Re: I was able to access OPENLOCK and OPENMEP on MR6500 on 12.xx firmware.

The firmware flashes the software part of the UI/Linux OS, possibly some parts of the modem, but nothing related to enabling disabled bands on the 6500 and other models with only select bands enabled. I have not attempted to enable any bands as my primary goal was to be able to unlock the device, c...

I was able to access OPENLOCK and OPENMEP on MR6500 on 12.xx firmware.

A few months ago I bought a used MR6500 PRO (AT&T) online and was sad to see that it was on 12.xx firmware. I should have done my homework beforehand as I assumed they should all be moddable. I know Rich provides a valuable service in unlocking these but I wanted to see if I could exhaust all op...

@Rich Hathaway

Just picked up an MR6500 and unfortunately it’s on the 12.0.x firmware. I am patiently waiting to see your work on the MR6550 firmware but I am worried I will never be able to reflash my firmware. In your opinion, is it inevitable that one day 12.0.x owners can reflash their MR6500?
