Have only succeeded using the M-Sys bypass when using 5.X firmware. However, if the system does not even print the M-SYS banner when programmed with the M-Sys firmware then the firmware on the module is completely non-functional and the module needs to be reformatted (or at a minimum have the firmware reinstalled). The M-Sys bypass only works if the firmware works in the first place and can only deactivate the installation of the emulated harddrive. Reformatting a "busted" DoC having a bad firmware installed is a little hard unless you have a burner, but there is some dirty tricks you can try such as plugging the DoC module while the system is running and other similar adventures, but is nothing I would recommend unless all other options have been exhausted as it may easily burn both your board and the DoC module..
