I rooted my Prevail 4-5 months ago and everything's been going fine,Ive been looking into partitioning my sd card and took it out today to put it in my computer to make sure it was all backed up but after I put it back my titanium back up went whack and superuser access wouldn't be granted.The prompt box wouldn't even ask,it just would freeze. After restarting it a few times it wouldn't go past the Samsung Prevail screen.I tried to restore CWM backup that i had done recently and it says "error while formatting/system!".And now it wont mount system or sd. I had seem many threads saying this has happened to them but there different phones so i didnt think the fix was the same.Since i am new to all this i am nervous i really messed it up and bricked it.Please if tell me there's someway to fix this! Can someone please help me.

Prevail-GingerbreadFF19,model-sph-m820-bst,CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.7
 
Have you tried using Odin to reinstall a rooted (or even factory) image? Odin is the alpha and omega when it comes to Samsung devices.
If Odin can't fix it, then its truly broken.
 
I was in the process of trying to having issues having my phone show up in odin. Thats what im in the process of trying to figure out now.It wont show up in my computer but im almost sure it was in debugging mode.

USB debugging doesn't matter in downloading mode.

If the phone is in downloading mode and its not showing up in Odin, its probably one of a couple of things.
- the drivers aren't properly installed
- the usb cable you are using isn't capable of transferring data
- the USB port you are using its recognized by Odin (I have had trouble with USB hubs before)
- your data/charging port is damaged and will no longer transfer data (less likely but not impossible)
