GSM Unlocked Pre2 not updating.

**TheAngelOfElysium** · 03/30/2011, 07:44 PM

So I just received my GSM unlocked Pre2 in the mail today (courtesy of HP Developer Programs, thanks!), and I received it with webOS 2.0.0 installed. "No biggie", I thought, I'll just run the updater to get to webOS 2.1 goodness! No such luck, I'm afraid. The download gets about a sixth to a fifth of the way through before stopping entirely and prompting me to download again like nothing ever happened. I'd reeeeally prefer to not have to doctor the phone already, since I only just installed all of my apps, so does anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks very much!

It took me a couple of tries.. You just need a strong 3G or wifi connection

Alright, after the third try, I've just looked down and I'm seeing "Unpacking...", with the status bar at about three-quarters. I'll update when something changes.

Okay, it just went ahead and unpacked and validated. Now it's nagging at me to charge the battery to 50%. And, right on cue, I just got "ding-DING!"ed for having 9% battery. So, time to blow the dust off the ol' Touchstone and get her going!

Alright, it took a while, but it finally got working. Hooray for webOS 2.1 goodness!

I most assuredly will! It's been quite a while since I've enjoyed webOS goodness, outside of an emulator.
