Okay, ill take this from the top.
Well i found out Cyan had a new rom available and i figured ill take the time to update to the newest rom i was on 4.1.1.1.1.1.1 (Whatever) and i first downloaded 4.2.3.1 and tried to flash it not knowing you have to download a recovery image so i had downloaded and flashed the recovery image on top of the 4.2.3.1 then when that was finished the phone said formatting radio or something then it rebooted then went back to the recovery screen next thing i see is the phone giving a message formatting cache and it didnt do anything for about 20 min i rebooted the phone and now im back at stock firmware without root.....
Do i go ahead and Root my phone again or do i have to do something else.
Any advice is much appreciated!
update
Now the phone wont let me install ANY update.zip files it keeps saying installation aborted after going halfway through. Also i have a weird recovery image (Android System Recovery <2e>) is this recovery image not allowing me too flash any update.zip ..... can anyone help please.
check setting>about phone
Yes i think my phone is not rooted based on that information.

Hi guys im wondering if any of you can help me out here.
I have been on cyanogen (latest) for a while but decided to have a go at puting the ''donut'' rom in the android development bit of this forum (eu version as im in uk) on my phone this evening.
I flashed the base version fine and it started up great. Then I flashed the extention (add on) part and it started up but after the ''android'' screen it just went black and nothing happend. So i did a hard reset and tried again, same problem occured.
I then tried to put the latest cyanogen rom back on my phone, put to root, started it up then BAM stuck on g1 screen. Didnt get passed it. So put other roms later cyan roms on and still same problem occurs.
I then freeked out and tried to go back to RC29, so i deleted everything of my sdcard and put the dreming file on, pressed power and camera button and then BAM it comes up with some sort of cyanogen screen and not the rainbow screen. So havent got a clue how to install the dreming file. So gave up there
So this is where im at. Nothing on my sd card. Still got cyan on my phone but cant get it started up, no matter what rom I try it keeps getting stuck on g1 screen.
I know this is completly retarded but I really need help to get this sorted.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT
Thanks
Have you been wipping?
Wiped before flashing donut rom...And when trying to put cyanogen rom back on...
If you can boot into recovery or into fastboot then you should be fine.
Wipe, if you use appps2sd the wipe your ext partition as well.
Flash base defanged rom from Cyan's site and flash Cyan's latest (Check md5 sums of both to make sure that your downloads are not corrupted. Fix permissions and you should be ok. If you still can't boot up (and it will take a while to boot up after a wipe) then you can go back to RC29. Just make sure that your nbh file is named exactly Dreaimg.nbh and your card is formated to FAT32, otherwise fastboot will not find it.
Good luck.

Wow lots of help there thanks.
Firstly tho I cant find this ''base defanged rom'' from cyans website? Can you give me a pointer as to where it is? Is that its name on the website or is that it in short?
Forget that I found ''DRC83_base_defanged.zip''. Downloading it now.
I followed the unlockr guide and did everything and now I am stuck on the g1 screen. I checked my radio and spl are the right number. I wiped everything then re-partitioned then re-updated it with the lastest rom and still stuck. Can anyone give me advice?
If you can get into recovery of bootloader than you aren't bricked.
I know it isn't bricked but it is still temporarily useless. I really want a custom ROM and I wish I knew why this thing was messing up.
You could always reflash using the .nbh file then go through the steps again =]
start from step 1 again
The only thing I could think of is when I updated the .spl I didn't wipe. Whenever I booted into the recovery (before using amon ra's, just the stock recovery) I didn't wipe the system before updating .spl. Whenever I wiped and tried to update .spl it would give me an error (I think the E:signature (5 files)). Anyways I will retry! Thanks for your help!
So I decided to root my phone, following everything here (I am completely noob at this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
I did screw up on step 10 where instead of doing a "Flash zip from sdcard" I did a reboot and it booted into the original system. So I went through the process again from step one and did everything right this time.
I don't know if that broke the root or not, but I cannot flash anything on the phone, mainly new ROM.
When I try to wipe it will give me this error:
"error wipe dalvik via adb"
"error wipe ext via adb"
If I go and flash the ROM anyway, it will get stuck at the splash screen forever...
Fresh Rom 2.3.3 will give me the endless droid dance
Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 Test 4 For Hero CDMA will be stuck at the "X" animation
I can pull out the battery stuff and it still doesn't work. I am able to just restore my nandroid backup and the phone will work then.
Does anyone knows what did wrong? Or how I can get this to work?
PS: I have the "Superuser Permission" ninja is my apptray so I assume I rooted it correctly...
Make sure your battery its charged when flashing. Re-download whatever files you want to flash, sometimes they get corrupted during download. Which recovery are you using?
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
also if when your in the recovery image for the first time or you have been in there for awhile i get those errors but usually a shut down and the boot back into recovery works for me
I managed to get this working with Rom Manager after restoring the nandroid to the Sprint ROM. Running on Fresh 2.3.3 now, thanks for the reply!
My nexus has been a great platform for running roms for quite a while now, but after installing CM6 as of late it has been really picky about what it can flash. For instance the only way I got it to install the normal stock rom afterwards was by putting it in as passimg.zip. Every time I try to flash something to it now, the signature verification fails. Anyone else have this problem?
Edit: If I install a rooted room, it gives me
"assert failed: !less_than_int(1277930906, getprop("ro.build.date.utc"))
E: Error in /sdcard/update blah blah .zip
(Status 7) Installation Aborted
Did you lose root?
I don't think so, I could try unlocking the boot loader again but it says unlocked at the top already...and it won't even flash normal signed passion roms...
what recovery do you have? have yopu tried fastboot flash recovery? like amon rah
I ended up using
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
to fix it.
It still refuses any update.zip file that isnt OTA...
every signature varification fails instantly. So I guess until I throw this phone in the trash pile or just use it for an MP3 player..its not going to be doing anything in the way of modding
If you've used the original shipping ROM tutorial/passimg, then you'll have a stock recovery that will of course only install released signed things.

right and I flashed clockworks recovery to get it off the standard. I guess I could go out and get Root again without it, but at this point I don't see the point with Gingerbread coming out. I'm just glad to not have a paper weight sitting next to my computer again.
btw Calling Tmo/HTC doesn't help. Most of the guys there don't have a clue what FRG83 is even lol
Keep in mind, if you have the stock on there, it will wipe out your custom recovery and restore it to the stock recovery every time you restart the phone.
So if you flashed Clockwork, after a reboot the stock recovery will be there again.
Yes amonra and cwr have options to toggle off verification best to start with amonra recovery then go through the steps

Use odin 3.13.1 latest
Check nand erase all in odin options
Check F-reset time in odin options
Check Auto reboot in odin options
Make sure download and Flash latest stock firmware
Boot straight into stock recovery after odin show pass
Wipe data factory reset in recovery
Wipe cache in recovery
Reboot and wait 10 to 15 minutes on 1st boot
Done
