nobody can help?
Its better to flash a rom manually. And defenitely need to make a backup before you flash anything.
You also need to download titanium backup. It back ups your apps.
Now you need to boot into recovery, wipe data, cache, go to mounts and storage, then format cache boot. And dalvik cache. Then you go to install from sd card and install the rom from there(which means you have to put the rom file on the root of your sd.) Download from the comp and do it.
You need to wipe everything before you flash a rom.
And please read before doing anything.

i know how to wipe the data, cache but i cant find the format cache boot and how do you put the rom on the root of the sd card sorry im a big noob at this :/
To format, you must go into mounts and storage and its in there. And since your on stock rom, you need to plug your phone into your comp via USB cable. A screen pops up on your phone, and set it to disk drive. Something should pop up on your comp, click on open files to view in folder, (if your on windows), then drag and drop. Don't drop into any folder. Just drop into main one. You obviously have to download the rom you want. There located in the developement section of this forum. I tried to explain as noobish as I can... I was once in your place.

for those who are sufferring similar problems (i got this a few times myself) go back to the bootloader (vol. down+power) do a factory reset and cache wipe, then reinstall and it should load fine.
Hello XDA Developers,
First off let me say thank you for all the information always found on your forums, however I've run into a snag with my phone (HTC EVO Shift 4g) and need some help. I was doing a factory reset of my device using the tool in the Clockwork Mod Recovery (v5.0.2.0) and I went to wipe some additional data off my SD card, and inadvertently chose to format the /system, and pretty much every directory in the storage menu, which I later realized I probably shouldn't have done as now I can't get my phone to boot. Where the snag falls into here, I had made a backup of all my data on my SD card but have misplaced my full backup made through the clockwork mod. When I try booting my phone it simply comes up with the white boot screen with the "htc" logo in green. I have tried about everything I could possibly think of to get my shift working again, since it won't fully boot, the only option I've been able to try have been trying to get a ROM to install from a .zip, but I keep running into errors, did I manage to wipe out some sort of critical data when I did those formats?? Any help you guys can offer me will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thank you in advance for your expertise and input on this.
NOTE: I have tried to download one of the STOCK RUU's that you guys have posted, I have yet to find one that will actually download or resolve my issue!
Sounds like you wiped and formatted everything.. Including your sd card.
Download a ROM to your pc - In clockwork go to mounts and storage - plug your phone into your pc and select mount usb. Transfer the ROM onto your sd card, unmounted your sd, wipe then flash.

Alright man all that happened was when you hit format system, you wiped the ROM from the phone, so download any ROM of choice go into recovery then mount as a storage device and transfer the ROM to the SD card, unmount then format system,data,cache and dalvik cache and flash the ROM and you will be fine

Ok but does anyone have a stock RUU Rom I can download to do this? I'd kind of like to revert to stock in this process and I can't find one that works properly, thanks!

Can you boot into clock work recovery? That's all you need.
I've been trying to load custom ROMs on my galaxy mini (GT-S5570) unsuccessfully for three days now. Every single custom ROM I try gets stuck on boot, with only the "android" characters on screen. Two cyanogen ROMs I tried display the cyanogen logo for a split second, then back to the "android" screen.
I'm using CWM 5.0.2.6. I've tried both gingerbread stock ROMs from samsdroid.com (Europe section). Both work perfectly (flashed from odin)
I've cleared data,cache,dalvik before and after each update.zip. Also, the boot really is stuck, I've been waiting 15 to 30 minutes on each.
Everything similar I got so far on various forums was pertaining to not clearing the user data...
Something that may be related: every time after I load a custom ROM, I can no longer use CWM to restore a backup - boot restores, system restores partially until CWM finally spits "Error while restoring /system". However, I have no trouble restoring the same backup after flashing a stock ROM. Looking up the error, I've read something about ext4 partitions, but it was not very detailed, so I'm unsure if it has anything to do with that.
Any pointers seriously appreciated
help, anyone?

OKay, try this rotation:
1. Backup your system , aslong u are able to do it
2. Wipe Data, and all other Folders (using advanced/format folder X , format Folder Y in CWM!
3. Flash your Rom u ilke
4. Never Wipe Data unless youre still flashing updates.zips!! Wiping cache is necesary! But never wipe data please aslong your are flashing packages which are bounded to the rom.
Hope i could help you.

Thanks for your help, Ropb.
Unfortunately, my CWM has no "advanced/format" option. Under the advanced menu, I have the following: "reboot recovery", "wipe dalvik cache", "wipe battery stats", "report error", "key test", "show log", "partition sd card", "fix permissions".
Following you description, here's what I tried:
1- Flash stock rom
2- install CWM
3- Wipe cache (using "wipe cache") ONLY
4- apply cyanogen ROM zip
It still get stucks on android...
Did I understand something wrong, or should I get a CWM version with the advanced format?
Sorry bro,
what i meant was in the section "mount and storage" or something,
there you can finde mount this mount that.
at the bottom u will find : Format this format that.
Make sure, your external SDCARD is out of the device before you format all parts.
Try it, and let me know.
Regards
Tried the manual format for data, cache and sd-ex, and combinations of those, still no luck... pretty much a dead end. I think I'll just use the stock ROM, as much as it saddens me not being able to tweak the interface
Thank you for your help, Ropb

I don't know which recovery you're using, but you'll need to pick the wipe internal storage option. As you've found out the factory reset doesn't touch your internal storage partiton. (even though one might expect it to)
