Ive done exactly the same thing and tried everthing that ive read, but cant get it going. Has ur blackcat cable got an ic? mine hasnt and i wondered if getting one ( with a ic ) would make a difference.

Had exactly the same problem fixed it by opening blackcat normally let it detect the modem. Then discocnect the power to the modem then select the full 2mb flash you want to write. Plug the power back in the modem the second you click on the open button. If all goes well blackcat should rewrite the firmware at normal speed. Once written blackcat should detect your flash version again.
