i need help somehow my blackcat programmer flashed my SB5101 wrong. i have no clue why i cant detect the flash anymore... :( and i dont know how ot unbrick it using the blackcat usb. im not a newb at modem flashing ive flashed tons of them. just been having issues with this one for some reason.
 
I have always found it hard to brick a SB5101 , no matter what i do i can always get a flash detection. When you power the modem on do you see the LED's power up and then go off ? Also what does it show in the console window when you have the device connected ?
 
yeah the lights go on then turn off the nothing lights up an on blackcat software it shows the programmer but it says error detecting flash or something.
 
I know there use to be aFixFlash() command in the script engine , but i am not sure if that has been removed , i will ask the developer on this , if it is still implemented , it should restore your bootloader so you can re-flash the device , that is if the device itself it not totally bricked.
 
its ok i fixed it damn i cant believe the whole time i had the damn programmer connected wrong and for some weird reason it didnt work on this laptop im on i had to use my other laptop to flash it right.
 
it kept flashing wrong with this laptop as soon as i plugged it in to my other laptop and flashed it it flashed fine. thanks sorry such a damn newb mistake.
