Can't link apps to SD - saying r/o

[Hugh Johnson]

I use Link2SD and it automatically moves most apps to my SD card. For some reason my SD card won't let me transfer most things to it now. When trying to link apps to the SD I get the error messages shown below and if I connect to the phone with Wifi Explorer Pro some files won't upload and it says I/O error. I've used Root Explorer to change the data directory to r/w and it still doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?

Sounds like your SD card might be corrupted. This happened to me once, from unplugging from the computer without doing "safely remove hardware" first. You'll need to reformat the card. You might be able to copy the contents to your computer first, depending on how bad the corruption is.

Yea, I learned the hard way back in the day on a thumb drive that you wanna make sure to do this. I didn't lose any data, but, I was going from one version of Windows to another without safely removing and it wasn't being recognized on the second version. Took me a while to figure out what the issue was.

But, if you want to see if the SD card is indeed the problem, if you have another SD card, you could try and use that. If you are successful, you know it's the SD card, if not, then at least you have ruled out the SD card being the issue and we can try something else.

I did a little more research into it and apparently "error 22" is fairly common when using Link2SD. I guess the mounting script gets deleted sometimes.

Anyway, it looks like the easiest thing for me to do is just backup my apps and wipe the SD card. Thanks

No problem. Thanks for coming back and posting your findings!!

You could try using App2SD. I've never had that error with it.
