the bonehead that did the rom obviously did it wrong. put a stock SPL on when he did it. after i did the wipe it must have cleared the SPL. i returned it to the RC29 and did the cupcake update. but i dont really know where to go from here. i tried following this tutorial
[GUIDE] The Ultimate Beginner's Guide {Downgrade, Root, Partition, ADB, and MORE!} - xda-developers
but when i try to mount the phone to my console, my console locks up. i was wondering if i could just install flashRec and amon ra's recovery image to the SD card via my card reader? then just run them through astro file manager like it says to do.
another idea i had was to copy my old SD card and run the update that i have for my other G1 (its rooted).
let me know what you think.
