RUU upgrade didnīt finish after 8 hours.
I think it never started, because all what I could see is word USB in the top of the dispaly after the scren that showed my old ROM versions and the new ones, and I accepted the Start upgrade.
After retrying RUU as suggested in several posts, I get ERROR 101. Connection error. Check cables, power, ....
It seems that bootloader is missing, as I can not get into it (only words Serial/USB on top and v 1.01 at bottom of the screen).
Do I have any solution. (I bougth it in Hong Kong THREE days ago!!), and I am live in Spain.

It seems that the problem was in mi portable (Windows 98 Second edition).
After starting upgrade again with a Windows 2000 machine all worked perfectly.
Is it documented any problem upgrading with Windows 98 SE ??

Ok that upgrade is only supported under W2K or XP,
BUT
it didnīt mentioned it in the presentation scren
AND
it starded ERASING my flash.
I think that an OS check can be performed and this problem can be easily corrected.
You can imagine how i felt during the three days that I have my XDA dead.
