The device seemed bricked at this point, the power on button didn't worked. Fortunately after I removed the battery I was able to start it, but the same thing happened, so I booted into recovery mode did a wipe and applied the update.zip once again but this time I didn't restored the google apps and after a reboot it was stuck in the boot screen (15 minutes nothing happened) so I removed the batttery and flashed the original firmware.
I'm not sure what I did wrong, the update.zip is the Galaxo.zip renamed? or do I have to unpack it and get something from there? and the SAMSUNG.tar is the BJ6.tar renamed? Is a nandroid backup required? (I skipped that step).
I had this exact same problems when I did not do a wipe from recovery before installing the Galaxo.zip. Fortunately I did a nandroid backup beforehand. So I just restored the backup, wiped, installed the Galaxo.zip, restored G.apps and all worked!
