[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OG:
Sup guys. So, I saw a bunch of little Threads that add up to one thing. I decided to make one BIIG Thread to include all the Tutorials EVER. I'm only going to include Tutorials on G1 ROMs and MyTouch stuff, but I might also go onto things like the Nexus One. Btw, some things on here, like the ADB Setup, is for all devices. Next, is a Key for all the terms I use. I know that it sucks right now, but I had to put together something for today. I'll go back tomorrow and revise ALL of it and make it more Noober-Friendly.

Please remember. I am not saying anything will happen to your phone. I am NOT giving you steps to Brick your phone. I am not telling you to do this. If you do go ahead and do this, and you mess up, I am sorry, but not responsible.
