OK - Kelmar had to split for a while but he gave me the background and I've followed a bit here.
The Prime Directive of Rooting is the same as that for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -
DON'T PANIC
I've even included the friendly lettering.
My first time rooting was much like yours, except - it was 78 (count 'em) 78 steps long - and I'd thought at several points like yours I'd tanked my investment.
It's going to be fine. Trust me.
Here's what we'll do - you'll step back for a while, go to your happy place - we need you there because only in your calm and happy place do any of us avoid simple human errors.
This was advice given me long ago on rooting and trust me, it works.
While you're doing that, I'm going to need a bit more time to regroup things elsewhere, catch up here and engage a bit more.
So - hang tight, it's all going to be good.
Square?
Remember - you're not alone, it's not a mess, it's just a hiccup. Feels like a big one - but it's a not heart failure - just a hiccup.
I'll be back.
EDIT and PS - Cool - see? Help is coming at you - check out above vid in the meantime, engage with any
buddy here that's been there and can help before I return.
We're all in this together.
