ADP2 (Google Ion)

[Earlence]

I have a Google ION with the following details:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32B DEV S-ON G
HBOOT-1.33.3007 (SAPP30000)
CPLD-10
RADIO-2.22.19.26I

I am trying to flash the images from the HTC dev site, but it tells me
that the bootloader version is incorrect.
Why is this so?

If I manage to flash a custom build, I will have no way of recovering
to a factory state afterwards.

Why is this discrepancy present?

Cheers,
Earlence

Some of the newer devices have a bootloader that wasn't known when the
1.6 images were originally released, so those images don't flash out
of the box.

You should be able to get going by unzipping the update.zip file, then
flashing the partitions one by one, which doesn't have any sanity
checks on the bootloader:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img

You'll typically also want to delete the user data (factory reset)
while you're at it, unless you're flashing from an older compatible
build (e.g. 1.5).

fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache

And reboot:

fastboot reboot

Note: this is from memory, untested.
