May I ask why you are trying to download the .img file? It's unnecessary in the recovery of the modem, besides, the img file doesn't get corrupt, it's the modem's NVRAM. I saw in an another post that you were looking for the .img file, but it won't do anything for you. If your trying to fix your modem, just follow the steps above. They work. |

| Sorry, it wasn't you looking for the .img file. I apologise, that poster had a similar name.
Once you are in the boot> menu, there are some letters that, when typed, will run some commands. The X key, as you found out, will try to download the .img file. Press the H key at the prompt and you will see a short menu of options. At which point are you trying to get to? Perhaps I can help you out. |

| before i was just curios about where to get the IMG file...
That screens apears in my terminal without pressing any key.... all the time... I dont know what to do...anymore
Some times modem just enter in a loop gotta 3e.....
Any clue? |
|
| Try following these steps once you see the boot> prompts.
When you see this:
boot> gotta
Hold down the shift key and press the plus/equals key.
You should receive a message stating:
Whacking NVRAM...
AT the next boot> prompt, press the R key.
The screen should start loading through, and you should be prompted for the MAC address. Type the MAC address of the modem (without any dashes or colons) and press Enter.
The modem should work after you do this. Let us know. |
