ROM...bit of a pain i know, but might produce a better result also you may wanna try to just reformat a few times in a row with your current ROM to see if it corrects the problem.
best option is if it keeps up is to pull your SD card out of your device and format with a computer when u have access to one then format using your device.

[Q] sd card?

phone boots up starts to load the sd card then says "blank sd card sd card has blank or has unsupported filesytem any ideas ?

SD card in, phone won't boot

So yesterday I was trying to find a picture on my phone, but right before I clicked the gallery icon, the phone said "SD card suddenly disconnected" or something like that.
So I rebooted, which is what i usually do when I get a SD card error.
Now the phone won't boot with the SD card in. The computer shows the status bar on the top loading when I use a micro-sd adapter, but it will not respond and restart Explorer if I try to to right-click or access it.
I'd really like to get my pictures back at least.

I would try to put the sd card in another phone and try and see if it works. If it does, make a back up on your pc, then format your card. Then restore the back up.
Don't know if that would fix it but its worth a try.

Yes that works. But it also sometimes does not format the entire card . Such as in the case of an sd ext partitoned card.

Anyone know how to remove the partitions? Like get it back to the factory partitions?
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA Premium App

I guess this card is just going to get put away, the computer won't read it to format it, that's the problem.
If I try to right click the drive, it says not responding the Explorer crashes and restart.
I'm pretty sure I said that in the op.

Did you try a different SD Card adapter?

No. I did try it in another phone, an Evo. I did boot, but said the SD card was damaged and it needed to be formatted.

I tried running chkdsk on it, it also froze up the cmd window.
EVO Shift and XDA app

Well if you can get the SD Card to show in another phone. Place the SD Card into the other phone, boot into recovery and format it from there.

It won't mount or anything in the other phone.
I let the chkdsk run for a while, it finally said it cannot read RAW files.
I found a utility that is supposed to fix this error, I have yet to try it though.
EVO Shift and XDA app

Well the card might actually be dead then. I would still try and see if you can format it some way. BUt from what your describing it might be done.

What rom were you using. I went throught 2 8gig card recently because of this in a really short span of time. I think it might have to do with the card getting partitioned in a way where part of the card isn't readily read anymore
