its ok... your most likely not in a boot loop. when using gingerbreak there is a long boot delay. just give it time to work itself out. id say probably 3-7 minutes. if that doesnt work let us know k :)
 
Using Gingerbreak shouldn't bootloop your phone, can you go into more detail as to what happened and what steps you took?

i downloaded gbrk and installed the app following the instuction at the beginning checking the usb rom thing then ran the app when my phone rebooted it just kept doing it over & over i pulled the battery and put it back in & the boot loop continues. i found the mobile partition fix on here will that work
 
You don't need to root your phone just do the clockwork swap boot into clockwork & flash whatever rom you want presto rooted & on a custom rom.:D

cool right now i just want to fix the boot loop if you could post a link or tell me if that will do the job i will do it
 
yep like jaay dogg said... you can just put clockwork mod on your phone and flash a rom. (it will root the phone for you)

as long as you have a way to get the rom onto your sdcard (adapter for a pc) youll be all good. :D
 
BTW, what part is your phone getting stuck on? the logo or the animation?

(logo is first image shown, and animation is everything after that)

i have a sd card adaptar. so if i put this rom on my sd card all will be fixed
 
Did you flash any kernels ? Do you have clockwork installed ? power off & then volume down plus power to boot into downloader mode then open the folder called image & replace the recovery image with the clockwork image, then reboot & hold power, volume up & down to boot into clockwork
