I got a new HG612 (unlocked) to replace my ISP supplied modem. Unfortunately the HG612 does not synch. I gave the modified firmware a try (SP06), but no luck.
xdslcmd info says:

.... and so on forever. DSL light is flashing maybe 15 times, then stops for a minute, then flashing again.
My provider does ADSL2+ and requires PTM (the reason why I bought this modem / one of the few affordable PTM models available). In don't know what DSLAM they are using (California, AT&T, formerly Pacific Bell).
Sure, I tried all possible ADSL settings on the HG612, but it does not make a difference. I also checked the wire connections (measured resistance from DSL signal transformer on HG612 board to the other end of the phone cable).
The ISP provided modem is a Smartrg 360n. DSL hardware driver is A2pG038i.d25d (obviously it has the same DSL chip as the HG612). I tried this blob on the HG612, but I get a segmentation fault .
Any hints ... I would appreciate very much. Thanks.
