Root Sapphire 1.0 - hung on first reboot

Start by turning your phone off. Then boot to Recovery (turn the phone on by holding X and Power) Then you want to plug your phone into a USB chord attached to your internet enabled computer.

Now navigate on your phone (volume moves up or down, power is back, Camera is select) to the "partitions menu" then all the way at the bottom "mount USB storage". Once you select that the usb drive will show up on your computer like it normally does.

Now head here and grab yourself a Standard Voltage Kernel of reasonable clock speed, save it to your phone.

now, on your phone navigate back to the main menu (power) and select "install zip from sdcard" ->"choose zip from sdcard"->select the Kernel you just downloaded and wait for it to flash and then reboot.

see if that fixes it
