Did you make a backup of your stock, rooted rom before applying the LexLite rom? If you did, you might want to try to do a Recover to the stock rom at this point.

ok so try another ,,,you may have had a corrupt download or something,,,many different variables could have affected your x and gave you problems,,,

Pretty sure you need to wipe before you install the new ROM.

+1. I've had to do the same thing. When i tried darkslide mine did the same thing and i went back to stock and redownloaded darkslide and it worked fine. Just don't get in a hurry and forget to make a clean backup of the stock rom. And delete data and cache before installing a new rom. when installing it says go back to stock and perform a factory reset data wipe before installing Liberty 1.5 which is probably not a bad idea to do before installing any rom.
