i600 = M6200
Looks like the Samsung Blackjack sold in Korea is identical in most parts with the European version i600. When I tried to update the phone using Samsungs MITs Upgrade Wizard the process stopped at 89% for some reason and I was left with a non-functional phone. Fortunately there are lots of adventurous people around who write about their experience flashing phones. While trying to get it back I decided to give it a try and flash WM6.
First I had to find the USB flash mode, which can be enabled by pressing and holding the green "Receiver" button and the power button. This is quite different from what you find on the net elsewhere. But then it all works as
advertised.
Important, though, is to run the MITs wizard first in emergency mode to get the original flash files, just in case. Now the phone has a working WM6 with all its pros and cons. One drawback, however, is that the phones buttons change. In the european version, the number buttons are located in the middle and not the left side of the keyboard. However, that is something I can live with.
