CUPCAKE for non-rooted U.S. G1's Download here

[derocka06]

Ok so just wondering before I do the manual update, after doing so will I still receive future ota's or will I have manual update every time from now on?

so far im happy with 1.5, i need to cop me some motorolla s9's, but my only complaint now with the phone, is the quailty of the camera and how it pertains to videos, but yea..android is really shaping up, Im sure by the time my contract is up there will be a phone out with better hardware, i think i might just stick with android...

You will still continue to recieve future OTA's. This is the official 1.5 firmware.

Still dont have your cupcake update yet and you dont wanna root your phone? Well HERE you go, im attaching the link to download the cupcake update file and simple instruction for you to install it on your phone. i did it, took like 5 mins. VERY SIMPLE

1. Download: https://android.clients.google.com/u...0.de6a94ca.zip
or http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.ph...es#Cupcake_1.5

2. Put the downloaded file into your SD card and rename it to "Update" ONLY...it will add the .zip at the end already because its zip file so you dont need to add the .zip after the renaming part

3. Turn the phone off, then hold the home button while holding the power button

4. You will see a yellow triangle pop up on the screen, NOW hold ALT and PRESS L then press ALT and S

5. You will see the file extracting on your phone and doing the update, press the HOME AND BACK button when it tells you to do so.

6. After that it will say that its installing the radio update

7. The phone will reboot about twice and you will see the new android startup graphics, the phone will be stuck there for about 2 mins or so, be patient then when your phones comes back on, YOU HAVE CUPCAKE!!!

~Tell me what you think about the process

ANY HELP THROUGH THE PROCESS, DONT BE AFRAID TO ASK!!

~IF YOU HAVE ROOT ...YOU "WILL" LOSE IT!!

~WHEN UPDATING TO CUPCAKE, YOU WONT LOSE ANY MESSAGES, PICTURES, APPS, ETC...
