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.

Evo Shift Problem

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.

[Q] Nexus can not find my media, what could it be?

PROBLEM SOLVED
Im using custom rom Androxide 1.2.1 and im having trouble to find any media in my Google apps. I cant find any old images in gallery (although I can find newly taken screenshots.).
And I cant find any music at all i Google Play Music.
I CAN see my stuff on SDcard using Root Explorer and on PC.
I have noticed that android.process.media FC's after bootup. And I belive it has something with that to do, but I cant figure out why or how...
This problem seems to only occur on this Androxide rom, all other roms are OK.
I have tried reboot, full wipe, flash rom again after full wipe, change kernel, fix permissions, connect USB storage - disconnect - and reboot, and I have tried to google it.
No luck.
I have now problem with ALL roms im trying. I have been flashing different roms all day and have only had success like 2 times getting media to be found in Gallery and Music app (no problem in explorer apps).
I have no longer fc's on start up.
-Im not sure if its supose to be like this, but after flashing a rom in CWM Recovery the SDcard gets stuck in mounted mode. I get "error unmounting /sdcard!" when trying to unmount it. Before flashing rom after the data wipes I can mount and unmount as normal.
Also when plugging out the phone from USB transfer mode the USB-logo is still in notification bar for a while, and then the phone says that USB is connected altough I just disconnected it...
Is there something wrong with the phone?
I will attach some screenshots and I hope someone friendly can help me out!

Have you tried clearing data for you Music and gallery under Apps?

Yes I have.

You can also clear data for 'Media Storage', but this could erase some things (I've seen default ringtones being erased). Not sure the whole extent of doing this.

Run rescan media from the market.

I have tried it, it does not work. Thanks for ideas though!

I ran into the same issue with media process fc's and the phone did not recognize any of my media files from the SD Card.. I solved it by backing up all the important files to my PC: pictures, music, TiBu folder, etc... Wiped (reformatted) the SDCard, wiped/factory reset, reflashed the ROM. Restored my apps from TiBu. Copied back my pictures and other files back to the SDCard. Everything worked fine after that.
I think after a while, the SDCard gets so bloated with lots of files causing the media scanner to take a long time to scan the SDCard, thus the out of memory exception.

+1 on the above....
Start fresh all over again.
Get rid of all the unnecessary junk.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G

I was hoping this was my last way out, but it makes sense. Backing up SDcard now...

Problem solved
formated sdcard and moved my backup back to it, flashed a nice rom, and now it shows all my media again!
Thanks [email protected]!

Sorry man...
..i have the similar problem to be not able to start ,it freezes,i can start in recovery,but trying to mount the sd card,the reply is "e: can't mount /sdcard/"
i ìd like to try the format of sdcard,but : first of all,i must be able to restart at least one more time,to backup all my file,and then,the question is..after formatting it,how can i reflash a new rom?usually i copy them on the sdcard,and then ,bootin in recovery,i install it with the option ' install zip from sdcard'..but after a format,how to copy it?

[Q] boot loop on galaxy mini (did clear /data)

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?

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

actually even i m facing the same prob.but try booting without sim it will i think..but i dnt noe how to get it working witha sim on

maybe this procedure will fix problems

Complete wipe/rebuild possible?

I've been experiencing some performance issues on my TF101 for a while now. The tablet would freeze for a few seconds, and them resume normal operation. I don't believe it's an application issue as this is happening on a regular basis, and what seems like a pretty set interval. I can be playing a game, and the game would pause for a few seconds and resume. I could be using the browser and it I would be prompted with a message saying the browser is not responding and to wait or kill it. I always pick wait, and it starts working fine again after a few seconds.
I am using Rogue XM Recovery 1.3.0 (CMW-based Recovery v5.0.2.7) and the latest version of Revolver. I've tried reloading the cache/dalvik-cache and reloading the ROM, but the problem isn't going away. Is there a way to do a complete reinstall from a blank state? I see in the recovery menu there is a "Wipe data (factory reset)". Does this get rid of EVERYTHING, including my ability to boot into recovery to install the ROM?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the noob question.

The data wipe will not remove any of your personal data on the storage area/SD card. So, downloaded files should be intact. To be safe, backup your files first. I have done this many times and my files have always remained safe, from any of the format types.

1) Download superwipe script from android revolution HD thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17202357
2) Download TWRP recovery( because cwm 5.x.x.x doesn't recognize micro SD)
3) Download latest jelly bean build
4) Format your micro SD card and Place all of them in one folder
5) Go to recovery and run superwipe script, which will wipe everything from your tablet.
6) flash twrp
7) Restart and go back to recovery and you should be in TRWP menu , select wipe and wipe everything (internal memory, external memory, cache, data)
8) Flash the ROM of your choice and flash gapps, wipe dalvik/cache and restart
You should boot into latest ROM without any issues...
