Sbhacker Cable Modems at PLUG HackFest RoundUp

[Lisa Kachold]

SBHacker Surfboard 5100/5101 RoundUp Report:

With a great deal of "can-do attitude" from Kaia Taylor, hardware expertise from Brad Blanette, and equipment provided by Don (not his real name), our HackFesters were able to work with three modems:

0) Kaia Taylor 5100 {successfully added Lite Version haxorware}

1) Don's 5101 {successfully flashed but appearing with error (see below)}

2) Don's 5100 (no JTAG)

I worked more with #1 Motorola Surfboard 5101, reflashed it with diag version from here:
http://www.haxorware.com/

It says:
Error: No CFG area Found!

Assumption:  Bricked or memory toasted Cable Modem.
Action: Get $newer model that works before I attempt to flash it?

We will be continuing the Sbhacker games next Saturday at Noon [now that we know how to do it more or less] over at Gangplankhq.com, so bring your cable modems!

I have one of those if anyone wants it. (Replaced due to connection
getting flaky; not really sure if it was the modem's fault or not)
