check out mytutorial at sb5101 no flash detected
if your flashing takes about 5 seconds you need to replace the flash.pi with this one http://www.psptron.com/forum/index.p...=3.0;attach=21

You can also run a knife along the flash chip metal legs whilst still plugged in. I use a penknife (swiss army knife). Look for the Intel, Toshiba, AMD flash.

Once it detects but not the flash just do this while still plugged in with Jtag and power in modem. Once the lights flash after running the knife along the edge of the flash and the modem resets hit "detect" and you should be able to flash from there.

I've done this multiple times on 3 types of modems. My 5101e luckily I knew what I was doing to not brick that lol. The rest took me a few hours to figure out but the search button does wonders for that .
