First obtain and extract http://www.qwest.com/internethelp/modems/gt701/docs/gt701_wg_qw04_3_60_2_0_6_3_recovery.zip. The files you need are in the "gt701-wg qw04-3.60.2.0.6.3_recovery/image" directory.

During the ADAM2 access window (approx 2-7 seconds after power up) connect to 192.168.0.1 with a console-based FTP client. The following assumes you're in the previously specified directory. Both the username and password are "adam2".
