Apparently there are two versions of the HTC Dream.
-PVT32A handsets have 288MB total RAM (192MB usable by OS - same as Hero handsets) and use the Qualcomm MSM7200A CPU.
-PVT32B handsets have 192MB total RAM (96MB usable by OS) and use the Qualcomm MSM7201A CPU.
Anyone have an idea of type the one MTN has? I tried to follow the instructions below however I cant seem to get the menu. Probably missing something stupid.
Instructions
------------
1. Power off your phone (long press the Power Button/End Call button on your phone and select 'Power Off' on the menu.
2. Hold down the Back button and press the Power/End Call button to restart your phone.
3. You should now see a screen with three little Androids on skateboards (or a rainbow screen), a bunch of info at the top and a handful of options. eg.
* SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
* HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000)
* CPLD-12
* RADIO-3.22.20.17
* May 8 2009,21:02:32
4. The key parts of this are
* PVT 32A (Indicates I have a PVT32A handset)
* HBOOT-1.33.0009 (SAPP10000) (Indicates which SPL I have installed)
5. Push Call, End Call and Menu all together to reboot again.
[edit] So what's the difference between PVT32A and PVT32B ?
While the PVT32A and PVT32B handsets share the same looks and many common elements, there are a few key differences internally which is why they need different roms.
