It does work on the US phones...I have a US G1, I live in the US. It works fine, no need to root. Just run the USA update.zip once it's out. So this can hold you guys over
Do i download the Update.zip file and just place it on the SD card? And then reboot the phone? and is this all i need? i dont need a image file or anything like rooting?
