Silent Install
This option allows you to perform an image update that does not
require any user interaction on the device. If left cleared, the user will
be prompted to perform the update, but they have the option to
cancel the update. This check box is not checked by default.
Force Update
This option allows you to perform a full upgrade of the firmware
regardless of what is installed on the device. By default, the firmware
upgrade utility will compare the version of the image file with what is
already running on the device, and if they match it will skip updating.
This is done to save time and prevent inconvenience for most users
in the field. However, in rare circumstances a firmware image can
become corrupted in the field, and this option allows a DXU
administrator to perform a full firmware upgrade, disregarding the
version reported by the device.
Factory Data Reset After Installing Firmware
A factory data reset is a full reset of the device intended to return it
to the condition it would be in if it were just leaving the factory. This
reset deletes all user data and settings, deletes installed
applications, and resets the device’s real-time clock to its default
date and time. Data on microSD cards is not affected.
NOTE
Customarily firmware update is referred to as “update”
on devices that use Microsoft Windows operating
systems, and it is referred to as “upgrade” on devices
that use the Android operating system. These terms are
used because the creators of these operating systems
use these terms, but the terms essentially mean the
same thing.
