Root botched my root attempt - help please!

OK - here is where I'm at - I successfully rooted using autonooter 3.0, set up my google account through the youtube app, downloaded rom manager, downloaded cm7 rc4 & put it on the sd card, flashed clockwork recovery, rebooted into it. I made a backup (but I lost it so that doesn't really matter) and installed cm7. The end result is that I rebooted into recovery by doing the 8 power interrupts, and did a data & cache wipe, and reinstalled cm7. Now, it boots, but the setup screen force closes and constantly tries to restart, and I don't have any way to get past it or prevent it from loading...

Either a way around this or a way to get it back to stock would be best, I guess. If I got it back to stock I'd just restart the whole booting process. Apparently you're supposed to do the 8 power interrupts to do a reset but when I do that it just takes me into clockwork.

Any help would be appreciated!
 
Weird, I thought I edited my original post but I guess it didn't save?

Thanks for the help but I got this sorted out :)

Glad you got it worked out, maybe you can share what you did to fix it, so future readers can hopefully see it.
 
Actually all I did was flash phiremod 5.3 instead of CM7 RC4. I don't know what the issue with CM7 is but phiremod started up and everything works great!

Had you tried to redownload it, maybe it was a bad download. It happens sometimes.

Again, glad you got it worked out.
