New Firmware for Motorola Surfboard 5101E, Anyone tried it?

[racky29]

ive heard it does work, but i thing it may have the same trouble every st chip has and dont keep the setting changes properly, i may be wrong, give it a go and see,

you can always load somthing else or blackcat it back to life using the jtag port

Hi notices your link for the Haxorware firmware. but dont seem to be able to access it. .... Help! I have a surfboard 5101

pm if it helps.

thanks

[racky29]

link works ok, highlight it and copy and paste into your browser

[one2b3]

my only concern is i cant see a force config tick box lol.

i take it that it forces the config file name you enterd by default?

i want to give it a try on a sb5101e. but ive read that is a bad idea to install over a pre installed infinite?

Also do the leds work properly on the SB now?

I also read changing the snp ports is a good idea? STEALTH!?

gonna try install now on a webstar 2100 i have just required!

Hi all my first post, just installed Haxorware 10rc3 firmware onto a ntl250 works great all the lights work very easy to do, even installed over infinite firmware still no probs. I like the option of turn off vm updates

[afcwomble]

Just before I try this again with another 250 modem-think I bricked 1st 1 by saving flash to wrong sector can I ask what the 2 different files are and why they go in different areas(sector 0 or 1) The full 2mb flash I belive is to go to sector 0, am I right with that? And the smaller flash, under 1mb goes in 1? Do I need to do full flash 1st then the smaller 1 saving to the relevant sectors or is it just one OR the other I flash? Would like to understand the difference betwen the 2 before I do it.

Instructions:

If your modem is currently running infinite firmware YOU MUST restore it to its normal (virgin) state, like it was out of the box.
To to this you restore your 2MB backup that i hope you made before flashing infinite.
After your modem is in virgin state you can either:

Flash with USBJTAG/SBHJTAG:

Connect to modem with hyperterminal or putty (with changed CR/LF to LF)
While modem is turning on press p (you should get a prompt)
Set the Modem IP to 192.168.100.1
Everything else just press enter
