HTC EVO Shift, wiped data, no back up - EVO Shift 4G General

Lastnight.... I made a HUGE mistake! I wiped all data on my HTC Evo Shift! I could not get it to go to ##3282# screen so I was messing around doing hard reset and such..... and made a big mistake. There are no back up files and I am a total noob at this.... Is there anyone that can help ??

Were you on an aosp or sense rom? (I'm guessing sense)
Are you rooted? Did you wipe the entire rom from your phone?
Have you tried ruu'ing or flashing a rom?

Well when it goes into the master screen.... where you wipe data, it has a name, teamwin..... anyway, I have not flashed it, but was trying to. Thing is, after I wiped, I could not figure out how to get the new rom installed. I wiped everything I have an SD card but having problems with loading anything off the sd card to install ROM, plus I am not even sure the ROM I have works being I downloaded it off the net.

What rom are you trying to flash?
If everything is already wiped, all you need to do is install a rom for the evo shift (go have a look in the dev section) and everything should be swell again?
Are you having problems mounting your sd card onto your computer?

Actually, there is no guide there as to the flashing part, unzipped file to SD card.... but not sure what to do now. Placed it in the phone.... and went to I guess it would be called root menu where you install and what-not.... But like I said, no real guide to the flash itself. The origanal idea was to get it on boost mobile network, but ##3282# was not working which led me to this point. Maybe you know a better guide for the flash??

to flash the rom you don't unzip it.
Leave it as a zip and install it from your recovery by selecting it in your recovery

Thats because the RUU has NONE of the fixes that damageless had put in to make things work like they should. Try flashing it.
You need a custom recovery again first, and maybe busybox and some other stuff...

just download his newest ROM. name it update.zip
put it on your sdcard (root location)

then flash (apply: update.zip)

[Problem] Phone boot loops.

ok so 2 things really.
i can only get 1 nandroid back to work. the nandroid is of stock root so this isnt a huge problem. but i want to flash roms lol. i was thinking maybe it was a2sd? flashing any rom causes a boot loop. its weird. i RUU'd once but now the program doesnt see my phone and it wont boot into Hboot. Comp see phone and Fresh Kitchen see the phone oh and cmd promp too so idk about that either.
i also dont know where the recovery image is stored on the phone it self.
so if any one can help with these things ty.
format c:, that should take care of your boot loop problem.
Don't do what the guy said... you'll screw your Windows install. First, just don't use a2sd until you can get everything sorted out.

I would say to do a full wipe (cache, dalvik cache, data, and reset to factory setting) and reflash the rom & kernel combo of your choice. Also update your radios to the latest and then update your profile under menu\settings\system updates. This should get the phone up and running better and stop the need for constant reboots. As for the widgets saying "problem loading", I get that as well and I think it is due to moving the widgets in question to your sd card. If you put them back on the internal memory of the phone that shouldnt happen anymore. If you are worried about taking up to much internal memory with widgets just set up the aps2sd and you will be able to put more of your apps on the partioned portion of your sd card and save more internal memory. Let me know if you have any questions. Hope this helps. I would like to save your EVO and not make it a chew toy for anyone!
I agree with adam, try a complete wipe, even flash calkulin's format all.zip (search for it) and flash the latest radios and re flash cyanogen. You'd be amazed at what horrors can come from not wiping the dalvik and cache. Speaking of which, try out amon ra recovery if you already haven't.
Sent from my hand.
I agree with Adam1422. It sounds like you need to do a full wipe and clean install. Do not use Titanium/Launcher/ADW/anyotherprogram backups. Save files like pictures, music, documents off your SD and format the card. Do not reuse settings or data from programs. Go into it like you just bought the phone. That will probably clear up all of your issues.

Not if you do your due diligence, read up on how to do it and then perform the steps carefully without rushing. We were all n00bs once, my friend. Sure there's some tension when rooting for the first time, but there's one hell of a rush when it works. You'll be fine.

Not that I can think of, man. Good luck. Come back if you need help.
you are in the right forum to fix your phone...
it is not the phone.. but I agree with others.. you need a fresh setup done.
or even try a different ROM...
the hard part has been done for you.. ROOTing...
you need to go learn about the ROM you like... and how to install it.
learn about: wipe, recovery, nandroid backup, ROM, ...
this needs to be learned anyways for your life with EVO, because you wanted it rooted.
ps.. to fix this.. you are going to loose all your data and put your phone almost back to stock form. dont worry.. contacts and calendar should be backed up to google if you told evo to do so.

Definitely make sure before you go flashing ROMs and stuff you do a nandroid backup.
Step-by-step instructions for how to do this, plus flash ROMs and stuff, can be found here:
http://htcevorooting.x10.mx/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
Ask your friend what method he used to root your phone, plus check which recovery manager you're using (reboot your phone into recovery, it should say which manager it is. If you're still running CyanogenMod there should be an option to do this if you choose reboot instead of shutdown when holding the power button.)

In the middle of rooting

I obtained root and rebooted so I could wipe and flash the Syndicate ROM. I had it on my SD Card (at least I sure thought I did). After wiping, I choose to flash a zip file from the SD card, and the ROM file isn't there. Now I can't boot, I can't apply a ROM. What's my best bet here?

take out the sd card and just put it in another phone or on the computer and to the rom you want on it and then put it back in your phone
Did you check all the likely places? Sometimes I dl it to my phone and forget what folder it went to.
Since you have cwm its no biggie. Just power down as ^^ and 3 finger to your recovery.

BOOTLOOP

Hi guys, I flashed a jamal's 4.3 rom coming from omega's google edition rom and i did the usual stuff like I always have factory reset etc.. and i reboot the system and fix permissions as usual and my phone is now stuck on the omega's spinning boot up animation with the phone vibrating.
HELP!!!

It's a long alpha-numeric number that is associated with the file. Next time you download a rom look for it on the download page. When you down load a file the md5sum should match the original indicating a good download. There are apps that check the md5 and most file managers will show it in properties

If you've done the factory reset and that doesn't get you out I'm guessing the rom you flashed was a bad download. You made a nandroid backup before you flashed the rom, right. Boot back into recovery and restore it. Then re download the rom and try it again

Live and learn, I was afraid of that. You're probably going to have to use Odin then which will return you back to stock. And then start everything over again. Have you let the boot loop go for like 5 minutes. Sometimes it can take that long on first boot, but the vibration isn't normal.

Try flashing it again then. Do all the wipes first then flash it and then flash gapps. Did you flash the gapps package? I'm not sure what rom you're trying to flash but it probably requires gapps too.

gapps isn't on my phone so i cant flash it. i've flash it about ten times now and it won't work. it must be a bad download even though i flashed it before. after i flash the rom, it shows the boot animation of the rom i had been using before. werid huh? the only option i have now is to buy a micro sd card and put the rom on that and flash it that way. i really don't want to use odin.

The sd card is a good idea. You're going to want one anyway.

You're just going to give up? Seriously? It's really easy to flash stock fw with Odin. And also easy to root afterwards, to each their own.

What do you mean giving up? I'm going to wait until my microSD card comes and then I will transfer the zip file that way. I don't have time to fiddle with odin. Besides I don't even have a pc, i have bootcamp, which takes a year to boot.
