Turn the phone off, hit the "volume down" button while holding down the power button, and it will enter set up. Keep an eye on it as it will ask you to hit press the trackball button as "enter" to continue with the update. Make sure you do that.

ok i just put it on my sd card im on the screen with the 3 skateboards and nothings happening??

Once you have the .zip file on your SD card you need to power off your phone. Hold down the volume down button on the side of the phone and press the power button. It will launch the boot loader screen where it will tell you that it found an update and ask you if you'd like to update. Simply press the trackball once. It will then prompt you again to reboot when it's finished, which takes about 10 minutes. Press the trackball again.

Done.
