      Those firmware links don't work any more either. They just lead to a Google Drive promo!

      Things have changed, but if you have a Google account, log in and you'll get the firmware links.

      If anybody is still struggling to find then, I have copies of the original and hacked firmwares which I can email to you.

      Re: Hacking the BT Openreach Modem HG612

      I have just downloaded the zip called , hg612_unlocked_sp10_firmware

      it has 2 folders in there , one called "original_sp10_firmware" and one called "unlocked_sp10_firmware"

      I take it i flash with the "unlocked_sp10_firmware" one and if i need to revert back to normal state i flash "original_sp10_firmware"?
