h1. 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.

h2. 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). Note that you can still use this binary on a system with different hardware architecture as long as you have 32-bit version of needed libraries installed. It is known to work with 32-bit version of GNU C Library and legacy GNU Standard C++ Library version 3 installed. 
* Make sure fastboot is executable:
<pre>
chmod a+x fastboot
</pre>

| *HTC Dream/HTC Magic* | BACK, POWER |
