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] Flashing kernel -bootmagic check fail-

I've been trying for the past few days to get pershoot's newest kernel on my Dream to no avail. My ultimate goal is to get froyobylazlo ROM up and running on my aging phone.
Right now I'm trying to flash the zip using fastboot but I get the message:
sending 'recovery' (136 kb)... OKAY
writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: image error(BootMagic check fail))
I think it may have something to do with where I'm flashing it to. Any help would be appreciated.

What do you mean by "flash the zip using fastboot", what command you are using to flash the recovery.......

fastboot flash recovery kernelb.zip

I believe kernels are flashed from recovery instead of fastboot. Recovery is recovery, not kernel.

The command which youhave used is for flashing recovery from fastboot, it needs an img file. If you are flashing an kernel then you need to go into recovery by pressing home and power button while booting.
Which recovery you have and which rom you are using....?

I believe it's RA-dream-v1.7.0
I have been using Biffmod Leaving on a Jet Plane.
When I flash it from recovery I get:
=======================
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:No signature (7 files)
E:Verification failed
=======================
And then it brings me back to the main menu.

Aman RA does not allow to flash the unsigned file, check the zip you downloaded is good, or use a signing tool to sign that zip

So it should work if I change my recovery?

U need to upgrade your radio/spl per ezterry's 14 MB ram hack page. Keep your recovery. Just fastboot flash radio spl follow all instructions then flash rom
Edit: follow instructions in lazslo rom page too. Need an ext4 partition

Don't I have the newest radio? I'll go searching around just to make sure.
I tried reflashing both items in the dream_2708kit but my phone is still stuck in a boot loop. Is the hboot-1.33.0013d.img file the SPL?

That rom works with .25 radio. There is a flashable zip on ezterrys thread to update. Need to fastboot flash the 13d spl as well so might as well just follow all his instructions then the instructions on the rom op

Do I flash the entire zip or just the img file contained within?
Flashed successfully. Still stuck in a bootloop. This is so frustrating. orz I'm not far from just going to another ROM.
I wiped nearly everything and reformatted my ext4 partition.

What zip did u flash? The radio zip or the dream kit zip. Dream kit u have to unzip. Inside u will find radio and spl. Put those in sdk tools folder then run fastboot commands in his op to get new radio/spl. Radio zip just flash.

What spl/radio do u show having now? Let me know what u did and I can help u get up to speed. U will need the new spl/radio combo to run the newer roms out now. Don't get frustrated. U can get it. I did

I flashed the 28.25.img file contained within the zip a little further down the OP.
Even in engineering SPL (I think that's what it is (HBOOT-1.33.2010)) I can't flash the radio zip like you said. I get a:
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: image update error)

According to this u are exactly where u need to be. 13d spl and .25 radio. U should be able to flash lazslo now

I don't know man. It just won't boot. I wonder what the problem is.

Do u have fastboot set up in sdk? If so boot into fastboot, plug it in the comp, open cmd prompt, change directories to androidsdk/tools (assuming that's where fastboot file is), type fastboot devices, hit enter. Should get a serial number. If so, type:
Fastboot erase system -w (enter)
Fastboot erase boot (enter)
Then power down phone. Boot into recovery and reflash rom and don't forget the other file in the op as well. Should be right under rom link. Then reboot.

Thank you so much. I don't know what I was doing wrong before but I'm signing in right now.

Question about flashing ???

i want to flash a RADIO-2.22.28.25.img and hboot-1.33.0013d.img by a recovery because i always getting an error on fastboot and i think that's the only way i can do it.
but the warning makes me think twice.
Quote by EzTerry:
WARNING:
1) flashing a 2.22 radio via recovery if you have a 3.22 or 1.33 radio via recovery *will* brick your phone
2) flashing the 1.33.0013d spl with a 1.22 radio via recovery *will* brick your phone
through recovery i verify that i have Build : Ra-Dream-v1.7.0.
is it ok for me to cotinue flashing or not....do i have a bad radio for this procedure?

Change your title you only have what is considered a 'soft brick'
Checksum invalid means corrupt file, have you tried redownloading the .img and copying it to the sdcard. If still same error try a different usb cable.
I'm guessing your on Windows so go here http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ and install it and that way you can confirm md5 checksums

The stock image will be something like DREAMG.nbh, not .img. I think it will also re-flash your radio and SPL to stock, so I'm not sure why you would want to flash it after updating them.
I'm a little rusty on my G1, but I think that danger SPL will change your partitions, which probably causes the bootloops/boot to hboot. I think you want to flash a recovery and then flash a ROM.

Soft Bricked My G1!!!! Need Help...
I downloaded the DREAMG.nbh file about five times and tried to flash it and it gives me the same error again. All 5 from different sources.
The checksum is correct.
I uploaded the file using my card reader after completely formatting my SD card.
How do i flash a recovery with fastboot???
I thought the only way i can get it back was by flashing the DREAMG.nbh and getting the phone back to stock!!!

If you are in fastboot, then you would type this from your computer:
fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_file.img
For the G1, Amon Ra 1.7.0 is/was popular.
This assumes that you have fastboot installted on your PC! Search around, there are plenty of guides here.

If you take a look to your HBOOT-Version, you can see, that you are on the standard spl, i.e. no fastboot support. I suppose you are on the standard recovery, too, i.e. no flashing of updates unless they are signed with the phones secret key.
I suppose, you need to root and to flash at least a custom recovery before you can do anything else. Search for the rooting threads in this forum or consult the Cyanogen-Wiki to get a step by step tutorial how to do it.

yes i have standard spl...plz help me how can i install custom recovery or from wher i found signed update with phones secret key...do you have any link
