You don't need to relock the bootloader if you don't want to. Should be able to just reboot. Take the OTA once it's downloaded and you should be good. Assuming you haven't removed any system apps and still have the stock kernel.

Haha. I did that before too. The first recovery is for telling it which partition it flashes too. The 2nd recovery is just the name of the recovery file. Happens to the best of us. If you run into anything else, let me know. But you should be good. Enjoy Jellybean!

Flashing a recovery wouldn't touch the radio partition. If you still haven't gotten service, I'd battery pull, sim pull, and wait 30 seconds before re-inserting the sim. Then reboot and try again.

Which variant do you have? Do you have a toro, torospr or maguro?
