[910U] Upgrade from BOC2 to BOD4

[Alcibiade]

Beware when trying the new firmware from Taiwan if you were already on one based on the latest NZ one.
tries several times and ODIN failed just after trying to flash hidden.img

Tried several times, no luck.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)​

I reflashed the NZ firmware afterwards and could recover. But this is a real pain... (Obviously had to re-root, reinstall TWRP, etc...) I supposed we wont have this issue through custom ROMs

Do you have reactivation lock enabled? Seems to have been the issue for others

OK I think that's my fault for skimming over a bit. I thought you were asking a question not making a statement

Indeed was just warning people looking to upgrade to be careful if they don't want to waste their time
Thanks anyway!
