How to Remove Write Protection on Micro SD Card

[@dkxtro2562]

I didn't even know what that little slider on the adapter was for. Extremely quick and informative video. Thank you, it helped me a lot!

[@2busy2P]

Short and to the point - Thanks - Appreciate anyone who puts out a good video and it is easy to understand and doesn't have some blaring background music.

[@jamiewagner]

Thanks so much! I agree it's better to get to the point

[@mrelijahking55]

I can't thank you enough man. I was stuck on this the ENTIRE day and was about to give up hope, until I saw your video and it finally solved my issue. Thank You so much. Earned a Subscriber and a Like.

[@jamiewagner]

You're very welcome! And thank you so much for the like and subscribing. I appreciate it so much. I will be doing new videos soon!

[@oldporchdog]

I tried all 3 with no luck. Thanks for the effort.

[@chaturangabandara9518]

me too, no luck.

[@jamiewagner]

Sorry it didn't help you out

[@zainal1769]

me too, no luck :(

[@pentanus7709]

If "attributes disk" command in cmd DiskPart is showing Current read-only state as "Yes" but Read-only as "No" then it's over, you can't remove write protection. Buy a new card.

[@zainal1769]

Thank you in advance

[@Gil60Four]

You got a great way of making things sound so clear & concise. I've had headaches trying to sort my sd card out & having a learning difficulty doesn't help but your clear step by step upbeat way of explaining things made it so enjoyable for me & problem solved. Thanks a lot man 👍

[@jamiewagner]

You're very welcome!

[@milenasoloduhina1726]

Sweet! Exactly what I needed. Fast and simple! The second option worked for me. And no need to download anything like in a bunch of other videos I watched. Thanks a lot!

Having to switch from a Mac to a PC from time to time, it can be a bit of a learning curve, so I really appreciate your clear and direct explanations. And I agree with others that it’s a relief there’s no background music :)

[@buddyboy4x44]

I had quite a few thumb drives and SD cards that "failed" over time. I just replaced them. Now I have learned to clean them using the diskpart command, also now have added this approach to removing read only. I have saved not all but most drives that were otherwise seemingly finished. Knowedge is power! Great video. Subscribed.

[@jamiewagner]

Awesome thanks for the sub!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I tried resetting my 3ds with an SD card that wouldn't format. I had two. After long processes like this and no luck I was surprised when it formatted when resetting the device with the card in it. Try it on another device. You might have some luck

All my life I fought when you put it down it literally just wouldn’t fit into the SD card reader so when I looked at it when I saw that and it fit I didn’t think that was a problem then when I switched it, it worked just fine. thank you very much for the advice.

Option 2 command prompt to add "attributes" to "clear disk readonly, solved the problem, and although i knew locking/unlocking slider, people also have to know, sometimes the slider seems to work, but inside may be faulty due to wear and tare, or damaged without showing on outside, try another SD Adapter. Most appreciated, Now 3 Cards are now working again thanks to your clean teachings, You the Guy..

0:35 - Method #1: Using an SD Card adaptor, switch to unlocked position 2:10 - Method #2: Using Command Prompt, clear 'readonly' attribute 4:27 - Method #3: Using Registry Editor, add 'WriteProtect' value to 'StorageDevicePolicies'

Use rufus and burn a random iso to the sd card that will force to wipe the drive and bypass it then you should be able to format it after and will be like new

So if these methods don't work, what should one do? I have a good quality card that was not used for long but it's full of video files and I can't delete them, format the disk. What is keeping this from formatting. Should we try from another computer or Operating System such as Linux?
