for best results flash using Windows XP

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

if you are installing an official update, you may need to extract and hex edit the region / network carrier designation to match your device.

eg. my phone had CEHI2 and i wanted to install DXIB1.

for xp update, extract contents using winrar. i dont know if you need to extract the vista one or not, i dont have vista

using a hex editor, edit the extracted EXE.

eg. search for a STRING DXIB1, and change region / network carrier designation to suit your device. ie. i changed DXIB1 to CEIB1, save.

* the samsung modem driver should come in the official update

here is the xp driver just in case.
