Some great news from Android users and especially G1 users .. You can now manually update your G1 with the latest firmware update and get a whole bunch of new features on your existing google phone
See the wonderful onscreen keyboard inside the browser .. love to use the phone without opening the slide-out keypad
We tested the update on our g1 and it worked fine .. we were surprised to see the new UI
Other new android cupcake 1.5 features include
- On-screen soft keyboard
- Video recording or camcorder
- Copy paste in browser – and updated to latest webkit engine
- Upload to Youtube
- Picasa Uploads
- Google talk
Warning :-
You might loose all the data on your phone .
Although we have tested the update to be working , we do not encourage your to update unless you know what are you doing !
This is the USA version of software meant for US T-mobile users only . Works with unlocked phones also
Or try this link
(found android-dls & via)

@Sam
Where are you from ? are u on t-mobile usa ?
Downloading the update now, hopefully it will work
I’ll report back when its done!
Just did it and THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’ve been waiting a loooong time (seems like it anyway) for this.
Thanks a lot!
I am able to have 1.5.
Works really nice.
Thanks you very much
I’m definitely going to try this when I get home. Questions:
Once updated, which “data” is actually deleted? Apps? Or does this include contacts? I’m assuming just apps since contacts are synced to gmail…
ok, I need the ‘reboot for dummies’ directions.
@ray
i think just apps
but you have to activate your phone again , in case you use different account , your contacts are gone in the wind !
@Toph,
yes put the zip file as update.zip in the card
reboot phones using home+end
press alt+l to change to log mode
press alt+s to start update
you will loose all data , so try it at your own risk !
Installation aborted…
E:Can’t open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)
On my PC, I can see file… but phone not able to see…??
Am I supposed to ‘unzip’ before loading on chip?
Am I supposed to put in /sdcard directory or root?
I have tries all above and still not able to read update file from phone…. Please help!!
Doug ,
Welcome to the club
I had the same issue.
I think your update.zip file is corrupted
Can you try downloading the update from the link again .
It should work.
You can extract the zip file on your computer and check if its corrupted or not
you need not extract the zip and put on phone.
you need to put the update.zip in the top-most folder of your memory card.
i had that problem rename the file using linda file manager found in the market rename the file update.zip or just email me and i
‘ll send you the already renamed file….. its great but has some minor issues
The link for downloading the update seems to be no longer available.
It was down for a while .
It was problem with Google’s server
Seems to be back now
is it possible for downloading android os for motorola e6…. can anyone help me
yes i have the same problem as DOUG.
do i put the .zip file next to DCIM or in DCIM
can any one post the link again or load it to another site?
