Re: Unlocking Bell 2Wire modems....
It's most likely another ISP's firmware. The ultimate find would be the generic 2Wire firmware but as far as I know that's not available outside of the company. |

Most obvious is the logo on the web interface, if it shows the 2Wire or blank then most likely it is not ISP branded but I am uncertain whether it is always customized for the ISP. Second thing which I think would probably verify almost 100% is in the MDC under Components, on mine it shows the following:
It should not show SBC or any provider. Take a screenshot if you can. |

At first I thought it was Generic. After all the name of it is "2wire_reinstall_voice_5.29.117.3.2sp" but after install, the "Singtel" logo is showing on the interface. |

Here's some info from what I believe is a generic 2wire:
Also the detailed log will show if the 2wire is customized for a provider, messages during bootup will have the info:
INF P0000-00-00T00:00:34 pkg: extracted ui/base_ui
INF P0000-00-00T00:00:34 pkg: extracted provider/2wire
INF P0000-00-00T00:00:34 pkg: note: provider/2wire has no uninstall script
INF P0000-00-00T00:00:36 pkg: extracted lang/2wire_es |
