I have attempted to do use the sdcard with Link2SD program as described in this thread.
However, I seem to have done something wrong, which I can't figure out what. Now my device after restarting, doesn't boot completely. It keeps showing the start-up (booting) dots again and again, but never shows the desktop.

I did all the instructions that are told in the thread "[How To] Move Apps to your SDcard in Ermine".
I could get Link2SD link my apps to the SD card also. I used a 8GB sdcard and partitioned it into 4.5 GB FAT and 3.5GB ext3. and made the changes to vold.fstab.internal and vold.fstab.external. I actually copied these files from the thread, including the install install-recovery.sh file. Everything seem to went fine, as I the sd card was correctly detected and showed the correct disk space. I could even link apps with Link2SD. I linked the google-market and google-services app to the sdcard. Then while I tried to use the market, the device got hung. I waited for about an hour for it but it did not come out. Then I tried to power off the device, but it would not power off too. Then I used the reset switch on the side of the device. The device powered off, but upon restarting it is now not booting. Just showing the booting progress dots continuously.

I have no way of even changing it to its original configuration. After severl poweroffs and restarts, it shows the same behaviour. Then I tried the update process with first the ermine update and the golden update, both of which didnot work. The device stays in the same state.

Kindly suggest anything to rescue my pocket edge.
