Actually, they only came out with the warning after I had already updated mine. But, to be fair, they probably didn't realize before then that people were doing this... Although I do remember people doing it with other firmware updates on previous Onyx devices which made me think that it was safe to do so.
The thing is, although I am a native English speaker, I can read Chinese. Had I left the system language setting on the device in Chinese, I would have naturally gotten this update without trying. So it seems odd for them to be saying not to do this.
If they are worried about people doing this, then they should make them unable to update in this manner outside of China. Then if you decide to get around that restriction by using a VPN, the blame would rest squarely on your own shoulders. Oh well, it has been a learning experience. I'm just very glad that I held off on updating my Note Pro in this manner.
