success!! understanding the fastboot thing was a trick but i found a utility on xda that just opened a program check that you are flashing recovery and select the img. after that it was a piece of cake. running titanium back up and making all sorts of other backups so i have "incase i scew something up" piece of mind and then on to other things. thanks for all the help on this forum and thanks to anyone else who lost sleep trying to get root on this thing
