i was hoping for some technical advise on a idea for the Netgear WGR614v9 Routers
there's 2 types of version.9
the normal Netgear v9 firmware
and a VirginMedia Netgear v9 Firmware
the virginmedia edition fail's to take the normal netgear firmware, so there's guides on the web how to Telnet and Change BurnBoardID, thus allowing to load the normal netgear firmware via the web interface.

so i was wandering, instead of telnet and following a guide and changing board-id that some people have problems with
would it be possible to Hex Edit the board id in the original netgear firmware
from U12H094T00_NETGEAR to U12H094T85_NETGEAR
to hopefully trick the router ito thinking its a virgin fimware thus allowing the upgrade

hex edit to this


VIRGIN MEDIA FIRMWARE INFO

Release version : Netgear Wireless Router WGR614v9
U12H09400/V1.0.11/1.0.1VGUK
Firmware Version V1.0.11_1.0.1VGUK
HEX DUMP from virgin firmware
found board-id
U12H094T85_NETGEAR.
board_id=U12H094T85_NETGEAR.wla
------------------------------------

And the NETGEAR FIRMWARE INFO Board-id

U12H094T00_NETGEAR
Firmware Version V1.2.30_41.0.44
------------------------------------

i hope you can understand what i mean, and do you think this is possible,
i thought id better ask some people who know more about this before i start bricking routers
thanks
