The modems work inside the walled garden once the modem is sent the new config file and reboots its bricked.

Still ive some ambit 256's to mess about with i guess.

And whats worse is the indian call centres know nothing about this problem so its like banging my head against a brick wall and will just have to give it another week before asking for another modem i guess. Only the engineers local to this area know about it.


What do you mean? bricked

so what i can gather is that people who force the config files now will end up with a bricked modem?

how can a config file attack the bootloader?
