I did my update over the air using apt-get commands from a terminal Specifically, you need to have root priviliges to run this. Since I use SSH to connect to my machine I can come in easily as root. If you are going from the terminal on your phone, you will neeed to gainroot one way or another. I have sudo installed, so I can sudo -i to have a root prompt. When doing an update over the air, you have to be careful about running out of space, and I suggest removing any large optional applications. In my case, I removed Chromium and a few other applications. If your previous install failed, you may need to run apt-get -f install to fix things up. You may also want to run apt-get clean to remove old versions of installation files from your archives. You should run apt-get update to get information about any new packages to be updated, and then run apt-get dist-upgrade This can run for a while. Also, if there is something in specific that appears to be screwed up, you may want to try apt-get install --reinstall -y appname to force a re-installation of the application.
