download the correct files regarding absulute path and subpath or click on link for it.

So use the procedure for correct flash not 1 file or 2 files but in this case 3 files as stated for the procedure for SDCard /dload/ flash or recovery zip flash.

The procedure and sequence should be the same as in filelist.xml.

Use only one file (update.app) in zip in time or use recovery zip flash option
