Hi Everyone! Hope you are all ready for the holidays!
A friend of mine just bought a storm and I am wondering if I can upgrade it for him directly from .121 to .328? Or do I need to install stuff from the .191 version?
Thanks!

As far as i know it should upgrade no problem. If you have bbsak you could wipe device and then load.Quote:

Install the new OS on your PC, then (recommended) simply open RIMs app loader, it does a backup first and the a wipe for you before installing.Quote:

This isn't a bad thing, but I wonder how many different OS have been on the phone previously, and if it has been wiped before. Try the easy way first, and if something isn't right after, you will want to wipe it and redo.Quote:
