- Send me or post a link here to the update and exactly what System Version you were on, and where the update takes you to.

A note for the naming of update.zips:
They will always be named after the version that you are currently on, not the one you are going to. For example, when moving from Version 123-A to Version 124-B the zip would be named:
Blur_Version.123.A.XT912.Verizon.en.US and would NOT be named after where you are going to.
