CyanogenMod is a rapidly evolving build of Android for the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) and HTC Magic (T-Mobile myTouch) phones. If you’re running a stock T-Mobile phone but had already rooted it and installed JF’s 1.5 build, here’s the quick upgrade path to Cyanogen.
Fast upgrade instructions:
- Download the latest update-cm-*-signed.zip
- Rename it to update.zip
- Copy it to the root directory of your phone’s SD card
- Turn your phone off
- Turn it back on while holding the Home key
- Once the recovery mode finishes booting (There should be a yellow warning sign displayed and perhaps a menu) – hit alt-s and wait for it to install
- Home + Backspace to reboot to Cyanogen
Cyanogen has a handy updater app that works like the JF one, but you’ll need to install a new recovery firmware for it to work.
