How to’s = DEAD ENDS or Road Blocks for my G2. PLEASE HELP!!

Let me just start from the beginning...

1st off..what I WAS running / am running or currently have on G2 :

Clockworkmod V3.0.0.5 (Was running Cyanogen Mod 7 RC1 when the crash and problems started)

VISION PVT SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-0.82.0000

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.26_M

EMMC-boot

Okay, a few weeks ago I used ADB to manually achieve S-OFF. Was not able to achieve S-OFF thru terminal emulator, kept having su-bin issues. After S-OFF I successfully downloaded CyanogenMod 7. Flashed the new rom just fine and was running well until I started doing some downloading on the Market of different CyanogenMod Live Wallpapers / widgets, etc. After a certain download, phone froze, I rebooted and at start up I was only able to get the white HTC screen.

This is when the research on the forums and the” how to’s” began…

Booted in recovery and error message is as follows :

ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.5

E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can’t mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can’t open /cache/recovery/last_log

**YES I did back everything up after I achieved S-OFF, so not sure why having this issue.

Reading more forums and others who have had similar issues I then concluded it would be best to try and downgrade back to stock rom with no success. Issues / error messages are as followed :

Downloaded the stock_root.zip from forum and put on root of sd card, when I try and install zip from sd card in CWM phone is reading the following :

Finding update package…

Opening update package…

Installing update…

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to ClockworkMod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (update-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.

Installation aborted.

So then tried the PC10IMG.zip in CWM and am getting the following error messages :

--Installing /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip

Finding update package

E: Can’t open /sdcard/PC10IMG.zip (bad)

Installating aborted

Last try was applying the update.zip file from forum to root of sd card and when trying to install that in CWM I am getting the following :

Finding update package

Opening update package

Installing update package

File_getprop: failed to stat /system/build prop

E: Error in/sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)

Installation aborted.

EVERYTHING KEEPS FAILING!! LAST couple things…
