First off...NEVER NEVER NEVER screw around with your phone the night before surgery! /ugh

OK....Here's what I did...and I have NO idea how to get it Root back.

I followed the directions found here Back to stock the easy way

I downloaded the nandroid backup they suggested, (made a backup of my phone!!!) and did the recovery selecting their nandroid image.

In the directions they stated to check Misc and Recovery, however I wasn't sure if they meant to check JUST misc and recovery or add them....so I just selected them and blanked everything else out.

I now have a non-rooted phone...that all the apps crash. I ended up doing the format/recovery, but still shows I'm running Bugless Beast v.09 but non rooted and I have no CLUE how to get the phone rooted again.

I have downloaded the little update.zip file that puts the ninja (SU) icon on your phone, but it doesn't do anything, and I can't remove it.

Everytime I reboot the phone by holding the power button and X at the same time I get the standard /!\ where you have to hold the camera button and up volume button...but there's no restore/backup option.

So that's where I'm at.

If anyone is on and could help me out...I would greatly appreciate it. I have surgery in 12 hours...and will be out of commission for 2-3 days....but don't want to worry about a broken phone.

Thanks in advance!!
