I may have bricked my sb5100

THANKS FOR RESPONDING.

Re SBH: I've been a member of that darn site for a few months now since I forgot my pass to my old account as well as the email associated with it, and I ' don't have permission' to download ANYTHING!. I do have this firmware M28W-9fc00000. My modem is a broadcom 3348, at least thats what blackcat reports by the way.

PS- on the memory tab in blackcat, there are straight Fs as values, and on the flash tab straight zeros going all the way down

IF IT HELPS, THIS IS WHAT JTAG UTLITY REPORTS AFTER 'DETECT'

I am going to try the intel-9fc00000.bin to see if it works

Youre using a PJTAG aren't you? Wow!

ok. Fire up Tom's Utility.

Same commands but it will work!

ldram 9fc00000

select bin

program 9fc00000 200000

grab a 5100 bin off SBH or forocable or there is prob one here somewhere.

If it detects it will debrick. There is a corrupted block of data in the flash somewhere. Keep flashing it until it works.(It seems like forever, doesn't it? 20 minutes to flash with a pjtag...)
