Default [Q] ROM not working after downgrade to 2.3.3

First off, I was going to ask for help in this thread, but I don't have those privileges, yet. But if attn1 is reading this... THANKS FOR ALL YOUR WORK!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1298990

I'll write out my problems in a list so it's easier to follow.

1. I downgraded my phone with the following the above link. S-OFF, etc.
2. I've tried to install MIUI 1.10 and 1.9 through REVOLUTION, and it says that it has successfully installed.
3. When I try to reboot after the install, it gets bootlooped.
4. I've tried going back to the backup I set up after successful rooting. I've also reinstalled the ROMs many times, each time it just bootloops.

So the question is:
Has anyone had trouble using MIUI after downgrading as well? Have people had success with different ROMs?

I could be mistaken because I haven't used the down grader, but I think that all revolution does is give you s-off and install cloclwork.

I think you have to install miui from clockwork.

Boot into recovery. With phone off, hold down the vol- key and the power button.

Before you install miui, make sure to wipe the data, cache and dalvik.

You have to have miui on your SD card and select it when you use the Install zip from SD card option.

If I've miss understood your post, disregard this one.

I did all of this, except for wipting data, cache, and dalvik. Can anyone else confirm that I should do this?

After I install MIUI and reboot is when I start bootlooping.

Oh also...

I cannot install MIUI from clockwork.... since I do not have super user.

From what I understand, I get superuser after i successfully install a ROM from my SD card. After I get 1 ROM, I can start installing through clockwork since superuser will then grant me the access to do so.

EDIT: WOW! I cleared cache and data and reinstalled MIUI and now it works! Thank you both for the great help! Let me know if I can repay you guys by upping your "thanks" meter. I'm still a bit new to the forums :\
