Sorry to hear that. I don't have a solution, I am experiencing a similar problem. I have a separate thread in for this. When I check my storage usage one of them shows more files than is possible to store. So far no one has replied to my post. If I figure out how to fix this I will try to get back to you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2158587

Are you booting from SD or internal? If booting from internal, it's possible the SD card has been corrupt. Try it in another device or computer. If it doesn't work there either, try backing it up and formatting the card. If that isn't the issue, try another card.
If booting from SD, leapinlar has a lot of valuable info on his tips and tricks thread.
Good luck.

[Q] Can't Format/Write to MicroSD Card

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?
cheers

Your replies explain why you don't have more replies.
You spurned an earlier suggestion to provide more detail so that better advice could be offered, so I'll just concur with the poster who concluded

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.
Am not arrogant or ignorant... i am here to get some help if one can then would regardless of the replies and people like your self else doesn't matter end of the day nothing gain nothing lost...
I know for sure one thing, if i leave this thread to die then one who has problem want to read this thread would like to get some conclusion and help rather than just reading things that aren't worth wasting time on, as one would need help not reading unrelated things!

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.)

MicroSD Card Won't Read

I was trying to flash los when my phone died and then I could access my microsd card on my phone or pc. Any known solution? I tried to look up a fix but couldn't find any.

I've tried formatting but it fails and then my pc says that there's no disk in the port after a while even though it's still there.

Maybe try formatting to ext4 in TWRP? Might not fix anything at all, but is worth a shot.

Did you get the B02 OTA update? I hear that one broke microSD cards over 64GB.

lineage 13 Formating internal with sd not working

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

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
