This appears in Odin's message box

<1> --- cannot open the usb serial port. code: 5
--------------------------------------------------------

what is this supposed to mean? i tried plug in/out few times the USB cable, but still no changes. however in Kies i can backup the data to PC
flawlessly. pls help me guys

yes, the robot with the caution sign already appears, with 'Downloading'

any solution yet guys? okay, i will restart my laptop. just incase it's related..

ok now the connection problem has been solved. now the prob arise in getting the froyo in. after following the instructions (including hard reset) my G5 keeps rebooting in normal 2.1 ( i guess) because the settting menu is still in monotones and the "about phone' still displays 2.1 -update1..

if this keep going on i might just wait for original release..sigh
