Ok this is all data from XDA-Developers:

Google Download: https://android.clients.google.com/u...-RC19+RC28.zip
**This download might need to be refreshed once or twice before it works. If you get 503 server error, try again, if it doesn't work after a while use the links below.

Rapidshare Download 1: http://rapidshare.com/files/15924331...-RC19_RC28.zip

Rapidshare Download 2: http://rapidshare.com/files/15924473..._RC28.zip.html

Android-DLS.com: http://android-dls.com/forum/index.p...rb_v=viewtopic (Must be registered)

Steps to upgrade:

1: Download the file and rename/save it as update.zip (some users found just plain update works best (no .zip))

2: Place the file on your mini SD card and insert it into your G1 (card formatting requirements still unknown, so if fat does not work, try fat32 and vice versa)

3: With the phone off Hold down the "Home" and press the power button (end call) to turn the phone on (while still holding the home button)

3: Wait for the following screen
attachment.php


4: open your keyboard and press Alt+L

5: When you see yellow text, pless Alt+S

6: When it says "Installation Complete" you can press "Home" + "Back" to reboot.

7: Wait for your phone to completely reboot and allow it to finish writing your radio rom during reboot, it may reboot multiple times.

8: Enjoy

These instructions are paraphrased from other users and are not written by me.

Hope this works for everyone...

Have you tried it? And this is to RC28, correct? Not RC29?
 
I have tried it. I am on AT&T thus I do not get the updates.

Also it is RC29

BUILD NUMBER
killa-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247
ota-rel-keys.release-keys
 
when you you turn your phone off did you turn it back on with the home button held down? you must hold the home button down until you enter the install screen

Yeah, i got to the install screen. Pretty cool. But the install failed. I'll try it again and see if i can write down an error.
 
if for some reason that file does not work try the first one from google download....thats the one I did and it worked perfectly
 
it will restart and have a chip-set pictures, then reset again....and then possibly again. i dont remember how many times....but then it will finally start android again.
 
Yup, Restarted once, looked like it was writing to disc. Restarted again, looked like it was unpacking from disc. One more restart and...


I'M ON RC29 BABY!!! MAKE THIS A STICKY!!!
 
glad it worked for you.

JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE AT XDA-DEVELOPERS they were the ones that found everything out and started the write-up
 
Either way, I submitted it to Engadgetmobile.com. I gave credit to xda-developers, but I couldn't find the related link over there.
