Question for Android experts, not According to the online instructions, I was to re-start the phone, and the update icon should have appeared in the top corner. I have restarted the phone, have powered it off completely, then turned it back on, but nothing I do produces an update icon.

Try Method 1: update via recovery

I also extracted the zip file but of course that only showed me all of the files; there was no prompt that would indicate they were being installed as firmware. I tried the phone's update function as well but no fw updates were indicated.

file should be zipped and called update.zip

Yip, great advice!
