What do you mean "you just have just traffic providers when trying to update?"

How is the correct process for updating? Download the GCD file, drag it to Webupdater, let it install in the device, safely remove device (is this still necessary?), disconnect from computer and turn the device on for the software install to take effect?

Also, Philippines is not available as a locale with this unit. Would choosing United States be any problem at all? Is there a right locale to pick in my case?
