getting the same thing. Im not going to go for it though. I dont know if it will accept rom but i know it will flash .bin no idea why the option to save as .bin wasnt included. and the info for what to do in this situation isnt written down anyware. I strongly recommend that it is added to the guide.

you can force flash it but dont do it unless you are sur your card has the same pcb. refrence or non refrence

C'mon, you gotta be kiddin' me.
A rom-image is just a binary file. There's no such thing as a difference between .ROM and .BIN. What's in a name?
