Default Bricked Nexus S

Right, I was using the Team Whiskey/Trinity ROM on my nexus S. worked fine. Saw MIUI ROM with english lang pack, fancied a change. Installed both. Re-Boot. Sticks at the MIUI boot animation. Tried to get rid of it through Clockworkmod, to no avail.

I have both of the above mentioned ROMs on my phone, any help would be grand.

Its not bricked. Turn off phone. Hold volume rocker up while powering on the phone. Enter recovery mode. Wipe system. Wipe cache. Advanced>wipe dalvik. Install rom of choice again. Reboot.

Sent from my Google Nexus S using XDA App

it did that because you didnt wipe and do what peeturr said.
wipe dalvik,cache,factory -> reflash MIUI -> flash MIUI language
reboot.

Cheers for the quick reply, followed the steps..

No luck, still lingering at the Trinity Boot animation. Will a Nandroid fix it or make it worse?

Adam.

@Zephik, again followed those steps, stuck at the MIUI boot animation.

Hehe, it is slow on booting because when you wipe Dalvik and Cache. Android is rebuilding the cache so it takes longer than usual. This only happens when you wipe those two, it'll go back to normal on the second (and beyond) boot.
