I think you must not use the US 3.00 but must use the original one. Have you sved the orginal GUPDATE.GDC that was on the device? if so you can open that in RGN tool and save it to a RGN file and use that to flash.

That is what helped me to unbrick it.
But still no luck for me getting to Thai version

Have you deleted text and voice folder?
Some original texts and voices are not suited with Thai version.

Wow finally some progress.

I found out that in RGN tool my original 5.00 GDC had first the boot then the fw_all and then the fw1_resources. In the thai version it had a different order. I changed the order and now it flashed correctly. The device started and now has 3.00 software version on it.

I'm about to load the JCV file to test.
