I used Unrevoked to root and reflash my FROYO and it was fine for about a year. Then the USB port started giving me problems and it became impossible to charge my phone. Sprint gave me a new Evo 4g with Gingerbread. I was able to use Revolutionary to get S-off but have had no success getting the superuser zip on my SD Card. I tried extracting it to my f: drive (not in any of folders) but when I boot to recovery and try to update from my sd card nothing happens. No Superuser!!
The only files or directories I can see on the sd card are these (Over the past few days I've seen other files on the SD card after doing factory resets/erase sd card but still couldn't find Superuser):
-Android >>>data
-Lost.Dir
-META-INF >>>com
-media >>>audio
-rosie_scroll
-rssreader >>>predawn
-system >>>app
>>>bin
Should superuser be in these files?
I suspect that the sd card might be the problem because this is the same card I had on my previous FROYO phone which I rooted. Is it possible that the

Download that zip with the default browser application or opera. Then, make sure that the zip is in the default download folder named "download". Boot into recovery and flash the zip file located under the "download" folder. There is no need to extract the zip file at all.

I have the MyTouch 3G with the Cyanogen Recover 1.4.
I had the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.7 with no problems. I tried applying the Enoch theme 1.4.7 and it put my phone in a boot loop. I tried factory wiping. I don't have access to any of the cyanogenmod zip files on my SD card because the Cyanogen Updater doesn't put it on the root directory of the SD.
So is there a way to fix this? Get back to any build of the phone to work? Can I access the SD card if I connect it via USB to my PC? PLEASE HELP!!!!

i don t know if I undersoot you fully.BUT>>>> sometimes the SD card plays crazy,or get dammaged easy.In case you see the files on a computer but your phone is unable to read them is no big problem.If your phone is in bootloader mode and stucked there,it is a bit bigger problem.Have you ever applyed the hard reset ???It helps a lot.After that the SD card recognized by the phone as memory card2.So the phone is looking for the simple name SD MMEMORY.Or sd card.This is just matter of time.You give a name ending sd crad.bat and you can erase this bad sector data.In this case you might loose the program and your important data with it.BUT>>> you save sd card,and other files on it.
If you can t make it work coz your phone is in boot loader modus,than you need professional help.And a new rom update.
helos * hopr helped somehow*

You can enable usb mode in Cyanogen's recovery image by connecting the usb cable, dropping in to the console and typing (without quotes) "ums_enable" move your ROM and when you're done "ums_disable"
then "reboot recovery" and reflash.
If you don't have a computer you can use the console to my the files.
mount /sdcard <- Mounts the fat32 partition
ls <- See what files/folders are in the current directory
cd nameoffolder < change directory
then once you're in the folder where the ROMs are stored (cm-update, I believe) you can either move or copy them to the root.
use 'ls' again to find the filenanme of the ROM you want to copy/move..
cp name-of-rom.zip /sdcard <- to copy the ROM to the root, or use 'mv' to move the file.
EDIT: I am an idiot. You're on a MyTouch so you can't use the console in recovery. In that case connect your phone to your computer (which has the sdk setup with drivers) and type the commands I stated about after 'adb shell'
i've tried to put numerous android froms on my htc hd2 memory card root folder but only one seems to work (frg83d v1.8) the others dont even drag and drop
the memory card usually stops responding or it gets stuck during the transfer
anything i missed?
Are you extracting to your desktop first from the zip file? I have to do this step first before you can slide it onto sd card.
From zipped file extract to desktop or desktop folder then slide unzipped folder onto sd card.
Hope that helps!!

What are your SD card specs? Did you do a clean format before? Searching XDA I've noticed that some people need a new card and or didn't format properly. Are you trying to copy files through USB?
I had a problem with my EVO, here is what happened and how I fixed it.
I rooted my HTC EVO 4g using Unrevoked, it worked fine, then I decided to flash a new rom, followed all the steps and I backed up my stock and wipe data/factory reset and Davik, now my phone doesn't read the sd card, is not even connecting throw usb, not even for charging.
Took the sd card out and did a FAT32 format (4 times already), downloaded the new zip to it and still not reading.
Can't do a restore because I re-formated the sd card and is not reading anyways.
I have another SD card and same thing happens.
As soon as I check install zip from card it reads
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
Besides that my computer wasn't reading my phone and my phone wasn't reading my SD card.
I asked and got no answers and thats why I decided on posting this.
Here is how I fixed my EVO, that doesn't mean that is going to fix yours, but is a start.
Also I am not responsible for whatever you do with or to your phone.
For everything I put on SD card I used SD card reader
A) I went to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243
followed instructions for only SD card fix, because I couldn't use ADB.
B) Downloaded the most current RUU here http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/RUU/ to my computer, then to SD card, went to bootloader, flashed PC36IMG, now my phone is back to stock with out USB connection, doesn't even charge with phone turned on but at least I was able to restart into a ROM. (If you have the same problem that I had, turn phone off and charge it, you don't want to run out of battery in the mids of all this scramble.
C) Download Astro, terminal emulator and root explorer from Market.
D) Download Z4root.apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953 and put it on SD Card
E) Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045 and download hboot_2.xx_soff-VX.zip to computer, open it with 7zip then I put the files from step 4 on sd card, if you ignore the part that says adb push, the next is the location of the file on the zip you just opened, got to pay attention to rename the zip with correct name. The last part that says flash_image /data/local/ has to be done manually, just make sure flash_image is on the SD card.
F) Put SD card and battery back, turn phone on as normal, it will boot into rom, open Astro and search for Z4root.apk, long press on it and select application installer, install and don't open.
G)Go to Root explorer, press Mount R/W, select SD card, search for flash_image,
long press, select move, arrow back, select data, then select local and paste image there.
H)On step 6 I couldn't get Terminal to do the first part of backup but got the second part "busybox sed -n '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,$p' /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/rsa_OEM.key"
I) After step 7 is done, pull battery and reboot into bootloader, and install PC36IMG as described and at this time I had S-OFF so I rebooted into ROM not to recovery and plug USB cable to computer, USB worked fine so at this point I have many options to finish job.
J) I used after last reboot universal auto root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448&highlight=xHausx, run it and done, now I keep flashing different roms.

ok i'm using taboonay 2.0 with Thor's 3.0 kernel. I can see all the files on my SD card through root explorer and if i take the card out and hook it up to my pc. My question is why when i plug my iconia into my PC i can see the card, but can't see any files on it? Wasn't 3.2 supposed to fix this or it something on my end? haven't tried to reformat it cause it isn't a big issue to me just trying to figure out why.
i have sorta similar issue. I can access sdcard in root explorer or other apps, but if i pop it out it get interesting. I can still browse the sdcard contents in any file explorer even though i am holding it in my hand. Also i have not been able to access the sdcard from the latest clockwork recovery. The only directory there is LOST. So i take it to the pc and same thing, only the LOST directory, pop it back in the tablet, fire it up, browse to /sdcard directory, all the files i have downloaded are right there still along with that LOST directory......
So i cant flash anything now. Tried reflashing CWR from the Acer Recovery Installer, no progress. Tried formatting sdcard on pc using the tool in the sticky, same thing, cannot access sdcard in CWR.
Help.
**update: so here's what i found, apparently there is a directory called sdcard on my tab that is actually local system memory. It has all my downloaded files in it. I mounted the tablet with USB to my pc and moved one of the files to the sdcard(which is empty by the way, everything is going to the local ram for some reason) and rebooted into recovery and then it showed up in CWR!
So all this time my tablet has been syncing my google music beta music for offline use, around 10 gigs of it, and it dumped it all on the local memory so now im almost out of ram.....with an empty sdcard.....great
I believed you guys are having this same problem...please see this thread about directory naming structure...etc

So here is my situation...
I would like one flash one of the new ICS roms and have run into an annoying problem.
I created a directory on the SD card called "Root", and downloaded the rom and placed it in the directory. I then rebooted into Recovery and after selecting update from zip on SD card, the file can't be located.
The only file in the Root directory is the first ROM I flashed and gaaps.
I can't seem to locate those files from Es file manager though.. Thoughts??

From recovery your sd card is called SD CARD.
from within say file manager your sd card will be in mnt/external_sdcard.
Some sd cards has a issue being read by cwm recovery. Often formatting the card in a Android phone or with sd format app. if k downloaded the rom file from within windows . In android file manager long tap on the file and click properties . check to see if the file is names xxxx.zip.zip
if you have stock recovery . the file must be on the root of the external sd card NOT in a folder at all. But your message makes me think you have cwm installed . if you are sure none of the above is the issue. Try re download the rom of your choice and try again.
Good Luck

Erica is right. When you copy your file to EXT SD Card, you should copy it straight to the card. NOT put it in some folder. This will make it easy for your Recovery to find.
This is the basic method. Depending on which recovery you use (RA or CWM) there are other locations you can use as well (USB Drive, Internal memory) but best to get familiar with the basic method first.
This worked for me... Thanks.
