Hey everyone,

I'm very new to all this and am afraid I may be in over my head. I got a little antsy waiting for cupcake so I installed JesusFreak's build way back when and it worked perfectly. Now I'm interested in Sense UI and was trying to install a build of that but everything went wrong when the phone rebooted after the SPL installation.

I can still hold Home + Power to access that menu or Camera + Power to access fastboot, but one problem is I don't have a backup. JesusFreak removed the backup utility in the build I was using. I figured there was no point in changing builds to create a backup since I'd lose all my information anyway.

I tried to wipe the phone and install Cyanogen's "pimped out recovery image with new features", but after that it still freezes at the G1 logo. All I can do to break the freeze is remove the battery.

This is an early model phone. It was shipped and at my doorstep on launch day.

Can anyone out there help me out here and get my phone back to a working state?
Thanks

Just wanted to say I decided not to install this Hero Rom, and went with Cyanogen instead. I just flashed the rom in recovery mode and it's working alright now.
