In case after resurrection (after you have tried with both boot versions) the download mode is not initiated (LCD remains blank) do repeat resurrection with ‘Clone Gremlin zone’ option checked.
Please note, in most cases you will be required to insert Samsung P1010 RIFF™ MagicCard into phone’s SD slot before starting resurrection. In case you don’t have such card yet, you can create it on the “Samsung P1010 RIFF™ MagicCard” page of the resurrector settings dialog.
This is IRAM version of the Samsung P1010 resurrector. We recommend you using it only in case you had problems connecting to phone with normal Samsung P1010 resurrector DLL.
