I haven't upgraded to PR1.2 yet, and I won't be until I can be assured it will not be telling Nokia my phone number (and what else is in the message -- anyone deciphered it yet?).

But the problem will be to serve the package to the user before the cherry-action starts. It has to be somewhen between the update (or flash) and the first connect to GSM.

So, a package which installs an early running startup script which creates the /home/user/.cherry_state file at boot time if it doesn't exist, and which can be installed before installing PR1.2, should be a fix?

Of course, that only works for OTA upgrades. For reflashes is it good enough to create the cherry_state file before inserting the SIM card or does it have to be before the first boot?
