I have done about 6 of these at work and you need to make sure that you move all photos and other files on the phone itself are moved either to your Micro SD card or onto the PC. This is to ensure that the phone has enough memory to install the updates.

on some of the phones we needed to install the software a couple of times to get it to work, on one we had to do a "hard reset" before it would update but they were ALL successful in the end.

note the phone may reboot a couple of times and once it has finished you need to go through the initial set up again (as you did when you first got the phone). This sets up ALL the openzone settings for all the partners in one hit for you , you then need to re-twin it with the HUB
