Fastboot Installation

Warning: flashing another operating system like Replicant may void your warranty and will erase the data stored on the device.

This guide assumes your phone is supported by fastboot.

Download the files

  • Refer to your device page to find a link to the latest images (Last images part of the table).
  • Download the images and the md5 checksum
  • Download fastboot from the latest images tools directory (it is a prebuilt x86 binary for GNU/Linux)
  • Make sure fastboot is executable:
    chmod a+x fastboot
    

Key combinations for fastboot mode

Device Keys (held together)
HTC Dream/HTC Magic BACK, POWER

Flash the images

  1. Flash the images using fastboot:
    ./fastboot flash boot boot.img
    ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    ./fastboot flash system system.img
    ./fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
    
  2. Clear cache:
    ./fastboot erase cache
    
  3. Reboot:
    ./fastboot reboot
    

Your device should now be running Replicant!
