Exclamation Help with Motorola Surfboard 5101e

Hi guys, Just wandering if anybody out there knew exactly what i need for modding a motorola surfboard 5101e modem. I have been reading up on this and struggling to get one up and running.

I have a blackkat lead and schwarze katz program but i have also been told i need a 2mb dump file and also do i have to put pin headers in for max 232/3 lead aswell as black kat to do this modem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

hi tried it is way and now all i get is a single orange light it will not let me access 192.168.100.1 page and also when it came up verifying written data 0x150000 it failed 3 times and asked me to continue i said yes but still nothing. Is there something different i should be doing (it says fault address). Now it has failed again and came up error unable to verify data.

Its starting to wreck my head
