Unfortunately not - the problem with flash memory is that it has so many uses and then it goes bad. The card is split into lots of tiny pages and if one of these is written to too many times then it become bad.
What it looks like is happening is that too many pages are dying and so the card detects this and flicks into read only mode so that say if it's a camera with your holiday photos on so that they're still accessible.
The biggest issue with microSD cards is that they're tiny, so it's difficult to fit in extra memory and fancier controllers to cope with this - basically some of the more expensive cards (i.e. Sandisk Extreme) have wear levelling and error correction to help cope with this.
What would happen there is that the camera thinks it's writing to one section but the card itself redirects it to a less used area to try and balance it out (i.e. wear levelling). The card itself keeps a map of what is actually where and how many times it's been used.
The Sandisk Ultra don't have this capability and it's why you hear of those going bad in dashcams too - there was a time when loads of those were dying but that died off quite a while ago. Again a bad batch caused lots of noise everywhere.
It could just purely be that Transcend have had some memory chips with a lower yield used in some microSD cards and that is why they're all barfing so quickly. Alternatively maybe a software update to the controller which has a bug.
The thing is the cameras with microSD cards don't expect to see them go into read only mode as unlike full size SD cards they don't have the little toggle switch at the side, and when the card does die it causes carnage because the camera is sitting waiting for writes to complete, fills up it's internal memory and then chokes until it can flush the data to card. Because it can't write the data, it ends up looking like it's locked up.
If you had specialist hardware then you may be able to hook up to the controller in the card and maybe do something in there, but to be honest with the time and effort involved in that you could buy loads of brand new cards, all with their own warranty
