I have not yet rooted my phone and was planning to do it this week. But I stupidly updated my phones firmware to cupcake 1.5.
I am a UK owner of the G1 phone. What should I do to root. Should I somehow downgrade my firmware.
Is it easy to root?
I also watched a video from CoolPstuts on youtube ... VIDEO REMOVED... and his explanaton for rooting was good. Could someone tell me if that is all I have to do even if I have 1.5?
What are the pros and cons of rooting?
Thanks in advance, I am a real noob. ALL HELP APPRECIATED!

but after putting the dreaimg.nbh on the sd card and starting with camera button presse, i get an "not allowe" info and can only restart.
any ideas how to go on?
thx
You would have to go back to RC7 (UK) for a rootable version.
For flashing the G1 outside of the designated upgrade path, you would have to create a goldcard sd (once) and apply hardspl later. After rooting, you can update to 1.5 again. There are plenty of links available everywhere.
i managed to root my g1 with FW 1.5 on it yesterday with the goldcard option.
just works like a charm (after spending 4 hrs on monday and 3 hrs yesterday evening on it ;-)
