That is because these factory packed firms (spk/cwe) do not write all parts, especially the parts you need it to. and some of them it only writes generic or non specific values, such as parts of the efs, userrw, cust and hdata. you can see my screenshot to compare the devices partitions and the unp...

It's not, actually. The Telus model is there (1TLAUS), but not 1A1NAS. And there is no search on that folder.
TLAUS is Telstra (Australia), NOT Telus.

Re: MR6550 full firmware ported over to mr6500- anyone want to beta test it ???

If you're running them off AC power, have you tried removing the batteries in them? Some of the MR series overheat when the batteries are left in, but less so when they're removed. I don't know if that applies to the 6500 series, but it would be an easy thing to test.

Re: Anyone interested in photos of internals of MR2100 (M2)?

I would love to, if I had a working router. Unfortunately, mine doesn't finish booting. It flashes the LED red, which as I understand it, is a known firmware bug, or possibly a hardware bug. Netgear's docs aren't terribly clear on this.

Re: Anyone interested in photos of internals of MR2100 (M2)?

Hmm...okay.

Talk to me like I"m five.

I'm not clear, you want me to connect the pads to an oscilloscope WHILE a USB-Serial adapter is connected at the same time?

And, you want me to connect this to my PC via USB? Separately? At the same time? Spell it out for me, Renate.

Re: Anyone interested in photos of internals of MR2100 (M2)?

Dances for me? Please clarify.

Sorry, how will I know if VID/PID change? You're talking about viewing through a USB-serial adapter or some other way? This is largely above my pay grade.

Thanks, Renate. Measurements on the big 4, as you put it were (assuming I measured right): 0V, 5.01V, 1.8V, GND Can you be more specific about what you mean by shorting between them using a resistor? Which pins, or does it matter? What would I expect/hope to see while shorting them while doing a pow...

Next are some photos of the main PCB, with the cans still intact. I was reluctant to remove them, as they appear to be glued on.

Re: Anyone interested in photos of internals of MR2100 (M2)?

Okay...well no one requested them, but since there were already 62 page views, I'm guessing someone must be interested. This is the MR2100-100EUS (EU) model. Some of these shots were very difficult to get in focus, since the case is smooth plastic. Also, some of the components have a protective laye...

Anyone interested in photos of internals of MR2100 (M2)?

Is anyone interested in seeing photos of the internals of the Netgear MR2100 (M2)?

Note: This particular device does not complete the boot process.

Re: Creating full clone of MR1100 flash, BUT crashing router grabbing 2 pieces, any geniuses out there?

After some initial obstacles/hassles, I uploaded all the files to this person that he requested. I then asked an extremely simple question (simple, as in, requires zero work, 5 seconds to answer) and never got a reply. So this person came across to me as selfish. I wouldn't help him again.

Re: IMEI Repair for MR5200

Yeah, but who on earth has the firmware files on disk? I've done a fair amount of reading, and never heard of anyone that has it. If you come across it, please let us know (if you're willing).

Netgear has become very secretive about their firmware starting with the MR2100.

Re: Nighthawk MR1100 in Bootloop

Rich:

How reliable a process is reflashing an MR1100 with firmware this way? Does it ever fail? Does it matter which firmware is currently on the machine? I'm guessing not, since it isn't fully loading to do the flash?

I suggest you take a look at the forums for usbmodeswitch. They know a lot over there about getting LTE dongles to work in Linux.

Those appeared after I installed drivers for another Netgear device. I guess they don't mean what I thought they meant. Thanks.
