Rogers HTC Dream Build help

I am trying to restore my phone to the original state.
I managed to get root but I stupidly put in a theme that messed up my phone.
Every time I go into the recovery utility the Build says:
CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF
How do I get rid of this and put the real Build back?
I have been searching for hours.
please help!

Now it wont even get past the Rogers boot screen! HELP!!!!

That would be the build for your recovery; it's irrelevant unless you want your phone back to exactly how it was when you first got it.
You'll need to restore a nandroid backup. It shouldn't be hard to find out how to do it but try here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538134.

reloading the boot.img and system.img from that link should set it back to stock Rogers.

You seem to misunderstand me. I assume you want it to run like how it did when you first got it. And that's exactly what you have done from following the thread I linked you, I assume.
The CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF is ONLY for the recovery. It doesn't have anything to do with your boot problem.

This statement is not quite correct.
To get it EXACTLY like it was before. You would also need to do something about that recovery.img (which is called CyanogenMod v1.2 + JF). Unless you're returning the phone to Rogers or you have OCD, that should not matter and doing what the thread says will be fine.

thank you for your help. got everything to work properly!

need help recovering G1

okay i really need some help.
ive tried all the steps to recover my phone.
i get to the g1 screen when i power it up.
i can still get in to recovery menu.
ive tried to do a wipe.
please i need help.
ive also tried reinstalling rc29 with the original spl
but my radio is still 2_22_19_26I
PLEASE I NEED HELP!
or if there is a way that i can make it look like i never touched it then im still able to return it
so anything would help. links also

if you put the DREAIMG.nbh on your phone via bootloader it will reset the radio and spl to stock and everything else will be stock so that you can return the phone as though you never did anything to it

if your phone is not messed up then there is no reason to return it. if you keep it at stock rc29 then it will update to 1.5 firmware within 72 hours supposedly or if you still want root follow these steps in this thread. this is the probably the most reliable way to root your phone, and since it is not as automated as some of the other threads, you might learn some things about your phone in the process http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480

do you have a modified recovery image on the phone or were you able to get that far. if not just take it by where you got it and tell them you got an ota update then wouldn't boot up past the g1 screen

Stock ZV8

Hello all! I am currently on Stock ZV8. Is there any probability that the All-in-one root tool will be updated to support getting root from ZV8? I've tried the downgrade to ZV7 and it just so happens I'm not that skilled to get it to work. Thanks for your thoughts,
-Trevor
I should have updated here and not at the end sorry!
WOW was that fun! I followed the instructions on your link and was able to successfully downgrade to ZV7 non root.
Then I used the Allinone to root while on ZV7.
I then used MT's method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1583023 to keep root through ZV8 and get CWM back.
Then I just wiped and flashed breakout.
It wasn't hard, I just took my time and followed each instruction very deliberately. I got confused because it said to extract the .tot file. Well there was no need for that.
It's all fresh in my memory if anyone needs any help Thanks for everyone here helping me!

What kind of problem do you seem to have???
The AIO is simply plug in your ZV7 phone click #1
Update the phone
Click #2.??

The problem is I'm stock ZV8 (not rooted). I cannot get CWM to install so I can't flash to ZV7. It is unfortunate

when i got to ZV8, running #2 didn't work, so i reran #1 from the aio tool then ran #2 and it got me all squared away. i then downloaded quickboot to access cwm.

I guess I'll give it a shot, I didn't think I could root from ZV8

I did everything you did up to there but the #1 and #2 didn't work as I ended up in unrooted VZ8.
I though I was screwed so I figured I'd Factory Reset.
Selected Factory Reset.
It rebooted the phone and I suddenly found my self in CWM..
SO I factory reset from there and flashed Break Out..
Reset the phone and ended up back in CWM and I'm currently trying to get around this because it keeps taking me back to CWM no matter what I do

I'm still stock ZV8 I got this error:

ATM I've gotta say consider yourself lucky your phone boots up. I'm messing around in CWM with backups to see if anything will fix my broken phone. Luckily I've got a backup that used to work, the Stock 7 rom and Breakout and Gingervolt. I'm hoping I can restore/wipe/replace something to let my phone boot

Yeah I think I'll just wait till a ZV8 All-in-one root comes around.

This might help you get past CWM if you're stuck there:

It did but I found it here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161537&highlight=factory+reset
So you may be able to put this file on your SD card Factory reset your phone from where your at. install your new rom (if thats what you were trying to do) then flash the file above.
I'm just hoping with all the flashing I did above I didn't loose the ZV8 part needed for Break Out to work..
Hey I didnt.. Sweet ish. Now I'm getting the force close which apparently is fixable. I'm happy now

You do not need CWM installed to get to V7. Just go here, follow instructions and choose the V7.tot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386

If you are using Windows 7, I would recommend turning UAC off before installing LGNPST. It will save you alot of headaches.

[Q] Seems like I have the first bricked note 3

So I was messing with the system permissions in Es file exolorer, when I accidently set everyrhing to 666. As soon as I hit back I knew I was done for. I started getting foce closes on everything. I reset the phone hoping I could factory reset and be ok; but it keeps looping back to recovery when I turn it on. Im not home/in front a computer right now....but it seems my only hope is odin with the root files. I havent been able to find a stock rom for this phone. Att sucks for locking the bootloader. I will be donating to the bounty when I get in the house.
Anyone have any suggestions or know where a stock rom is oosted?

go to root de la vega site, and download the root. there is an odin image there to restore you to stock. you are ok.

thanks
Thanks a lot. Finally home will try right now

NO GO
Ok so the root de la vega seems to have been taken down since there is a new method. And I cant find the firmware for our phones,
What will happen if I try to load a tmobile firmware to the phone?
At this point I think I have a brick and might try it.

Thanks for the help guys. Im up and running again.

First? No.
I bricked my phone well over 10 times already since the day got it. (Damn you framework-res.apk and androidpolicy.jar )
It's all part of the fun! Glad to hear you're back up and running.

Bricked
Well, I've done it too, but mine brick is probably worse. I updated with OTA update, then attempted to root so I tried flashing the Odin inside the Vega package, just to find out the OTA patched the "holes", now I'm stuck at the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
So I tried the One Click from the Vega package, but it doesn't do it, it fails with write protect error.
Kies don't have emergency recovery either, and won't even recognize the device.
I'm thinking I have to wait for the actual updated one click comes out to fix it.
Please be warned, DON'T try it

There are quite a few of us in that situation. There are a number of people working on it. Hopefully something will come up soon. I wish AT&T would actually release official firmware for our phone through Kies. Would make the recovery process so much faster than having to wait for people to rip MJ5 and re-package it.

i get a black screen....Help
i went ahead and rooted with kingo and deleted some stuff in the system/app folder and now after reboot i get com.google.process.gapps, dropbox, setup wizard and chaton [ unfortunately process has stop ] and it goes into a reboot loop, i can stop the reboot loop when i reroot with kingo but then all i get is a black screen with no apps, launcher, no access to any applications other than the systems settings. Pls help...

Me too - figured I'd wait a week before rooting, didn't even bothering to check xda, my bible on such matters, and her I am thinking I know better.
... neeeds me phooooooneeee!!!!!!!!

Finger touch area to small?

So I tried to update TWRP and it said unsuccessful because I probably had the latest version. (Using TWRP manager) Then a box popped up asking if I wanted to boot into recovery, I hit ok because I had to install something.
When it loaded it was stretched out and I ha had to touch above the buttons to use them. Figuring it was just TWRP being silly I rebooted and now the whole phone is doing it. It's like the area it registers touch was shrunk. The pen works fine, and that's how I'm typing this now.
Any ideas on what happened/how to fix it? I've tried rebooting a few times, and changing the dpi.

If you can, try taking a backup using TWRP and then ODIN to stock to see if that changes anything.

Does anyone have the stock firmware for the T3? I can't find them

It never fails, search and search and find nothing. Post about it and find it in 2 seconds..
Will update when I'm done

Finally back to stock, still having the issue. Is there a guide to removing TWRP, looks like it'll have to go in for repair

Odin the base and it'll be removed

I don't have the files to Odin.
I just got my replacement, can anyone tell me how to pull the files I need from it to flash to the old phone?
