Default Question about upgrading.

Please Login to Remove!

Ive had my Pearl for a year now and having done a thing to it! I just recently discovered this site and realized that i really need to upgrade this phone. My question is, do i have to have all the previous upgrades in order to install the most recent one?

Nope - you can jump to the most current OS version for your device.

Let it do it's thing. It can take quite a while to finish updating.
I just finished mine, sat on the white screen with the hourglass for a good 20-30min. It's normal, and just takes forever lol

DO NOT pull the battery or the USB cable. I have seen it take a full hour at that stage.. just according.

If you pull the battery or the cable you will be in for a couple more hours' work.
