so i followed instructons. Installed 2.5 radio, then installed the rom in recovery. Now when it reboots its going to OMFGB with the android pic and T3hh4xxor looping over and over. I can't even get it to boot into the system to get to clockwork recovery to get my nandoird backup. Help please!

thiis blows. I now have a bricked phone
Have you tried going into recovery from the bootloader? Might let you reflash or restore the previous ROM you were on.

I can't even get into recovery since the phone doesn't go past the intro unfortunately.
Try this... While power is off hold volume down and press power to get into bootloader. Then press volume down to choose recovery, select and boot into recovery.

Once you are in recovery, open the mounts and storage and format Data. Then reboot .

I did exactly what you said, which I was able to select my nandroid backup I made last night. However now I go to power on the phone and it does nothing. I can't boot into Hboot or anything. and I had it on the charger the last couple hours. So now its officially a brick. I have no idea why its not powering on. I might take it to verizon to see about a replacement?
well it seems you can't edit posts here. I had a tard moment and it looks like the sim card slot managed to slide out a millimeter or 2 and that cause the battery to not lay 100% flat. I was able to boot the phone and had no service so I flashed to the 1.13.605.7 radio that came over on the 7/8 ota which I was previously running and now I still have no service. Any ideas on this one? I am thankful for the help. Much appreciative.
I just noticed another thing odd. For the heck of it, I tried using the LTE OnOff app to try and go into CDMA auto (PRL) to see if I could get just 3g and when I select it, it doesn't change from CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto which has never happened. Idk if that helps at all but I found that weird.

With all AOSP Roms at this point, you need MR2+ radios for you to get service. You need to flash a radio that came with a gingerbread leak in order for any service at all to show up. I hope this helps :)

you should be able to edit your posts....
I don't see where to edit but i have an update. I nice guy on the andirc helped me out. we dont know why i lost service when i used my nandroid backup but he got me through getting OMFGB on my phone. I'm setting it all up now. I can breathe a huge sigh of relief
Glad everything is working out for you, good luck
