Gene,

Download the firmware instructions and follow what it says to the  
letter. You just download the firmware file. Unzip the zipped file.  
Copy the file to a freshly formated SD card (you need a card reader).  
Make sure you have a fully charged battery in your M8. Insert the SD  
card. Turn on the M8. Then follow the instructions on the M8 screen.  
It will display automatically.
