- unpacks "/upgrade/fs.tgz" to the rootfs
- unpacks "/upgrade/db.tgz" to the data partition
That is essentially what is done when the firmware is updated, minus the reformatting.

What I'm having fun playing with now is updating the factory firmware. That is, instead of reverting to the version that was in the recovery partition when the device (Glo, in this case) was shipped, I wanted to have the factory reset revert to a later version.
