Thank you, sir, for making this as painless as possible. Worked flawlessly after I RTFM.

I did, worked like a charm! Downgrade to Dingo took a long time at the "updating" screen and had to do a soft reset--see comment below.

Upgrade from Ermine to Allmine+Gapps took (seriously) a solid 5 minutes. My fingers started to hurt--I was getting pretty anxious that my PE was bricked, but then the "updating" screen popped up and I was really relieved. Have faith!

I was unaware my PE shipped to me with Froyo already installed--so when I tried to update to Froyo, things did not go as planned. I'm living proof that, if you start at step 1 and follow through to completion (even using a USB drive for all three update steps,) your patience will be rewarded.

Agreed, had to do this when going down to Dingo. It stuck on the "updating" screen for about half an hour, had to poke the button and do a soft reset.
tl;dr--Noob succeeded after *mostly* following the instructions. His status has been upgraded to Noob+.
