so i was trying to install gentoo on my tablet (in a chroot) {AllWinner Q8 EM63} {Android 4.4.2} and every time i try to mke2fs a card it becomes read-only and i am unable to make any changes. sadly i admit the instructions i used were from reddit, but they look legit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/16ifza/install_gentoo_in_a_chroot_on_android/
i have had this problem before when formatting sdcards with terminal emulator. anyone know a way to fix the card? gparted try's to format it and even windows (i tried) and i tried fsck already, it finds like 50 errors and claims it fixed them every time same issue, so it isn't able to actually write to the card.
halp
Is it physically locked?

it's a micro sd, so there is no physical lock

Doesn't the file system type matter for mountable drives?

I had a similar issue with a 16gb MicroSD from Sandisk. Tried everything, write protection will not remove, tried registry mod, using a SD adaptor, chdsk, said fuck it and bought a new one.
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=4M
replace x with sdcard device index
