Rman restore/recovery

Question

Hi Guys,
10.2.0.4
Scenario:
DELETED: REDO LOGS, ARCHIVE LOGS, DATAFILES
STILL IN PLACE: CURRENT CONTROLFILES, INIT FILE
If I have my current controlfiles with me but no re-do logs, I won't be able to use the controlfiles for recovery right as it won't be able to find the redo logs? I still have to restore the controfile from the database or use the create controlfile statement?
Please advise.
thanks

Hi Guys,
After i startup mount the database. I did a restore database followed by recover database. However, there's error as below:
RMAN> run
2> {
3> allocate channel c1 type disk;
4> recover database;
5> }
allocated channel: c1
channel c1: sid=157 devtype=DISK
