Hi all
i am trying to flash my webstar epc 2100

with blackcat i got the blackcat read from jtags4all however the blackcat tool wont detect the modem.

I have an rs232 but that doesn't work ether the modem was subbed until around 2 weeks ago could vm have killed the modem so you cant flash it?

i have an ambit 200 thats working great can use any of the 2 on that!

what i have noticed when the blackcat is connected to the modem the modem wont boot until its disconnected is this subost to happen?

Please Help !

i done my s/a 2100 with blackat lead fine no probs, it detected it no probs, but now iam stuck on the next part like how to confiqure the modem, (eg) where iam surposed to type the cd /msg , cd non etc i aint got a clue guys, i got the infinite page up but i cant see anywhere where i can alter anything, when i go into the 250 confiq, if i put the mac in and the rest of the details the write setting button is still ghosted out and also the button for change password and user is ghosted. so i guess iam missing the middle steps of this procedure guys thats why iam stuck, i hope someone can help.

oh i forgot to mention i got my blackat lead from flebay and when i got it i seen it was listed as being modified for the s/a 2100. so i brought 2 differnt lead one for a sb5100 and the other for the s/a 2100. now i might have brought the same lead twice but i used them on wot they was brought for and they worked ok. so it could be ur blackat lead is for the other modems and not the s/a 2100 u may need another. its just a thought mate, iam no expert

Just to let u all know, ive sorted mine. Using the blackcat software, i clicked 'write all' selected the bootloader file. It flashed it in about 7 - 10 mins. and now i have the 'p' option
