I've gone into recovery, but the only option I see in there is to install update.zip from SD card. Since the zip file is named something like "Moment2.1 Live Wallpaper.zip" I didn't select the option to install the "update.zip".

Now to be clear, I'm running a completely stock Samsung Moment with the official Sprint release of the Andriod 2.1 system. ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER MODS HAVE BEEN MADE... NO ROOTING... NO NADDA.

Can someone please post a simple, (or complicated), step-by-step instruction set for those of us who have been with Android for a matter of weeks?

I'm completely confused by people constantly referring to different "Recoverys" in both version and the names of the peeps who designed them. I've googled my a** off and I see no way of downloading, installing, or anything else regarding Recovery. The Recovery I see is what I'm assuming is the stock Recovery built into the device / Android 2.1.

ANY SCHOOLING OF THIS NOOB INCLUDING FLAMING (IF PRODUCTIVE) IS APPRECIATED!
Gosh u r so right! ive been with windows mobile for years! so all this new vocabulary when it comes to android is new to me
