Re: Unlocking Bell 2Wire modems....

said by mlerner:

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.
i believe the firmware in mine is generic. How can i tell?

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:

DSL Modem:  7.1.9
system: 61861
base_ui: 61862
common_en: 61864
base_voice: 61863
sbc_config: 61898
sbc_logo: 61899
sbc_en: 61900
sbc: 61901
sbc_providerconf: 61902
Firewall Rules: 1000
Application List: 1001
IGMP Proxy: Disabled
IGMP Snooping: Enabled
 

It should not show SBC or any provider. Take a screenshot if you can.

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

Just out of curiosity, where did you obtain that modem?
