Out of interest if you put the dload folder on your SD card and power up normally the whole process will run through to completion (the fresh screen configuration request) without touching anything and no battery removal.
It will boot twice on it's own and after the second time give OK update completed.
Remove the SD card and power off and then on for the final boot.
Well it did for me and I was quite surprised!
Flashed 6 hours ago and no issues at all.
It's running very sweet!!!!!!

I'm going to to do a fresh flash tomorrow to check the process and will report back.I flashed my Telstra TTT (the Australian version of the S7) last night with the Norwegian firmware and my experience was different from yours. I did it with a blank 1G SD card with just the dload folder. The process wasn't as easy as you described but went more like that described for the Indonesian firmware, i.e. got the progress bar which got to OK, at which point the only way to switch off was to remove the battery. Repeated the process as suggested in the Indonesian thread, and eventually did get 2.2 running.
The device has been operating ok, not significantly quicker or slower than before, and GPS fix took as long/short (minute or so inside house).
One problem I got today though: I used it to browse the internet while on the bus to work, and shut it down before I got off the bus. What happened was however that the device automatically powered on again after shut down (i.e. went through the IDEOS logo thing), and I had to repeat the shut down process three times before it stopped restarting.
Does anyone else get the same problem?
Further update: just found another surprise, this time a really nice one! The S7 sold by Telstra in Australia is locked to the Telstra network, and mine is no exception. Telstra charges A$100 to unlock the tablet. I just found that the Norwegian firmware has unlocked the tablet for me! Perhaps it is not really unlocking the tablet, but that the firmware is not checking the lock for any of its functions. But the effect is the same.
I am happy!
I've had that problem occasionally with multiple firmwares - Singapore 2.1, Indo 2.2, and I think also the original Best Buy 2.1. Have not tried Norwegian 2.2 yetDoes anyone else get the same problem?
