Really not sure what upgrading the firmware has to do with how easy the radio is to program but...
The problem is you need to upgrade the firmware, the bootloader and the SD card content together.
If you are using the FrSky version of 2.2.2 then the SD card content is here...

If you used the"official" OpenTX version of 2.2.2 then the SD card content is linked from the Companion 2.2 File->Download dialog and is also linked from the Companion download page...

Unfortunately they are slightly different and generally I recommend using the official "Open TX" vesions except that does require you to install Companion so is more complex to do
The bootloader is part of the firmware file but you update it by putting that file on the SD card in the FIRMWARES folder, navigating to it using the SD card browser in the RADIO SETUP pages, selecting it and pressing ENTER to get the menu. If the firmware file doesn't show up on the radio you may have to shorten the filename.
The SD card content was re-organized between 2.1 and 2.2 so once you have updated the bootloader you should replace the SD card content with the 2.2.2 version. Make sure to copy the version file in the root, opentx.sdcard.version, since it contains the version string that the firmware checks.
