Go back to your posting on rootzwiki... all you need to is flash CWM Recovery, copy a ROM and kernel to the SD card, boot into CWM and flash, you should be back up.

If you still need help after that, drop in the irc channel for the stratosphere developers on irc.andirc.net in #stratosphere late evenings and look for myself, bag, or withere2 and I am fairly certain we can get you back up and running!
