[Q] Need help from the pros! Rogers HTC Dream rooting and modding!

Long time reader, first time poster (intimidated in the past)! Hi guys!
So here you go guys, another one who ventured into modding his phone. Seems like following the steps wasn't really going to seal it for me so I'll explain what I did and you tell me what I did wrong.
- Installed Eclipse and Android SDK and fastboot tool on my comp.
- Followed Charrion's guide to one-click rooting my device also using haykuro's root kit
*Followed his steps BUT I actually made a nandroid backup and saved it on my computer.
- Installed the latest cyanogen ROM (from their wiki) on the root of the sdcard and renamed it update.zip
After that, I followed haykuro's guide down to the first commands (after putting the radio and recovery.img on the sdcard from haykuro's give me root)
Used fastboot to input the following comands:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then when I try to reboot into recovery mode, I get stuck on the Rogers screen. I can still access the fastboot and when the device is plugged in through usb it shows fastboot usb on the top left but I just can't access the recovery menu.
Can someone help me? Just getting used to this forum, sorry for not following any procedures. I did read the forum rules and searched the forums. If a thread already exist, I just didn't search well enough.
Thank you
UPDATE:
I use the command prompt to communicate with my Dream in fastboot usb mode and I get the following errors:
C:\Users\Steven>fastboot erase boot
erasing 'boot'... OKAY
C:\Users\Steven>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'... OKAY
C:\Users\Steven>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
I may have a bricked phone! Keeping faith in the hopes that one of you comes and saves me!

New development!
My problem was of course a noob problem! Charrion's post on another thread helped making it clear. My .img were in the same folder as fastboot but I had to specify the entire path for it to work!
Anyways got into the recovery menu and now flashed the latest cyanogen rom to my device but now it's still stuck on the Rogers screen!
Any idea?
To help, here's the info on the fastboot screen:
Dream PVT 32B ENG S-Off
HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-2.22.19.261
There!
Thank you in advance!

Can't boot into recovery

Having trouble with Rogers HTC Dream, I had the latest CM rom running, but last night it started to have trouble booting, and would only boot when plugged in to my PC. I thought to reinstall so I wiped system, flashed radio and recovery but I cannot boot into recovery no matter what I do. I can get into fastboot no problem and it shows the following:
DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
HBOOT=1.33.2005 (DREA21000)
CPLD-4
RADIO-3.22.26.17
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm praying I can get this thing working again
If it wasn't clear, I can't boot into anything else either, I can only boot into fastboot mode.

Get the Amon Ra's recovery image and try flashing recovery via fastboot.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

i've tried that a bunch of times with different versions, none of them will boot, I am trying to restart from DREAIMG.nbh, but my phone is saying the checksum is incorrect?
The one in CM's wiki for full update is taking forever to dl, so i googled and found one the same size, is there a specific version i need to get?

RC29 is the one you need

Do NOT flash any NBH files!!!
You have fastboot, that is ALL you need!
Your recovery doesn't boot because you have an EBI0 recovery image installed and an EBI1 radio!!! Fastboot in an EBI1 recovery or an EBI0 radio and EBI0 boot.

[Q] fastboot signature check failed?

i have the latest radio and hboot for G1 (check sig) and in fastboot mode it says S-on.. now im having trouble flashing a custom splash screen via fastboot and i read somewhere that the S-on may be why.. do i need to downgrade to engineering spl to use fastboot flash method? I keep getting a... <bootloader> checking signature failed! in cmd... but i do have fastboot enabled and working properly..

Did you follow ezterry's on how to install the spl and radio:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139? did u follow these steps for installing the spl?
== Installing ==
(Note: Please Do read the information on the SPL below before actually installing)
1) Take a nandroid backup of your current rom (mandatory if you are trying to move the current rom to the new radio/SPL) to simplify things put any update.zips you expect to need on the SD card now
2) enter fastboot mode
3) flash the files and other operations via fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-dream-v1.7.0-cyan.img
fastboot flash radio radio-2.22.27.08.img
fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.0013d.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
now you will see you have an s-on boot loader with 1.33.0013d as its version
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
please remember while fastboot erase works; fastboot flash does not so be careful *not* to remove the recovery
4) Boot into recovery
5) install a system from backup or as a fresh rom some options are:

You have a perfected SPL installed on your phone (0013d), so you do not have full fastboot support and you are not able to flash a custom splash screen.
If you want to downgrade, flash the orange-xxx.nbh file from Terry's thread (can be found in my signature) and after that you will have an engineering SPL. With this you should be able to flash a custom splash screen. After that you can go back to 1.33.0013d/2.22.28.25 ... everything can be done using fastboot, so your risks to brick your phone are very(?) limited ...

yeah i figured it out thanks guys!! had to temp flash the engineering spl to do what i wanted.. than jus re flashed 0013d everything is all set thank you guys though!!!

I accidentally removed the recovery... and still having same issues with S-ON with HBOOT-1.33.0013d.... need help getting recovery back on my phone. have new radio too.

You (as I see was indicated in the thread before) go to the 2708+ kernel/SPL/Radio thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
This has all the information on the use of 2708/2835 radios and the 1.33.0013d SPL including a section on what to do if you loose access to both the system and recovery in the '== Important Information about 1.33.0013d ==' section [Its important to read that section anyway if you are using 1.33.0013d]
If you still have access to boot, just use flash_image or rom manager to restore your recovery image.

pls help a noob..g1 cm6 upgrade gone wrong

hi, i've spent days searching for a soln. frm previous post but could'nt find one...i followed d instructions on this link wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod to root and flash cm6. I succesfully flashed radio to 2.22.23.02, then flashed dangerSpl 1.33.2005..then i went on to flash cm6 and it installed without a flaw and i got welcome to cyanogenMod 6..then i flashed gapps succesfuly...bt d problem came when i did d final reboot, d phone went to bootloader automaticaly(i don't knw hw) and installed d dreaimg.nbh file i used to downgrade and root earlier and left in d root of my sdcard(foolish me) and askd me to reboot..i did and was stuck in d t-mobile g1 screen. I can't get into recovery by presn dwn both home+power bt can get into bootloader (camera+power)..nw on my fastboot screen i saw
Dream pvt 32b eng s-off
Hboot-1.33.2005 (drea*****)
Cpld-4
Radio-1.22.12.29
Apr 20 2009
....i can also get fastboot to communicate with d phone tru cmd prompt on windows..
Apologies 4 d lenghty tale bt i seriously need help..tnx in anticipation.☺

Well at least you see your mistake, right now,because you flashed the dreaimg.nbh you lost your recovery and have an incompatible radio/SPL combo. This may turn out to be a brick but you said you still have fastboot commands so hopefully your OK.
you will want to boot into fastboot and flash the radio from there (.02)
You will need to extract the radio from the .zip you downloaded from the cyanogen wiki, rename in radio.img
Now from cmd type
fastboot devices
If you see yours proceed,
Now type
fastboot -w
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Now type
fastboot reboot-bootloader
If your good then you will see your radio version will be back to where it should be
Now get the recovery.img you got from the wiki
go back to fastboot mode and type
fastboot devices
(Make sure your there again)
fastboot -w
(I'm a wipeaholic)
fastboot flash recovery.img
Now reboot to recovery
If this doesn't all work post back and we can see what else you need to do
Oh and if you don't know how to get fastboot running search around a bit there are tons of tutorials
Oh, one more, remove the dreaimg.BH from sdcard or at least rename it

thanks boss!! Followed your instructions and successfully installed cm6 without probs...my first andriod upgrade....tnx again man..+1 added

^^^This is what I am basically stuck at on my fastboot screen, I can't boot my phone up anymore and I can't reboot or power down without coming back to the bootloader screens.
I attempted to unroot and relock my HTC One and I apparently have failed. I own the m7wls and I had Android Revolution HD on my phone, I noticed I had issues with it so I wanted to take it off so I looked for a video on how to do it. The first thing I did was take the adt bundle folder with the fastboot file in it and I opened the cmd to type in: fastboot oem lock. Then after I did that I installed the RUU I believed was necessary to boot my phone back to stock and I am getting errors from the setup. So from this I don't have any clue what I can do anymore.
I hope I am as descriptive as possible and if you need anymore details I will try and provide it.
Thank you (PLZ HALP),

Why don't you unlock the bootloader, and then flash a custom recovery and then install a dif rom?
while in fastboot type in fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin (Providing your unlock_code.bin from htc is in the folder with your sdk, Then download a recovery for your phone TWRP or CWM and put in the same sdk folder on your computer. then at the fastboot screen type in fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img (Replace recoveryname with the name of the recovery in your sdk folder) then boot into recovery, If you still have a rom on your phone install that rom from recovery, if not you will have to sideload using recovery. Hope that helps

Here use this link, This will help you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576995
Download Full unmodified Firmware (fastboot flashable) http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23311191640114124
rename firmware to firmware.zip
-copy firmware.zip to your sdk folder
-boot into bootloader
-plug in usb
-select fastboot option (screen should say fastboot usb)
-type Fastboot oem rebootRUU
-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
-when it's done, type Fastboot reboot
If it says something about failing and to reflush re-run the this command again Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

I just unlocked it and was able to turn on my phone now, what do I need to do to get my phone back to stock again, or is there any suggestions as to what I can do with my phone

I would suggest installing a custom recovery and then installing a rom and then run a RUU to return to stock, I posted the link above to help you get through the process
