Did you do the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" step like it says in the thread? Anyways, the ROM that you are using now is based on Cyanogenmod10. We have two kernels for that. Look in the index thread (link in my signature) for the two kernels. You can choose anyone you like.
Once you download the kernel, place it in C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools of your PC.
Then switch off your phone, remove the battery, put it back in.
Then hold volume-down and power button till the phone starts.
Connect your phone to the PC. Now it should say "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen
Open command window in your PC and navigate to the folder where you have pasted the kernel file.
Then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without quotes (and assuming that the file is called boot.img)
Then type "fastboot erase cache" then "fastboot reboot"
Then wait for some time.. It should start.

NO NO.. You're supposed to have Android SDK installed. What guide did you follow?

i followed loads of guides i unlocked the bootloader and then i installed cwm by munjeni using hasoon2000 all in one toolkit

would you be able to backup up your current system and send it to me so that i could restore it and hopefully my phone will work

aashay960 · Aug 22, 2013

The toolkit has an option to flash kernels. Follow the instructions there. And if you are using Darkbreed IV, use Prometheus or NOPE kernel

pati123 · Aug 22, 2013

i just downloaded the nope kernel and i used the toolkit to flash a kernel but it says error: device not found what to do ??????

me4488 · Aug 22, 2013

Ash, I think you need to erase the cache first.
Also Nope kernel doesn't work on sense roms.
Wipe the cache data and dalvik and try flashing the rom again with the correct kernel.
If it keeps getting stuck, try lower frequencies.

aashay960 · Aug 23, 2013

I mentioned the erase cache command in post #4. And he gave me a link for darkbreed so that's why I suggested nope or prometheus. The problem here is not wrong kernel. He hasn't flashed the kernel at all. It was clearly mentioned in Russell's thread. He hasn't even installed android sdk and judging from his last response, not even drivers.

OK now here's what you should do. There is a link for a guide/faq thread in my signature. In that thread, I have answered the question "how to flash a kernel".
There I have provided two links - one for a tool and one guide.
Go for the guide and not the tool. That guide will help you to set up your computer for flashing and it will also tell you how to flash kernels. That will definitely solve your problem.

For the future, do not just skip instructions. If you do not understand a particular instruction in a thread, ask before you move ahead. This problem could have been avoided if you had done so.
Now read the guide and the faq thread. And if you have any further questions, I will be happy to help you

I'm gonna go all out on this and tell you that you are hopeless.
People explained to you nice and easy how to do it.
You did try and you did not follow the advice correctly, afterwards asking for more advice.
If you refuse to listen to people that are more experienced than you, you have no place here.
In case you want to change your mind look up some videos on how to flash a kernel and read which kernel goes for which rom.

Just in case you are completely oblivious, you flash a kernel by holding Vol- and the power button to go into fastboot.
Then you go to bootloader. Then you use ADB to flash it. Reboot. Done.
Doesnt ring bells? Go google it.

aashay960 · Aug 25, 2013

Can you please give a link to what guide you followed?
