if u cant get a reading in hyper terminal the connection is wrong trace the wires from ur jtag (tx on jtag to tx on the modem and so on) if u get to the part to press p and nothing is happening then u need to change the control flow to hardware or xon

when u do this

Once your console cable is connected and your hyper terminal is running power on the modem. And if you have done all of the above then u should start to see messages in your console window
do u get any messages?
if not ur not making any connection
 
same problem

i got the same problem kinda.....when it asks me to input the 3 options i press p and nothin happens

people say its my port settings but i cant see how this can be as i have done the r2 before
had a problem like this on a couple of modems now
#


any pointers?
 
hi m8 check ur rx connection and make sure it correct making good contact with the rx pin on the max and on the modem...try this also, some peeps say it had work for them
its by melttic
go into hyperterminal
then file
properties
then settings
then ascii
then tick "echo typed characters locally"
now ok out
now when u press p it will work
just go back in settings and change back once u have done the p bit
this will do it
 
done what was said above

can press p now although it still has no effect

all comsole messages say my rs232 is workin as i have done these before

just something seems differnet about these

the sw revision is

epc2100r2 - v202r1256a - 060303 - 060721
p/n 4015875
h/w rev 2.1
date of manufacter 01/07

any helpwould be appreciated

like a photo of an r2(high quality) that someone has done (closeup of board around flash chip) just so i can rule out a resistor missing on purpose (I.e they havnt left it off to stop people doing this to em)

anyhelp would be appreciated

here is a readout of my earlier try and all responces
