==Serial Connection Information== <pre> I am by no means a G1 god or guru. There are better people to ask and I do hope they'll chime in. I am however linked to that nickname that you dropped and so I feel compelled to answer. ( And no, I'm not nor have I ever been, a woman. ) The serial interface you're discussing does indeed exist on the HTC Dream (G1). I hear it's possible to build a cable that is a mini-usb on one end and a normal sized usb on the other. Between the two is a usb to serial device. It's just a nice way to have a set of pin outs and power; it's otherwise not a special cable. If you have or build such a cable, you'll then be able to access a few low level debuggers or boot prompts on the serial port. If you have the right setup, you should be able to connect the cable, attach to the usb serial device and set minicom to operate at 115200 8N1 (and with no software/hardware flow control). A photo of the mythical cable attached to my G1 is available here: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Image:G1-two-usb-to-serial-cable.jpg This is the code for that interface (see the Android source): /kernel/drivers/serial/msm_serial_debugger.c From the source you'll see the following commands available when the phone is booted: pc regs reboot irqs kmsg version sysrq If you have the developer or engineering boot loader, you can do more... You can boot the phone with the camera button held down to access a serial boot prompt that looks like this: UART0:Cmd> So far I've only seen a single command 'set'. I didn't find very much useful information beyond that for the serial interface to the (first?) boot loader. Perhaps someone knows more about this? It may prove to be useful... Another interesting but unrelated (GSM) test function is available in the dialer program when the phone is booted by calling this number: *#*#INFO#*#* Best, Jake </pre>
