Root Root and Recovery

Flashing the wrong recovery for your phone isn't usually a problem. Booting into the wrong recovery might cause a recovery loop or worse, a boot loop or boot hang.
It some times will only cause you to have a black screen in the recovery, because the recovery is incompatible with the screen drivers for the phone. This is why I provided the Droid@Screen and Java 6. If you have ADB established (use the Pre-packaged ADB Installer) and the Java 6 installed and run the Droid at screen, it will allow you to see the recovery menu screen on your PC (even though you can't see it on the phone). This will allow for a boot up into the system/ROM from the recovery menu.

Please do not try to flash a recovery until you know if it is A: Compatible with your phone screen drivers and B: It is compatible with your phones system/ROM.
