I followed the guide to root a telus hero to the T, everything worked fine, finished the last step (which was updating the radio), still with 0 problems, downloaded damage control 1.1, flashed it, and now I'm hanging at the HERO bootscreen. I know the first boot takes longer but how long are we talking here? I waited 5 minutes before taking out my battery last time.. longer?
If not, what should I flash back onto it to make it work again?

I would reccomend.V1 of damage control
What recovery image are you using?
Amon Ra

Ok buddy, this is the best advoce i can give you. Assuming you made your nandroid (you DID make your nandroid, right?!) I would flash back in recovery, then do a clean wipe, including ext and dalvk, and try flashing dcv1, not 1.1. 1.1 is a beta, v1 is much more stable. Good luck man, ill check back if you have any more questions, buts thats as far as my expertise goes!

Bad download? Try the mirror.
With the latest ra recovery, theres no need to name it update, just download it directly from your phone, to avojd mounting sd cards and whatnot, use linda or estrong to place in root, and once again; nandroid, complete wipe, and give it another go!
I followed the telus guide, at one point it got me to create a recovery.img, how do I install it though?

I haven't done anything, Amon Ra is installed so I should be fine. I'm not stupid or anything, I know everything worked fine. I downgraded, then updated my radio, put the ROM on my SD, then went to apply it's .zip, it installed fine, but now it hangs at HERO and that's it.
Just downloaded 2 mirrors of the V1 of damagecontrol, tried flashing both of them, both of them fail immediatley at "Installing update.."

Hey man! I certainly didnt mean to imply your stupid, and if i did i apologize! Im only trying to help.
we're all friends.
The one thing your steps are mjssing is the wipe. Did you wipe EVERYTHING? And you keep saying hero screen...are you flashing v1 or v1.1? V1 has the nexus bootscreen...
Nandroidnandroidnandroid
Nothing about nandroid was in that post. What should I be wiping right now? Like do I use Amon Ra to and just wipe everything? Or is there anything I keep?
As in.. Data Partition, Cache Parition, Dalvik, SD:ext, battery stats, rotate settings. DO I wipe them all and then go for the install again?

Nothing about nandroid?! Whaaaaaat? Nandroid is your 100% safeguard buddy.
Yes, wipe it all. Namely data/factory, and ext. Thats in the dv1 guide.
What one are you flashing? Dv1 or tye beya?
Well, I really think Amon Ra is the true safeguard... it's a bootloader that's flashed, so no matter what happens you always have a method to wipe and write. Nandroid just saves MY phone, which was stock with nothing on it, so I genuinely don't mind.
Wiped data and cache, the others said I needed to wipe with adb and I'm not sure how but I could find out quick.
Tried to install DV1 again, same error.
Edit : Nevermind, apparently those are partitions that don't apply to me. Yeah, I wiped that all. This DV1 just won't flash. Is there any other well-working ROMs?
I lol'd.
Telus Hero is GSM, not CDMA like the TP2 I switched it out for last week.
I lol'd alot.
Working fine now, btw. Villian on it.
i guess i should have actually clicked the link you posted, or at the least googled telus

Hi all.
Followed the guide on here:
http://androidandme.com/2010/01/hacks/video-how-to-unlock-and-root-a-nexus-one/
Rooting wasnt a problem, installing the RA wasnt a problem.
It took awhile to get the phone detected in windows through the USB Debugging mode.
Flashed it using the update-cm-5.0-N1-beta3-signed update.
Now its stuck on the screen thats flash ....
Just keeps doing it over and over. WTF is happening?
Any ideas please.
Thanks

Dont know how to.
Ok detailed instructions.
You rooted and loaded Amon's recovery.(clearly being you flashed beta 3).
Did you Nandroid back up before you flashed as the directions said?
If so, you can simply restore that. and Phoen should be good.
If not,
boot back into Amon's recovery. Hold down volume thing as you click power, to get bootload, then scroll to recovery..
In Amon's recovery, you need to Wipe, Then flash Cyan's beta 3 which should be located on the top level of you SD card.
IN future. ALWAYS do Nandroid backup. I'm new, but when i screwed up i could just restore really easily. Avoided alot of pain/stress that way.

Using Amon's RA, there are a list of options, one of them is "wip", open that up and it will give you a list of things to wipe. You will want to "wipe data", "wipe dalvik-cache" and "wipe ext"... then, go to SD card and repair your ext.
Now would be a good time to add in an ext file to your SD card if you want to use apps to SD card... you cand do that in Amon's recovery as well under the SD option, just select "partition SD card FAT32, ext2" and follow the insturctions... then I would recommend selecting the "upgrade ext2 to ext3" option afterwards.
Once you have done all the wiping, partitioned your SD card, do 1 more "wipe data" for good measure, then flash CM's 5.0 beta, then flash the google apps pack, then reboot and you should be good to go.

I didnt see the Wipe option under flash from SD thats all
if you dont wipe first before installing new rom then this will happen to you.
i had the same problem and i wiped it and re-installed and it worked perfectly
theres a "wipe" option when you in the recovery boot image
Its all ok now. I got worried and flashed standard rom back using 'fastboot flash system system.something'
Then it booted fine, so turned off. Went into the bootloader, then down to recovery and saw 'Wipe'
Haha

I posted this on DamageLess' page in hopes that he could help me, but I haven't gotten a reply yet. I figure someone on this forum can help me.. Just read the paragraph and you'll know my problem...
Hey man, I really need your help
I tried using your new DCUpdater (which is a fantastic idea btw) and i'm having a major issue. My phone won't boot. At first I was having problems with SuperUser, but I fixed that by enabling USB debugging, then unplugging the phone, then using the Updater. That worked. But when I tried to reboot the phone, it wouldn't boot. I wiped, restored to my most recent backup, and it still won't boot. I wiped, manually installed your new ROM, and tried to reboot again, and that's where I am right now. It had the Quietly brilliant screen, flashed the sprint logo screen, and now it's back to the Quietly brilliant screen. I think it's in an endless boot, because as I was typing this, the screen flashed grey for a second, then it flashed the sprint logo, and now it's back to quietly brilliant. Please please PLEASE get back to me asap, because I don't know what to do.

Wipe everything.. Then dont flash or nandroid restore.. JUST reboot your phone.
Or save all your files to your computer that are on your sdcard... Repartition your sdcard. Then reflash the rom and move your stuff back.

I just did a factory reset, wiped my Dalvik cache, and wiped my sc card option thingy. I went straight from there to rebooting my phone. I'll say something if it boots now
i'd say wipe settings, wipe ext, wipe dalvik, flash rom, boot. if that doesn't work, wipe again and again then boot.

you will need amon_ra's recovery program. if you don't know what i'm talking about, you probably don't need to worry about it, because you probably aren't rooted, or more likely, even that you even have an unlocked bootloader(which will prohibit you from even installing). read up in the dev section before you even start messing around with this and waste your time, and possibly brick your phone.

theoretically, except i believe that froyo won't see your ext partition if you were using apps2sd before. i'm not positive. i've only put on the very basic apps i absolutely need, because i'll be putting enom's froyo version as soon as it lands and i don't want to waste my time. so, i didn't use titanium backup.
did anyone got a file signature error when trying to flash without a wipe?
I wiped and flashed, restored and flashed without a wipe. All installs ok, but I can't install anything, it all hangs at "installing". Seen others say this is a bug, but it is never there.
I was able to load it right over CM version I was using and have had only one problem, which was it couldn't find my location so I'm doing a wipe and flash as I type this.

if you were rooted, use paul o'brien's (modaco) zip, if not, use cyanogen's and follow his instructions. paul's is signed. if you're getting an error, check the md5 hash and make sure your download wasn't corrupted
seems that the problem is that the default recovery tool only works with google signed updates
and if you are rooted you have to use developer update, so you gotta use another recovery tool as well, like amon-ra
gotta flash this one now
Ok I dont get what I am doing wrong when I flash a custom rom. Its seems the only rom I can flash is the original one toast had with the Super user permission. When i try to flash other roms they just loop on the boot screen. I dont know what I am doing wrong I wipe the cache like it says to do.
Am I missing a step or what someone anyone let me know.
this happens to alot of people. you are not alone!
Wiped cache and user data?
I have tried that I have wiped the first three options on the wipe screen and still loops with every rom but one
Clockwork recovery doesn't wipe dalvik properly from what I hear and that would cause a loo.
I have tried clockwork and and just rebooted my phone into recovery the manual way and that still doesn't do it.
Please put the topic of the thread in the Title. That's what it is for.
Question, you said the Rom that toast first supplied. Have you done nand unlock? Most roms now require the second part to obtain full root. Fresh, damage, etc all require both steps of toasts root.
Wipe cache and data...i use tom manager to get in recovery mode then I wipe everything from there..i don't use rom recovery to wipe...just to get in recovery...

Yeah did all that too. idk what to do maybe blow up and start over.
Starting fresh does work wonders sometimes. Do you have a custom recovery flashed to the partition? And have you also double checked to make sure you can successfully remount the system? (just to ensure your name is unlocked, not entirely sure what the problem could be)
So, how do I start from stratch??
Hmmm. Well you could flash a stock Rom with no root and start back at toast's part 1 of rooting..... but I am quite sure you could just repeat part 2 of toasts rooting method. thats what i'd do. Start at part two and redo all of that. Keep that recovery flashed, then do all the wiping and just drop a Rom on your card and install it through reboot recovery command.
Just an update I did the rootinng over this time i used the Simple Root .2. Thats the 1 2 3 click method and that worked for me so now i can flash roms thanks guys

Won't boot in what way? Can you get into fastboot and/or recovery? Since you're asking about CWM, I'm assuming you can get into it.
If you did a Nandroid backup (the main point of CWM for me), you could try just restoring it. If you didn't, I'd try a wipe all settings and then reboot. You should be able to get back to a virgin state on the main OS that way.
I can get into it, the problem is i erase all data on my phone. Thanks in advance!

I'm still confused what your problem is.
You say the phone won't boot, but then you talk about erased data.
What exactly did you do to the phone? What was the last few things you did before you "broke" it?
What happens when you try to boot the phone (ie., it's powered off and you press the power button)? How far in the boot process does it go?
If your problem is that the phone boots but all your data is gone, there's no way to get back unless it auto-syncs down from Google, or you used a backup program like Titanium, or you made a nandroid backup in CWM.
If you made a nandroid, you should just be able to boot into CWM, select backup and restore and then restore your backup.
This is what happened....
I tried to replace my fonts in system that are supposed to work on a different phone. Then when i tried to boot up the phone was stuck on the silver google logo. Now, after that i went into clock work recovery and formated everything in the mounts and storage menu. After reinstalling the phones boot img, my phone freezes at the google logo. I can still get into the clockworkmod recovery. I never backed it up, but tried to use a nandroid someone posted online but i get a md5 mismatch.
Again, thank you for all your help!

Known issue. There is a thread in the Development section(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884499). The OTA "broke root."
Ouch. Now I understand.
In the future, always make a nandroid backup before messing around with things, easiest way to recover.
I see you're looking for help in this thread. Maybe they can help you.
You could also try flashing Doc's or Paul's roms also in that section.

The custom rom? No, you just go into recovery, wipe/factory reset, install from SD card, then navigate to where you put the .zip on the SD card.
I see you did try the 2.3.1 NAND backup in the development section. Try downloading it again on your PC, unzip it, then place the new folder on the clockworkmod's backup folder on your SD card. Again, do not rename it.

Be warned that if you do get the NAND to restore, you may lose clockwork recovery. I know I did when I first tried to use it.
Don't panic though, because you can fastboot flash clockwork back on from the bootloader.
