Why is my USB storage not being recognized and why cant i access my storage pics? I need access and says device is not supported try formatting🤔 Like **bleep**? Also still not able to upload to U8i fr. DO I NEED to Get a Lawyer?

Put it on the device it was originally encrypted on and select the locked key or an option menu then remove encryption or decrypt. I am not sure how your interface looks on your device. You can search the internet for step-by-step guide with device specific information.

I am ,but I did get it to work for like 15 min.😊

Still does not mean the card did not go bad.  That's what happens.  Things work one minute and not the next.  Ever had a light bulb blow out?

The card is still working on other devices.

You stated that you encrypted the card.  If you can access it on another device, decrypt it on one of those devices or transfer the data on the card to the device and then add it back to another card and reformat the card.

Just because it used to work, does not mean it works now.  Cards, hard drives, flash drives all are subject to failure.  If you formatted the card on a newer device, it may be in the wrong format for your model phone.  Newer devices use a different file system, which may make cards formatted on those devices incompatible with older devices.

However, that being said, if it is working on other devices, perhaps autoblocker got turned on.  Go to Settings/security and privacy and check to see if auto blocker is on or off.  Make sure it is off, or you won't be able to see or transfer data via the USB port.

Do you have maximum protection turned on in security settings?
