| joebunda Tl Posts: 6 USA | Posted - 10/6/2001 10:47:21 AM    Recently, I posted a topic "Flashed sportster still connect <56k" and in that post I was having trouble with a sportster 33.6 that I flashed up tp 56k.... Now, I have flashed several sportsters. A couple of them were sold by usr and one or two oem's by Gateway. All of the flash upgrades that I performed went well until this last attempt... I flashed this latest modem with the flash utilities from the russian site : http://flasher.webzone.ru/index.html and I flashed a previous sportster with the utilities from there as well. Both modems flashed and the first one connected at 52k after a reboot. The 2nd one however would not connect at a rate above 312000. I even attempted various strings to set a connection above 41k - the modem would dial out with the strings, handshake and then 1/2 way through a very high pitched and steady screech would occur - lasted about 5 seconds and then I would recieve a response that modem was unable to connect at this time.... I removed the commands and bingo -connection @ 31.2k I flashed the modem back to a 33.6 and then I recalled a previous post http://forum56.com/topic.asp?topic_id=3020&forum_id=7&Topic_Title=Sportster+0460&forum_title=USR&M=True&S=True I went to the micron pc suppot site and downloaded a flash utility from them... Ran it and went from 33.6 - 56k as listed in "modems" in control panel... I rebooted and the modem was listed as a serial mouse... Then I removed modem/drivers shut down and reinstalled and bingo, I had a 56k int modem that connected at 52k.
I have never had this happen before as I have flashed a number of these modems...

| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 11/1/2001 2:40:44 AM  Your post seems to mean you had success with the Russian flash from 33.6 to V.90. I've been trying it, but even though I get the appropriate flash file, it won't do anything, because it says I have the wrong model number. Since mine is a 33.6, it has the model number appropriate to that - 00083909 (Model 0701), but the flash file is naturally for the corresponding V.90 model number. Am I missing something? |
| Bob Starnes Tl Posts: 4360 USA | Posted - 11/1/2001 1:37:18 PM The modem must be upgraded to X2 first, then to V.90 |
| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 11/1/2001 3:58:52 PM Unfortunately, the Flasher doesn't have an X2 file for this modem: http://flasher.webzone.ru/smf.html In his FAQ, he claims it's not necessary. I would think that you might not be able to upgrade to X2 first, anyway, because you could still run into the ID mismatch. What would happen if I altered the product ID that appears at the beginning of the update file? |
| Bob Starnes Tl Posts: 4360 USA | Posted - 11/1/2001 9:32:19 PM Probably turn the modem into a doorstop. |
| pauldog Tl Posts: 231 USA | Posted - 11/3/2001 10:10:50 AM That's why I haven't done it yet. And since I was using Word Pad, the size of the modified file changed, so I tossed it out.
