I followed the steps above both via adb push and downloading files to sd card. When I go into recovery mode I am not given the option to install from sd card, only the following choices:

reboot system now
apply sdcard: update.zip (which does not exist on my sdcard)
wipe data/ factory reset
wipe cache partition

Recovery mode does not give me the option to flash from sdcard like the example shown in post above. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hello,

You have to unzip the zip file and copy its contents to your sd card. In fact you need both zip files linked at the bottom of the OP. You have to extract both of them to your sdcard, then follow the prompts. It is not finding the flash image because it is a file still contained within a zip. You cannot flash the zip file with adb.

alright kinda noob problem but still a problem.

You probably have the new video display and drivers. You need to go with the latest xionia recovery.
