Error on my recovery screen

Did you click allow update (the option above it) the install update.zip

Yes, but it didn't do anything. Guess I should have asked if that was correct before moving on.

ima assume you are running windows 7. And i am going to assume you deleted the othe update.zip off your sdcard. and I am going to assume you put the ese 81 on the root of your sdcard (that measn it dont go into any folders) then you renamed it update (update.zip for other windows verisions)

No, windows XP, but yes I deleted the other update off the SD card and (here may be the problem) after I downloaded ESE, I renamed it and then moved it to the SDcard - it's on there as a zip file.

 

[pc747]

ok then it should be named update.zip

 

[jesdroid]

ok then it should be named update.zip

Yes, that's what I renamed it.

 

[pc747]

ok reboot and let your battery charge Ima look into something because that should have worked.

 

[jesdroid]

Ok - will do

 

[pc747]

yes its suppose to be zipped folder, do not unzip the folder....

 

[jesdroid]

Ok...I didn't unzip it but I thought about it! lol

I THINK I moved it over correctly (to SD) but I deleted the file and am re-downloading and starting the process over. The file is taking long to download.

 

[pc747]

alright see what happens

 

[pc747]

just follow that vid and u should be fine.

 

[jesdroid]

ok..maybe a dumb question but when I move the rename the file "update.zip" and then move it over to the SD, it shows the file as update.zip.zip Should I just name the file update and when I move it over it will be update.zip??

 

[jesdroid]

I changed the file name to update and it has installed now.
