It has been 16 minutes, not 30.
Be patient. Try reflashing if you can get to recovery.

It's a bad flash or won't work on your device. Flashing a kernel with a speed to high for your CPU can do that, for example. Do a restore via recovery or try and flash a different version of that kernel or a different kernel.

no its been 30 i let it stay on that screen for a whole game of dota lol i just had it on my laptop while i played and it stayed white and HTC the entire time

oh ok ill try that , im new to the rooted phone scene was just using revolution hd but i like the insertcoin version better ill try another kernel

Firstly custom kernals dont work with sense 3.5 roms, that could be your problem, wipe everything in recovery, data wipe, factory reset, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache, then just install the rom and see what happens, or else restore (assuming you made a backup)

You will most likely run into it again in your flashing future (the stuck boot screen). It doesn't always require a full wipe or restore to fix. You could have most likely fixed it by flashing the kernel that came with the ROM.

The easiest thing you can do for yourself is to always make a nandroid backup before flashing anything, even a theme. Just remember to delete old backups you know you won't use, they take up a lot of sdcard space.

thaey sure do take a lot of space. when I do an nandroid backup it always saves the rom with the date. can i rename it so I can keep them all straight? THis is a very NOOB question
