Rooting gone wrong

I'm trying to root my friend's G1, I've downgraded to RC7 (Or the US RC29) but I can't access recovery mode. Every time i press & hold (home + power) it boots me into the boot loader.

I've tried flashing using a different memory card, no dice.

Anyone have any idea? & Is there anyway to flash RC8 (Or RC30) without using the recovery mode?

I've searched all over google & all over this forum, nothing would fix MY problem. Appreciate any help!

root your phone via Superoneclick method and download CWM's rom manager. Open rom manager and click the "Reboot into recovery option" and see if that works.

If it doesnt, try flashing CWM's newest recovery or alternet recovery from the rom manager, in this case, RA's v1.7.0 and see if that works

Appreciate your reply.
I would use superoneclick or androot, but I'm on RC7(RC29) OS 1.0 & the apps just force close.

I've also tried a ton load of Amon's recoverys & Clockworks, but they don't seem to work.
I can't even access the stock recovery when I press home & power buttons, it just boots up the boot loader with a "seria0" in the middle of a white stripe.
