Some people had to reflash using commandline with special parameters, as their PC did not have enough RAM and thus failed (and bricked the phone) during the flash.
But I was reading about cool features that were present in Lolipop firmware so I took the risk. And I am not afraid to use commandline Android tools.
I wanted to post my experience so when you do attempt to flash you won't spend agonizing 30 of so minutes looking at hopelessly frozen PC and fearing the worst as it is flashing the third image.

And that's why I really shouldn't do it. I simply don't have enough experience with Android... I flashed a custom rom on my HTC Flyer, following a very detailed description, and I managed to root my Galaxy Note 8.0, again, following a very detailed description. Both of those updates were almost fool-proof.
But tinkering with a device where even at XDA people have managed to brick it, not sure I'll take the chance....

Yes, I'm curious as well...
