Hello :)

That looks like you used a FLASHING software and a DATA cable... which won't work.

"Cannot initialise local mod" or "unable to prepare phone" are usual error messages in that case.

If you use a flasher cable, and got windows XP, you need to install "userport" first, which you can find somewhere in the forums.......

Kind regards...
