I'm just going to add a few changes to your tutorial, but other than that, it's good. I never considered having a tutorial for the official firmware updates, but I can see this being useful for someone just getting started. I'll add it to the master tutorial guide once the changes are made. Thanks for a good tutorial.

thanks for updating it... I take it I left something out?

I changed a lot of small things. One important thing I took out was the reference to PM you if you had problems. It's ok to include that in your personal signature on the forum, but it's actually quite beneficial to the average user if they are able to read through the thread and see if other people had mistakes. Anyways, look over what I've changed and if it is to your liking, I will add it to the master guide.
