**EDIT** Figured if I have a post here, it might as well be useful.

Here is the update:
Google Download: https://android.clients.google.com/u...-RC19+RC28.zip
**This download might need to be refreshed once or twice before it works. If you get 503 server error, try again, if it doesn't work after a while use the links below.

Steps to upgrade:

1: Download the file and rename/save it as update.zip (some users found just plain update works best (no .zip))

2: Place the file on your mini SD card and insert it into your G1 (card formatting requirements still unknown, so if fat does not work, try fat32 and vice versa) with THE PHONE OFF

3: While the phone IS STILL OFF, Hold down the "Home" and press the power button (end call) (keep holding "Home"

3: Wait for

open your keyboard and press Alt+L

4: When you see yellow text, pless Alt+S

5: When it says "Installation Complete" you can press "Home" + "Back" to reboot.

6: Wait for your phone to completely reboot and allow it to finish writing your radio rom during reboot

7: Enjoy

So people will see this and not start a million more topics about how to manually update. Everybody isnt going to read an 8+ page post.

Worked Great for me.. Just downloaded the update file and it took about three minutes to install from the SD, then it asks to hit home and back at the same time to reboot. It then installed the radio and rebooted (Twice)... THEN.... Alls working great and it says RC29. Same as my other G1 that was sent the update the other day. Feel like I'm back to the good ol times of udating my HTC Universal.

If all your files are missing the .xxx extension style only rename it to update. If you see .zip at the end of the file rename it to update.zip
