It's also a good idea to create an image of the microSD card before attempting the recovery.

I ended up mounting the recovery file system on a Linux box then following the recovery script manually (it involves formatting the system and user partitions, then decompressing a file to each file system). That seemed to be a lot safer than messing around with the bootloader.
