I cannot flash any ROM to the Lenovo K1 IdeaPad - Please Help

Hi everybody !!

Can anyone please give me a hand here !! .... I am trying to upgrade my Lenovo K1 IdeaPad to either ICS or to JB 4.x.x but somehow I cannot get through the installation process. I am using the NVFlash method on APX Mode with Windows 7 and 8. I start the installation process with the "flash-win.bat" file that is included in most of the different ROM versions posted in this forum (as well as other forums), but no matter which ROM version I use with this method, it stops in the middle of the installation process and hangs at this point:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Formatting partition 12 UDA please wait.. done! "

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and it hangs at this point !!!!

Any hints at what may be happening ??

Below I am including the CMD.exe trace of the installation process :
