Upgrading Samsung spica i5700 to eclair 2.1

Hi ALL,
I did this one yesterday, so updating here, there are multiple websites, hope this can help also

If you have not done it already follow these two links, both are expnative
1.http://www.greaky.com/2010/02/samsung-i5700-galaxy-spica-android-21.html
2.http://think-tek.blogspot.com/2010/03/samsung-spica-i5700-android-21-update.html
what you need is as below(the second website actually gives all the links where you can download all this stuff)
1. If you have already installed NPS 1.3 or 1.4 ensure that its displaying the phone. Although it wont do anything more.do not worry.It just needs tobe detected.get it from india(i7500) or UK (i5700) site.
2. windows XP, it wont work with Win7.
3. ODIN package amd spica_js.ops(this is important,do not use old one, i faced issue)
4. XXJCB2 ROM from samsung-firmware site(u need membership its free anyway)

what you need to do
1. backup your data using mybackup or some free applications
2. use NPS to connect and check phone is displayed
3. disconnect and kill NPS from task manager
4. then follow link 2, it should be pretty easy , 6-7 minutes all it would take,if it takes more disconnect and remove battery and reboot
