"If your modem is bricked, use a PJtag and use Toms Utility."
No u do not have to use it.
BlackCat USB soft has two files in it , just for debricking the modems.
One for 5100 and one for 5101 and same for the boots.
It is snap to debrick now with BC USB.
Those files are in special folder, at least in the version 220 and previous.
If you notice, I have posted the source code on the sbhax website. I already tried all that you mentioned including everybody elses suggestions on the forums, but these 2 mods I have do not want to read what I through at it.
Toms confirms the boot section okay, image0/1 writes all the way every time, reset.. yet nothing.
Yet, with all the other SB model modems I have ever used, Toms usually will work.
Leads me to believe, the TSOP or whatever controls it is messed up, even when I apply voltage to pin 12 / 2 or whatever (since I have found varying threads on textbook reset). So I wonder if that flash fix would have actually solved things for me a week ago if I had bothered to read your comment earlier. Managed to achieve the same results via other methods eventually.
So, I have BC v235 and is far better than Toms any day. I still have to fix the firmware section on the 5100 tab as sometimes it gets confused with a flash write one. Just restart BC and do it.. seems to be okay.
I am curious if your Parallel cable is the same as mine? I might be interested in getting one 2 ft with whatever you did to test out? I think 2ft should will work considering the header should be soldered to the board for direct connectivity. Let me know what you would need so I can get that older/longer one you already made.
In the meantime, does anybody have a 5100mod firm + noisy boot - 2mb dump? I will ask a friend to send me one if not.
Can we get a link posted for the best bootloader available for the 5100 please so the rest of the community can benifit? Or better yet, send to me so I can update the archive with all the BC versions ever found & hacked by me?
Thanks.
