NYC/DirecTV Broadband Gateway reprogramming in DirecTV DSL http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r5467797 en Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:13:19 EDT Wed, 09 Dec 2009 21:13:19 EDT DTV flash things http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6653857 Yakup :
quote:
Jtag software that allows you to dump or program flash chips. This should work with just about any device that uses an ST-20 based processor. (sti-5500, sti5505, sti5510, ect)
This version has serial eeprom programming capability, and fully supports the intel 28F320 flash type.

there is a jtaj programmer for intel whatsoever flash chips
I think DTV found those flash things very cheap and put them in everything they built.

It looks (at 1st blush) that the ADSL interface runs straight to an ADC, soooo.....

Here's what I'm thinking... Erase the flash (it should include a simple OS), compile linux to ARM, & see if I can burn it into the flash... Just the basic kernel, mind you, with USB support. Put on a USB drive, a USB keyboard, a USB mouse, and I have a nifty little machine to do stuff on.

I believe I have an idea about the algorithm used to generate the password, it depends on phone number and the IP address (and quite possibly only phone number).

If you knew your modem's password, I would appreciate a "IM" with your old IP,Phone,and password, and I might be able to find out the algorithm used to generate password.

I have discovered ( I think ) that the X202 is based on the Alcatel Dynamite Chipset ( as it is labeled on the chip). that did not help me much except that a similar chipset is on the Alcatel A1000. I downloaded the user guide to this and the CLI guide. It seems similar to what I have experienced with the X202. The CLI (Command Line Interface) is of particular interest to me. Also, there is a guy out there that says the 9 Pin Mini-Din can be used for a serial connection. He says it is a Mac style null modem situation. So you have to hack the cable a little. He goes through a process to obtain the password. Unfortunately I think he talking about the X101 or X301(?) because my modem does not have that port.

The next thing I learned was that the modem is running WindWeb 1.1 So I went to their web site: www.windriver.com I found that WindWeb runs on top of vxWorks. Wind River sells the development tools. Apparently one of the ports on the x202 is a debug port, I think this can loosely translate to rs232. I have tried to use this as a serial connection with no luck. I used the Mac to Db9 pinout with no luck.

Within that is the vital IP info necessary.

If this data can be loaded onto the flash memory, and modified to reflect the new ISP info, then it shouldnt be hard to have a /24 on the WAN side and a private IP block on the LAN side.

Perhaps your best bet is to negotiate with DirecTV for the rights to the info .. then either buy up all the modems or provide a service to those that have them and want to re-use them.

These could, technically-speaking, all be just as powerful and flexible as your standard home-office routers. They could have requested them all back and sold them to a 3rd party for re-programming and resale. But really, most of these Gateways have been used by at least 2 customers during their life-span.

On X1, the "Terminal" _is_ a serial port. (Wired with Mac standard pinout, just buy a "mac-to-serial" cable and you are good to go).

On X2, could be, but I don't have any X2s to play with just yet.

Point of note: You only need 3 pins to drive RS-232 minimally without handshaking (ground, txd,rxd). And X1 doesn't use handshaking.

My wife called the yesterday, and FedEx was waiting at the door with a pickup label from DirecTV DSL for an item worth $500.

I told her to send the FedEx guy away, since DTV didn't have the courtesy to let me know they were sending someone.

What a bunch of jerks, they just send out pickup labels without notifying anyone.

More importantly, the earlier posts saying they didn't want their stuff back appear to be in error. I have the original brick, circa 1/2000.

On another note, I checked my Discover online statement and saw that DTV charged me for another month of service on 1/03. I distinctly remember (and have the paperwork to prove it) that they pre-billed every month. Problem is... they shut off my service right before Christmas. The way I see it, they owe me about $12.

I tried to call them, but they will not take calls. I tried to click customer service, but it takes me to a login screen, and my old authentication information doesn't work.

I disputed the charge with Discover.

What was a bit different with DTV is that they do this on RFC1483 bridged service, not routed service. That is to say, you can yank out their gateway, replace it with a bridge, and the result can be used to recover and use all four of the /30 IPs as well as the LAN IP if it's public.

Another thing to consider is if the modem side can be set to bridge mode without re-flashing the firmware. Currently the gateway gets one IP on the WAN side, then a .252 on the LAN side. In my case both sets are routable. I think they are/were the only ISP to do this.

This is how I look at it: The reason someone might want to give you one is so that you can learn to reprogram the modems in general, thus giving them value after DirecTV folds. A fine goal. But if you succeed, then everyone who kept their modems gets the benefit, while those who donated lose it! Meanwhile, those who don't care whether the project succeeds or not -- and thus don't care if they get their modems back -- won't bother donating, because it's too much effort.

I think you'd get a better response if you promised to return the modems after testing. You probably can't guarantee you'll return them in working order, but that's OK. You can even ask people to include return postage when they send the modem if they want it back. I suspect that would work better than the $30 bounty.

All you got was the admin password for your modem, and the URL to the Admin functions page.

That allows you do do a few things such as switch the routed interface back and forth between USB, ethernet, or parallel (if your modem has that port), reboot the modem, and clear and re-download the configuration.

Unless you're in VerizonEast (formerly BellAtlantic, not GTE) or Ameritech territory (and not going through WorldCom), the gateway will actually send out a DHCP request the first time it is powered up with no configuration, and get its IP (the IP for the WAN interface, which we call the "DSLIP", pronounced "D-slip"). It also gets the LAN subnet information, via a vendor-specific option in the DHCP protocol. Apparently the Nortel Shasta router figures out where the DHCP request is coming from (based on VPI/VCI/slot/port) and adds that information to the DHCP query before passing the query on to the DHCP server. The DHCP server is able to use that information to find your account and assign the gateway the correct IP information, but the gateway won't use this for routing until the configuration is downloaded.

Ameritech uses PPPoE which works completely differently, and VerizonEast uses aggregate routing so the Shasta can't figure out who you are until you enter your phone number (that's why you get a blinking red status light - that indicates a DHCP failure). When you enter the DSL#, that is added to the DHCP request, and the request is sent again. Once the gateway has the DSL# and IP information (from DHCP), it does the HTTP download to get its configuration, and never does a DHCP request again.

The tricky part about what you're thinking of is, the DHCP request and HTTP download happen on the WAN interface, meaning the DHCP and HTTP servers have to be on the other side of a DSL connection. I've heard it's possible to get two DSL modems to sync to each other on a dry copper pair, meaning you could get a standard DSL modem acting as an Ethernet bridge, and connect it to the DirecTV DSL gateway via a phone line, but I don't know if this actually works.

I hope this information is helpful!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5472378 Sun, 29 Dec 2002 12:59:51 EDT Re: NYC/DirecTV Broadband Gateway reprogramming http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5470380 apilosov : Much simpler.

When you boot it up with a serial port attached to it and a paper clip in a "reboot" position, it dumps all configuration traffic in/out, which should make it possible to create a new "configuration server" to imitate DTV.

That could make something happen:-P ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5468651 Sat, 28 Dec 2002 23:24:16 EDT NYC/DirecTV Broadband Gateway reprogramming http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5467797 apilosov : I'm trying to develop instructions for reprogramming Telocity/DirecTV modem for "any provider". I already have a few ideas, but need access to more modems to confirm that it works.

If you are in NYC area, and don't mind donating your modem to science (I will pick it up but I won't issue you a receipt ;)), get back to alex@pilosoft.com

Also, if there are any DTV DSL customers with still-working service, I'd like to test a few things on your working modem, preferably on Sunday.

Please get back to me if you'd like to help, and let me know what kind of modem do you have ("brick"/X1/X2), and whether do you still have DTV DSL service.

I promise to share results here, if successful.

Thanks,
