Since Noka chooses to do installs of the OS by essentially using a disc image it (as has been said here) zaps / and everything in it.
There are several solutions to this, but all are tricky due to hardware.
They could mount the OS in a partition and use another for /home and create lib bin etc links and a script run from home ... ... ... etc... but the flasher would have to be more sphisticated.
As it would be were it to patch in place.
The 770 culd d/l andpatvh (CAN actually). But this is fraught with pitfalls and cou requite memory and speed we don't have.
The image way is the most bulletproof.
