here's an experimental program I made to make the process more automatic so users can fix their own wifi without our help.

this is good for both corrupt modelid and corrupt wifi, and fixes both at the same time.

STEP BY STEP:

1. download attachment at the end of the post for mac1.exe (requires .net 2.0 installed on the PC)

2. you will also need to download the other attachment in this post for the mtty program.

3. enter bootloader (tricolour screen) manually by pressing and holding camera button all the way in (yes I mean that, press it in as hard as you can!!), while doing a reset, then keep the camera button held until you see the tricolour screen.

4. disable USB in activesync (wmdc if you have vista - in this case, do not kill wmdc, just disable usb in it!!!)

5. run mtty and select USB option from the dropdown box!

6. then press enter in main window that comes up, see if that gives you Cmd>

7. now you should have Cmd>, if not, re-check if you did the above steps right until you get Cmd>

8. now run the mac1.exe, type in your MAC address you want to use for the Athena, if you have SPL 3.xx reported on the tricolour screen, then use the button for SPL 3.xx, otherwise if you have SPL 1.xx reported, use button for 1.xx.

9. this should have generated a .bin file for you, copy that bin file in the folder of mtty.

10. now, in mtty, type (do not copypaste!) this command: task 32

11. this should return Level = 0

12. now, you must only do one of the two following commands:

- if you have SPL 3.xx, then type (do not copypaste!!) this command: lnb filename.bin 76508000

(there filename is the name of the .bin file you generated - don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).

- OR, if you have SPL 1.xx, then the command is different (do not copypaste!!): lnbs filename.bin 75108000

(there filename is the name of the .bin file you generated - don't forget to put .bin after filename, as the full name is needed).

NOTE, the command starts with a lowercase "L", not "I"!

WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT MIX UP THESE TWO DIFFERENT COMMANDS!!!

if this info helps: most people will have SPL 3.xx, and if you have AP4 (not vanilla) already running then you're definitely 3.xx

13. mtty will popup a window asking "OK", you press OK!

if you get "Fail to synchronize with the host (1)", then make sure you did follow step by step. if still same error, try placing mtty and the bin file under C:\.

14. now the file downloads, if mtty reports it flashed the file, and at the end "code entrypoint unknown", then that's it, now boot back to WM and see if wifi works.

edit: see raskell's mtty tutorial too, #36. post in this thread

if you *really* can't manage to get it working, you can still feel free to PM me.

let me know if this program and step by step description helped any.
