Try the console unlocker software.
It worked on a `bricked` Ambit I had and it won't cost anything to try.

hi there guys n girls!.
i think some of you are getting mixed up about bricked modems. a bricked modem is where the software on the modem (tsop chip) is f~@ked and u can't read or wright to it via rs232 233 or ethnet.

now the console unlocker WILL NOT sort a bricked modem out, it will only do the ambit250/255 that have had the alex update that got rid of the
---OPTION P---

the only way to do a bricked modem is with a willam or blackcat....

ambit 250/255 willam only(chip of and reprogram)
moto: most have a jtag port that you can conect to and blackcat!

hope this clear's things up a little!
