reboot or service interruption.
Hotfixes do not add new features to system software
images.
Use this method when the device cannot start up
correctly. For information about this upgrade method,
see the release notes for your device.
Remarks
Make sure the image file is saved
in the root directory of the storage
medium.
If neither the all keyword nor the
