As useful as this is, everything tells me that this has no place in the dev forum...

By the way, since there are different versions of the Dream/G1 internationally, I think it would be useful to note more clearly which version your guides are for.

For example: DREA210, DREA110, DREA100 variations

Sometimes there needs to be goldcard if the G1 instructions are followed for a different variant. Other than that this is useful stuff.
Past devices: HTC Dream (Rogers), Acer Liquid E, HTC EVO3D GSM, HTC Panache (international myTouch4G), Huawei Ideos U8150, Rogers HTC Magic (myTouch3G variant)

Current devices: Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM (i9250), ASUS Transformer TF300, Samsung Galaxy S3 i747m (Telus), Huawei Ideos S7

Honestly this is what I find with most guides out there, or video guides. I remember some guy on Android and Me was giving a lesson on how to update the G1/Dream radio, but forgets to mentions about the chances of bricking your phone and stuff with wrong combinations. Then what irked me most was what he said next, "Now you can flash whatever SPL you want." I'm pretty sure that's an invitation to a brick.
Rogers HTC Dream (White) / Rogers HTC Magic (Black)
SPL: Danger SPL 1.33.2005
Radio: 3.22.26.17
Recovery: RA-Dream 1.7.0
ROM: CM 5.0.7 (Dream) / CM 6.0.0 (Magic)
Swap: 64MB (Dream Only)
Ext3: 512MB (Dream Only)
SD Card: Transcend 8GB Class 6
