Sorry, that's rubbish, there is no firmware on an SD card to do this.

That is factually correct (unlike the spelling).

As you say, they need binning, don't try to save them.

When they go read only, they are giving you a last chance to copy the
data off before they stop working completely.

 From experience you might get away with making read it r/w again a
couple of times, but it happen again much quicker, and soon the data
will either be completely scrambled or not accessible at all.
