Netgear 490

To andym, I say, even on sbh, they were completely wrong, just as they were on usbjtag.. believe it or not, you DID make a succesfull dump. And to show how much they know, ask them about 'layering' firmware images..

See, pin 8 we used to use, and it is here we see where you thought you fucked up.. I believe ubfi1 + 2 are INTENTIONALLY left blank, in order for the pin 7 to load ubfi1 + 2 into the bank at pin 8. If this does not happen, modem will not boot. This is the 'new' netgear security.. modem IS run from pin 8, pin 7 being the scource at bootime of what goes into ubfi1+2.

I'll even go as far as say, that it's a puma 5 modem, running ecos. at least in the pin 8 bank.. because I booted using a 280, 480, and ubee, not to mention 6120 and 6141 bootloader's, boot is fine, but no matter what I change, unless I return it to stock, boot is halted, even when crc of either image is fine..

So right now, I have a dedicated worktop with a 485 hooked up awaiting that magic moment when the so called guru's chip in.. or someone throws a working console from mickmc68's post..

What's the bet, in supabooms, is the old netgear bug 'remote server only allows single user access' (if telnet, console, and web gui, are all active at same time) has been set so that if telnet/serial is accessed, gui is switched off, and may even be extended to - if pin 7 bank dont match pin 8 bank.. cant be done, see, pin 8 now only shows u-boot, and env1+2, env1+2 DONT match env1+2 in pin 7 flash..

NOw would be a good time for senior dev's to look into that mickmc68's file, because your gona wanna, knowing that all security from here is spread to the four wind's.. Wink

Oh, and there are 3 flash banks, we can only see pin 7 and pin 8, boot log shows another Wink
