I flashed my samsung galaxy fit with the cynogen mod 7.1 following the steps in a youtube video and got it working ..then suddenly all the apps started force closing so i decided to reflash my phone .i went into clockwerk recovery and formated everything system,data,cache,dalvik cache,wipe data/reset,cache partions and then isntalled cm7 again but the phone boots back to the old cm7 only ...the one with the force close issues ....it is the old one because the lockscreen gestures and the wallpaper i had set are still the same....so how do i completly format my phone ? and install a fresh copy

if you want to start fresh again, do this:

1. boot into recovery
2. wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, also wipe user data (in recovery)
3. flash cm7 again (in recovery)
4. reboot device.

NOTE: You're going to need the google apps .zip(it contains the market and allows you to link your gmail to your phone) as well but you can get that after you freshly install cm7.

If you need any further help let me know.

I did everything ..but still the same ...the old cm7 is booting ..i even flashed a stock rom on the phone which removed the clockwerkthemod but phone is stuck in the screen displaying samsung logo . after this i tried the cm7 again thinking that removing the clockwerk might have removed any backup files that it might have created ...but again it goes back to the old cm7 .....   i know it is old because after install it never asks to regester a gmail id and all.

Thats because you need to download google apps .zip in ROM manager or the internet. Now google apps .zip should be on your sd card, and then boot into recovery and flash it then it will ask you about linking up your gmail account with your phone, it also gives you the marketplace to download apps. But before you download google apps .zip from ROM manager you need to go into the market and download superuser to get permission from ROM manager to download google apps .zip.

NOTE: you need to download the google apps that matches your version of gingerbread, if your using a newer version of gingerbread like 2.3.7 then google apps 2.3.5 works fine which should be the latest one.

ok all you need to do is make sure that you have your cm7 .zip file and gapps .zip file is on your sd card. Now do the following:

1. boot into recovery
2. Wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and wipe user data (in recovery)
3. NOW flash your cm7 .zip first, then flash your gapps .zip second(in recovery)
4. reboot device
5. you should be able to link up your gmail and you should have the marketplace.
6. download superuser from the market
7. that should fix you up

Well if nothing works find the official RUU for your phone to put you back like it was when you first got it. You will have to reroot your phone and flash your cm roms, I've had to that before as I couldn't boot into recovery. But it worked

you should root before cwm recovery gets installed. I'm not sure if rooting after cwm would work but it sounds possible to give it a try.  If not, then i would use the official RUU rom you have to redo it then root your phone first then install cwm recover.
