So ive been following the guide stickied to the point where it says about backing up your stock ROM. So i do, i name it 'original orange'. The phone then resets, i go back on recovery manager and it wont open, nor will androot.

Reset phone to factory settings and formatted memory card, reinstalled and the same thing is happening.

Have i ruined my phone?

Basically got to this point:

# Hit the Firmware tab

# Hit the MENU button on your device and choose Update Database

# If you want to make a complete backup of your entire phone : use the option Backup Current Firmware - this will put a FULL backup of your device onto the SDCard (in a directory called clockwork)

Made a backup name something like 'original orange', as soon as i did that, the phone reboots and now androot and recovery manager wont work.

Need advice soon before i take it back for an exchange

You need to describe better whats happening.. the bit ive quoted above sounds like the phone has booted fine into the original rom and you are trying to run those apps on it (you run androot on the phone so I can only assume this is the casE).

In which case its fine.. not sure what the problem is?

Whats actually wrong apart from those apps wont open? If youve flashed things then you must have a recovery image on there.. and if its booting the flashes have been successful.. so whats actually broken?
