For some reason I messed up the backup steps for my SB6141 HWv7 and now I can't get it running. I do have a SB6141 HWv8 modem and its original firmware but I heard that they are not compatible.
Does anyone have a full firmware dump for the SB6141? With and without forceware. I want to learn on how to do this.
Thanks

What is this v7 and v8?
AFAIK there’s only REV3 and REV4 PCB.

You can see this version in the "Help" page of the modem.

In my experience hardware v8 has a different PGA MAX3518, and v7 and under uses MT1570... Going by the version here is more reliable than the REV on the PCB, because I have seen REV4 with hardware v7 in the GUI and still using MT1570

how can you tell the HW version of a 6141 if it currently doesn't have stock firmware? will flashing any old 6141 backup onto it let you see the help page and the info from THAT modem?
