Help Help! Stuck in boot loop

[swsl]

I'm a newbie and got my first smartphone, my Exhibit II rooted last week via the Jocala Custom Kernal. Worked great and I then installed Titanium Backup and immediately backed up everything to my internal SD.

Then I put in several days cleaning out bloatware and getting some apps I wanted on. I also backed up the new apps individually. Settings and data all lined up and getting it dialed in.

Then I saw this new option to "De-integrate Dalvik" in Titanium and thought it might help but now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I tried re-loading the Jocala zip from the new CWM bootloader, but it's not fixing it. Still in a loop. Kinda like this guy:
[Q] Latest Titanium Backup - De-integrate Dalvik save Rom! : ((( - xda-developers


It seems that I need to reflash the ROM, right? I'm not sure how to do that and then I'd rather be able to use my Titanium backups and not lose all my settings...

Or is it a good time to flash a different ROM like Peach Sunrise or XquiziT? Do I lose everything changing ROMs if the backup was done on the Jocala kernal or can that all be re-integrated?

Where do I start?

Thanks in advance!

PS. If I've really messed it up, I've got, like 1-2 days left on the 15 day return window at Walmart. I could just pull the SIM, copy the backup files and then return it and swap for another, but I doubt it's that bad...I can get into CWM no problem.

You need to put a new ROM zip on your extSD and then wipe all and install to fix this.

I had this happen when testing on an experimental ROM and fixed it by installing back to RebelROM.

Thanks for the confirmation.

So, I just copied everything on the phone to my PC then wiped and installed Peach Sunrise ROM. Working again, fresh install.

Now I would like to restore as much as possible, especially data from my Titanium Backups. I do not want to install the part I messed up, though I'm not clear I guess it's the ROM ?

Considering the ROM is now different, any clues on how to rdo that with Titanium so I can more or less return to where I was?

Restore USER apps and you should be safe. Never restore all apps or system apps as that can cause issues.

As to app data you might not have them I usually have to reenter login credentials for some apps.
