It has been over 2 weeks now with this problem. Both cards are SanDisk 64GB Micro SD Cards...
I've tried accessing the micro SD card in different operating system and yet can't format it...
Used linux, Windows 7 and different mobile phones with different operating systems... All failed!
I am so sick of it need some urgent help to fix these... I can't send them back because i am in Kabul Afghanistan so am stuck with only option is to try fix it..
I can access the files saved on it which means Read ONLY but can't Write. Tried deleting and work! so not sure what is going on...
i tried lots of software on windows to delete the partition or format it in low level or just normal format but all useless
Can someone help out in this regard? I hope to get some proper help...
Cheers
The title most definitely does not say it all. If you have any realistic expectation of useful assistance, you need to give a detailed description of your issue, what you have done to try and resolve it or narrow down the possible causes. And in particular, verbatim error messages, your phone model and firmware version.
You imply that you are seeing some filesystem error message. But it's hard to even know what the ostensible error due to the lack of information in your original post. It's difficult to believe that it couldn't be fixed with a system reset and wiping the cache and /or NAND. In rare cases you might have partition corruption or a hardware fault. But we can't do anything unless you provide specific details.

hm... Not sure whether you have had such problem in past or not as i mentioned it is Dirty Bit problem so i am not sure what else are you after? the problem is the damn SD cards now they are original SanDisk 64GB sdhc X cards i am not sure whether the cache or anything else could be faulty as i have wiped it all... maybe i have missed something but i can't think of anything.
The rom that i am currently using is [ROM][G900F] X-Note TMT v.5.0 NG2 *Floating-True-Multidpi-Touchwiz* [4.4.2]. The previous ROM was AllianceROM_V5_S5_NG2_Final.
I would like to clear that the problem persist in windows and other phones too. I can't format sd cards with android nor with low level formatting or diskpart! so the problem remains the same!
Anyways.. i hope to get some proper help.

What do you mean you cannot LLF in diskpart? Have you deleted the partition in diskpart using a card reader and then ran a chkdsk in Windows to verify there are no issues?

Do you know what is Dirty Bit? if yes then you should know you can't write to the Dirty disk nether can format nor can delete it in diskpart or whatever else... i tried everything i could low level format to normal format method!

Yes you can format a drive with a dirty bit. It should be fixed using Chkdsk - Windows will tell you if you have a dirty bit and offer you to scan and fix. If you don't then it's probably not a dirty bit but either a bug with your system or a faulty SD card. I never said about writing to the card.
Stop being so condescending and you might get more help from others.

I am not sure where do you get the idea of such arrogance? if i had anything as such wouldn't i be here asking for help?
well it doesn't format nether can write anything to it ... i tried everything as i said in my posts ChKDSK, format, low level format, alternative methods for formatting using different tools and using hex apps for searching the dirty bit but can't locate. Operating system is Win 7 ult. if it was one sd card then would have been easy to understand and say yeah this should be the sd card but as i have two sd cards and both happen to be in this situation now i dont' know what could be the cause and how to fix.
Both SD cards show dirty as i checked it with the dirty volume command so that's not something i am making up or trying to make my life tough! anyways... i want some help and i am not arrogance that isn't in my character nether i ever been so lets keep that bit aside and rather get some proper help please.
Cheers
OK, well, your last chance before you RMA them would be to try a Linux Live CD/USB, try and find your SD card using ls /dev/m* to find the mmcblk number, unmount it if needed, and then try sudo fsck -a /dev/mmcblk(output of ls). If not you probably have a duff batch or fakes or just plain unlucky.

No luck i am completely speechless what is wrong with it? i never have had such problem with HDD/MMC that i could fix or used any application to fix but wouldn't! now this said it's giving me big headache
i am not sure what happened to these sd cards whilst i take care of them quite good and never let it drop or even overheat etc.
I dont' know what to do next? any other options in hand? maybe someone else have had such problem with Dirty Bit? what is making me angry the most is not being able to format it regardless of methods and apps that i used! what is wrong with this damn thing i have backed up my data and can't write a character to damn SD cards!
Anyone else can help?

I've provided details and if one doesn't know what is Dirty Bit why even bother asking any questions that aren't even helpful? Guess the simple and straight forward answer hurts quite a lot aye? It doesn't bother me when people ask relative questions whether be 1 or thousands but when someone doesn't have a clue what is going on and what's wrong and try to show they know what is going on and can solve the problem and try to ask questions like kids then anyone in my case would reply with whatever i have done.

It may completely just be an issue with the card itself. My Coworker had to send 3 different SanDisk MicroSD cards back to the company for replacement due to there being a problem with a bunch of cards getting corrupted.

I am having a similar problem with my sd card.
SM-G900A Galaxy S5
ScanDisk 64 GB micro HDXD card.
I can read all data on card, but can't write/change/delete anything.
Odd thing is that it doesn't throw any errors when you try to make a change or write to the disk.... It just appears to complete successfully, then the files or whatnot just revert/disappear.
Suggestions?
SanDisk SDXC is most probably the culprit!
Considering I encountered this write protect error TWICE with the exact same product, and after having read forums that show it's a common problem, I conclude that the problem is with either this specific SanDisk product or a particular batch of this product:
Exact product specs: SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)
These carry a lifetime warranty. A word of advice: if you go for a replacement, ask for a different 64GB model, or try a different size of the same model (I got 2 x 32GB cards instead). If they insist on giving back the exact same model, I'd suggest you use that card anywhere except a smartphone!
PS: Although I encountered this error with my Samsung Galaxy S4, I have reason to believe that this problem could occur with other smartphones too... considering the error pattern and the fact that none of the suggested remedies work (SDformat, diskpart, etc.)

So you basically did a proper format like already advised. You obviously didnt do a proper oen before and maybe used windows standard full format etc.
In future if you wish to do a proper format of a SD card use Panasonic SD Card Formatter with following settings...
FULL (ERASE ON)
Size adjustment ON

I didn't know about this "Panasonic" program , although i did more than 4 hours of searching both in xda and google
anyway , i did try a proper format using a tool from site sdcard.org -or something like that- and it did take about the same amount of time with this "[email protected] kill disk" so I am not sure
anyway, the good thing is that it is now working
thanks anyway
hope you mentioned this program earlier

1) I've read other's who have had a similar problem. Search the forums. I believe it has something with residuals from previous ROMs. Try task29 before flashing.
2) Seriously asking this???? You use Zune to put content on to your phone! WP7 works through Zune. Have you not read any of the "how-to install WP7" write-ups and the requirements for syncing with your PC?
It isn't any different from what you did with WM6.5, just a different interface.
Ignore him, i dont know why his ranting on about zune and WM6.5
But he is right in that this is covered on here already

I didn't look at the links, but it basically has to do with how WP7 formats your SD card. It can be reformatted in a way that reflects the size of the card. I can provide you with more help if you'd like.

to fix this, turn off your phone and either remove the storage card or replace it with a new compliant card. then youll need to reset your phone to the original factory settings."

ah yes, sorry bit of an assumption made there! you will need to hard reset and install again, or reflash, its up to you, on the positive side, with only 200mb storage you'll not have lost much. your activation code if you have one should still work

you need to reflash the rom as wp7 foramts and partitions the card during setup, if you change the sd card then wp7 loses its settings and you need to reinstall

The Hd7 will become king of the hill once they crack it wide open, theres little difference between the two of them but the HD7 with its more vibrant screen does look a bit better. I still long for the day someone can get WM booting of an SD card, via magldr that is. however in saying all of that, dispite the HD2s drawbacks i still think it has the edge at the moment, purely because there is little that wont work with it, but least you gave it a shot. Good luck with the HD7

i guess thats one of the issues that has to be dealt with then using an os not designated for the device, there will always be quirks and issues
well if you would have read what your doing when installing windows phone 7 you would have known that this happens.
windows phone 7 doesn't support sd cards, thats why the card is formatted when installing it and you have only 200mb left. the rest of the card is in wp7s discformat and you can use it as your internal storage.
so when you farmatted your sd card to get back your 16gb as fat partition you deleted system files of wp7 that were on the card. that's why this error occured.
if you would read the instructions in the rom threads and the stickies you would have known all this. everything is clear and easy when you inform yourself before starting with something and there are a lot of threads explaining everything in detail.
So I have this Issue I found my 16gb HD2(I no longer have the hd2) that's I guess corrupted I can view the files move them to my desktop but I cant format the SD, I tried my Nexus One, digital camera, Windows 7, Macbook,ubuntu, mini partition tool and testdisk with no results. I remember this issue happen when I tried to run android through SD maybe you guys know why. thanks
Some sd cards especially ones that have been bought on ebay or overseas have a memory hack in them. What happens is the sd card shows 16gb but in reality it may only have 6-10gb. The hack provides the sd card to show more space then is actually there. You can use it just fine with no problems at all but once you go over the actual memory it really has & not just shows you then get a slew of corrupted files on your sd card leaving it almost useless. This is only 1 example, others causes could be if you take an ad card out while you transferring files to it. In the end there is little you can do and what I would of suggested you've already tried. (minitool) this has helped me fix a card that I was transferring files when my power went out. This will probably not help but have you tried different ports on your computer? What happened when it was in you nexus?

Yeah I learn this lesson on my chinese 32gb lol but on my 16gb sd was actually the one that came with the hd2 so I know for a fact is legit. everytime I put it on my N1 it tries to format it and then a message pops out saying card unmounted. I also tried my good old nokia n82 which usually Nokias are really good at formatting corrupted cards it doesn't give me the choice of formatting the card. Im wondering of their some type of lock on the sd card.
there is a really small lock on the front of a sd card but none that i know of on a micro sd. did you use the minitool partition wizard or the data recovery program? if you only used the partitioning wizard i would try the minitool data recovery program found here.
Running mini tool this is what I get it wont fix it though https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/3-oc0r_Bbv5qrYncR3IzCZaCRbbB6vENK-AyJ2O_CkI?feat=directlink
running minitool data or minitool partitioner? it looks like minitool data if i remember correctly. yeah, it says "minitool found errors on disk but will not fix them because diskcheck was run without fix parameters." i would try it again but select "check and fix detected errors" see if that helps. if it dont help then i would suggest to wait for advise from someone a little more knowledgeable about this.

what about good ol' Check Disk from Windows Explorer?
Another program is SD Formatter 3.0.
Try it and play with the options.
SD formatter is pretty good i must say. Here is another one that might be of some use. I have a corrupted flash drive around somewhere so i'll try and find that. maybe I can play around with it to see what might work and report back. I would also take a look at this link as it provides some very useful information about sd cards. you can find that here, please make sure you read the section on "Formatting is required". This will explain why you may be running into problems along with what the cause might be.
Yea the same thing happened to me with my 8 gig card, i even tried formatting it at best buy and with a camera and still wouldn't format. So i just had to buy a new one.
I have an External sd card issue after updating to 4.4, now I know there are alot of people experiencing access issues but mines is different and wanted to know if you guys are having the same crap, so I can access my ext sd no prob but unfortunately I cannot right any data to it anymore, if I try a full reformat of the ext sd card in my phone it will format and after it will rebuild and come back with pics and music etc, if I try to reformat it in the pc it will not, when I take pictures and it goes to the external sd it will be gone or become corrupt when I reboot, anyone having the same issues???
its less then a year old sandisk 64gb class 10 it would be weird but its also a coincidence it happened only after I updated to 4.4....
Its not weird at all. If you google about that you will find a fix. But first you have to be rooted.
You are going to add media_rw to your platform.xml.
Just google a bit. And you'll find the answer.

Yes. You have to wait for your app to be updated by the dev. I have several apps that is already kitkat compatible. They can write or delete in my ExtSdCard. Anyway. The best way is to root your device. Thats all.
I think it sounds more like what happened to my SD card. It became Read Only and I had to send it back for a replacement. Nothing to do with KitKat.
Check out this thread and I hope it helps (solved) 64gb sd card stuck on read only
This is not the KitKat issue, the Stock Camera was one of the first apps to be updated...
Does this also happen with a different SD?

Its not weird at all. If you google about that you will find a fix. But first you have to be rooted.
You are going to add media_rw to your platform.xml.
Just google a bit. And you'll find the answer.

Woops, free like... enjoy?
I had a dodgy microsd not to long ago. It was really screwed, couldn't be read or write to. After formatting a zillion times on all my different devices, I tried a recovery program I had got when I accidentally wiped my 1tb hdd. To my surprise after recovering all the media on the card; I cant remember if there was an option to restore partiton table, but it worked like normal again.
Anyway here's the name of the program:
MiniTool Power Data Recovery
http://www.powerdatarecovery.com/
-looking at it now.
Once you've formatted your sd-card try recovering the media on it (free version only does 1gb). Then try testing again see if its fixed.
If it doesn't do anything there is a couple of other options.
- Damaged partion recovery and lost partion recovery. I'd give these a try and do a quick format after doing so.
Hopefully this program helps, it brought a dead card right back to life for me.

Tried it bro but still nothing thanks though
Hi,
For me it's not acceptable to have a device with ext SD support but able to use it!
I spend nearly one hour to copy to another card, reformat, check files, virus, Fat32 but nothing helps!
connected thru OTG, it's possible to write file but impractical, I hope next update or utility would be avaible.
If I understand, it's related to the Knox security?
I didn't tested Knox, it's not free am I right?
When I try to reformat my SD card it gets corrupted and k even tried a different sd card and I got the same thing. Isn't their some type of zip file I can flash to fix this?
The same thing is happening to me too! Even made a thread about it.... Only difference is, I'm on Lineage 14

I wonder of its some type of bug. I mean my 64gb SD card is genuine
Yea, mine USED to work, but now, it doesn't. I also do get an error from time to time
Pardon the bump, but it seems like his and my thread is getting no help, and this is a very irritating bug.... So far I've tried: 1) Downgrading to LineageOS 13, still doesn't work. Even for two completely new SD cards, same problem

I'm starting to run out of room these updates intend to take up a lot of space
I am starting to think we are a lost cause... I even tried the adb shell way of formatting

What do you mean we are a lost cause? I think their could be something wrong with the partition of our SD cards.
Lol. Doesn't seem like anyone is trying to help. And idk if that's the problem. I tried a BRAND NEW card, and still had the same problem
I did find a way to do it in TWRP, but haven't tried yet. When I do, I'll let you know the results

Still I tried fixing this issue and I still get the same thing
