It's pretty hard to brick your phone, really. From what I understand, flashing radios is just about the only way you can do it, and we don't have S-off so that doesn't really apply to us.
I was stuck in hboot the other day after wiping system, so there was no way I could reboot to system or recovery until I remembered that all I had to do was use adb to reboot into recovery and restore a backup.
I'm going to try to post a thorough guide soon to help you guys out. It's really not as risky as it seems, but I can certainly understand how intimidating it can be if you don't know your way around Android too well. Hopefully, I'll have it posted sometime tonight. If not, I'll be sure that it's posted before the end of the week.
