3If "none of them worked", then it's likely the card is faulty, in which case nothing we offer can help. – user535733 Sep 10 '22 at 15:06

Flash drives/cards tend to go "read only" if the inbuilt controller detects media malfunction above a (by manufacturer) predefined level. – Hannu Sep 10 '22 at 15:18

Can you test on another computer & OS? – FedKad Sep 10 '22 at 15:19

If your SD card has a switch on the side, make sure it's not in the "Lock" position.
Otherwise, I'd try sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/mmcblkop1
You might need to run sudo fdisk -l first to identify the drive location, as "mmcblkop1" might change if you needed to unlock it.
But like user535733 said, it could very well be the card if nothing is working.

I tried it, and it have shown this :
mke2fs 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) /dev/mmcblk0p1 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!– Isaac Vinícius Sep 10 '22 at 16:32 -
