Now I can't install any rom...
I can tell you what you should've done. Post your questions in the Q&A section. Also if you flashed this because you wanted the newest CM then you didn't follow the directions correctly and now you lost root congrats.
question and answer section is where this belongs....and i don't know what you were trying to do but you need to re read the instructions to do so......
You cannot install any rom because you have loose your root as when flashing HTC Recovery Image 1.6 only you will lose root. So you need to root again before installing any other rom
Before we can help you, we need to know what exactly you flashed, and how you flashed it. I am assuming that you downloaded the ADP1 images of 1.6 from HTC's site. Here are a few questions that will help others guide you to an answer:
Did you download the package to be used through the recovery tool (booting with HOME+POWER) or through the fastboot tool (booting into the SPL with CAMERA+POWER)?
If you used the fastboot method, did you follow HTC's directions and flash all of their images, or did you manually flash each partition?
If you manually flashed the partitions, did you also flash over the recovery image?
Because of the way that HTC limited their ROM, if you did not retain your recovery partition, you will most likely need to start from scratch. (If you flashed HTC's ROM using recovery mode by booting with HOME+POWER held down, or if you used the fastboot method, but did not manually flash the partitions preserving your existing recovery partition, then you need to start from scratch.) Thankfully, it is now easier than ever to do this. Here are the steps you need to perform:
Download RC29 image (DREAIMG.NBH). You can find links to this file on the forum.
Download cyanogen's recovery image (1.4).
Copy both the DREAIMG.NBH file and the cm-recovery-1.4.img file to the root of your SD card. You can do this easily by mounting the SD card, and just copying it over from your computer.
Boot into your phone's SPL by starting up while holding both CAMERA+POWER.
When the SPL finds the DREAIMG.NBH file on your SD card, it will automatically prompt you to install the image. Follow the prompts. This will leave your phone with the first shipped version of Android (1.0).
After the install has finished, reboot the phone by pressing CALL+MENU+POWER at the same time. This will boot you into an old version of Android.
In order to proceed any further, you must re-register your phone. Just enter you Google Account information once the phone is booted.
Change your phone's settings to allow you install non-Market applications. Do this by going to Settings > Applications > Unknown sources.
Open the Browser application, and navigate to http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/. From there, download the current version of flashrec.
Lauch flashrec. First you must backup your current recovery image. Then, tell it to flash "/sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img".
Now you have a recovery partition that will allow you to flash any image you want—problem solved.
However, please remember this is development forum, and not the Q&A. Please do post your questions in the Q&A forum. Also, please use the search function, as this type of question has been answer MANY times before.

Oh~ thank you very much.
I'm in this situation because I'm not using the CM recovery 1.4 and I flashed the HTC recovery image 1.6.
I've rerooted my phone.
I'm sorry if this is posted anywhere, but I spent a couple hours last night and another couple hours today searching here and in Google with no luck.
-Skip me for TL;DR-
I got a G1 when they first came out, and rooted it as soon as I could. I ran JF1.5 then JF1.6 then after a while upgraded to Cyanogen. It was great and my GF still uses it and loves it. I got a Nexus One about a month after they came out and I've been in love. I haven't went to Cyanogen since, only because the stock rom has been great and I haven't needed any extra features yet.
Now that 720p is available along with a few other things I'd like, I want to upgrade finally.
-TL;DR end-
Basically I'm trying to say I'm not an idiot or very new to loading roms and toying with an Android device.
From past experiences I basically know the process of root/recovery/rom etc.
I loaded froyo onto the phone when it was available via the stock recovery console and an update.zip ... no problems.
Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader.
Installed Modaco's superboot.
And used fastboot to push recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1-cyan.img
After that I turned the phone on, and logged in to check it out and make sure I had root. Everything was running great (Froyo saves your app installs in the cloud!!!) and I did, in fact, have root. All seemed well.
-The Problem-
Now, I can't load any more update.zip files. Nothing at all. Stock rom, modded rom, rom updates, anything. When I try to install any update.zip I get the following output:
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
At the top of the recovery screen it reads: Android system recovery <3e>
If that makes any difference....
NOTE: I can still use fastboot to push new recovery images, which I've tried.
System information below:

Thanks in advance for any help/info!!
Looks like you still have the stock recovery image... do you have backup & restore options iin recovery mode, if not, you still have the stock recovery, reflash Amon-RAs recovery...
No, I don't have backup or restore in the options, neither in recovery or fastboot.
This doesn't make much sense. Here's what I'm doing. It looks like it should be working fine:
Code:
C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\meh\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
HT9CWP806497 fastboot
C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\meh\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot.exe flash recovery
recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img
sending 'recovery' (3948 KB)... OKAY [ 0.582s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 1.439s]
finished. total time: 2.021s
Edit:
I was thinking maybe I need a different radio image, but then I remembered reading that Froyo came with a new radio image (right?). And I couldn't install a new radio image anyway because the update.zip files won't load. I'm pretty stumped here....
Edit again:
The code above was what I just did to flash the new recovery, and I still don't have the options to backup and restore the data.
Another edit!: I also loaded Modaco's superboot again (successfully) and started the process over again with no luck.
You don't have a backup/restore option with AmonRa's 1.7.0? That means you don't actually have the custom recovery. Your fastboot is lying to you.
In the terminal app,type "reboot recovery". What happens?
And,try dropping the ".exe" from fastboot.
what they said. Sounds like you still have the stock recovery image. Try reflashing the recovery again.
I tried both the regular RA recovery and RA Cyanogen recovery using both commands, fastboot and fastboot.exe but I continue to get the same recovery image.
I know there's no way to relock the bootloader, but is there any way to reverse what Modaco's superboot did and try that again?
Go here. Scroll to the bottom of the first post. Looks at the screenshots. Does your recovery look like that?
Nope, it's the stock recovery image with the exclamation point and Andy in the background. 4 options: reply, update.zip, factory reset, and wipe cache

Try using amon ra recovery image stock for n1, not the cyanogen version.
This one:
http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1.img
and rename it to recovery.img or something short then try the fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Confirm you have root. Go to the terminal app and type "su". What does it say?
Well root isn't necessary to flash a recovery. He just needs an unlocked bootloader.
Well, OP, you might as well just find a different computer and try it on that.

OP said he unlocked the bootloader.... so OP verify that when you TURN ON your Nexus One, the logo with the X there is a PADLOCK on the bottom of the screen. If it does, then your bootloader is unlocked and you need to install amon ra recovery.
If no padlock, you're not unlocked.
OP make life easy. Go to Market. Install ROM manager. Either install clockwork recovery, or scroll down. Select the option to flash another recovery. Flash. Done
In my G1, I cannot boot into recovery or into Android. So, I'm trying to flash Amons recovery via fastboot, which, according to the how-to, I can't, I need Engineering SPL, which I don't have. How can I fix my problem here? I have Amons recovery image in the root of my sd. and fastboot. How can I fix my problem?

Thank you muchly. I've been there before but for some reason, when I went to it again, it all clicked. I needed to do this in command prompt. *runs away before the meanies come*
Hi, I'm using Amon's Recovery Image at the moment and want to use clockworks rom manager as the Cyanogen updater isnt working for me.
Is it OK to just flash the Clockwork recovery image over my Amon recovery image.. or do I need to remove Amon first... if so how?
Thanks
before you go to clockwork,read the thread on it and the issues being reported.im also thinking this shoulda went to question section.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Just go to bootloader and type
fastboot flash recovery filename.img
No need to 'delete' clockwork mod
Sent from my Nexus One
I was wondering if I can flash my G1 back to stock form. I have the lastest Cyanogen Stable Mod, which in turn means I have the Danger SPL. Is there a way I can flash it back to stock? I have googled this a couple times and haven't found an answer.
Could someone clarify this for me? And direct me how to do this?
Thanks so much in advance.
Thread moved in G1 Q&A.
There is also an official thread of Cyanogen ROM's where you can ask, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722801

Get yourself a copy of the 1.33.2003 SPL -- it has the same partition layout as stock while being a true engineering bootloader. Boot it into fastboot mode, fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
Then go to developer.htc.com/adp.html, get the img file archive from there and fastboot it to the phone.
This gives you stock with the ability to go back to custom without having to HACK it again.

I am actually sending it in for return, they will charge me $100, if the warranty is void, and since I flashed it, it is. I want to revert it back to fully stock. To see if they catch it. Would it get rid of the custom splash image? And I am guessing I would just google for the original Google Rom?
Thanks for the help guys I got it to work.
