Ensure that your device has a battery level of at least 50% (Start>Settings>System Tab>Power>Battery tab). If the battery "dies" during the upgrade process, there is a chance that it will not recover and will need to be sent for repairs.
The update can take up to 25 minutes so set aside time when you will not be interrupted.

Do I need to unlock to update? Puerto - I sometimes get Invalid Model but I have touch pro. Maybe I'll just wait till May 11th when it comes out from Sprint.

you cant flash this to your pro thats why it is a diamond rom and it will not work...... you can damage your device beyond repair if you try to flash a rom from a different device than you have..... be careful :connie_mykilroy:

Dash, thanks... I "assumed" it was for the Pro..I'll just wait for Sprint's upgrade then on the 11th. I was also wondering why it would only be for Diamond. I guess there are more differences from Diamond and Diamond Pro than just the Storage card and Qwerty Key board.
Dash, also wondering if there is some sort of auto-biography section here for you and other Sr. members,Administrators etc... I think people want to know how you and others got to where you're at with knowledge of this stuff and how they can follow in footsteps. Just an idea... Just an idea. Thanks bro...
