    7676=== 3. Use custom kernel and module to get rid of the write protection ===
    77 You will have to install a custom kernel that disables the kernel protection for the radio partition and a wp-this module for this kernel that drops the write protection of the emmc-memory chip.
     77
     78To update the radio image you will have to get around two forms of protection-- first is the kernel restrictions on writing to the radio partition.  Then, there is the emmc firmware chip's read-only protection.
     79
     80So, you will have to first install a special cyanogenmod-based kernel that disables the kernel protection for the radio partition.  Then you'll also need a "wp-this" kernel module for this kernel that drops the emmc write protection.

     84The wp-this module for this kernel is here [http://www.thinkthinkdo.com/wpthis-cyanogen.ko]

    83 Install the custom kernel using fastboot.
     86Install the custom kernel from your computer using fastboot.

    85 First boot your G2 into fastboot (press Power Button and the trackpad Button until the screen with the surfing androids appear and it says FASTBOOT in red).
     88First boot your G2 into fastboot mode (press Power Button and the trackpad Button until the screen with the surfing androids appear and it says FASTBOOT or FASTBOOT USB in red).

    87 Get fastboot from <the internet>
     90Make sure you've downloaded fastboot onto your computer.  It comes along with "adb" with the [http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html Android SDK]
