Root Problems after root

I rooted my phone last night and everything went great. Today I downloaded the app ad free android from the market...my phone rebooted after download and now it won't boot past the boost screen. It's almost as if the ad free app is recognizing the boost startup screen as an add and is blocking it...Anyway, my phone won't do anything but do a fb vibrate and stay on the boost screen. Do I need to remove the root to fix this or what can I do? I'm a noob, and I really need my phone! Help!!

Did you make a backup with CWM before things went astray? If not i am pretty sure you will need to Odin back to either stock EE14 or Rooted EE14.
 
Just check out hroark's Odin thread and download his version of Odin with rooted EE14 with clockwork mod. All of the instructions for use are posted, and then you'll be good to go
 
I went to the Odin thread and clicked on DOWNLOAD EE14 ROOTED VERSION WITH CWM AND HROARKERNEL. It brings me to MegaUpload via Mega Manager. From there I have no clue what I'm doing. I clicked where it says download link, but it does nothing.

Read my thread in my Signature, it tells you how to root your phone without any errors.

Megaupload does me like that from time to time. Just click on the download link again, and depending on what version of Windows that you are running, there should be a pop-up at the bottom of the screen that says run or save. Click save. After saving, go into your library and find the downloaded file. You will need to extract Odin before using it though.
 
PhoneMan93-I can't download anything from the MegaUpload site, so I can't even do the old root.
SpCowboy2842-I finally have Odin up and figured out, but my phone is still a vibrating frisbee. Odin only runs the first yellow com box and won't go any further. This is what its says in the message box:

I'm not at my computer right now, but you need to get back into download mode. In the 6 or 7 selection boxes towards the the bottom right of the screen Select the operating system, then the boot .tar, phone .tar, and then PDA, and then start. Give it another try in that order and see if that gets it going.
