Default [Q] ADB Just Will Not Work

My setup:

*G1
*RC29
*Amon Recovery 1.7
*DREAM PVT 32B ENG S-OFF
*HBOOT-1.33.2005
*CPLD-4
*RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I have tried to setup ADB, on different PCs at no avail. Followed this thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719

Issue is none of my PCs detect my phone. I have checked on "unknown sources" under the applications, and "USB debugging" under development.

after reading this: Q: How do I know the phone is bricked?
A: You can not brick a phone unless you are flashing Radio/SPL packages. Make sure if you are doing that, you follow directions VERY CAREFULLY. A bricked phone can not boot into bootloader, recovery, or into normal operation modes. You can not connect to a bricked phone via adb or fastboot. You can only see one screen on the phone and it will be the first splash screen.

could this be the case for me?

I'm trying to update my Radio and SPL from a .img but thread said you need fastboot, which entitles ADB, right?? and of course the whole purpose of this it to install ezterry's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620

P.S. Can you tell I'm a newbie....

Please lend a hand, thanks,.....
