1.) download the file to your OC and rename it to update.zip (make sure you didnt name it update.zip.zip).
2.) Connect the phone to your pc and copy it to the root/main folder on your sd card. The root folder is the top most folder.
3.) Shut off your phone.
4.) Press power and home at the same time.
5.) The boot loader screen comes on, open your keyboard and press alt + L at the same time, this will initiate the load.
6.) Pres alt + S at the same time and the load will begin.
7.) When its done you will be prompted to press home + back (NOT POWER)....
8.) You should now see the chip initialization and the install of the new radio.

From here the phone will reboot. For me it happened once, but some people said theirs rebooted 2 or 3 times.

THATS IT!
Enjoy the love that is CUPCAKES :)

P.S. The auto rotate screen is not on by default. Go to Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Screen and Display. Scroll down to the orientation check-box and check it.
Also underneath that is the transitions selection which does a nice little sideways swipe when it switches from screen to screen.

So far Ive got to say its excellent. The onscreen keyboard is a pleasure to use! The browser is so much faster as well as Maps. Maps just load... period.... you scroll its there.

The camera also is soooo much faster and you can actually get REALLY nice shots now. Since the button is an actual event on the screen, when you press it, it auto focuses and takes the shot. So you dont lose focus and its really quick plus the last picture you took stay as a thumbnail on the upper corner.

Uploading to Picasa Web is effortless and so is uploading to youtube.
THIS IS... what Android should have been from the beginning.

Also, I was able to download the zip directly from the phone's browser and then using one of the many file management programs from the Market, renamed and moved it to the right place. No computer required!

Finally I have cupcake! Even though T-mobile still has yet to release it :-\]]>May 26th 2009 3:24PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/May 28th 2009 12:26AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/May 30th 2009 1:23PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/May 30th 2009 2:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/24/rootless-android-1-5-available-for-g1-now-with-or-without-t-mob/Two weeks ago I took it in to T Mobile and they replaced it with a new G1. No problems since, so while I'm capable of doing this upgrade myself. I've got a Pavlovian response to the idea of manually upgrading. *shrugs* I may do it anyways if it looks like enough people are upgrading without issue. I want that creamy cupcake goodness damn it.
