    Default Possible Cupcake Upgrade Problems


    Just for the record, I have not received a notification for an upgrade to Android 1.5. In any case, I read in one article from Computerworld that cooked ROMs can cause G1's to not recieve a notification for the upgrade. My phone is not rooted, but I did manually upgrade to RC33, the last major upgrade. Can manually upgrading my phone to RC33 cause problems in terms of receiving a notification for the upgrade, or installing the upgrade?

    This may be a trivial question, but I am really anxious about Android 1.5 (Cupcake).

    i honestly don't know.
    but if you're so anxious, why not root and do it manually?

    No, you should be fine. The logic checks are still there if you manually updated using a Tmo release (which you did).

    When in doubt, the manual download for it will be available.

    On a side note, Android 1.5 has only been released OTA for ADP phones (dev phones only). So unless you're a dev using an ADP phone or are running on a homebrewed dev firmware, you won't receive it yet.

    If you manually updated and used an offical rom your set. If you used a hacked release then thats a different story.
