So I tried to pull out the SD card, I pushed it in, it clicked and popped out a bit, and I grabbed it and it would not come out, no matter how hard I pulled, is this supposed to be this way?

i would try pushing it back in and see if it holds or not then try to release it again. it should come out far enough just to slide out.

Yeah try this. The way its supposed to be is you just push in and it just slides right out

My SD card was slightly stuck after ejecting it. May have come out at a slight angle. I had to give it a tug, but it came out. If you simply can't remove it, I would take the phone to an AT&T store if you have one nearby, and get a replacement. You should be able to do that within the first 30 days of obtaining the phone, on the basis of a mechanical defect.
Ok, I wiggled it a bit and it came out, now I have another issue, the SD card won't stay in. It won't click.

Try using a credit car to push it in further.
I've pushed it as far as it can go, it won't stay.
Uh oh. Try to get it in anyway you can and then take it back where you bought out and try to get a replacement

ive got an issue, i happened to drop my eris in a pool last night on accident. luckily it still works for the most part but i just came to find out that cant access my sd card but it charges just fine?? and my phone wont work in a call unless on speaker phone now... im really happy that it still works but not having access to my sd is kinda stifling being rooted, has this happened to anyone else?, cuz im really debating sending it back under its warranty,im just thinking itd be an easy fix and maybe cheaper than an insurance claim....
any feedback would be great....

if ur phone is rooted ur warranty is void
Your SD card doesnt work cause the card itself is probably broken and the microphone shouldnt work cause its full of water. Try taking it all apart (remove battery, sd card, case back) and put it all in rice over night. maybe itll dry out more. best of luck!

yeah usb toggle thru recovery dont work either. im really suprised it still works aswell as it does, my past three phones have died from drinking too much liquid but they were blackberries, the Eris is pretty indistructable! thanks for your help guys...
I've bricked 4 Eris's. Rooted with custom recovery. I walk into the Verizon store, say it won't boot and walk out with a refurb. They don't really seem to care. The last time the guy even gave me the link to the 1-click root app. They *may* check the water damage indicators on yours, but I wouldn't bet on it. Worth a shot at least.

id do that if i had a brick but mine is far from bricked; its just small minor problems that a good phone repair can do easily for proably alot cheaper.

Not that I condone such behavior, but they are relatively easy to brick... They'll switch it out free at the store. Claim it happened after the OTA.

Let the thing sit powered off to dry out. When I took my phone in for trackball probs they checked my water damage indicator.

Dood, call it in or take in. Lie to em, I'm on my 3rd, both before were rooted. first was a complete lie bc I was trying to get droid. But I banged it up after I got my replacement. I really don't care anymore about what's "right" especially for verizon. Use ur warranty..
Oh have you tried the sd card in another phone. That'll explain a lot if works or doesn't.

Greetings everyone. Reader for a while, but this is my first post, and unfortunately it's because I'm quite sure I should be preparing a burial plot for my phone unless someone can help.
Here's the situation:
I installed the Cyanogen Mod beta on my Vibrant and it was pretty cool, but I couldn't get passed the gps and video recording (I was warned, I know, but I wanted to try it anyway). This was not the first rom I had flashed, and was familiar with CWM and ODIN, so this was not a problem for me. I wanted to have something working so I decided to go back to the DeOdexed JL5 rom, which I was running before, so I went into ODIN to restore back to stock before flashing, and it hung up after clicking repartition. I pulled the battery on my phone, and when I went to put it into Download mode again, it wouldn't go into it. Hell, it wouldn't do anything.
How totally screwed am I?
the phone won't turn on?
try plugging first the usb then hold the volume buttons then put back the battery.
That would put it in Download mode. It won't go into that.
you can't put it into download mode?
Nope... =/

Yeah. Always did before I tried putting it in download mode out of some (probably irrational) fear that they would get wiped as well
There have been a handful of others recently who have had their vibrants in the state where they aren't booting, aren't even showing a charging icon when plugged in. Persistence is the key. The steps posted by iynfynity do work, even from your current state, according to the individuals who have found themselves in the same state lately, no power, phone doesn't respond to anything. You can find these posts around these forums here at xda. Keep trying, if you get frustrated, walk away for a little bit and try again later.
-Remove battery and all cards, have odin open, files loaded and ready to go.
-Plug in usb, holding both volume, pop the battery in
Again, persistence is the key, and a little patience doesn't hurt either.
I can vouch for that... I always used the 3 button combo and had this happen. I tried everything. I even have a replacement sitting here still in the box not opened. I tried 1 more time with just pulling the battery sim and sd card out, plugging in the usb to pc, held down just the volume buttons, plugged in usb to phone, put the battery in and right to download mode.
I'm keeping my old phone and sending the replacement back..This one just won't die... : )
Thank you, you lovely gentlemen. Persistence and patience was key. I'd pretty much given up all hope on it once I plugged it in and it wouldn't even pop up with the battery charge indicator.
I wish I was more patient because I already bought a Captivate, rooted, unlocked, ROMed it. Oh well at least now I have a backup phone.
Glad you got it back up at least. Hopefully your captivate wont start shutting itself off when your battery gets below 85%, as many others are plagued with, if it does though, you have your backup.

Getting this message for some reason, and can't find a resolution. Copying my important stuff off now, then will probably reformat with the phone.
It started when I put the card in the replacement 3VO I ordered, because my first one was acting funny. About half a day later it game me the SD message, (sent it right back). Ever since I put it back in my first one it's been giving me that message.
Anyone have any ideas? Is my SD actually just going bad? Is it a corrupt file? Something entirely different?
Thanks to anyone who can help me get this figured out. Been searching Google since, but haven't found anything really relevant to the Evo 3D.

Hard to say, but you're doing the right thing coping everything off and then reformatting. My suggestion would be to also reformat it in the phone too. If this still happens, try another sdcard in the phone so you know for sure if it's the phone or the card.
Ok. Just went through with it. Seems like it's good so far. Didn't format it on the PC, just the phone, then reset the phone, then copied only my original stuff back on. So far so good. I'll add another reply in a couple days stating whether or not it holds up.

i've had the same issue with an aftermarket class 6 8GB sdcard I used in my EVO for a year. my experience has been once you start getting errors with an sdcard, they are on their last leg.
i would look into getting a replace or have a spare, just to be prepared, as its rough modifying your phone w/o an sdcard! too bad there isnt a tool which could give us more detail on the life/reliability of the sdcard!
hope it all works out!
i had the same problem....i do not think it is the sdcard
i believe the software is forgetting parts of the sdcard and sending the error.
it happened to me on my 16gb class 10
also happened on my wife's evo 3d with the stock card.
FIX: only fix i found is to get all info off with your pc then format the card and load everything back on through the phone or pc.
if anyone knows more i would like to know.
So far so good here. Took everything off my card, formatted it in the phone, put my stuff back on, and everything seems ok. Seems like if you just take your card out and toss it in another phone that'll happen. Didn't have that issue between my Hero and this one, so I'm not sure what the issue was.

My Thunderbolt has just decided to completely crash at once and I was wondering if anyone here knew of any possible solution.
The charging port on my phone has broken so I cannot charge it or connect it to my computer. I took it in to Verizon to get it replaced and was told to put the factory rom back before they would replace it.
I didn't think that would be a problem until about 20 minutes later when my phone stopped reading my memory card. I have tried several different memory cards so I am sure it is my phone broken, not the card.
While at the Verizon store, the CS rep gave me another Thunderbolt to use to charge my battery with until I could get a replacement (I found this very strange) so I am able to at least charge my phone for now.
any ideas here?
Yea don't ever take a phone into a Verizon store and expect to get any real help. You're better off calling it in over the phone and letting them figure it out later than dealing with the retards at the stores. They know nothing most of the time and are a huge hassle.

Honestly, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is stick the memory card in a computer by putting it in an adapter or SD slot if your computer has one and then reformat it to FAT32. If your computer reads it, save your pics and videos first to the computer so that you'll have them. I had this problem before and it just happened in my back pocket. I'll never know what happened. Anyways... since you're rooted and everything is already installed to your phone, it won't hurt your phone at all by reformating the SD entirely via computer. Remember, if the computer will read it, its not a memory card issue... normally its a format issue and the phone reading it.
Once your SD is newly formatted, put it back in and immediately backup your ROM just in case.
You shouldn't have any further issues with it.
Proceed with the unrooting process. All those files that existed would pretty much needed to have been deleted anyways.

Roflmao. Still though. It is easier to deal with customer service when you return a rooted device because they don't get to see until after you get the new device so you have a chance to unroot before they know you're rooted.

Well with no turning on do you mean it does not boot into the Rom or is it not even going through your bootloader ? try to charge it and see if it responds
Um....sensitive micro electronics meets immovable object at high velocity....... something's gonna break....and it ain't gonna be the immovable object.......
The S2 does have internal storage....however it's not removable.....it also has a slot for a removable micro SD card...if that was in use at the time of collision, then *some* of your data *might* be recoverable...if not......
Well......next time, just throw a coffee cup or something, and mark this down to experience.
