Are you in the UK and still waiting for your OTA update from version 1.1 to 1.5?

If you are and don't want to wait, like me, then you can download the official update and manually install it yourself [LINK BROKEN]. I know I am impatient but if you're still reading this so are you.

Warning I recommend you have full battery if you do this!

  • First download the file above to your desktop and rename the zip file to 'update' and place the file in the root of your phones Micro SD card. You can do this by mounthing your SD card while its attached to the computer.
  • After the files are copied, unmount your phone and turn it off.
  • Restart the phone by holding the Home+End keys down together.
  • Wait and an icon screen will appear, nothing will happen, you now need to open your keypad and to view options hit Alt+L. This will display the log
  • Now press Alt+S to begin the update.
  • Rename it from signed-kila-ota-115247-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28.zip to update.zip, and place it in the root of your Micro SD card.
  • Once it finishes, just follow the onscreen instructions and press Home+Back to finish.

Enjoy cupcake

RC9 UK update for the G1

Long waiting and much overdue but it finally looks like the RC9 update for the G1 is being rolled out for the UK market. So far only a hand full of UK G1 users seem to of had the update and T-Mobile tech support have stated this is because of testing but everyone should have it over the next few weeks.

However Germany had the same RC9 EU update we are due to get for weeks now with no reported problems so I don't understand the logic behind it.

You may be looking forward to the improvement and bug fixes the update will bring such as finally being allowed to empty the trash! However don't get to excited we are still not equal with the RC33 USA counterpart, we will not be having the voice dial functions it has been taken out due to it not understanding the Queens English!
