Frozen at rogers screen

Just to begin, normally i am pretty on top of stuff when it comes to messing with hardware/software, so i figured this flashing will be easy.
I started off with rooting my Rogers HTC Dream, which worked out just fine.
Then i tried to install the cyanogen mod, and now i cant boot past the rogers logo.
since then i have tried installing android 1.5 radio, cyanogen's recovery image (1.3.1)
i couldnt find a guide for installing any of these, so essentially the only thing i did was enter fastboot, run fastboot boot recovery.img (the same one i used for rooting) and update from update.zip on each of the things i tried to install.
Seems that I missed out on the initial preperation.
Also, Nandbackup didnt work when i tried to use it, it would just fail every time, so i am left without a backup file of my previous state.
So my question is: What can I do to A:get cyanogen's mod working, or B:restore the unmodified rogers-branded rom to my phone
Thanks guys, any help is greatly appreciated. Just got this phone yesterday, and I love it, but now i seem to have gone and messed it up
I have a bunch of bad backups, they have only the boot.img part of several backups.
K here is the order I did anything.
Rooted->cyanomod 3.6.7.2->recovery 1.3.1 (tried to install it through the raw file, didnt seem to work) radio for 1.5 android-> recovery 1.3.1 (through update.zip, worked)
I figured cyanogen's was compatible kuz on a post about rooting the rogers phone, a link was posted, by cyanogen linking to his mod.

Don't believe its compatible...I read your thread in the development section. Like soulife said, try getting a fellow Rogers G1 user to get you a system dump.

yea that requires a fellow rogers user with a g1 xD
all my friends have dumbphones for now, so no luck

Try posting in the "Rooting Rogers Dream" thread in Dream General. Maybe someone will provide you a system dump in there?

need help recovering G1

okay i really need some help.
ive tried all the steps to recover my phone.
i get to the g1 screen when i power it up.
i can still get in to recovery menu.
ive tried to do a wipe.
please i need help.
ive also tried reinstalling rc29 with the original spl
but my radio is still 2_22_19_26I
PLEASE I NEED HELP!
or if there is a way that i can make it look like i never touched it then im still able to return it
so anything would help. links also

if you put the DREAIMG.nbh on your phone via bootloader it will reset the radio and spl to stock and everything else will be stock so that you can return the phone as though you never did anything to it

if your phone is not messed up then there is no reason to return it. if you keep it at stock rc29 then it will update to 1.5 firmware within 72 hours supposedly or if you still want root follow these steps in this thread. this is the probably the most reliable way to root your phone, and since it is not as automated as some of the other threads, you might learn some things about your phone in the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480

do you have a modified recovery image on the phone or were you able to get that far. if not just take it by where you got it and tell them you got an ota update then wouldn't boot up past the g1 screen

ok, in the flashrec method, you most likely didnt name tell it to find the right file.. I suggest trying it again, and when you get to the backup recovery image, go to you sd card and copy that recovery-backup.img file to your desktop. Then take the Amon Ra recovery image file and rename it to recovery-backup.img and hit restore backup image. That should fix your problem.

hold on a sec, tryin that now!

thank you, i just got past that step, following your youtube vid now, ill pm you if i run into any more problems, and thank you again! I was getting sooo frustrated with that!!!!!!

Phone is almost a brick, need ideas

I need some ideas on how to fix my phone. I used to flash new roms all the time but a few weeks ago I started having problems.
When trying to load a new rom my phone would get hung at the multi colored X. Then once I got a rom to stick I would get lots of force closes when I hit the settings button.
I'm tired of dealing with it but I'm not sure how to fix it. Here are two Logcats of the phone stuck at the mulit colored X.
I would appreciate the help at getting my phone back to normal.
Logcat 1
Logcat 2

im not a expert but try unlocking ur bootloader and uploading all the update files from 2.2 froyo or something that helped me unbrick my almost brick

I would try passimg before fastboot flashing anything. If you want to know how to passimg it's in the wiki under unroot restore.

Thanks a ton! Your suggestion lead me to this thread.

I've spent hours trying everything I could to fix it. My phones been half busted for about 2 months.
I didn't think it would but it did. It brought my phone back to stock 2.1. I grabbed z4root to root it, then reflashed hboot, radio and went back to CM7 nightly. All is well with the world again.

stock recovery for vzw?

Hello everyone. I don't know a whole lot about HTCs, but I want one badly after rooting one for a friend. I have another friend that tried to root a 626 verizon version on 6.0 with a tutorial on the HTC site for a different phone (he didn't ask me, I assure you and I gave him a scolding) and his recovery is broken. He's not sure if he fastbooted TWRP onto it or not but I think he may have without unlocking the bootloader. Is there possibly a stock recovery that he could fastboot back on there? His system is still booting and adb and fastboot are still connecting, I just don't know if there is a stock recovery for his and since it's not mine, I don't want to spend hours looking. Also, he doesn't have a lot of understanding yet as this was his first root attempt so I'm asking for him. Thanks so much for any help with this. Any Android down makes me sad. I told him if he wants to root get something non-verizon. He just ordered an unlocked S5 and I told him thats a very good place to start. But, if possible, I hope we can get his HTC right again. I also told him not to factory reset EVER if we can't get his recovery back. Thanks so much for any help.
