Hi

My mac address went off 1 night so i was trying new 1's.
Then after like about an hour of trying the interface page suddenly changed!!! looked different & the part where u enter+change the mac's had suddenly gone!

Below are photos of a Before & After so u know exactly what happened.

My main concern is trying to get it back to its original. Please let me know how i can do this.

Thank you.

its an old printer cable .look up how to make a jtag it will tell you everything about it?

fnr3master · 27-09-10, 11:26 AM

to save the messing about making one just buy a poor mans jtag from ebay for around £6, and flash away. it will take around 30 to 45 mins to flash depending on ur comp speed etc etc.
