No. Plug in the cable, hold down SYMB, press the paperclip while continuing to hold SYMB. It will now be in update mode. Open the connkit if not open, it will detect it and ask you to update again.

Is there any way to do a completely manual update this way? I only have Macs, and AFAIK the only way for me to do an update is to put the Prime in Update Mode as described, then fire up a virtual Windows machine where I have the connectivity kit installed, connect the Prime, then run the "Updater.exe" (NOT the Connectivity Kit!).

This is rather cumbersome. Since I'm guessing the Updater.exe just pushes some files onto the Prime (which acts as a USB drive in the update mode), I'm hoping there must be some way of doing this manually. In the absence of a native Mac Connectivity Kit, I'd much rather prefer a manual method. A virtual Windows costs rather much in terms of disk space (not to mention money), and the Updater.exe is currently my only reason for running Windows at all. Please?
