A Scroll with ClockworkMod Installed

With CockworkMod Recovery
Copy your update.zip file onto the root of your SD card.
Reboot your Scroll into ClockworkMod Recovery Mode (Turn off the tablet then turn it back on while holding the volume up key to boot into recovery mode)
Perform a Nandroid backup just in case! - Select the backup/Recovery menu option then backup
Back at the main menu select the option "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Select Yes. (not No No No No No No or No)
The scroll will then flash the update.zip file.
Reboot your Scroll and see the changes!

With Stock Recovery
Copy your update.zip file onto the root of your SD card.
Reboot your Scroll into Recovery Mode (Turn off the tablet then turn it back on while holding the volume up key to boot into recovery mode)
You do not have the option of making a backup - this is why ClockworkMod is suggested!
Back at the main menu select the option "apply sdcard:update.zip"
The scroll will then flash the update.zip file.
Reboot your Scroll and see the changes!

Nice write up again - thanks

Cheers. I need to edit this to include the fact you can use the default recovery to do this though

this doesn't work for me , any ideas why , and does anyone have an official update.zip

I tried this aswell and no file exists.

Make sure you have the update.zip on the root of your sd card.there are no official update.zip files yet

install from sdcard
findind update package
opening update package
E:cant open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Instalation aborted

File is there i just checked.

is this with clockworkmod or the stock recovery image?

Clockworkmod
I done backup first aswell incase dropped a bollock..

clockorkk should have no probalem flashing this update.zip.
try browsing for the update.zip manually rather than using shortcut and see if that works
