\"\"<\/p>\n

Earlier this week I decided to take the leap and root my T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) and upgrade the ROM from the standard T-Mobile Android 1.6 to Android 2.2 via CyanogenMod 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now I know I just lost 95% of my regular readers, but for the rest of you, I thought I’d walk you through the process.

\nI had been holding out, in hopes that I’d be able to get at least Android<\/a> 2.1 via an Over the Air (OTA) update, but it seems that Google and T-Mobile have moved beyond the G1 and don’t plan to support the phone much longer. So, with that in mind, I decided to take the leap.<\/p>\n

To make the process work, I ended up flashing the phone 5 or 6 times during the day before all things finally clicked (I think the main issue was installing GAPPS correctly).<\/p>\n

Hopefully you’ll avoid my mishaps and get to your new ROM a lot faster.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, the process proved to be much easier than I expected, but probably more than most users would want to worry with. I equate it to upgrading a computer from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95 for the first time.<\/p>\n
