install Amber Update with out upgrading to Portico on Lumia 822

Will I be able to install Amber Update directly with out upgrading to Portico on Lumia 822?
i.e. Do I have not upgrade to Portico first then only Amber will install successfully.

I am planning to buy my friends Lumia 822 (factory unlocked) which I will be using on GSM network in India & currently it has no updates installed.
And I have heard that upgrading to Portico causes loads of issues including out going SMS and internet issues.
So I was thinking if I could directly upgrade to Amber.

No you can't, it requires "Portico"

On my case, the first update was portico, so i have to update to portico first. And when the update is done, i checked for another sw update and showed amber..
