If you have installed the update OTA then you may have locked yourself out. What us UK users are relying on is the full non OTA version to be released that then can be altered before installing.

Default re:lockin myself out

hi just wanted to explain why im asking the question. im running UK G1 with rc30 update installed with root access. im hoping that the uk follow the US and change the new update to give root. im thinking i should be able to move over to that update if and when.

is that the case??

I will be making a modified UK RC8 update this evening, assuming I can get my hands on the full update. If anyone gets the notification for RC8, PLEASE, look in the cache directory on your phone, and post the name of the zip file that is there.

Or better yet, grab it off your phone and upload it somewhere
