Boot Loop - Stuck at "M"

Okay, I've read a bunch of the other topics, and people say to use programs named by abbreviations, without links...
I'm too new to this to understand how to get out of it.

2 days ago I went from SmokedGalss6.1 to BuglessBeastV.0.4
I tried doing it from "update" (Hold 'Power' and 'X') without luck
I ended up using ROM_Manager to install the ROM (Was really painless)

Yesterday, I started looking for themes for the ROM
I was having no luck, tried installs from "update" and threw "RM"
When I ran the update of the RM file, 'nothing' happened...
Today, I installed the round blue signal icon threw "RM" without issue.

Moving on to where the problem starts.
Using RM I went to install '928DroidBlackGlass2-2-MM.zip'
Set the speed to the slowest setting, and hit apply all
It would run to 4or5 out of 42 then reboot
I figured I'd have to install them 1 at a time.
Starting at the bottom; YouTube, VoiceSearch, Vending, Twitter, Talk...
Talk took a very long time, then I saw that the clock was 6 minutes slow and the cursor had stopped spinning. I had to pull the battery to get the phone to restart. Now, all I can get is the 'M' in endless loop or the Bootloader 2C.6C screen

Possible useful info:
1) 3rd ROM. (SG5, SG6, BBv0.4)
2) I was getting a white light on the side of the phone, now it's just for a second (I think it's fully charged)
3) I do have a back-up, on the phone
4) I have a wall charger & USB to computer (Windows7-64)
5) I was working with SweeterHome2 (I ran much smoother on BBv0.4 than SG6)

Thanks for looking at this!
I hope you guys can help
 
Do you have a backup? If you err able to load things thru RM you should definitely be able to boot into recovery holding x then hitting the powet button. Going from smoked glass to froyo without wiping the system would probably give issues before you even started themeing. I would try to boot into recovery and wipe everything except your sdcard and do a fresh install of something.
 
Possible useful info #3, Yes, I do have a back-up on the phone
No, I can't boot into recovery with holding the X
No, I wasn't able to get past the M, even after a full wall charge
Yes, I did do a full system wipe when I installed the ROM
 
Have you tried flashing a 2.1 sbf and starting from scratch?

I had recently had the exact same issue (also with W7-64) and ended up researching options. I ended up downloading RSD Lite, drivers, and an SBF file to get the phone back to stock 2.0.1 (would have liked to have the 2.1 instead to save a step). After up and running, rooted with RSD and installed SPRecovery. Then, restored to one of my back ups. Whole ordeal took all of maybe two hours.
 
This is what I'm doing now
And I've bookmarked the links to the forum topics with downloads
Thanks guys!
Ended up getting on an IRC channel to get help
This is my business phone =]
