Load your flash drive on your PC. When you browse the drive, does the update folder icon have a zipper on it? What does it say under type? Lots of people have managed to try to use files named update.zip.[some random file extension] where the .zip is actually just part of the filename and not the file extension, which just won't work

Now you mentioned that you're using a stick with a light, that's good since it let's you know it's doing something.

When I flash my Edges, I hold the buttons down until the second dot appears and when it does, if an update is happening (any update), a small white cursor appears in the upper right hand corner of the tablet with dot #2.

The last thing that I've done and seen others do is accidentally put the dingo file on the drive instead of the ermine.

And you could try to re-download the file in case it got corrupted somehow.
After 2 long days of battling with the manual update, I was directed to this thread and sure enough my PE is currently updating to Froyo 2.2! Can't wait! After my struggles I want to share what worked for me. It seems I was doing everything right except the renaming part. If you're downloading a zip or winrar file DO NOT RENAME IT TO UPDATE.ZIP! JUST RENAME IT TO "UPDATE". If you attempt to add the .zip portion in Windows you will get a warning saying that the file may become unusable! Thanks to pyxiwulf for the tip!

Love me some Pocket Edge! Can't wait to get my mits on the full size device!
