EPC2100 - no downstream lock - 1/137 - 20-07-2010 Hi all, I have Haxorware v1.1-r39-diag (tried lite version also) up and running on my EPC 2100 (bcm3349), however, I can't even get it to acquire downstream channel (it's scanning constantly...). I've tried every possible combination of annex/plan/bpi setting, manually edited correct downstream frequency (738MHz) via gui, but no luck... Modem is working correctly when restored to factory firmware. My provider is AS31042. I'd appreciate if someone could point me out on the things that I could be missing. Thank you! RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - drewmerc - 21-07-2010 need logs to understand where your going wrong RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - 1/137 - 21-07-2010 Here it is. Thanks. RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - drewmerc - 21-07-2010 wow that was useless telnet log needed RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - 1/137 - 21-07-2010 I'm not sure if this is going to help either, as I said, modem is constantly scanning for a downstream lock. Log below is only a fraction, but it just keeps repeating.. Is there any other low level log I could export? RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - drewmerc - 21-07-2010 Before you start, download and install putty: Code: http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe Method 1 is preferred in all cases, method 2 looks worse than it is lol. Method 1) Using MAX232 Remove power from the modemConnect your MAX232 adapter to the modem header and the PC. This guide assumes you're using COM1. Open Putty. Click the logging section of the settings panel. Select the following options: Session logging: All session output Click 'browse' and browse to your desktop folder. Filename: putty.txt 'Always overwrite it' Untick 'flush log file frequently' Click back onto the 'session' section of the settings panel: Connection type: Serial Serial line: COM1 Speed: 115200 Close window on exit: Never Click 'open', then plug the power into the modem. You should see the boot process and connection attempt appear. Wait for about 20s after the connection has reached the failure point, then close putty and it'll save the txt log as putty.txt on your desktop. Method 2) Using ethernet or USB (USB requires that USB drivers are correctly installed) Remove power from the modem. Set manual NIC IP 192.168.100.10. Open Putty. Click the 'session' section of the settings panel: Connection type: Telnet Host Name: 192.168.100.1 Port: 23 Close window on exit: Never Power up the modem. Wait 15 seconds, then click 'open' in putty. Enter username and password, press enter. Ignore any crap coming up in the window, it may look like you can't type but you can. May help if you just don't look at the screen Type this, pressing enter at the end of each line: cd doc up_dis cd / cd n/b auto_console 1 write Note: The lines above are correct for modems based on the BCM3349 (A250/A255/A256/SB5101/Webstar 2100). If you're using a BCM3348 modem (A200/SB5100) the line 'cd n/b' changes to 'cd n/c'. This tells the modem to halt at the console. Close putty and reboot modem using power cable. When you reboot it, it won't try to connect at first, so you have time to set putty to log all console output to txt before connecting. Open Putty. Click the logging section of the settings panel. Select the following options: Session logging: All session output Click 'browse' and browse to your desktop folder. Filename: putty.txt 'Always overwrite it' Untick 'flush log file frequently' Click back onto the 'session' section of the settings panel: Connection type: Telnet Host Name: 192.168.100.1 Port: 23 Close window on exit: Never Click 'open', enter username and password and press enter. Type 'run' and press enter. The modem will try to connect. Wait for about 20s after the connection has reached the failure point, then close putty and it'll save the txt log as putty.txt on your desktop. Once you've finished you'll need to set auto_console back to 0 in telnet, or you'll have to type 'run' every time you reboot modem. RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - 1/137 - 21-07-2010 Third time lucky... :) RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - drewmerc - 22-07-2010 wow totally underwhelmed by that so you say it works what flashed back to stock so i guess only thing to try is to extract the nonvol from the stock dump and flash that to haxor RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - peeteei - 17-08-2010 I'm having a similar problem, i have 2 modems one spare and one i use regularly. My main one is working fine , my spare one is having problems... it locks onto a downstream, ranges, gets config from dhcp server etc. The problem occurs when it parses the config file data, it's tellin my modem to switch to 331khz frequency and my modem cant lock at the downstream frequency. Any idea why this modem won't lock onto that frequency? (It has done previously but not for the passed couple of months). My other modem works fine at that frequency, they both have the same haxorware firmware and nonvol settings. Note: They're both EPC2100R2's and only one is plugged in at once never both, so im confused, could this be a problem with the hardware (defect?).. Quote:Starting Tftp of configuration file... RE: EPC2100 - no downstream lock - drewmerc - 17-08-2010 if you have dumped the nonvol from the working one to the other and it still dont lock i guess it must be an hardware issue (tho just to satisfy myself i'd do a full 2mb clone as well) |
