This thread has become ENOURMOUS, so it is being locked and replaced with something much simpler (thanks BryBam!). The new thread is being locked as well to prevent clutter. If you have questions on the procedure, please use the Search button at the top of every forum page. Most questions have been asked and answered many times. If you still need help, post a new message to an existing thread on the same topic or start a new thread. Thanks! -Dominic


 

 

So there isn't any confusion just place the link here when you receive it, otherwise don't clutter the thread..use another thread to post, Thank's guys. Good Luck, And remember if you get the US 1.5 Update do not install it, Download (LOG COLLECTOR) From the Android Market, Then compose a email to yourself and post the ZIP file here. After all is said and done go retreive your update by going to system updates.

Before I try and download this, I have a quick question. Will I be able to go from UK 1.5 to US 1.5 without having to go back to RC33 first?

I suggest you just try to do the swap from uk to us..if it doesnt work, worstcomes to worst you revert back to rc33 and then to 1.5 and voila!

OKAY, This is a simple procedure....

 

If your running on a PC, Just download the link rename it to update and transfer it to the root of your SD CARD, and the turn your phone off, once its completely off hold the power on button and the home button at the same time until you get the little triangle we are all use to..hit ALT+L the ALT+S..And there ya go. US VERSION OF CUPCAKE FINALLY!!

This was written for manually updating to RC33, but you'll get the idea.
