Default A cautionary tale!

i'm nosey. can't help fiddling.
even when i know i shouldn't. <sigh>

last sunday. stone, cold sober too.

was running rcmix4???
i had my phone connected to pc. can't remember why. but i did.
so, for whatever reason made it's way into my mind, i decided to have a look at superoneclick.
downloaded and ran it.
was moving mouse over all the buttons. just looking.
and, of course, when i reached UNROOT, my damn finger twitched.
sh!t.
pulled cable out as quick as possible.
titanium, rom manager, busybox, all won't run, cause i'm now no longer root.
D'OH

so, running a mod, not root, can't access anything.
in my wisdom, i reached for aahk.
first part went well, second part hung. had to terminate.

so, all i had was standard bootloader with nothing to boot into.
recovery showed me a nice wee pic of a phone with big warning triangle.
factory reset seemed to run for 10 or 15 seconds, then shut down

luckily, i found a PD98IMG file that actually worked!!!!!!!!
so, back up and running android revolution.
will i ever learn?
no!
