Then about 15 mins ago i hit the power button and the phone says wait as it is setting up for the first time hard reset. WTF I have run about 50 maybe 100 roms over the past year and have never had something like that happen, which is pretty scary. I have seen guys say this has happened to them on other roms that i had no probs with, so hopefully this is a one time glitch or someone can chime in with why this has happened to them and any solutions for preventing this in the future.

I guess it's my turn to chime in. Been reading and staying up on this release. I had the exact same experience, bruceo, I have flashed MANY MANY times and NEVER had some of the issues we read about in these threads until....I flashed the 8/11 NRG in the car on a business trip. It was kind of a quickie and I did NOT flash to stock first. everything was fine; for a while...Then out of the blue I tried to put the phone to sleep with the power button and BAM hard reset. So, I'm thinking it's a fluke. So I re-setup everything and move on. Then I needed to soft reset, BAM, Hard reset. That was when I became a true believer in flashing to stock ALWAYS. I don't know if you did, but if not don't fear. Do the flash dance like everyone says and you should be good to go.
NRG...Nice ROM
Edit: Flashing to stock ensures that memory areas which contain things, IMPORTANT THINGS, are written in the correct place. So that they aren't overwritten incorrectly when you flash. If you search in this thread there was a very good explanation. Heck lemme go find it...
Well it was a compilation of posts, one from NRG, rootlinux and Psyki. When you flash to stock it writes not only the ROM but the RADIO as well and doing that ensures that all the bits are in the correct place. When you flash a non-stock ROM it doesn't flash the radio and can sometimes overwrite the...IMPORTANT THINGS!
