<p>Hi Stuart,</p>
<p>I have recently updated my Google G1 HTC Dream using the Cyanogenmod unofficial ROMs and went from Android 1.6 to 2.1. The phone company only supports up to V1.6.</p>
<p>The instuctions given on Cyanogen's site are comprehensived and worked (including repartitioning the phone!). </p>
<p>I have successfully backed up and restored the phone subsequently with the quite nice utilities included.</p>
<p>Have a look at the site.</p>
<p>This was my first attempt at hacking a mobile but the vocabulary is familiar to Unix/Linux users.</p>
<p>Still felt traumatic flashing the phone though.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Regards</p>
<p>Nick Northcote</p>

Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
As I have pretty much come to the end of my contract and now have a Desire<br>
HD (Looked at the Desire Z but the screen is smaller and looks v easy to<br>
break :/<br>
<br>
Anyhow it comes with Android 2.2. I know it's all about provider "optimised"<br>
versions, but I'd love to have latest non branded up to date Android.<br>
<br>
Has anyone done this/knows how to do it (Without running dodgy hacked ROMs)<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Stuart<br>
