Samsung I780 - Flashing issue

[Insomnious]

Hello to all I780-lovers :)

Little help needed in relation to flashing the phone.

All in all EFN's ROMs are great, but I've always been missing the Russian hardware keyboard support, since the PDA part (and respective keyboard driver) is English and AEKMap's layout is not fully correct for my use.

So I decided to reflash full PUHE1 (Russian) image (eboot+phone+pda). Unfortunately I'm unable to do it for some reason. After I connect the phone to USB, the Mirage shows "Downloading EBOOT..." in log window and "Downloading image 0%" in status window. And that's all, it gets stuck! Nothing changes even if I wait for 30 mins.

Yes, I have Windows XP installed (not crappy Vista), I followed all the steps described by g00ndu in his tutorial - so I cannot imagine what else can be wrong here.

Could anybody give me a helping hand please please please!!

Anybody..?

I think I can help. Let me investigate Russian PUHE1 first and see what I can do ;)

Thank you for your readiness to help, EFN :)
Just managed to get the workaround myself. Quickly it can be described as follows:
1. Load full ROM *.img into Mirage.
2. Find the extracted files on C:\
3. Copy _xip0.nb0 somewhere, rename it to _xip0.bin and use it as PDA ROM.
4. As for flashing the radio separatly, one just needs to clear LOADER and PDA fields in Mirage by clicking respective buttons once, then clicking PHONE twice, selecting the _phone.bin from C:\ - and flashing :)
Voila.


P.S. EFN, I'm having a slight intention of trying to localize your ROM for Russian users, as well as to try solving the issue with different hardware keyboard drivers (cook the one from the Russian ROM into your 6.1 maybe for Russian language support). Wouldn't it be impolite to ask you for some assistance in case I'll really need some? :)
