Then, you will be able to flash another ROM. This might take a couple tries, but if you want more personalized assistance, you can PM me and I will help in finding the problem. Most likely, it was just one of the OEM's that caused the problem. I don't use my device, except for helping people here, and testing beta software, so I can be without it, for a while with no problem. This is not something that you can do as easily, if it is your only phone. Feel free to PM me.

So let me clarify. The ROM flash did not fail. It said it flashed successfully. My problem is that it doesn't boot into the new ROM, it just hangs on the bootup screen. I did put mu phone in bootloader mode but when I tried to reflash it gave me a connection error. I will try all of the suggesiton posted here and post my results. Thanks for all the help!
