It *can* be flashed. However, because Gateway have written their 'signature'
on the firmware, it's not being recognised. You need a different flasher
like Binflash. Go to this website http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/2500/
Get Binflash. Also trear youself and get Riplock removed(fast) or RPC1
firmware.
