So I downloaded it off ROM Manager and now the phone won't go to the main screen. It's stuck in the "X" logo/icon.
What do I do to get this thing working again?

No rebooting, just taking greater than 20 minutes.
I am running the same rom. I let it go for about 20 minutes before I pulled the battery. Put battery back in and it booted up in about 5 minutes. I cleared caches on the second try. I did not clear anything before I flashed. I think that is where I messed up. After that I have had no problems. I don't have the best battery life, but I have crazy screen on time. I think it is just the way I use my phone.
Did you wipe everything? Describe exactly what happened.
Not everything, it had one box prechecked and I proceeded to install.
I mean like this...
"I went into Rom Manager, tapped to download it, the box that popped up said ____, I did _____, and then I saw ____."
Here's what I want you to do. Did you make a backup before flashing it? Do you have a backup on your phone?
I did do a back-up. That's all I can concretely say. I don't recall the exact steps I took installing the ROM.
Pull the battery, turn the phone off.
Hold down volume UP, volume DOWN, and power simultaneously. Let it reboot into recovery.
Let me know when you're there .
there
Now what? I hate to rush you, I have a friggin meeting in 5 minutes
Now, do your wipes. Wipe data, cache, dalvik, and then go to mounts and system and format system.
Yes, it's restoring from the backup I made for it today. Will I have to redo the Vicious JB ROM download?
No. I want the backup to be restored so I know exactly what you're playing with. Go to your meeting after the backup restores (reboot it) and then we can walk you through the manual installation.
Don't use ROM Manager unless you're doubley sure about each and everything. It's weird, but doing it manually is much, much more comforting .
Sounds good. I just bought it. Hate to have wasted the $$$ on it if I can safely install JB on it.
