I am trying to recreate a user mysite, but all I get is a 404. I added a costum my site using http://sharepointologic.blogspot.pt/2013/04/branding-sharepoint-2013-my-sites-with.html feature stapeling, but the my site in question was already created, i deleted the my site of the user via site collection delete, but now the site does not recreate itself, instead it points me to a 404 page.

Besides deleting the site collection you also must clear a value in the User Profile!
- Navigate to the User Profile Service in Central Admin (Manage Service Applications),
- Click "Manage User Profiles"
- Find the profile of the user by searching
- Click on it and select "Edit User Profile"
- Find "Personal site:" and empty the field
- Find "Feed service provider defined identifier" and empty that field as well
- Click "Save and Close"
Now, when the user tries to access his/her mysite, a new one will be created

1Hi Robert, I did all that, still getting 404 errors and page is not created... no clues of what else to do next May 2, 2014 at 14:03
I would try migrating the MySite using a third-party migration tool free trial to another location within the same site. Then I would delete the MySite in order to be able to create a new one and migrate the content back.
Pretty much all the 3rd party migration tools out-there offer free trial (Sharegate, Avepoint, Metalogix etc.) that would partially or completely allow you to do just that. You can simply browse SharePoint migration and you will have a large number of tool trial to choose from.

Thanks for your reply, since i am still setting this up, I end up deleteing the mysites and doing it all again with positive results. I only had 3 users with mysites but this is for 1500 users. May 5, 2014 at 13:34
You need to delete the Personal Site from the User Profile dropdown.
- Click "Manage User Profiles"
- Find the profile of the user by searching
- Click on it and select "Delete User's Personal Site"
- Click "Ok"
