Has anyone tried this manually?

I get 2 G1's Monday. The crappy part is they are only a few miles away but they won't be delivered until Monday It's killing me... But I'll give it try once I get them and I'll keep you guys posted..

Cool.  Let us know how it goes.

By the way what does the update fix?

FYI ALL on the ota manual updating of your G1.  This was posted by the admin of the T-mobile forum website regarding this:



"I've checked with our Product Development staff and they have informed that this is definitely not what we want people doing.  The Updates are intended to be distributed to everyone via an Over-The-Air Update.  While I understand that many of you have downloaded this update and seem to have it working, T-Mobile cannot support you in doing so.  If you download and attempt to install this or any other update (regardless whether its from Google or not) to your device, and it is rendered unusable, you are out of luck.  Even if we do exchange it, you will be without a device for several days (or possibly even weeks).

 

The updates are being sent out to everyone.  We didn't plan the OTA updates to be installed on a phone which had already been updated manually.  Hopefully the OTA installer is smart enough to realize the update is present, but who knows.  If your phone is 'bricked' due to the offical OTA being installed on a manually updated phone, once again, you are out of luck."


just keep this in mind if you do the manual update.
