I was talking about using an flash drive and a custom recovery.
But I've never tried using the new "update engine".
It looks like you could put the payload.bin on a website or flash and update from there.

Edit: Oh, I see there is a new Poke5 update.
I guess that I can experiment with that on my Poke5.
It's a mixed bag, I guess, of whole images and payload.bin
I think that the update_engine only works with payload.bin?

Unfortunately my internet is mega-slow, so I can't download 1.6GB in my lifetime.

Since we have found a new Firehose loader for the Poke5 there's no risk.
