Hey all,

SO i downloaded the new 1.5 early look SDK and its just sitting on my desktop of my mac cause I don't know what to do with it haha...anyone know how to install it? any help would be great. Thanks guys
 
...hmmm that looks like it going to be way to involved for me to understand...i guess I was looking for someone who has already done it and would guide me through the steps of getting it on my G1...oh well, guess i'll just have to wait for the push from Google.

Well if you haven't rooted your phone then you wouldn't be able to do it anyway ... you can find a guide to rooting on this forum ..

To be blunt, if you're afraid of trial and error this may not be for you. Installing 1.5 is a very lengthy process and everyone is going to make mistakes on it. Hours can go by and multiple attempts will be made before success. Youre best bet is to start the process yourself and when you get a hang up, ask the question. If that isn't for you, you're going to want to wait.

It is easy man..... follow the directions from here : http://androidforums.com/developer-101/3252-rooting-quick-guide-updated-3-10-09-a.html (you will need to d/l telnet from the market) but instead of using JFv1.42_RC33 use this http://sapphire-port-dream.googlecode.com/files/5.0.1Gr3-signed.zip instead... if you don't like it or have issues simply repeat repeat steps 4 and 5 with the JFv1.42 and radio and you will return the phone to a "ROOTED" RC33 build... really easy to do just looks and sounds hard......
