I did NOT remove the battery, I followed the directions listed on XDA to the T regarding flashing this ROM, all was basically the same except for that part, and at the end it did say to do a hard reset once the phone was booting back up and I did that.............do you think I should reflash it tonite and instead once it's rebooting for the 2nd time.... take the battery out, put it back in, and hard reset it?
