I got it! The directions on that download site say "download the gapps file here" and it had a long filename.
After reading 11 pages of posts, i found it in case anyone else runs into it. You have to rename BOTH files.
So, you download the allmine file, extract that, and name it "update.zip"and put it on a FAT (not FAT32) formatted 1 gig drive. Then you rename the long gapps file and just shorten it to "gapps.zip"
Some tips I compiled:
Use a 1gb usb or sdb my 500mb didnt seem to work
Some people renamed the FIRST zip file without extracting and renaming the zip file INSIDE the first file.
Others not familiar with hidden file extensions sometimes accidentally named it "update.zip.zip" with the second .zip hidden due to windows.
Mine only updated when i had power plugged in, since i fixed the gapps file name, it might be a coincidence but it might help.
Last, someone said if you hold it on your lap, the buttons might not be depressed all the way. I put it flat on a table, and held both, THEN I hit power, and I held both until i got the updating screen.
Maybe you can try only renamng gapps file and see if the rest matters.
Let me know if it works for you.
