The update process is as follows:

10. With a clip press the reset button located on the bottom of the device



11. Hold down the On/Off button until the front led flashes, then release the button.

I suggest after the first reboot with the new ROM go to Settings> Security and do a factory reset. Also i suggest to delete the contents of the SD Card.

The partition of the SD Card will remain as is




The SD card will be normal but will have a 442MB hidden partition
We can use Minitool partition wizard to see it.
