Where do you get the proper "SU flashable zip"?

Is it right for the update to start off with a progress bar and then switch to an icon with an exclamation point and a little android?
no. you either had a corrupt download or didn't follow the instructions.
I was following spc_hicks09's instructions. However, imnut's post linked by OP says to boot all the way and setup phone before your are "ready to accept OTA". Tried adding that before booting into stock recovery and it worked. Think it was the formatting going on in the middle of the first full boot of EE4. YMMV.
Well, like I said, ymmv.
But when I odin'd a full EE4 unto the phone it goes through the Samsung logo, then a format cycle, then the Samsung logo then android boot. I think it needed to go through that format cycle because it did not work the first time and it appears to be working this time (albeit very slowly). I'm using the same update.zip file on the sdcard.
Hey, I'm not arguing that you weren't basically right. I'm saying in my case I had to let EE4 boot once first. Furthermore, I did not have to mount system each time (it was already mounted upon boot).
Regardless of that, your instructions DID allow me to get it to work and I probably wouldn't have figured it out without the help. Thanks for writing up what you did.
Now I just gotta debloat the thing and restore all my apps. Cool!
Here are my instructions for getting all this to work:
BEFORE YOU ODIN BACK TO EE4, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SU FLASHABLE ZIP, THE OTA UPDATE AND IMOSEYON'S KERNEL ON YOUR SDCARD!
Make sure the update file is renamed to "update" and that it's on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders or anything)
Odin back to EE4. Reboot normally.
Turn the phone off, then reboot into Stock Recovery and run the update.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME ITS NOT POOP AND PUMPKIN COLORED
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge
How do you flash Imo's kernel if my recovery doesn't stick, and can't get into recovery?
If I flashed the unrooted, ep4p leak from last month, will I have to flash back to ee4 to install or recieve the official new update?
