yes, i had cm11 and saimaa running without sfdroid and multiboot and did not wipe, only "full flash" procedure as discribed.
Going to replicated it, my nexus5 is for pure fun and testing anyway until gps works, chr chr.

Maybe the discription could be updated with where to best store the flash files so they persist wiping the data?
I ended up placing them in /firmware without mounting it.
Worked after some needed trial and error because i had no USB-OTG adapter.
/android/media/0/ points to sdcard (internal storage), as do the "Android" symlinks in places like ~/Music and ~/Downloads. I'll add info to OP.

Anyone willing to test an OTA to 2.0.2.48? Please note we're still dealing with a dbus issue that will make the installing of packages take around two hours.. I have a plan to debug this later that requires a rebuild of dbus (all we know now is that it hangs during refreshing dbus configuration, but eventually succeeds).

This is also unofficial currently due to 2.0.2.48 being an "early access" release. However, it gives us a chance to get good feedback.
Code:
RELEASE=2.0.2.48
ssu release $RELEASE
devel-su sed -i -e 's#^adaptation=.*$#adaptation=http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:/RealJohnGalt:/testing:/hammerhead/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/#' \
/usr/share/ssu/repos.ini
ssu dr mw
ssu ar mw http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/common/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/
ssu er mw
ssu lr
# ^ Save output of this command somewhere in case you have issues with the update
devel-su zypper clean -a
devel-su zypper ref -f

version --dup
# if above fails, try again
version --dup

sync
reboot
Post-install notes:
- You may need to reboot 2-3 times for fully functional radio afterward.
- A sfdroid reflash may also be required (just flash on top and reboot, not a big deal).
- If you're using 1.82 pixel_ratio, run the following after rebooting:
Code:
devel-su rm -rf /usr/share/themes/sailfish-default/meegotouch/z1.82
devel-su ./kimmoli-diyicons.sh 1.82
Despite telling BluesLee to expect a new image today, I'm holding off on doing a 2.0.2.48 flashable image until the cm12.1 project for our device moves out of a home subproject and into the proper nemo:devel:hw:lge:hammerhead subproject. This saves one build between now and official. Also by the official build, we might have the dbus issue fixed.

Re: sfdroid, we're very close to proper audio on hammerhead when I get a chance.
