February 2011: T-Mobile Pulse software update (Android 2.1 – updated version)

This software will update your T-Mobile pulse to the latest version of software. Before you apply this update, you need to have:

• A backup of your data – the update will wipe your phone. Data you sync with Gmail can be re-sync’d after the update, but other data e.g. SMS, media etc… should be backed up
• A fully charged battery
• A Micro SD memory card with more than 256mb of free space you can copy the update to

Then follow the steps below to update your phone:

Download the update file

Unzip the file U8220V100R001GBRC85B118SP01.zip to a location of your choice on your computer

Copy the files you just unzipped  (the “dload” folder and all its contents) to the root directoryof your MICRO SD card

Insert your MICRO SD card into the handset

On your Pulse, go to the Main menu, then select Settings


Within Settings select SD card & phone storage

Scroll down, under the Internal phone storage section select Upgrade

The upgrade process will give you several warnings which you need to confirm to continue

Then press the Upgrade option to begin the update

As the update progresses you will see several screens along with a progress bar

Once complete you will see a confirmation screen, and your Pulse will automatically restart

Once restarted your Pulse will be up to date with the latest software
