Sounds like your modem has the alex bootloader in which case you will need to use console unlocker to put the old bootloader back on.
The earlier bootloader has the p option which is needed so that you can flash the modem with the latest haxorware firmware.

PS. get yourself a MAX232 cable
BTW.... Welcome to the forum

Requires MAX232 cable

Run the console unlocker, the use SoftJtag to connect to and flash the 2.16 bootloader with the "Write Bootloader" option.

After writing, reboot the modem by way of disconnecting/reconnecting the power, but be ready to hit "p" immediately as if you let it boot fully, it will be back without the p option, and you'll have to softjtag again.

Once you have gained access to the "p" simply follow the rest of whichever guide it is you are following.

For example, run your tftp server with the firmware located in its root folder, then hit "d" on the modem menu, then the tftp server address as 192.168.100.10, then enter the f/w filename when asked to, then it will flash for you and the job will be done.

Well, apart from setting up Haxorware and getting some MAC's!!

USAGE:

1. Apply serial and Ethernet connection between your PC and the modem

2. Set your PC IP parameters to:
IP: 192.168.100.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.100.1

3. Power on the modem and wait for it to startup (10 secs)

4. Open the Console Unlocker application set Inject delay to 5 or 4 then hit “Execute Exploit” (if it tells you to reset the modem then keep the program open unplug it then plug it back in)

5. If it says its successful, then the console is now ready to accept connections!

If it fails, power cycle the modem and try the application again.
At this point, if you want to restore your bootloader to the original 2.1.6d that has the re-flashing menu etc, you need a copy of SoftJTAG and the
2.1.6d bootloader.

**BE CAREFUL WHEN USING SOFTJTAG - As you can brick your modem if your not careful**

1. Open SoftJTAG, and connect via your serial port. (I Used the network)

2. On the right hand side, click on “Write Bootloader” and select the
2.1.6d bootloader file

3. Wait till its done (this takes 10 – 15 minutes). Once it’s done, close SoftJTAG

4. Start HyperTerminal/TeraTerm and connect to your serial port
5. Reset the modem

Upon resetting the modem, you will now be given the option to stop at P as it is now booting with the 2.1.6d bootloader. You MUST press the button
and stop then, as if you miss it and let it fully boot, your bootloader will be over-written again with the 3.1.6d, in which case you will have to repeat
these steps again and be quicker not to miss it next time.

If you are successful in entering the menu, you can now re-flash or whatever you wish to do with your modem from this menu!
