That's exactly what I did and I see this on the screen
Android system recovery <2e>

Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -

reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition__________________________________

# MANUAL MODE #
At which point I can reboot system fine however I cannot apply sdcard: update.zip

I can wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition
I am now getting a little different error message though.

E:failed to verify whole -file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Trying to flash baked snack I basically loaded it onto the sd card and renamed it update.zip and changed the old update.zip to update.zin
I read somewhere else about using different kernels but I'm still on stock kernel not sure if that makes a difference. There is just not one definitive guide on the epic from start to finish step by step. Everyone is assuming you know some previous step. I need an epic flashing tutorial for dummies.
