Help How much internal storage do you need for updates?

Hi there,

I'm currently running v10c and Android 2.2, finally plugged my phone into the PCSuite and was told there was an update available! On trying to update my firmware, up popped an error message saying not enough disk space. I'd got a 4gb memory card practically empty but only 20mb of internal storage. So I went through, deleted all the caches, old texts, call logs etc and have managed to get up to 80mb of free internal storage, but I still have the error message appearing.

How much space do I need for this update? I'm a little hesitant about flashing back to v10b then rooting, so is there anything I can do without resorting to that?

Thanks v much :)

I guess it would be around a 100 mb. Why dont you free up your internal memory? This could really slow down your system! Why not use apps like app2sd to transfer all the apps from your internal memory to the SD card?
Just try this, and go for a re-update! hope this helps :)
