    I slotted the top of a USB stick into my phone to copy material from the stick onto the phone. When I subsequently slotted this same USB stick into my laptop and tryed to copy files to it from the laptop I got the error message 'The disk is write-protected'. I've googled this already but its the fact that I used it with my phone that has caused the problem as it worked fine beforehand. Appreciate any help.

    Something similar happened to me years ago with a camera. Plug it back In the phone and if there’s an option to eject the USB take it.


    If not, I think it should free up if you turn off the phone with the usb in place, but couldn’t swear to it
