6.60 pro works fine. it doesn't even take a minute to boot into the cfw. why are you sticking with an outdated cfw?
Also, I have a 2000, but it's got an 88v3 mobo which hasn't been decrypted fully meaning I can't flash anything on it permanently. What mobo version do you have in yours? If you can flash a fw period you would be able to upgrade and use the permanent cipl to boot into cfw from a full power off.
