my phone got stuck today doing an upgrade of a rom... sucks i know
well maybe you can have better luck than me:

i just used the instructions from this thread and my backup worked. at first it didnt because my spl was 1.33.009 so once i switched it to the 1.33.2005 engineering spl and then followed these instructions all was well
