So is anyway to fix it please? great appreciate for any kind helps.
You need to flash your radio. Go here, grab the radio "ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip."
Put the zip file onto the root of your SD card, and flash from recovery.
Edit: Wait I misunderstood all that. Can you get to recovery?

Thanks for your fast reply. Mr.Faju
so download it and rename to update.zip, then put it into the memory card?
but I cannot get into the recovery mode any more.
Ah okay. But you can get to fastboot so all you need to do is take the recovery.img you downloaded from this zip file and put in the "tools" folder of your sdk. Then:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This should give you back your recovery partition. Reboot while holding the home button after doing this and see if you can get to recovery. If you can then yeah just use that radio update and flash anything.

Hi Faju, thanks again for your reply. i just downloaded the android-sdk_r3-windows, and as you said, i put recovery.img into the tools folder. once i click the sDK Setup, the dos window automatic gone. I have no chance to enter the code.. by the way, i am using windows 7, no sure if is that matter?
Oh no don't do it that way. Open a dos window and navigate to the tools folder inside the sdk. So if your your sdk was in "C:\Android\sdk" you would do the command
cd C:\Android\sdk\tools
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once you've navigated to the tools folder, put your phone into fastboot mode, and on the dos screen on your conputer type that command I quoted in my last message. Once you enter the command you'll see a progress bar on the top right corner of the white bootloader screen on your phone. Once it finishes, reboot your phone while holding home.

great. you are the man Mr.Faju. now i can get into the recovery utility mode again. IT shows: CyanogenMod V1.2 + JF. is that okay to upgrade the radio on that? because I saw v1.4 would be better.
I just did update the ratio, but i cannot get into any fastboot or recover mode( it always shows Rogers logo). i tried all the combination keys... any idea plz? Thanks a lot
Uh you can't get to fastboot?
**** I remember you had to flash radio but it wasn't the one from HTC. It was Haykuro's. Could you try reflashing the Rogers RUU again? The one that gives you the 1.33.0010 spl. At least that will get you back to stock and get your phone restarted. Then redo everything with the flashrec application from your first post.
This time do the same thing to get back your recovery partition but flash the radio from this file. This is haykuro's Rogers root from his thread. This is what worked for me before. This zip also has the 1.4 recovery.

no. I cannot get into any fastboot or recovery mode any more. i cannot use the RUU since it requiest it can get into the system at least. I did a search, and found it died, and cannot be fixed so far. I will try to talk with the Rogers tech support guy tomororrow morning to see if i can have the replacement even i get the phone from my friend. It is okay Mr.Faju, at least i know what is the problem and know how to use the sdk now. Thanks again for your time. you teached me a lot.

Hello to all,
This is my first post on this forum. First of all I want to clarify to everyone that I'm spanish and I'll try to explain this in the better way I can. I've searched for similar cases but I don't know how really find a solution to this.
Today I've recivied a HTC Dream from a guy who sold it here in Spain. He said that the phone was crashed the installation of the firmware. What I've is a phone that only shows the boot image (in this case 'Telefonica Movistar', the carrier of the phone).
I can acces to the Recovery Mode by pressing 'Home + Power' and then ALT + L. In the microSD card I've a recovery.zip. It's not mine, I think that the user put on it. I don't really know because its the first Android system I touch.
When I access to the recovery mode, the first message I get is:
Code:
Android system recovery utility
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I wan't to know if there is some way to go a stable version and later update to some modificated ROM with root support and extras.
Thank you in advance.
Sorry for school English.

This post is going to get moved to the Q&A section by the mods shortly, I suspect.
What you need to do is follow the instructions found on this post. They will take you through flashing the old RC9 image (in English), using the SPL rather than recovery mode. You could then, from there, flash a new recovery and ROM. (Can't help you with the language part. Don't know it -- but I'm sure it's out there.)

Just noticed your HBoot version. Hopefully you have fastboot. (Press and hold the camera while booting up the phone, with it plugged into your computer via USB cable. Press "back" a few times; you should see "Fastboot USB" in red.)
From there, follow the instructions found here (starting w/ post # 53):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493241&page=6
Has something to do with the fact that the European HTC Dream isn't the same as other Dreams.
From there you should pretty much be able to run any ROM you need. We hope.
As I am in the US and got my G1 during pre-order, I haven't had to go these routes.

Thank you! Now I'm in FASBOOT USB, of course.
I've found in this post a link to french site where they're explaining how to install a ROM (cupcake in this case i think): http://wiki.smartphonefrance.info/Default.aspx?Page=firmware-htcdream&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1
In the post the only talk about changing the keys layout. Seems that this link could help, I'll try to understand it.
If you boot up the rooted kernel using fastboot, you //should// be able to run adb remount and then install the flash_image script from elsewhere. (Such as by pulling it out of the CyanogenMod ROM's .zip files)
Drop that script ("flash_image") into your phone's /system/bin folder, and then run (as root) "chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image"
From there, you /should/ be able to run the "flash_image" script in order to flash a new recovery image (such as the RA-dream-v.1.2.2, or the Cyanogen Recovery 1.4) which would let you, from there, flash a new IPL ("radio") or SPL -- both of which are risky business -- or else you could just flash a new ROM by booting into recovery, as per usual.
The trick is to be able to successfully boot the rooted kernel image via fastboot.
Fact is, if you can do /that/, then you should /also/ be able to simply flash a new recovery image via fastboot (though you'd have to pull it out of the *.zip):
Code:
./fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
Hopefully this is all making sense to you.
Now I've my phone full working.
The way to do it was enter with FLASHBOOT USB and use the SDK to boot.
Update with a update.zip (I used a Cupcake 1.5) and update the radios to the latests.
Thanks to all!

I can't say I've ever made the RUUs work short of extracting the NBH file from your users temp directory and flashing it manually... but I always assumed I just was lazy on making the phone connect to VMWare on a mac.
Try this:
0) install fastboot/adb if you don't already have them (again I'm on a mac search for it if you need help)
1) Download http://www.rogers.com/dream-zip
2) extract DREAIMG.nbh from the zip file and put it into a directory accessible from fastboot
3) enter fastboot mode on the phone
4) run 'fastboot oem rebootRUU' to put the phone into ruu usb mode
5) run 'fastboot flash nbh DREAIMG.nbh' (specifying the rogers nbh)
5b) wait for everything to flash .. this will take a few mins
6) if the phone dosn't reboot its self run 'fastboot oem powerdown' then boot normally
Once installed + running your re-rooting info is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733128

2) extract DREAIMG.nbh from the zip file and put it into a directory accessible from fastboot

What are you seeing when attempting to flash recovery?
So when you reboot your phone you see an unlocked lock under the colourful "X"? If you do, you have indeed unlocked your bootloader and have a proper fastboot setup.
Now you need to boot back into the bootloader [Trackball + Power]. Place the AmonRa recovery image into the "tools" folder of your sdk and rename it simply to "recovery.img". Then run the command
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On the top right of your phone screen you will see a progress bar. Once it is complete, boot into the new recovery by fully powering down, thenholding [Volume Down + Power ], selecting "Recovery" from the list and tapping the power button to confirm selection.
Double post.
We are all jumping to conclusions here...let's start from the beginning.
OP - have you turned your phone on?
(I crack myself up)
Hahaha what the hell?
ok so i renamed the AmonRa recovery image to recovery.img and put it in the tools folder on my desktop and booted the phone in bootloader then tryed to run the command on the computer and I cant get it to work what am i suppost to type
I would try putting the recovery.img SDK\ dir, then using fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
easiest way

The tools folder is where fastboot lives so unless he puts the sdk\tools path in his global path, he will have to type tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
OP - if you type fastboot devices, do you get an item list that displays your device?

go back to recovery, wipe everything (except your sd card). Flash your rom and if needed, the g-apps package (cyanogen rom additional step). Tell it to reboot and wait for it to boot up.
Sounds like you didn't wipe and got it stuck in a bootloop.
All is well thanks a lot guys
It's not hard to root the Nexus at all. I had adb and fastboot all set up for my Dream. It only took me maybe 2 minutes from when I unboxed my Nexus to having unlocked the bootloader. But he got it working now so it's good.
Hi there.
This is not the first problem I have had with my G1 and Cyanogen cm5 or cm6. Yesterday my phone was working just fine, battery got low so I turned it off and out it on the charger. So I go to turn the phone on and I am stuck at the bootscreen.
I can get into fastboot use the cam/power button combo. But I can not get into recovery at all.
At the hboot/fastboot screen I have the following listed, BTW it's the screen with the 3 androids at the bottom on skateboards.

I have been able to flash recovery via fastboot, now just trying to get a good image on there to reflash.
Also curious about this.. friend's having the same problem with the same rom.
Well I am back up and running.
What I had to do was flash a new recovery image using fastboot. Once I did that I was able to boot into recovery; wipe everything and reflash a new ROM (went with SuperBad, since CM keeps messing me up).
If you need more details, let me know.

Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The standard procedure is to power on the phone with camera/power button combo, be sure to get the phone into fasboot mode.
Open up the CMD window in windows, CD to the directory you have the recovery.img file in. Use the above command. Then you can wipe and reinstall the update.zip with another rom.
That should do it,l assuming you already installed all the USB and ADB drivers and software.

So what is CMD and what do you mean "CD to the directory you have the recovery.img file in." I did some research on xda-forums about adb, sdk, fasboot. Do I need to do that and install all those programs. As you can tell I am a new to this. So I need some thorough directions. Thank you so much for helping. I need to get back to Android, right now I am using an old blackberry......and it totally sucks!
CMD will bring up the DOS window in windows. Go to the START button and look for RUN, them type in CMD. A black window will pop up.
CD means change directory. Example: cd c:\temp\adb will bring you to that exact directory. Just make sure you remember where you put the recovery.img file and CD to that.
I would go to this post and follow the directions to install ADB and the USB drivers.

Reinstalling recovery, then installing the latest nightlies did the trick for me. Did not need to wipe.
Hope this helps.
Tried to install Cyanogen 6.1... It failed.
From there the device booted up normally on a fresh start, but I tried to recover my backup and that is where everything got all messed up.
Im stuck on the G1 screen.
Ive gotten it to the fastboot mode and Im downloading what I think I need to get my phone working again. Ive downloaded the Andriod 1.6 image from the HTC website. Do I need the recovery? I just want 1.6 until I have time to try and get Cyanogen installed.
Im currently installing JDK for the Andriod SDK.
Am I headed in the right direction?
I was using ROM Manager with Clockwork Mod. My old ROM was Super E... Not sure what version, but it was Andriod 2.1

And spl? Do u have and eng spl? (S-off). If so u could fastboot erase your system and try to flash the rom through recovery. And fastboot flash a recovery of your choice first. Have u tried going on ezterry's thread with the new radio/spl and going that route?
Not sure what the version of the SPL is, but I know it is off. I'll check his thread out and give it a try. I might end up finding someone who actually knows what they are doing, or buying the Nexus S.
Ok. If u follow his thread exactly and fastboot flash the radio/recovery/spl u should end up with everything as described in the thread and be able to move on with cm6 with appropriate kernel. Alternatively u could boot into fastboot and open up your terminal on your computer and type in code to fastboot recovery of your choice (after it's download and put in sdk/tools folder on your PC) he has amonra link in his thread for download . Then type fastboot erase system -w (hit enter). When it's done type fastboot erase boot (hit enter). Then power down. Power back into recovery with the rom on your sdcard and flash away.
That is actually what I'm trying to do. Its just about my only option at this point.
Im having problems getting everything set up correctly though.
What are u having problems setting up?
I installed Andriod SDK, seems to be working.
Downloaded the drivers, which seems to have stopped my computer from seeing the phone.
I downloaded the Fastboot.exe, tried to run it but it cannot find ADB.dll ( Pretty sure thats what it was.)
I was basically following the steps on the cyanogen wiki.
When I have some time, I will try the Fastboot for noobs guide.
I think I followed a guide in androiddevelopers.com or something like that. If I find it again ill post a link. I don't think I ran a fastboot exe file though. Just have it in my androidsdk/tools folder. Added the variable to my paths and was good to go. Not at my PC currently though.
Edit: developer.android.com/sdk/
I believe is what I followed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
Following this for fastboot.
I cannot update anything. Home + power doesnt do anything.
Only thing I can access is fastboot mode.
Fortunately my radio is up to date, so I assume my SPL is as well.
Going to attempt to try the fastboot step, once I can get the SDK working correctly
edit: I knew if I spent enough time working at it that I'd get it working.
Only problem now is getting my device to be listed.
Edit2: at first when I entered fastboot mode, I would get the "Add new hardware" for the device "Andriod 1.0"
It now says "andriod bootloader interface"
I feel like I'm so close. I'm going to keep playing with it, but what can I do to get my device listed when I type the command "Fastboot devices"?
Edit 3: Awesome. I got fastboot to work and my phone is recognized. Only problem now is getting my SD card reader to work so I can put the proper files on
Final edit: MY phone is killing SD cards for some reason. Don't know what to do
Got the SD cards to work, for some reason though, some of the commands are not working. When I type fastboot shell, I just get the usage doc.
When I do fastboot update, I get the following: error: failed to load 'update.zip'
What are u trying to do in fastboot?

Well, I fixed my phone. Back to its original state.
I guess my only question at this point my only question is if I switch to Cyanogen 6.1, will it be less buggy than my Super E ROM?
For anyone wondering, Holding home + end for about 25 seconds is what I did. From there I just went to nandriod and tried to recover the same backup that gave me the problem.
I would say no. It will not be less buggy. U can always flash and try different roms though for experiment sake. Glad u got it back up

I bought a faulty Nexus one from ebay, thought I can fix it, as I did buy a faulty desire from ebay and was able to fix it. This time im not so lucky I guess.
So here it is:
The phone is stuck at X when booting normally.
I can access HBoot (But not Hboot USB Plug, because USB debugging is not enabled) and Fastboot USB. I unlocked Hboot. Fastboot in PC recognizes the phone but ADB does not as usb debugging is not enabled.
The phone is not Rooted
Here are my ideas so far:
Get somehow debugging on with some commands (No luck from reshearching in google)
Reflash stock rom with PASSIMG.ZIP in sdcard, but my phone does not recognize the file from my sdcard (I'm pretty certain im doing something wrong or my idea is somehow wrong)
Flash new images through FASTBOOT, but every time Signature check fails (Shipped-roms.com).
Root with superboot, but signature check failed here too.
Flash a recovery, signature check fails.
I will reguraly update my tries
Please suggest correction to my ideas or suggest new ones!
Help will be much appreciated!
I admit it, the phone might be briked, but I want to make sure that I have tried everything before I abandon this project.
And ofcourse I have no Warranty.
What file are you using for passimg.zip? Make sure it's not a zip inside a zip.
What images are you using via the fastboot flash command?

You didn't unlock the bootloader, it seems - because if you did, it wouldn't be checking signatures, and you'd be able to flash anything.
First of thanks to both of you for helping.
I'm pretty sure that i do not have zip inside zip and I downloaded them from shipped roms.com -> android -> Passion-> PASSIMG_Google .... .ZIP, (Then renamed it ofcourse) Is there a difference what version of android i use?
The issue with this is, it checks the SD CARD and does not find anything. I have seen from google that the most common issue is that it starts to check the .zip file but then aborts. Does the SDCARD have to be a goldcard (I do have a goldcard but it might be faulty, right?)
I tried fastboot flash PASSIMG_Google.... .ZIP; Fastboot Flashall ( With having boot, recovery, system in my fastboot folder)
Maybe I should try to flash everything the .zip has in it seperately because that succeded for boot, system and recovery but I was too afraid to flash every partitation (Like Radio which seems to be the scariest and the most easiest way to brick phone)
For the third answer, I have ***UNLOCKED*** in bootloader in purple and top on the screen.
Once again thanks and keep suggesting!
Unpack the ZIP and flash each image separately.
Leave the radio as is, if it's updated enough (5.08 or 5.12). In any case, fastboot won't allow you to flash bad radio - and the risk of bricking the phone using fastboot is near 0.
For passimg.zip, you need to download the FRG33 shipped ROM from shipped-roms.com then EXTRACT the zip file that is inside the zip that you downloaded. Rename that file to passimg.zip
For fastboot, flash boot and system seperately.
When you boot the device normally, do you see the lock icon below the four colored x?

Okay,
Did it one by one (PASSIMG_Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_release_signed.zip):
Succeeded:
Boot, Recovery, System and Userdata (that was only 3Kb)
Failed with signature check (Remote:Signature check failed):
Splash1, spcustom,
Did not do:
Radio
I'm going to post more details:
When booting up, it displays the X normally with the unlocking badge on the bottom of the screen and vibrates once. Then it goes black for a second or even less, the same images comes on and then it vibrates 6-7 times.
now that you successfully flashed the stock recovery, cam you boot into it?

Nope, it does that what I described on the previous post
Oh and what's more it randomly during no activity being in fastboot vibrates as well for 5 times or so. It does this rarely but it's there

Thanks, Well thats it then for now, just have to figure out what to do now
Sounds like you need to get the PASSIMG.zip method to work, or unlock and flash a new recovery like amon ra, and flash a full rom with sig checks off.

Ok, but can you boot into recovery? In other words, boot into the bootloader and select recovery.
any solution?

Did you try all the solutions suggested above (passimg, fastboot flash, etc)? If yes then no I don't think so.
