Default upgrading 8100 OS via mac

Please Login to Remove!

Hi,

I noticed they released an update to the 8100 OS. How can a Mac user upgrade? Do I need pocketmac or some other software or can I do it via bluetooth?


Search the forum for 8100-4-2-0_rel61_pl2-2-0-32_a4-2-0-51. They don't let nubs post links.

Thanks!

Yep, and not even Parallels can do it (USB connection needs to be manually reset).
You definately need a windows PC. Kills me to say that
