Let me start off I'm running NAE Stock Rooted with SD Card Fix and HotSpot Mod. Recently my phone has been write protecting all my sd cards, (Sandisk Ultra 64gb, Samsung 32gb, and Sandisk Ultra 32gb) I put into my phone. It's getting a bit annoying now that I can't transfer any files to my external card. I try to formatting all the cards on the computer its saying its write protected. Does anyone know what causing the phone to write protect the sd cards and is there way to fix this problem?

Thanks I'll see if this works and sticks. So far it let's me delete files and hope they don't come back . Before it would let me delete them then 10 minutes later they back.

It went back to write protection, it work for a few minutes the files come back after I delete them. Then files I did add would write then disappear a few minutes later. Anything else I can try?

Sounds like your SD card is no good. I had the same thing happen to me this weekend. I contacted Sandisk and mailed my card back to them yesterday for a replacement. I have only had mine since March. If you will go to their website their is a forum that discusses it and a place you can report it. Let me know if you have any problems.

Just curious what recovery were you running? I think you said you were stock rooted but no custom rom.

Its not just one SD card it's 3 sd cards that are getting write protected when I put them into my phone. My Sandisk ones I'll contact them about that and let them know the situation I'm having. For my Samsung one I don't know what to on that one. I'm running Philz Recovery on my phone.
