Changing the SD Card solved the issue? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, i'm new here but reading all of your threads is just confusing me.. there is so much conflicting information.
To begin, I bought my phone at the sprint store before i was even considering this thing called "rooting". I did the OTA update, didnt know any better at the time... however I did toast's root and I honestly have no idea if i got it to work or not but I was able to do the ad blocking thing and what not.....
I started having an Sd card error on my camera, telling me i had "insufficient rights" to the card...
and the video camera in Qik simply didnt acknowledge that there was a card at all and to insert one.
Now. I attempted the OTA, to fix the SD card, and i thought it worked at first but then it acted up again.....
Now i'm hearing this thing about Unrevoked?? if i have already done it toasts' way can i still run unrevoked or is it advised that i flash it back to stock rom and wipe all my data AGAIN....
anyways heres the funny thing...
i had an extra 8GB micro sd card from my Touch Pro 2, and I put in my EVO and formatted it... and.... now everything works fine....
my version is still 1.32.651.1
What should I do now? Since im not having any problems since i changed the card...
is there data on that card is necessary? or that i can just transfer over?
I dont want to perform the OTA again, but i know if i did it would answer alot of questions based on the result...
I need advice...

search site for Z4root and then plug Ascend into computer, mount SD card so it shows up as a storage device, copy Z4root to SD card, un mound SD card so device is back to just charging. Also very important, on the forums is step by step how to use Z4root including steps to follow. I have rooted 3 Ascends without a problem with the steps from the forums.

Head over to my site, MyAscend.org - there is a custom ROM called Icarus that has all the bloatware removed, apps2sd, OC kernal, and more. It's really to install, you will just need to use an older version of clockwork (not the one that is in ROM manager). There is full instructions, just go to the developers post about the ROM. he released this rom on my site, and its a very good one. My phone is soooo much faster now!!!
You can't have apps 2 sd on stock ROM btw.
rom
really didn't want to do the rom thing i guess i will just have to wait for the update from everything i have been searching supposibly it suppose to be out by end of month if not then i will do the rom deal i feel it would be pretty crummy if they dont do an update i have had cricket service almost since they started and this is the first brandnew phone i have bought from them cause it was a droid so if they dont fix i will be very and i do mean very upset with them so cricket lets get the ball rolling
2.1 doesnt support app to sd its one of my bigest complaints about this phone

[Q] rooted evo SD card issues

I have such a headache trying to search for the best solution to this issue...I know it's been a problem for many. My evo is rooted but I haven't done anything else. In a previous post I mentioned I don't have data service right now, and I was afraid to to do anything until I found out whether that mattered. Now that I know it doesn't, a new problem occurred that I need help with. After browsing through my SD on my PC, I noticed I couldn't install or uninstall from the market... and that my phone wasn't reading my SD. I read about people removing a file on their SD under android. secure, that would solve this problem... but my PC can't read my SD either. I'm thinking about a factory data reset.... I'm not worried about losing any apps or pics. I just want to make sure I don't mess up anything. Thanks in advance for guidance here.
Well if its not reading the card, the first thing you could do would be to go into recovery and then format the sdcard.

hard reset on rooted rom questions

ok, so I'm going to be selling my phone here soon and what i'd like to do is clear all of my items off the sd card by reformating it. I understand my backups will also be cleared off of it as well. My question is... once I'm on the rom I want and I do a reformat of the sd card that wont disable any of my rooting abilities will it? I understand it will remove the pc36img and all my stuff but if I'm on a rooted rom and I reformat the sd card will I will be able to go into recovery and perform a nandriod back up of the current rom I'm running as I normally would?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
p.s. also does anyone know how much the evo 3d will be if bought outright? Curious as to the answer because I was reading online it will be 499 however when I went into the local spring store the guy said 599....
thanks again!
Root will keep working fine.
thanks, and I will still be able to perform backups for the rom? kinda laymens questions but just being safe.
Yes you will
nvm............

[Q] MY SD CARD WONT MOUNT after data2ext installation!!!

Ok i posted this in q&a forums but imma put this on here too. ok so i wanted to install data2ext after having to re flash CM7 on my phone. so after i installed it at first it was working fine, but when i rebooted my phone, and tried to play music, install apps to my SD, etc, my phone wouldnt let me, i tried goin to storage, and my phone didnt show up! i tried hitting the format button on that page and that didnt work either, i have googled like a mad man for the last 3 days and nothing has worked
! please tell me someone has the answer to my horrible problem, i have a lot of vital things on there that i could never get back so pleaseeee!!!!! help me!
I know this isn't an answer (and it looked like you were getting some help in another thread), but rule #1 when doing anything with an sd card: Back it up first!
Have you tried removing the sd card and putting it into a card reader to see if that gives access to it?
Did you ever figure out a work around this, ogimnella? I've come into a similar problem.
@mojoffdawal no, unfortunately (and fortunately) i had to use a backup memory card, it is another data2ext guide that works (cuz i installed it on the backup) i will edit the guide soon as my pc fixes!
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

[Q] Please help!!!

Ok, so I have a my touch 3G slide. I bought my first one a year ago and it just had to be sent back for a hardware issue. I rooted it and LOVED it. So I get my new phone and root it. Difference is, it came with the new froyo, so it has not cooperated like the first phone. Here is my issue. I know it's rooted, but for the life of me I can't install a new rom! I tried rom mananger and it's like a dead fish. I can download a rom, but nothing happens when I try to install it. If I try from recovery, I get error messages. Like it won't read the zip files on my sd card. oh, and what happened to apps2sd??? I can't even find it in market now. Is my sd card bad? Do I need to unlock boot loader? Is it because I rooted with froyo? I even tried to unroot and i get the same error message. Something about image not found??? Pleased help! I've been searching for hours and have gotten no where.
I believe that you are not rooted. You can't root a MT3GS with froyo on it. You have to downgrade to 2.1 for it to be successful. Also apps2sd is not on the market because most devs don't agree with theirs apps being moved to the sd card so it became virtually useless. You could try the easiest thing which is to get the stock 2.1 rom and just flash it with recovery. Remember to put it on the root of the sd card or it wont be found.
