Hey everyone so i have a bit of what i percieve to be an issue and i figured i would tirn to the people who know everything. i was flashing "cm-10.1 UNOFFICIAL spyder alpha" and I Installed safestrap 2.11. then proceeded to follow the installation instructions and made a backup, wiped everything, installed the Rom and the Gapps. now i am stuck on a black screen after reboot. is this normal? its been a good 10 minutes at this point. am i just being impatient or is something wrong? i tried to recover using matts utility but it says it cannot find the fastboot and gives me a bunch of errors. :/ please HELP!!

First mistake was not following the instructions. You need safe strap 3.05 and the rom must be installed in slot 1

Can you power off? if so have you tried to boot into fastboot mode by holding the vol+ and the vol- and the power button at the same time? That should put you in fastboot mode and you can connect your cable and hopefully run the utility.

@atcjeff:thanks for the quick response! I used some youtube instructions so i had the visual, and he clearly stated that you needed 2.11. although now i realize he may not have know what he was talking about :/ i restarted and tried to reinstall everything again and its a no go........trying fastboot recovery again and it seems to be working so far.......
