My SD card was formatted as internal storage for Android 6.0 and it was working fine. I mounted my SD card on my second Android phone and format it as external storage but again it said “Unsupported SD card”. So I mounted my SD card on my PC and I tried to format it using Windows 10 but it failed (“Windows was unable to complete the format”). I have tried clean all
command in Diskpart
and it took an hour to be completed but at the end nothing has changed. It has two drives: 16MB and 59GB drives. I guess the SD card is locked or encrypted by Android. When I try to delete the partition by fdisk
in Linux, it will show a successful result but unable to create a new partition due to insufficient memory in virtual disk drive. I have followed this answer to unlock the SD card but the status shows that the SD card is unlocked. I have tried GParted
as well but no luck. Is there a way to reuse my SD card as a portable storage?
