I've got a Samsung EvoPlus MicroSD Card in my Galaxy A8 mobile that has suddenly gone read-only. Removing it and popping it into a laptop also shows it as read-only. I've tried using Windows diskpart and the "attributes disk clear readonly" command to clear the read-only state. It tells me it's been successful, but actually it hasn't and remains read-only.

 

I'm at the point of thinking the card has irretrievably failed unless anyone has any other ideas I could try?

The card has failed. Just grab whatever you can off it and snap / bin it.

 

SD Cards are cheap so just pop into a reputable store and grab a new one.
