Thank you chaimd! Think we could get the XXHH1 radio from the SAHH2 update and make it coexist with the HH1 flash?

I'm assuming you didn't upgrade via this guide.

The second scenario is that something really terrible will happen and you won't even get the bootloader. You will get a blank screen, and XP will identify a device called 'MONAHANS', with no suitable driver. Should this happen, at this time, YOU WILL HAVE TO RETURN YOUR DEVICE TO A SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTRE!

:D

Are you on XP?

You should press the reset pin, your phone should stay at the 'Samsung Omnia' logo, then the button should become enabled.

Ummm, it should say 'Calculating file parameters(DISKIMAGE).... Calculating file parameters(DISKIMAGE) Done!!' when you load up the image, not when you hit Detect!
