can i boot into recovery again?
i was hoping you might have something clever to say!
if i sync my cell phone to my PC, can i "force" it to boot in recovery (through CMD or something)?
[sorry, pretty new to this!]

oh sure! sorry about that...
this is like a new language for me.
i was successfully rooted with Gingersnap for about 3 hours, and i wanted the CyanogenMod firmware...
Installation Instructions:
1) Download ROM and Google Apps from links above. DO NOT EXTRACT, DO NOT RENAME!
2) Place ROM and Google Apps (and kernel if you downloaded it) on your sdcard.
3) Perform a FULL data/cache wipe from recovery mode. (MUST HAVE CUSTOM RECOVERY)
4) Wipe (or format) /boot and /system from the "mounts and storage" menu in recovery mode.
5) Flash ROM using the "install zip from sdcard" option in recovery mode.
6) Flash Gapps in the same fashion.
7) Reboot
8) Done
i got stuck on #5 (above) using the method below to access custom recovery
6. It will automatically install & reboot you into new recovery. Using the script above your old recovery.img was copied to /sdcard/dump-recovery.img. If you had the stock recovery copy that file to a safe place as running the script again will overwrite it.
i saw other one click root methods, but i wanted to learn something and my phone only cost me $20.
after reading several forums, i trusted these as much as one can trust what one reads online.
