i dont fink u will be able to put sigma firmware on ur 5101 as it dont support it. as sigma is for 3348 chipset.

sb5100 = 3348 chipset = sigma firmware, shelled firmware, 5100mod firmware

sb5101 = 3349 chipset = haxorware firmware, infinite firmware

stop scanning frequency
----------------------------------
cd /d
scan_stop
or
cd /cm

scan_stop


just type it in m8 even though it is still scanning and you cant see wot you are typing, once you have typed it in and hit enter then it will stop scanning and then u will be able to type in ur commands and see wot is going on

sb5101e with sigma x2 does work !


to stop the scan
copy red
cd docsis_ctl
scan_stop
cd /

and paste it into the terminal a few times !!
and you will see it stop on the second paste

yes it works..its Sigma 130 on a SB5101 ....even though the modem is scanning for frequencies...if you enter the commands and press return each time...it stops scanning....mind you havnt got a mac working so reverted back to hax 39..lol

forgot to mention it flashes fine and works ok on my s/a 2100 but only the power light and pc light come on, which may lead some peeps to think they bricked it.

but i took a 2mb dump and put it on a sb5101e and again all works fine and also the lights work correct aswell for the sb5101e
