Question about the 2.2.4 update process

guilledil · 12/21/2011, 10:42 AM

Hello there,

I have an unlocked Pre 2 but I do not have a data plan, when I need the internet, I look for a Wifi location. I have read the update can be downloaded using Wifi.

Since the update has been released globally, my question is: As a part of the installation process? Will I need to borrow a SIM with data plan (just as I did when activated the Pre 2 for the first time to create my profile)? or is it safe to update the Pre 2 at home with my current SIM card?

Best regards,

PS: I will remove all the patches installed before doing the update process. Anything else to have in consideration?

The OTA works over wifi. No radio required.
If you doctor without meta tricks you need radio for activation.
I don' have a lot patches so decided to remove them as well.
It's allways good to backup with preware saved packetlist, save/restore and then the usb drive onto PC.

I just updated with all my patches and it worked. Got some patches already replaced/updated. Works like a charm.
