I have a fully tested max 232 from someone I know on Ebay. I know that is working perfect with what I can get up in hyperterminal.

But when I am suppose to have the option on typing p isnt it supposed to give you 1 or 2 secs. So far I think its given me 0 seconds or if it has come up at all. Is it the first line hyperterminal will display?

Go thru the whole process again from console unlocker to Softjtag and then follow my instructions, too see if ti helps.

I know it seems like a flash, but trust me it can be done. its quicker than normal P options, I have missed it a fair few times myself.

So don't worry.

Hmm cant see it anywhere in my hyperterminal log

checked all the way through it seems to boot using the nasty one it was using before. Shame I cant copy and paste it. But I should have been seeing this

Is SoftJtag lying to me?

Enter '1', '2', or 'p' within 2 seconds or take default...

Managed to finally get it to work!

Now just got to find a better firmware because the basic one I installed doesnt seem to try and lock on.

Console unlocker sort of works for me, it comes up with errors but if I set it to the wrong com port I can use the terminal briefly, but then the watchdog resets the modem.. I can do the scan_stop command, but the reset still happens..The readme for console unlocker said it was for 2.94.1014 (which is on my modem) but the program itself says 2.94.1094.. Is this why it doesn't work fully?
