Unplug the USB device.ģ) Remove the usb_storage kernel module (assuming it's compiled as a module) $ sudo modprobe -r $(lsmod | sed -n 's:,: :g s,^usb_storage*,p') usb_storageĤ) Now we will put the module back in using a quirks mode setting to override the detection of the device's write-only flag.įrom source/drivers/usb/storage/usb.c#L572 taken from v4.19 you can see that the quirks mode setting we're looking for is w. Here's how it works.ġ) Plug in the USB device and do an lsusb, example: $ lsusbīus 002 Device 012: ID 0781:5583 SanDisk Corp.Ģ) Take note of those two codes between the colon (called the idVendor and idProduct). To actually make it work, you can override the detection of the USB disk announcing its read-only with a USB quirks setting. None of these answers provided so far are correct. I opened the case, shaved some of the plastic casing away to give the PCB some wiggle room and then reflowed the NAND chip to repair the broken solder joints. Rather than doing yet another RMA, I took matters into my own hands.

But for this particular model, it seems to have had weak solder joints that the pressure from the sliding action exacerbated - leading to oxidation in the cracked joint and eventual failure. Ordinarily, this wouldn't have caused an issue in the normal life span of the device. The sliding mechanism seems to put a small amount of pressure on the PCB. The problem actually turned out to be mechanical.

Update 2: Regarding that Corsair Flash Voyager, I sent mine in for an RMA, only to have my second one fail on me in the same fashion. Since this is one of my more popular answers and this also falls into the category of "failing flash drives," I figured I'd include it here for reference. This was a result of the drive having accrued a large amount of bad sectors and dropping into diagnostic/programming mode. While it didn't show the symptoms noted here, it occasionally would not mount and showed up as a "Silicon Power" device. In my case, this was a Corsair Flash Voyager 128GB that started slowing down pretty drastically on me. I hate to break the bad news to you =\ but it appears you're out of luck in this situation as everything I've read points to hardware failure.Įdit : I experienced an issue personally with a flash drive flaking out on me recently. If you still have this drive and it's still in warranty I'd return it and get a replacement. People had tried opening them and jumping two leads (maybe from a flaky switch?) to no avail. Mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 mkfs.vfat 3.0.9 ()Īfter researching your question it appears that this is a not-too-uncommon problem with certain brands of USB flash drives (some older Samsung, a Kingston model) that would essentially just "crap out" for no known reason. There are differences between boot sector and its backup.įree cluster summary wrong (968250 vs.
