Help Help: phone not loading after (attempted) root

(I've looked for similar threads and can't see anything which matches my problem)

So I attempted to root my Galaxy Portal using the guide which is the third option down when googling "root samsung galaxy portal" (sorry, can't post links yet :(), and everything went as it said it should until step 4. Carrying out the selection of "apply any zip from SD card", i selected the zip file, pressed the home button and it was here problems began.

My phone said:

"E: Error in install_busybox dot sh
(status 65280)
E: Failure at line 21:
run_program PACKAGE:install_busybox dot sh
Installation aborted"

Now, every time I try and reboot it or retry the whole process, the loading screen of my phone is stuck on "samdroid" and won't go any further than that :(

Anyone got any idea how to get my phone back to any level of functunailty at all?

Many thanks guys
