Scientific Atlanta WebSTAR DPX2203 Flashing with HAXORWARE 1.0rc4 + battery support works
Updated : OCT 30 2008



After i flashed the unit and got it working and all i did a backup of the 2MB FLASH i have included that maybe you can just flash that instead of the few steps that i had to do. i will post 2 methods the first method is the way i did it and thought it was a bad idea at first but it worked with out a problem beware

Stuff needed
RS232
tftp software

METHOD #1 - beware -

connect rs232 to unit same as all webstar units
connect cat5 to unit set nic to 192.168.100.10 and gateway to 192.168.100.1
open tftp software make sure its set to 192.168.100.10 your ip
open up hypertermial set it up to : bits per sec : 115200 / data bits : 8 / parity : None / stop Bits : 1 / flow control : None
start the call
power on the modem
you will see press 1 , 2 or P
press P
Board IP Address : 192.168.100.11
IP Mask : Press enter
IP Gateway : 192.168.100.1
Board MAC : Press enter
Internal/External phy : Press enter

After that u will be prompted with the following menu
-=- MAIN MENU -=-
d - Download and Save
g - Download and Run
c - Store ICEPROM Bootloader to Flash
b - Boot from flash
s - Store Bootloader to Flash
r - Read memory
w - Write memory

press D <--- flash
another window will come up
press 0 <---- BOOTLOADER
Board TFTP Server IP : 192.168.100.10
Filename : (your bin) 2MB FILE : ambit_haxorware_method1.bin
a message will come up
NO STANDARD HEADER DO YOU WISH TO STORE : YES
Enter sector : 0
Store Parameters : Y

Go back to the main menu and select

press D <--- Flash
press 0 <---- BOOTLOADER
same info as before
Bootloader.bin


after its done reboot the modem
modem is flashed do a default factory reboot and set up the modem
after your done you will see the lights are totally wrong and only 3 come on ( PC = RECEIVE LIGHT )


Method #2
This is the 2MB FILE that i pulled off the unit maybe its wise to flash this instead of doing the METHOD #1 i dont know will test on another unit next time
haxorware_webstar_dpx2203_fulldump.bin



What the firmware needs maybe some day in the near who knows if some one will care about this besides me
(1) battery status page = found on this modem and also on the 5120
(2) sip info = great to be able to use the 2 phone ports for sip providers

other then that its a great firmware and runs solid on this modem.


i think you should not flash over the bootloader but maybe flash at the correct section of the flash i pulled this off the modem after i telnet in
i belive you should choose option 3 when it ask you if you where to start flashing and tell it : offset : 65536 and then you would not have to re flash the bootloader
