I could use a BlackCat cable method, but I don't feel like prying it open, soldering the header, buying the BC cable, and getting the software. It's too much trouble for this modem.

I have a SB4100. I've tried all the basics, including EB.
 
hmmm.....if unbricking dont work i have a SB5100 i could trade you
 
i was think maybe you had something you wanted to trade that worked :)

Lmao, I kinda figured that. I was kind of curious to see if that's what you meant, though. I was going to ask why...

Well, I have a DSL Duplex I can trade you, if you like? Can be mod'd for other services.
 
im not sure what that even does TBH...:)

It's all good. Everyone has to learn at some point, right? :)

It's a DSL Modem/Switch/Router w/ Wireless b & g. I do believe it can be used as a regular switch, too.
 
what happened to where the modem ended up bricked?

Huh? I think you're confusing the duplex with the modem I was describing in the OP. Am I right? Or are you asking how I bricked the cable modem?
 
how did u brick the modem

Oh, funny story. It's not really bricked, per say. It just refuses commands from Ethernet. I flashed it. It worked great, until I rebooted it. Now, it just refuses to allow me back in :(.
 
so maybe you could use the USB connection and flash back?

USB drivers don't work for x64. Trust me when I say I've tried everything. :laugh:

I don't even know if that would be possible.
 
so you dont have anything other than the dsl thing for trade?
 
Well, I have other hardware, but nothing that would justify a trade for a modem. I do have a nForce4 SLI LGA775 board from Gigabyte. But to trade for just a modem would be a bit off.
