Help to program 6120 Beta Firmware

[kenkali]

Thanks for the video mate. I don't see you uploading the config.. what's the best way to do it? Thanks

I read one post said that serial port program will be "faster" than NT. Do you think that is even possible?
The max speed of serial is 115 kbps which translate to about 12KB/s. USB JTAG NT can do about 250KB/s programming. Read speed at 900KB/s. I really do not know how that post can be true. But if you say you need only once open the modem and program the "noisy bootloader" then you can the close the box, that is true. But speed will not be of any issue here. If you already use NT to program the bootloader, there is no point to use serial to program the image0 while you still have NT connected.

you issue commands via serial and the bootloader downloads the firmware over ethernet and flashes itself. and you cant really brick the modem once uboot has been flashed, you only program the firmware, uboot is never touched.

well that looks easy. Thanks usbbdm. So how about changing mac and turning off firmware updates and uploading config. I'm guessing its not like haxoware where we can do those things from the gui page. We still need serial for that i'm guessing and do it the way retard123 did in his video?

changing mac wont work the modem will not get online

btw it doesn't matter what cm file I load 6120 - 5101 still get the same speed

Seems I have to do a lot of work to figure out what the other guys are doing with the 160mb dl

(spoofed cert?)

what is your last 3 numbers of your mac let me guess (00:XX:XX:2c:87:0f)

Mine is online. I changed the mac, there is very little security with my providor. Thanks to usbbdm, retard123 and all of you guys. It made the job nice and easy with the videos. And of course thanks to all at sbh for the firmware and how to's and extra help they gave me.

Let me rephrase that as questions

Mine is online. I changed the mac, there is very little security with my providor

I was able to get online after flashing the new firmware with no need to change mac.

What provider?
Did you have to change your mac to get online?
How many Octets did you change?
Does it matter what cm file you load - speed change?
Your speed?

I'm online as you can see but I'm trying learn the new firmware.
I appreciate you response to my questions.

yes
I'm not sure, I changed the whole mac but maybe the first 4#'s were the same
no it doesn't matter. I have 2 6120 modems one has 0pen_30.cm and one have open)new30.cm seems to be same speed.
anywhere from 40mbits/s to 76mbits/s down and 1.9mbits up.

how about you what provider?

I get about 60mbits down 8mbits up regardless what cm I use.
Even tried a d10 & 11 sb5101 without any change in speed.

Just did the flash and plugged it in. online

Did you use the bpi disabled?

not complaining but curious about some 160 d/l speeds I see.

I don't d/l much just tweaking (breaking and fixing over again)

not much else to do - semi retired
should install the new kitchen cabinets I guess - but this is more fun!

How do you change the config Files On this Modem? After doing the image0 $ Image1 The 192.168.100.1 Page is the same as before with no option to change anything.

Yes there is no gui its beta firmware. You need to use putty and filezillas ftp server. I would copy and paste a how to from jsalz that I followed but sbh seems to be down right now and I canrt remember the commands myself.
