Root Stuck at splash screen after SD partition crash

Hi everyone, this is my first post but I have been lurking for a little while. I posted this on xda but no one has replied yet so let me try here too. I was able to unlock and root my phone (WFS European A510e running 2.3.5). I partitioned my 8Gb into 7Gb FAT32 and 1Gb ext2, and used Link2SD to free up some internal memory. All was well until about a month later when I began getting 'insufficient space' errors when trying to link new apps, even though it showed over 800Mb free.

And that is when I made the seemingly harmless move that set into motion the near demise of my phone! I tried to move a linked app to SD card. Immediately most apps force closed and displayed the 'missing app' android icon. Link2SD was gone so I couldn't try to undo it so I rebooted my phone but nothing changed. At start apps force closed again and a 'Damaged SD card' notification popped up. Being the cautious noob that I am, I had made a backup when I rooted the phone. I went into Hboot and through ClockWorkMod flashed the backup. When the phone rebooted it got stuck at the splash screen. When I put the SD card into a reader and plug it into the PC then the SD is visible for about 30 seconds before it crashes. I tried using MiniTool Partition Wizard to reformat the SD card. It says that it is completed successfully but when I remove and reinsert the SD card I see that it has not reformatted. The 7Gb partition seems fine. The 1Gb ext2 is 'unavailable'. When I try to format the SD card through CWM recovery then it says that no SD is found. I have cleared data, dalvik cache, and cache partition many times to no avail. I have also tried copying the backup copy from my PC to another SD card and trying to flash backup from that but I get a 'no files found' error.

I downloaded RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35 .3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed and RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.26.401.3_Radio_47.23e.35 .3038H_7.57.39.10M_release_261695_signed in an attempt to flash my stock ROM but when I try to open either RUU wizard I get a '5001' error.

And this is where I am now I'm so confused. I hope I haven't messed my phone up beyond repair. If anyone can help me figure this out I will be forever grateful!
 
I'm not sure what kind of a backup I did. It took me quite a bit of searching to find a guide that worked. I followed the instructions there to do a backup through CWM.
