So after doing some the mods from RomTools... all of the sudden my SD card is write protected??

Can can see files but can not add or delete. I've taken it out....try to fix from Win 7...still write protected...then I tried to format from comp.. no go...then I tried right in the phone...nope.

Tried fixing permissions multiple times and it's the same.

Any ideas or suggestions?

look on the card itself most full sized sd cards have a switch of sorts to write protect them on the physical card itself. ive never seen one on a micro-sd card but it cant hurt to look.

if thats not the case then something in your SD Card broke. Micro-SD cards should not have any way to write-protect them from a format.

then your card is most likely shot. if its fairly new (and you dont mind wasting time) try calling up the manufacturer and requesting a replacement.

Ah crap

What I feared...it's a older card used between different phones I've had.

I appreciate the help

Nice! This one is a 16...I'm going to search for a 32.

It's weird though....I can read and the phone recognizes it...just can't write or delete
