Well, with penguinbait's and Benson's assistance, I finally took the plunge and updated my dual-boot (flash/internal mmc) n810. The steps that worked for me are here. Haven't noticed any substantive changes yet, though I haven't done a lot of testing. I'm just glad that my "should I update/shouldn't I update" internal struggle has been resolved.

Though, OT, I sped up the speed of the browser a LOT a few days ago by uninstalling adblock and installing flashblock.

Not that I know of. I got the last SSU update and the only thing I did since then was update some programs already installed on there.

Interesting! I took my DX cable to work and tried to flash there. Guess what? It worked! So I am now in process of reinstalling everything - this is going to take days (of evenings).

Funny thing about the DX cable is that it does work to connect my N810 at home just for seeing it as an external disk. But it won't flash!!!

Well at least I have a way to update in the future if we get the same disaster. I know many are saying the reboot loop is the exception but if you happen to be a 'victim' it's a disaster.

The update worked fine on my N810 - I was a little afraid what with all the reports of screw ups post update - but nothing happened.

But now on the Backlight applet I dont see the options for the rotation. Cant use the rotation now at all. Where di the rotation menus go from that applet ?

It fails if the "/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/osso_software_copyright.pdf" file is a symlink
It fails if the "/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/~sfil_li_folder_user_guides/" directory is a symlink or is empty. Make sure you have an actual directory with any file there.

This covers my scenario. I get rid of all the documentation after every reflash to save the 13 MB and just move the English user manual somewhere else.

Hard to believe that document package script is so brittle.

Thanks for the analysis.

I usually clear out the unneeded docs, too... glad I forgot this time!

Has that been bugged yet?

ya i updated my internal memory first and then flash. installed boot menu and control panel shows both as 36-5.

But app manager shows red exclamation mark and says borked in details in my internal memory partition.

So did it update or no?
