    So, a word to the wise - make Nandroid backups when testing new things, eh?

    Well, its like the fifth theme I have uploaded on metamorph, so its not really new to me. My last backup was like 12 hours ago, but I have done a lot to my phone since :(

    my bad

    I know what you mean - I have not made a backup since I installed BB, but I was all about to go and install an evilBoot.img to give me the old 1100 MHz....

    Live and learn, I suppose. I know I will continue to take the time to backup from now on....if MetaMorph can do this by just loading a theme, then just about any change we make can....

    yeah, seriously. If i thought that was a possibility, I would of spent the 3 minutes to backup. just didnt expect such a simple task to go so wrong. :(

    what if you cant get out of your boot loop? cant even get into recovery.... weather it be clockwork or sp..

    battery pull after pull, holding x and power gets me into to the same boot loop..

    ehhhh

    Have you tried holding down the volume and camera buttons on reboot?

    At that point I was able to reboot again and it loaded my previous installed ROM.
