hi Guys,

I have this Strontium 64gb microsd card. For some reason im unable to write any file to the card. though i can read whats there in the card.
I tried the below methods, still my SD card is not fixed.. Pls check and lemme know if anything else has to be done.

All methods tried as administrator.
Method 1:
Normal format method by clicking on the sd card - getting "Windows was unable to complete the format"

Method 2:
From disk management tried to assign some other letter for my drive..and tried formatting..so use..getting some error.
create partition primary also not working

Method 3:
From diskpart.
list disk -> select disk 1 -> clean -> give Data error <cyclic redundancy check>"

Method 4:
From EaseUS partition manager: format - create partition primary - wipe data ---- Nothing is working.

Method 5:
chkdsk

Hello everyone, just wanted to share my experience with two 32gb Samsung evo cards, a plain and a Plus one. I used them as adoptable android storage and after some time (maybe after 2 years for the first one and a year for the other) they both became corrupted and write-protected. I didn't want to experiece the fuss of replacing the items, so I tried EVERY PROPOSED SOLUTION regarding corrputed SDs. So, I tried to format them with Windows Explorer, having inserted them one time in a Card Reader and another in my oldie Nokia N95. Nothing happened and I received the error that the cards were write-protected.

I tried the diskpart and Disk Utility methods; however, the results were the same as above.

Time for EaseUS, Partition Wizard, SD Formatter Tool and HPUSBTool. Unable to format as well.

Ultimum refugium was a VM running Debian OS and gparted utility. Even this application was unable to format these two stubborn cards.

In conclusion, I resolved my problem by replacing these two cards from the merchant I bought each one. It is obvious that some sort of physical damage is unfortunately occured by using the card as adoptable storage. From now on, I am certain that I will not use this type of partition ever again.

How to fix a corrupted SD card

So basically all these are for info on card. Not the card itself. Is there any hope for the card?

 

[wian]

You may be able to fix a corrupted card using the latest version of the official formatting tool: https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/

A full format takes a long time. You can first try the "Quick format" option. But if your card is screwed you probably need the thorough format:

Choose the card and select "Overwrite format" and tick box "CHS format size adjustment" then hit Format.

ALL DATA ON THE CARD WILL BE LOST!

 

[cikos]

Step 1: Connect the SD card to your PC

Step 2: Press Windows + E to open Windows Explorer.

Step 3: Right-click the SD card and open its Properties.

Step 4: Click on the Tools tab.

Step 5: Click the Check button.
Step 6: Let the scan process completes. Close the scan window once it finishes.

So my SD card was corrupted, 256 GB SanDisk "Ultra MicroSDXC 1 ⑩ A1", and was getting CRC errors. I then put it in my Linux machine and ran badblocks destructive on it, one run of each of the 4 bit patterns (took 30 hours!), and it said 0 errors. Does that mean it's ok to keep using? The CRC errors were in the filesystem and not the hardware?

any method found on tech websites does not work. I have tried every tool like cmd, diskpart, easeus, minitool partition wizard , any thing did not worked.
Dont know what tools service center persons have. They can fix the SD card if not, they replace it.
I have strontium 64GB micro SD card. It some how got corrupted. Some chinese and unknown character and symbol was shown when connected to PC, then I ran error check and repair the errors, every thing was cleaned. I can see the files of my SD Card, but, the card became read only. I can not write data on it. Even in PC when right clicking any files, no "delete" option is available.
after trying every possible methods and tool available on Internet, atlast I had to go Service center.
He took SD card, went inside and returned in couple of minutes. Now my sd card was repaired.
But, when I inserted micro SD card in my cellphone it is now detected as Samsung SD card.
I dont know what he did. Possibly he might have write some different firmware. (I have heard that sd cards too have some micro controller and its firmware to control the main storage unit. If that firmware somehow got.corrupted, then damaged sd card is shown, which can be repaired by reflashing firmware)

That service center does magic too bad he didn't share!

If you have problems with your memory card in 80% of all cases the controller of your card is damaged and no software or card reader can help. You must separate the memory chip and dump the raw data to recover your data, look here: CF xD SD memory card/stick photo recovery
