First time writing a tutorial and I'm bored so let's do it. Please STICKY this for easy forum access.
So I find the old tutorial somewhere on this forum out of date for downgrading/upgrading to 1.30L.48 custom firmware. Here is how I upgraded my V1000H from newer firmwares.
Before you start you should have:
V1000H CFW

or

1. Log into your V1000H using Tech account. The newest firmwares I've found have restricted access to the firmware uploading page for regular/admin user accounts.

Use your browser's Find feature and type in Technician and you'll find it.
2. Go to Advanced Setup > Upgrade Firmware and then upload the .img file you saved and unzipped to your hard drive. DO THIS WIRED
3. Wait for the modem to reboot. Be safe and take a 5min'er.
4. From there you should be good to go. Log back into your router and enjoy the unlocked options. Admin account is fine here. You will NOT have to worry about Telus upgrading you to the latest firmware after this, it has been disabled.
So pretty much why we do this (for the majority anyways) is for the bridging option so we can use our own 3rd party routers that just blow this piece of sh1t out the window. You know, routers with Tomato, DD-WRT, Open, etc. ;)
Anyways the bridging option can be found in Advanced Setup > WAN IP Addressing > Select the ISP protocol below. > and set it to RFC 1483 Transparent Bridging
I hope this tutorial helped even though it was amature written. If you already plan to use this firmware it's pretty safe to assume that you know what you're doing. If you brick your router or something f@cks up, I'm not responsible for your actions.
Thank you everyone.
Use these steps if you're on an older firmware. (I don't know the numbers just try this if the above steps don't work)
Old tutorial:
1. Download the Firmware from here (my links above)**edited
2. Extract the files using WinRAR or similar software
3. Next go to http://192.168.1.254/utilities_upgradefirmware.html?isie=0
4. Click choose file and locate the extracted file
5. The updater then will upload the file to the router. Dont do this wirelessly to ensure the upload does not get interrupted. Do not navigate away from current page or the tab that pops up afterwards.
6. A reboot is required and it will prompt for one.
