here's the pic you're asking for.
Can you tell me the numbers of the 48 pin SMT chip on the back of the board
and can you take a clearer picture of the front and back of the board in high resolution so it can be blown up with clarity and post them to a Dropbox and give me the link i will tell you what you will need to read the chip

where is spi flash then ?
there is no longer a SPI Flash,all the new modems are nand flash only. and they have Bad blocks to prevent it from being copied so far.
I don't need to copy the firmware, only flash to the NAND. How do I do that? I can compile the firmware from ARRIS, they released it! It's open source, documented link in My first post.
I'm looking into modding & compiling the firmware now. I have an SoC(Jetson TK1) if needed. I should be able to flash to NAND, skipping bad blocks, and the modem will run the My custom firmware just fine. Sounds perfect to Me.
We need some one with coding experience to write a piece of software that can handle the remapping of the bad blocks so we can read the nand correctly just like the guys did for the XBOX so there is hope out there
