Many 200 Mb/s powerline adapters nowadays are based on the INTELLON 6300 chipset. Despite what can be thought looking at them, they are all using the same hardware and firmwares. I heard many people with Netgear XAV101 or Linksys PLK 200 or PLE 200 having problems after firmware updates and many other people with other brands having much more problems because of lack of support or configuration/upgrade utilities. So let me explain a few things I learnt studying them. Many of 200 Mb/s powerline ethernet adapters follow the "HomePlug AV" standard. (85 Mb adapters use HomePlug 1.0 standard which is completely different). This standard uses ethernet broadcast packets using the HomePlug AV protocol. The interesting thing is that their firmware is made of two different parts: a .PIB file (Parameter Information Block) and a .NVM file (the code itself). In the P.I.B. there are many interesting things: The branding (mac address, device name, etc) and the tone map. I test
Hi, is there any chance to recover a bricked E5832S ( was wrongly loaded with an E5832 firmware :( ) ?
ReplyDeleteThe modem still shows in the device manager with the UI com port, the update program sees it but the update fails :(.
Is there anything I can do with it anymore ?
Cheers,
Vasile
Please send me a direct email. (you should have it if you donated)
ReplyDeleteIt worked flawlessly on my Huawei E5830S. Highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteI had issues unlocking an E5832 model but Zibri replied to my email right away and I was able to do so from his help. Thanks man!
ReplyDeleteHighly recommended. I went out and bought a SIM upon getting to London and dropped it in my previously locked device and it works like a charm after adding the new profile.
ReplyDeleteI probably goofed up and didn't follow the instructions but Zibri's support was well worth the €15 donation. Initially I felt a bit worried but he/she(?) responded quickly to my email with good advice on how to proceed.
ReplyDeleteDefinately HE :)
ReplyDeleteHi,

ReplyDeleteI can't release the details now :)
