nttkd, connect your phone to pc, right click my computer, select manage, look for drives, locate card, and format it..dont use the normal format method. Remember, some Chinese sd cards is not compatible with bb devices, and gives endless errors......

Why do I say format it? There is spyware on it, and u got to delete the partition as well in most cases to clean the card.....hope my babbling makes sense.......

you know, when I made this post, I knew either uncle ungers or raffiki was gonna be the only ones to post a reply I tried doing that too. good old google suggested I do that. still says the operation did not complete because the media is write protected.... Can't even delete the partition coz the option is low lighted.

Then the card has failed.......considering the micro-micro-micro connections and hardware inside the card, its not suprising that some cards fails unexpectedly....plus, they get mass-produced.....replacement is the only option left, seems to me.......eish!!...

I did mention it in a post, and not sure if there is one in Durbs, but Hifi-corp is selling 16gig Sandisk sd cards for R228......got myself one, no issues at all......but if u do get a no-name card, make sure it says HC on the side, they give the least trouble in the cheapie range......

Just remembered something......put it in card reader, go to command prompt, (DOS) and type this.....format E: /u Replace E with your card drive letter if needed.....there is a space, then forwardslash then u......if this fails, the card is truly dead, and can safely be buried............the u stands for unconditional....after that, format once more normally.....good luck!......

its dead... Still saying volume is write protected... Guess I'll have to get a new one. It was a kingston micro sd hc 8gig... But atleast I could still recover the files from it. Thanks for the help ungers. Apreciate it

I will bow my head in silence for a while.....may the fallen card rest in peace.....

that happened to me once with my old samsung, I had one of those adapter thingys that u use to put the memory card in a camera or car radio. I unlocked it on that b*tton thingy, put it in the camera then took the card out of the adapter and put it in my phone. it might have been luck but it seemed to fix the problem

@raffi, write protection is simply disabling one of the pins on the card, I think the circuitry failed just the right way by a fluke, causing the card to be write-protected.....cos he was still able to retrieve the files on it........an adaptor won't work in this case.....

just a suggestion :)

No problem, raffi.......basically a micro-sd cannot be write-protected by itself, it has to be done by software such as drivelock, or an adaptor with a toggle on the side, the adaptor is just an extension of the open pins on the sd card, enabling it to fit into other devices.....so the lock disables the connecting circuitry on the adaptor, not the card itself......
