[Q] Need Help! Rogers streak

Hi i just received a streak (Rogers) with 1.6 7921.
I tried all of the recovery images but they all went to a black screen. The only one that seemed to boot was clockwork 1.8.17 but never did anything.
So i tried to install a super boot that has done something bad as after i tried to goto ATT 1.6 as stated in most of the guides i would always get the "write raw image fail with error 7.
now after installing superboot i cannot get back to the stock rogers 1.6 , all i get now is dell logo screen with the home and menu lights flashing.
updating this device is very confusing to me ive followed most things but i suppose im missing something, maybe cause its rogers? maybe someone with a rogers device can help?
can i remove the superboot at least to get it back to booing into android?
Not Android Development
Please post in th correct forum
Moved to General
Ok my rogers streak has baseband 732-us can someone please let me know how i get this to froyo (current 1.6) ive tired almost everything on this site to get it to work, i get as far as it loading te update.pkg but then i get the status 7 assert failed /tmp/boot.img error message.
im trying to goto O2 1.6 which i think is correct.

Rom Update Issue

I got the rom update utility and I followed the instructions but it wont install. It just sits at 0%. Any ideas?
Hspl......
Yeah lol skipped a step but now every NAND rom I try to install I get NAND kernal failed to load or something like that...
2.08.hspl
Plus
Radio, ..50.. version
Needed to correctly run nand. Got both those?
And no offence but " NAND kernal failed to load or something " will only make less people want to help.what error? If you missed it do it again and write the error down, with the added bonus that you can Google an exact error, you can't Google "kernel something blahblah "
These threads only work with accurate and complete info.

Invalid Operation

I am trying to ota manual update to android 2.36 on the recovery i get the error "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" then when i select update.zip i get "Invalid operation". I have hboot s-of
I had the same problem, but i have a unbranded, stock DHD
Has anyone actually been able to do it like this yet ? I've been keeping an eye on the threads and haven't seen anyone do it yet, I could have missed summat though.

Help with unroot...

A few weeks ago my old MT3G 1.0 stopped working, so I got a replacement from TMobile, the exact same model. I rooted it, but since the stock Froyo, Yoshi Ginger, and so on custom ROMs using Froyo+ are badly lagging the phone, Ive decided to unroot it with sappimg.nbh, downgrade it to Cupcake, than OTA to Donut and root back. Unfortunately, the sappimg.nbh which was running without problems with the old phone, now gives me an error: "Main version is older". I tried it with my goldcard and got the same message. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks.
Is it currently rooted? I have an idea I always wanted to try
