Root What's the difference?

between the two recoveries: 2nd init mod (The CWM recovery mod) and 985hPaKick 2nd init recovery? Admittedly, I haven't taken the time to read thru all 5 pages of the two threads combined, so it might just tell me in there. Am I assuming correctly that the 985.. recovery is the basic recovery and that the 2nd init mod is some kind of modification to the basic recovery? If so, what does it do?

I understand that this is a sort of software recovery rather than a hardware recovery like I'm used to from the OM and OM+. I learned that from when I was highly interested in getting the LG Spirit 4G, but I ended up getting the Motion instead. They are using the same 2nd init recovery (or a similar one, not sure though).

Oops, first one should have been put under mods, it is a mod, not a recovery.

The 2ndinit mod is a way to get into 985hPaKick's recovery via a widget on your home screen. And if put in BootBuddy, it can be a way to get into recovery while in a soft brick

If we are soft bricked...how do we get into bootbuddy in order to get into recovery?

Bootbuddy is a script that starts before boot...not sure how to get recovery with it.
