Root Help... I lost recovery...

I made the mistake of installing 2nd init recovery apk because the recovery from the reboot menu didn't seem to be giving me the option to switch between internal memory and external sd. I've got what I need backed up so I'm not afraid of factory reset, even pulled the hard reset using power+ volume down, but I think I had 2nd init still in system/app when I did. At this point, I've replaced the recovery. Tar in system/xbin, and that hasn't done me any good either. I don't have much access to a PC, but I can do it later today, (after work), is that the only play I have here? To unbrick/unroot?
 
on recovery 6.0.2.7 you don't switch between internel and externel you just choose externel sd in the menu ;) try going to /system/xbin and deleting these files. 2nd-init, recovery.sh,recovery.tar then place the recovery.sh and recovery.tar from pg rom or one of the flashables in the forum, into that directory.

I went too far on my own. I saw a post where someone did the same as i did, and it was recommended to him to copy xbin from the rom and paste it over in /system. Even with root privileges, it was denied, and now im in bootloop, even after power+volume down hard reset, all I get is the flame-face boot-ani that came with the paranoid port I was running... At this point, I'm moving on to the unbrick/unroot guide... Unless you're online and have other advise within the next 3 to 5 minutes, lol...
