Heh... ok, you got into recovery mode and know about nandroid backups.... I thought that you mean that you restored the non-working recovery image using the "recovery flasher".
You were *practically done*. It *was rooted*. All you needed to do was flash *any* system image that you like -- i.e. the "write update.zip" or "write any .zip" options... to write the image of your choice. >From what I can tell, you actually *did* this... your only mistake is that you just didn't WAIT LONG ENOUGH for the first bootup. The first boot on a new image takes a *LONG* time. Just be patient. If you feel like watching the progress, install the sdk onto your computer and run "sdk/tools/adb logcat" -- it'll show you what is going on when it appears to be "stuck" during the very very long firstboot process. Pick a system image that sounds good to you. Copy it into the root of your sdcard. Power off your phone, press and hold the HOME button, tap the power/end button, keep holding the HOME button until it is in recovery mode, write the update.zip, reboot, WAIT. Done. You should also still write the engineering bootloader. It works the same way -- copy the .zip file into the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery mode, write zip, reboot. The advantage of the engineering bootloader is that you get *no-sig-check fastboot mode*, which is like a permanent super-root mode that allows you to write *any* system image you like independent of recovery mode. This includes overwriting ANY future unhackable system image that you ever happen to write to the device.
