The risk of bricking it is negligible as long as you don't do anything stupid like remove the battery half way through. Charge it fully before you start and it's no big deal.
Thanks. It proceeded without any problems. My main concern (for future updates) is that I don't have a recovery strategy in the event of a failure. Unfortunately there's no "boot from an alternative medium, then re-install" procedure for phones and tablets.
Make a warranty claim if that happens. Seriously the updates are tested extensively on exact hardware. It's not like upgrading Debian on a random PC where you can't be sure that anyone else has done it before on the same combination of parts. They only release updates after testing them which is why sometimes you just don't get updates. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
