Glo Updating ancient Glo firmware

Ennas · 11-09-2014, 05:43 AM

Hi!

I update my own Glo manually now and then (the wifi update usually doesn't work), but my mother has a Glo, too, and she has never updated it since she bought it in feb 2013. She asked me to do the update, because she is a little computer-shy.

Can I update manually to 3.11 in one go, or should I do something (what?) in between?

Thanks!

Should be okay without any intermediate steps. I manually upgraded some days ago two virgin glos [Software Version: 2.1.5 (r43939, 10/12/12)] directly to 3.8.0. (3.11.0 was not available to me at that time because of poor internet connection.)

(LOL Virgin Glo!

Ah, good. That makes it a lot easier!
Thanks!

As tshering said, it will be OK. A factory reset sets a Glob back to 2.1.2. That is the out-of-the-box state. During the set-up, the device downloads and installs whatever is the latest version available. I would expect that would be more thoroughly tested than upgrading from any random intermediate version.
