Ha, Ive been on a fun journey. After I restored to 1.0.1 everything was fine. Then I attempted to go back into CWR to flash r2 and it just locked up at the touch the future screen. Nothing I could do would take me past that screen. Somehow evidently I / CWR hosed my boot partition. I found a file on xda called repartition-boot-with-stick.zip and flashed it via sd CWR (via monsterpack) and suddenly could boot again with stock recovery on the 1.0.1 backup.
Soo.. I guess I shall take a break from all this and then later finish the job I botched up earlier
