Okay a very strange problem im having its just started this morning, when i connected my modem and it wont find any signal at all the freq is in and all the settings are correct. also i cant seem to find a good mac there just give me the AV page.

should i reflash my modem with hax 31 the test fix for teeside would that help?

also has any1 else came across this problem?

cheers.

[funkyfones]

not seen it, frequency hasnt been changed? take it the line is active from the AV page? what config u using? maybe try spoofing a different device?

[50pounds]

cheers for your input funky ive reflashed my modem with a test fix of hax and it seems to lock on ok now but still seeing that dam AV page alot only got about 3macs now that work for 4hours lol this is mad.. i would get it in but VM wont put it in unless i pay £180 in full covers 4months or sumthing he said on the phone.

i get the same probs with haxo at the moment aswell in regards to the mac going dead temperarly for a week or 2 after a reboot or power cut, its a bummer, i either switch between 2 modems with different macs in them when one goes dead i hook the other up and when that goes dead i go back to the previous one and leave the same mac in as it will come back on again from its previous death. sometimes i just change a few digits on the serial no. before i hook up the coax feed.

at the moment iam running sigma 13.5 stealth on sb5100 as i find this most stable and it seems to survive reboots and power cuts etc, but i dont think it works for everyone.

it might be iam not stealthing correctly or something on haxo and thats why its dying after a reboot or something. but i cant be bothered to mess with one at the moment as some people say they get not probs during reboots and some do. i use s/a 2100 on haxo and also a sb5101 all get the same probs. and the dchp offer/sent not received in the error logs, leading to the surposed clone dectection.

so sigma firmware on sb5100 it will be for me, for the time being

sorted it went around my g/f mothers and scanned for fresh macs back on now for 5hours this test fix works for reboots like well up to now it does.

[rutters]

What's this test fix mate?

[50pounds]

its an old copy of hax mate ill paste it in when i get home from work. and paste the readme.

[50pounds]

Ok this is the readme from that test fix of haxoware i have put on and seems to work brill atm.

File name is called "test_fix_v0.4b_2MB_VM_Haxorware_1.1r31" do a google serach and is on there

readme below and before people say I know its old but it does seem to work better for me than that new one that is out.

Version 0.4b of the 'test fix':
For Haxorware 1.1r31 and its current connectivity issues with Virgin Media Ambit 250 modems
 
I have Fitz’s permission to release the newest installment of the test fix; he says he won't be making any further releases.
If your modem is working...don't flash this file...wait till it goes down...if it ain't broke :)
 
Changes:
VM now implement a SNMP query after registration. If your modem fails to respond to this correctly, the connection drops. This query pulls the sysDescr and tftp config filename off your modem.
It is currently not known what validation checks are performed on these strings at VM's end, but spoofing the values to that of a subbed modem seems to work.
For this reason, a new approach to 'stealth' has been used - leaving SNMP enabled on the stock ports, but configuring it to respond correctly.
Firmware updates are enabled, but current FW spoofed to latest stock FW values, to prevent update actually taking place.
Other methods from v0.3 have been retained.
Reverted to 'stock' ds-cal tables after some problems getting DS lock in ex-CW areas, when using the region-specific tables.
Using region specific cal tables from the nv of a stock modem does bump reported DS power by a couple of dBmV, so may be useful if your signal is marginal.
A new bootloader had been installed, which spoofs the bootloader revision of the newest stock FW. The bootloader is the product of some excellent work by ImH of underground-modems.com
All credit for the BL is to go to ImH.
 
Mods compared to 'stock' Haxorware:
BPI certificates + keys from an old sub are in place
n/d/enable bpi23 false - Secure software download disabled to prevent CVC errors
n/s - Spoofing to copy values reported by a subbed A250, including:
sysName
docsDevSwOperStatus
docsDevSwFilename
docsDevSwServer
Haxor GUI:
Stealth page configured with correct spoof values...which copy across to:
 n/s: vendor_name, docsDevSwCurrentVers
 SNMP: model
Settings page - all crappy 'stealth' settings disabled.
Baseline Privacy page - BPI (Docsis 1.0) enabled.
n/bpi - code_access and cvc_access match stock FW
n/M - cmStandbyCapable - Set to enabled, to allow 'standby switch' to operate
n/hw_rev - set as close to stock 1.19 as possible - currently 1019
 
The sysDescr string now has this content:
<<HW_REV: 1019; VENDOR: AMBIT; BOOTR: 3164; SW_REV: 2.94.1015; MODEL: E08C007>>
Which I think you'll agree, although not perfect, is a vast improvement over the 'stock' Haxorware string.
 
 
Instructions:
Follow any good guide on the subject of flashing firmware via max232, ensuring you store this dump starting at 'sector 0'. Store parameters to flash? No.
No, you cannot flash a 2mb dump via TCP/IP telnet, or the WebGUI.
You do not need to return to stock FW before flashing this dump.
You do not need to mess with the bootloader after flashing this dump - everything, including BL, dyn and perm non-vol is contained within the single 2mb file.
Things that 'go without saying', but haven't in some cases:
 Don't try to flash the zip file itself to your modem.
 Don't try to open the bin file (unless you're doing it for a reason that is...).
 
In previous releases, it came to light some of you didn't know how to enter your enet + usb macs and serials properly.
USB MAC = HFC MAC - 1 (in HEX).
Enet MAC = HFC MAC + 6 (in HEX).
Serial = HFC MAC without the ':'s
you MUST perform the MAC and serial step properly, or your connection will still drop.
If you don't know how to do arithmetic in Hexadecimal...start googling.
#It's best to change your NIC MAC at the same time as modem MAC.#
 
This file is intended for use with 250 MAC's and configs, as that’s what the spoof values are set up for.
DO NOT use any other MACS with this flash...it fucks up the non-vol (docsDevSwFilename + docsDevSwOperStatus).
 
Config forcing works for some areas, not for others (especially dynamic config areas).
Leave the modem running unforced long enough to decide whether it's stable before you try forcing.
Some areas now implement Docsis 1.1 / BPI+. If you use a MAC from one of these areas, which has been provisioned with a BPI+ config file, you will need to force a BPI config file before it will connect reliably.
At the time of writing, configs are in this format:
cmreg-ntlhm250-rts*-b.cm BPI+ / Docsis 1.1
cmreg-ntlhm250-rts*-nb.cm BPI / Docsis 1.0
cmreg-ntlhm250-rts*.cm  Could be either, but usually BPI / Docsis 1.0, on a UBR not yet updated.
 
In my area (pure / BPI+ / static configs) I can use rts98 macs unforced without problems.
Using *bas* or *rts22* MACS requires the *-nb.cm variant of the config to be forced.
On my UBR cmreg-ntlhm250-rts22-nb.cm works a treat.
The frequencies for 'pure' are already present in the flash, other area frequencies will need to be entered as required.
 
Modem compatibility: You can flash this directly onto Ambit 250 + 255, 2100*, 5101* and 5101e* modems.
* = If installed flash chip is compatible with Haxorware. 
#Auth details for WebGUI / Telnet: admin admin .#
You should change these to personalized values.

Hopefully this will work for you - it does for me + the testers so far.
 
Mr. Branson: EAT IT xox.
 
Please don't PM me on the forums asking for a 'step-by-step' guide FOR ANYTHING, I won't help.
Sorry but there’s plenty of info on this, I’m not trying to make an 'all in one' here.
Of course, credit to Rajkosto for the Haxorware firmware itself, which remains unmodified in this dump.
Only the non-vol + GUI configuration has been changed.
All credit for the bootloader in this dump goes to ImH of underground-modems.com
 
I have left the title of this file a 'Test Fix' until feedback is received on this version.
 
All feedback to be posted on the forums at underground-modems.com please. Try to keep your insults at least partially constructive ;)

I'e been having the same problem, my TV and net gos down and my coax line is dead like VM have cut me off then it will be working a few hours later.. just started happening this week.

Not sure how they could do that without disconnecting me from the box guess they might have more power over individual users now if they do then that could be damaging to anyone that's using hacked modems.

I thought it could be faulty services or something on VM's end but my friends vm was working fine next door.

thing is mate it only seems to not lock on a modded modem it works perfect on a normal modem.

just seems kinder scary tbh.

also now i have try some macs got online and it stays on for like 5mins then i get the sync light flashing and then send light and the usb and then no internet i think in my eyes from what im seeing VM have cracked the modems and also the tele so it looks like people will have to start parting with there cash.
