I have a micro SD card that was previously used in my smartphone. After a recent software update, the phone no longer recognized the card and prompted me to format it. When I connected the card to my Windows computer, I encountered the same issue. I ran chkdsk, which made the card readable again, but now I'm facing a new problem: it's stuck in read-only mode. I've tried changing permissions in Windows and using the 'attributes disk clear readonly' command with diskpart, but nothing seems to work. Is my SD card likely broken, or is there a chance that reformatting it could resolve the issue?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Are you running into permissions issues when you try to access the card? If you haven’t done so already, make sure you're running your repair tools as admin. That might give you the access you need.
SD cards often switch to read-only mode when they start to fail, which can prevent further changes. If it’s stuck like that, it might be time to consider replacing it. It’s usually a sign of a failing card that won’t revert back to normal operation.
