Did I do something wrong?

Hi I’ve done everything up to turning off my phone. Whenever I would get back on and try the “alt” + “l” thing, I can’t really do it since no triangle icon appeared. Even without that fact, I tried it but it didn’t work.

Another fact is I bought this phone in the US and got the updates and everything. However, when I unlocked it in the Philippines I had to do a factory reset and it reset everything along with my updates :’(.

By the way what does “bricking” mean?

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU FORCE UPDATE! I just spoke with a tech. Its so easy to see what version you have. I’m a new G1 owner. Im upset about the flash player (other things too). But the updated version wont help. From home(regular domant screen) push menu, touch settings, scroll down to “About phone”, touch, in the info you will see RC29,RC30,RC33, one of those in there. RC33 is the newest. Im a G1 dummy! I hope i can help someone else. Please dont respond with ” you are a dummy”. Peace…

I guess i will try to force a software update on my Tmobile G1. My son has one too on my acct. I will let the rest of you know what happens. Wish me (us) luck. If it “bricks” i will get the word out as quick as i can on his phone.

Wow, how many G1’s are you rockin’ right now?

Did you get prompted for the RC30 update soon after updating to RC29?

I gave it a try and didn’t pay attention and hit the “alt” and “s” at the triangle icon.
Worked fine, said an update was available in seconds, now at RC30

Same thing happened to me. I upgraded using this method and within 15 secs i got the R30 update.
