today i am pointed in this direction in the forum and find serena's instructs. it did another update but still, i am on 1.6 firmware version.
any other suggestions?
thx,

did you rename the file. if the file says "update.zip" after you change it, then its probably already in a zip format. i think this has to do with the way windows explorer display *.zip, *.doc, *.txt extensions. in other words you normally would not see the extension *.zip but just 'update' as the file name with the extension .zip hidden. if you see .zip the actual file is "update.zip.zip" wtih the last .zip hidden. therefore the eDGe would not see it as an update file.
its alittle confusing but I have no other way to explain it to you. actually when i rename my file to update.zip the icon for the file actually changed as well and the .zip portion disappeared (or hidden)
