The situation is getting more peculiar for every minute. I tried the following (as stated in the flash recovery guide): awdflash bios.bin /py /sn /Sb /cc Ofcourse, swapping out bios.bin with the real image. Now, I get the error message: "Unknown Flash Type !" Any clues..? EDIT: Nevermind.. the /f pa...
