I have read many posts stating that a null modem is not needed to flash (I induced a Kein System error just to try this- glutton for punishment, I know!) and had no success at all with just a crossover. I must have tried over 30 times to power cycle the damn thing without any joy. I went and bought a null modem cable, used this alongside crossover and on second attempt, IFA worked its magic. Cost me £7 from Maplins, but well worth it.

I always said that the null modem cable increases your chances of getting IFA to flash but nobody listened lol. I recommend a null modem cable for at least newbies - especially when you can pick them up for £2.99 on eBay.
I have now got IFA working without the null modem cable but its like your working in the dark, and you never no whether it'll kick in or not. At least with the cable you can actually see a bootlog on screen whilst doing it.

I borrowed my first null modem cable and always used it on a flash. Then having nothing to do this week, decided to try getting out of Kein System after reading numerous posts and the difficulty that can be had.
I admit, I gave the cable back to my mate some time ago and dead easy to induce Kein system, was stuck with just a crossover to recover from it. But, lesson learned. Top marks to you Liam for getting it to work.
