	== Android ==		== Android ==
		+	The first android phones uses a specific bootloader(not the usual uboot,barebox,redboot etc..<br/>
		+	The good news is that we can talk to it via USB,from any OS where fastboot is available.<br/>
		+	But what we can do can depend on how much the device is locked(for instance in my carrier htcdream I can't flash a system.img but I can boot a fastboot image)<br/>

		+	=== User point of view ===
		+	Download or build fastboot:
		+
		+	====Download it ====
		+	Download it from http://developer.htc.com/adp.html
		+
		+	====Build it under GNU/Linux (for experienced users and/or free software people)====
		+	you can build it without building the whole android:
		+	git clone http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=utilities.git;a=summary
		+	cd uttilities/android/image-utils
		+	sh autogen.sh
		+	make
		+	cd fastboot
		+	./fastboot
		+
		+	==== Usage ====
		+	just do:
		+	./fastboot boot image.fastboot
		+	replace image.fastboot with the path to the image you want to boot
		+
		+	==== Usage for experienced users ====
		+	$ ./fastboot
		+	usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>
		+
		+	commands:
		+	update <filename> reflash device from update.zip
		+	flashall flash boot + recovery + system
		+	flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition
		+	erase <partition> erase a flash partition
		+	getvar <variable> display a bootloader variable
		+	boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] download and boot kernel
		+	flash:raw boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk> ] create bootimage and flash it
		+	devices list all connected devices
		+	reboot reboot device normally
		+	reboot-bootloader reboot device into bootloader
		+
		+	options:
		+	-w erase userdata and cache
		+	-s <serial number> specify device serial number
