I really need help!!!

Hi I'm new in here...I have HTC dream from Rogers Canada...I got it a couple months ago
I just tried to root it..and worked fine, but the dialer didn't work
I couldn't call, just receive calls..so I tried to un-root it
but suddenly it stopped working...every time I turn it of
it keep the Rogers startup and stays that way
I really don't know what to do...if anyone have any solution..I really need it fast
sorry for the trouble and thanx

try looking through that and see if you can help yourself there.
thanx...I'll try
Also try posting question in the Q&A section
The general cause of malfunctions is because people don't flash their RADIO and SPL. Your phone is probably? not bricked... yet
I used the steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4280573#post4280573
I don't know...if anyone can explain to me what to do...I'll be really thankful
nevermind....it finally worked.....I was about to lose hope
but I re-do the root steps...and it worked..although I did it yesterday, but it didn't work
anyway...thanx everyone

If you want to overclock or mess with your phone and know nothing read nothing and learn nothing before you start be prepared to throw a dead phone in the bin .
So take your time and read up first .

Hi, I have no 3BR either but I found an app that gives you the 3BR, it's called Quick Boot and is available in the market, hope that helps.
brian.
That app just goes to force shut down all the time
Jj i understand that you can brick your phone. Ive messed with a psp and that took days of reading. Just need to get this 3 button working and then go from there

I restored download mode on my phone using this guide, you need to read it very carefully though, as I bricked my phone on the first time trying (used odin v1 instead of 1.3), luckily if you do brick then you can use the download mode jig.
got it going ha ha now try to find out how to clock this baby
is anyone can help me with that would be great.
+1 to jjgane and DrFredPhD

better get the reading glasses out. thanks for that
from what guides ive read through they all seem to be for people who know what there doing.
dont get me wrong i build my own computers (not exactly rocket science) and ive flished my gpu and ive flash WII's and psp's although i did have to do alot of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
all seem to be going over my head a little
OP updated with another question. dont want to keep opening new threads. so if someone could help i would be grateful thank you
of reading on them there were many noob guides or at least semi noob guides
No all you can do is read whats posted first ..
Noob guides are of no use 99% of noobs dont read guides .
Overclocking most definitely advanced users .
User must be able to recover from bad flash and no how to flash via Odin via CPW update get into download mode and use a recovery jig .

If you bricked following an official upgrade, contact Samsung.
If you bricked because you didn't follow a guide properly, or did not know what you were doing, then your mostly on your own.
I highly doubt your the 1st person to do this, and I would take a guess that there exists a guide or method to unbrick.
My advice to you is strangely the first rule of XDA, Search. The information is there, you just need to find it.
Hard Brick?
Is it hard bricked or soft bricked?
Can you get to the download screen by pressing power and vol down at the same time? Or can you get to the computer / exclamation mark screen? If you leave the phone to charge overnight?
That would be soft bricked.
If you can't get to either of those then you are prob hard bricked and will need serious help. But there are people who can help you out on these forums. I remember seeing someone in the U.S. who had a JTAG and charged $50. If you're in Europe that's probably not a solution though!
Try here
...and as per post #3 you could search yourself

How long did you wait? 1 minute or 10? Initial boot can take a bit.
Look at the threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
There are some tutorials on un-bricking and fixing stuck installs.
SOLVED

I've had glitches on occasion during install, but was always able to get back to recovery and re-install. Re-wiping is VERY important.
I think the important thing is that you were following a procedure, and because of that, you were able to identify where your error was and recover from it.
