Re: Bell Speedstream 4200 unlock/flash questions
Thanks for that-it worked. Just what the "Dr." ordered.
A couple of follow-up questions. Will this config. stick after a factory defaults reset? I'm guessing not...
Second, Can Bell upgrade the firmware now? I've called, and was told they no longer try to update 4200 modems online,
but I just assumed they could be wrong/lying and that it was automated and could still happen.
Anyone know?

1 edit | First Answer is Yes it loses the changes after a reset, of course. Save the instructions to your HDD or print out to file away.
Second Answer, I Don't Know. However, you can simply disable that ability (that stops them dead) by stopping the CWMP agent.

| said by Harleyguy :The document I have says "There is no firmware upgrade available for the 4200 " Does not mean that a future release might become available and delivered over night using the enabled by default CWMP agent.
Note: Don't know what document that you have, but I do know there are two 4200 designs (early revision D240 and later revision D242) and each uses a different Firmware that isn't swappable between versions.
Sympatico updated one of their 4200s at least 3 times with the CWMP agent and that shows there were different Bell Canada/Sympatico specific 4200 Firmwares at one time.
