1. Apply serial(max 232 lead) and Ethernet connection between your PC and the modem
2. Set your PC IP parameters to:
IP: 192.168.100.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.100.1
3. Power on the modem and wait for it to startup (10 secs)
4. Open the exploit application and hit “Execute Exploit”
5. If it says its successful, then the console is now ready to accept connections!
If it fails, power cycle the modem and try the application again.
At this point, if you want to restore your bootloader to the original 2.1.6d that has the re-flashing menu etc,
you need a copy of SoftJTAG and the 2.1.6d bootloader.
**BE CAREFUL WHEN USING SOFTJTAG - As you can brick your modem if your not careful**
1. Open SoftJTAG,3.10 and connect via your serial port.
2. On the right hand side, click on “Write Bootloader” and select the 2.1.6d bootloader file
3. Wait till its done (this takes 10 – 15 minutes). Once it’s done, close SoftJTAG
4. Start HyperTerminal/TeraTerm and connect to your serial port
5. Reset the modem
Upon resetting the modem, you will now be given the option to stop at P as it is now booting with the 2.1.6d bootloader.
You MUST press the button and stop then, as if you miss it and let it fully boot, your bootloader will be over-written again
with the 3.1.6d, in which case you will have to repeat these steps again and be quicker not to miss it next time.
If you are successful in entering the menu, you can now re-flash or whatever you wish to do with your modem from this menu!
software required :
console unlocker (exploit)v1.1b
softjtag v3.10
2.1.6d bootloader file
