	So how do you do this? Where do you start? Well, with a sealed PineTime, your only easy option is via Over The Air (OTA) Device Firmware Update (DFU), which is done via Bluetooth. There are a couple of different ways and apps you can use to do this. If you have an Android device, you can use [https://f-droid.org/en/packages/nodomain.freeyourgadget.gadgetbridge/ Gadgetbridge] or [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=no.nordicsemi.android.mcp NRFConnect] (NRFConnect is available on iOS devices as well). Otherwise, if your laptop or desktop computer has Bluetooth and runs Linux, you can use [https://github.com/alexr4535/siglo Siglo] or [https://github.com/piggz/harbour-amazfish Amazfish]. You can also use these applications on your Pinebook Pro or Pinephone if you happen to have those devices.		So how do you do this? Where do you start?

	Sometimes during the update process, the connection will drop, and the update will fail. Your PineTime isn't broken, most likely the Bluetooth link dropped for a moment, so just try again. Try rebooting your phone, if it keeps failing, try restarting the watch by holding the power button down for approximately 8 seconds. Try to '''avoid''' holding down the button with the screen off. Or try with another device, just in case there are compatibility issues.		Sometimes during the update process, the connection will drop, and the update will fail.
