Why you use tap command? That is only for debrick. If your box works (can detect flash) you donot need to use tap command.

When you do use "erase" when DEBUG ON. You should use "sprogram" not "program" command.

Please wait for NT 0.35 software where I will release script for DCT2500 also. So you will be easy to fix those issue.

You must have a valid backup. Without backup the box cannot be fixed.

After I make the script for DCT2500 and SB6120 I will release 0.35. Should be within a few days.

Well i used save nvram and firmware.
i think i did it right before hand. but not sure. have the files if they can be tested somehow.
So when your new software comes out, it will "auto" do everything for me?

thank you for replying so quick

to clear things up
im new, and all posts were confusing so thats why i used the tap commands.

Debug never turned on it was always off. Did i need it on. Without a proper backup do i have a dead box?(it cant be fixed at all)

On left there are video tutorials. Check that. It should help you more than reading the forum for programming.

for programming should i watch/use the tutorial for the 700?
2500 only has debrick nothing else

[transitoryspace]

so what did this do exactly?
"erase plat"
"ldram plat"
"program plat"
did it errase my nvram or flash?

[usbbdm]

erase for flash. You are not suppose to issue "program" command while DEBUG ON. Again if you can wait for the 0.35 and the script will give you the right command.

Well I now have the Err - on my display. Is there some kind of fix for it now that we are way pass 0.35. I've never had this problem before so I was doing a search and this thread is what i've found.

Nevermind!!!!

Just program a legit platform and the ERR will be fixed. It just mean your checksum for platform is bad.
