Before you flashed did you wipe system? Huh I bet not even so you only mention wipe cache....what about data , dalvik ?

Did you read directions in the op for the ROM?

I've never heard of that ROM but in fastboot will it let you use your volume and power keys to navigate to recovery? If not, try using fastboot commands on the computer to get into recovery (if you can? I'm not too acquainted with fastboot commands)

That's fastboot. Try looking into fastboot commands and see if any command will let you boot into recovery from there.

You buggered the boot image... Just flash it again, via fastboot...

They are normally in .Franco kernels...
