sync with PC to disable "read only" in properties of the folders, or what i do is create subfolders, and those won't be read only. so theres a pictures folder, and separate folders for organizing, ex:
caller I.D.
ME
my gear (guitars, PC shots, etc)
my dog
so forth and so on.
then change your camera settings to save into the subfolder. when you save pix or use a screen shot app you're gonna have to either change the folder settings or go in every once in awhile on a PC and move 'em. - 03-02-2009, 10:18 AM #4 Battery pull worked
I was having the same problem but I came across this thread and did the battery pull and it cleared off those read-only pics. Funny, it didn't work in the Verizon store when the salesman tried it. I guess the lesson is, try it more than once! Thanks.

for me, the easiest and fastest way to deal with this is to use mass storage mode, copy the media into a folder on your desktop, reformat card, then modify the media settings so everything has "read only" turned off in properties, then copy/paste back onto the memory card in the appropriate directories...btw, thanks for dredging this old thing up, lol!

I have a Blackberry Tour so I dont know if it applies to other Blackberrys but i was told to "wipe my handheld" I went to tools and selected Security Options then selected general settings and pressed my menu key and selected "Wipe Handheld" and all that does is wipe clean(Delete) your Media, SMS, Contacts, MMS, downloaded apps, and any third party things ..WARNING Before you actually attempt to do this PLEASE remove your micro SD card and dont insert it back into the phone until the phone is done restarting PLEASE save the Messages and Contacts by using synchronize on Blackberry Desktop Manager check the "synchronize organized data" and Synchronize it. This process takes 20 mins or so but is worth it. Once your done Wiping the handheld and it restarts place your Micro SD card back and synchronize your contacts back to your phone and your good..IM NOT A TECHINCAL SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE but this is the info one TECHNICAL SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE gave to me when I called in and it worked out fine. lol

a battery pull treats the problem for me, but it doesnt fix it. After pulling the battery and after a few syncs with my computer or just plugging it in, the files are back. However you can only see the thumbnail and when you click it, it isn't there. I have formatted my card yet it persists any suggestions.

Delete read only photos on Blackberry 9100
The battery pull worked for me. Be aware that the battery pull erases photo AND video files so be sure to save both on your computer before pulling the battery.
Here's what I did -
1. View the photo
2. Hit delete. Then a window came up that said read only, with a yes/no option to delete (when I hit yes, the photo still didn't delete).
3. Pull out the battery when the window came up
4. Put battery back on device and power on. - 12-01-2011, 02:57 PM #18
I tried Pulling out the battery but it didnīt work so... I deleted the folder named "camera" and also I created a new one... But before you delete that folder you must copy all your photos otherwise you will loose everything you've got... After making your backup create a new folder and Taraaaaan That's it... Problem solved... Cheers.
