Update Firmware Fonera 2.0n
Recently my ISP has been acting up, so I decided to setup a “backup” Internet connection that I can activate by simply plugging a USB stick into my Fonera 2.0N router.Unfortunately my HUAWEI K3765 3G modem is not compatible with Fonera 2.0N wifi router out of the box, at least not with the current stable version of the firmware (2.3.6.0 aka Gari the Hummingbird).Here is what I had to do to make the USB modem work with Fonera 2.0N:. for some crazy reason, my 3G modem refuses to work on Fonera 2.0N if there are some SMS stored on it. Plug the 3G modem into your PC and remove any SMS you may have received. YMMV. upgrade your Fonera 2.0N to the latest 2.3.6.0 firmware,. You need the developer version to ssh into your Fonera 2.0N. ssh into your Fonera 2.0N router.

I WILL FIND A WAY TO DISTRIBUTE ALL OF THE FILES SO THAT USERS CAN DOWNLOAD THEM. UPDATE: ALL LINKS SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO.I know that this is totally against what My Fon Blog is all about, but I think it is important to take the time and try to understand why the hacker community loves Fon (and their cheap routers). Yes, I'll will admit it, one of my Foneras is running DD-WRT and I don't regret doing it. I now understand why people do it. The whole process is very simple and once everything is done, you will realize the power that DD-WRT has and how crappy Fon's firmware really is.
Ni mate keygen torrent. The program keeps the folder structure for speed and the number of levels completed. Moreover you can use it to manage apps on your iPhone by installing and uninstalling multiple apps with one click. It provides separate sections for new files to load into a database.
Sometime later I will make a post on how to put the Fon firmware back onto the router, and maybe some other stuff as well. We'll just have to wait and see.
(Yes, I was trying to make a joke.).(Below is a is a copy and paste from (with a few minor changes)Note: This guide has been updated as of Aug 8, 2008 to reflect the new flashing procedures related to DD-WRT v24 SP1.The following is a guide to flashing the Fonera Access Point, into a mini-router (albeit with only one ethernet jack) running the excellent, open-source firmware. This provides many useful features, such as turning the router into a wireless repeater, or even an ethernet to wireless bridge. PreparationDownload the latest version of the following items (I recommend saving them all into a special folder on your desktop for convenience):(HFS)(Extract the Tftpd32 zip file to your special folder)- Atheros WiSoc- Fonera(Download linux.bin for v24-sp1, root.fs and vmlinux.bin.l7 for pre-RC7)It’s important to download everything you need before you get started, because you will not have internet access throughout this tutorial. All of the programs listed are installer free, meaning that at the end of this tutorial, you just have to throw everything in the trash. No messy uninstalls, no shortcuts all over the place.If you have already enabled SSH access on your router, please skip to Flashing the Firmware. Connecting La FoneraPlug the Fonera into the power, and into the LAN port on your computer.In Windows, disable all other network connections besides the one connected to the Fonera.
You’ll need to set the following settings in the LAN ports properties. Disable all firewalls, or at least make sure that port 22, 23, and 9000 are open.IP: 169.254.255.2Subnet: 255.255.0.0 (System will fill it in for you)Default Gateway: 169.254.255.1DNS: 169.254.255.1 Once all three leds are blinking (1-2 minutes), you should be able to open a browser, type 169.254.255.1 and see the Router Status.
If not, wait a little while longer. If you are still not getting anything, re-check your settings.The first time you log into the router, you will need to supply the following:Username: rootPassword: adminIf the firmware version is 0.7.1 r1 or lower, please skip to Enabling SSH.If you have version 0.7.1 r2, you will fall in two categories:1. Your router shipped with a previous firmware, and you let it update itself from FON’s servers. You will need to downgrade before continuing with this guide. Downgrading. After the Fonera has been on for a couple minutes, push the reset button on the bottom, and hold it in for several seconds (30-45 secs is fine).
Wait for it to finish rebooting (1-2 minutes), then check again to see wh at f irmwa re version you have. If it’s now at or below 0.7.1 r1, then you may move to the next step, Enabling SSH.2.
Your router shipped with 0.7.1r2 installed. You will need to do the then when you come back here, you will start at Enabling RedBoot. EDIT- This is found on the:This works on the newest firmware:1.
Hold reset button for 30 seconds2. Remove the power connector while still holding reset.3. Replace power connector and continue holding reset button until “wifi” lights up and goes away again (a good 2-3 minutes of holding it).4. Let go and wait for “wifi” to come back (2-3 minutes). Supposedly, you will now be able to follow the rest of this guide without troubles. I will need to verify this, but for now, I am all out of routers. Feel free to give it a shot.Enabling SSHNow open the SSHEnable.htm (that you downloaded earlier), hit submit.
Enabling RedBootNow open HFS. The first time you open it, a prompt will ask you if you want to include HFS in your context menu. I chose “No”. Now, right click on the little house icon, and select “Add Files”, and add openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma and out.hex.Now, open Putty and SSH into 169.254.255.1, click “Open”:If this is your first time SSH’ing into the router, you will be faced with the following dialog prompt. Despite how serious it sounds, never fear, just click “Yes.”Login using:Username: rootPassword: adminAs you type in the password, nothing will appear to happen, but continue typing anyways, and then hit enter.I’ll also share with you a huge time saver.
In order to copy from this tutorial the commands and paste them into the SSH terminal, first highlight what you want to copy (make sure not to include any extra spaces), right click the highlighted text and hit copy. Then right click your SSH window. This will automatically insert whatever you highlighted into where the green cursor is located.Once logged in, execute the following command:mv /etc/init.d/dropbear /etc/init.d/S50dropbearThis enables SSH permanently so that if you need to reset the router, you won’t need to run SSHEnable.htm again. If you have done this step before, it will return an error, and you can just continue on with the guide.For the following, after every line, hit enter and wait for it return to a prompt again:cd /tmpwget -e vmlinux.bin.l7 write openwrt-ar531x-2.4-vmlinux-CAMICIA.lzma vmlinux.bin.l7rebootNow a prompt should pop up saying “Server unexpectedly closed network connection”; Just hit “OK”.
The Fonera will now be restarting and will take 1-2 minutes (all three lights will be on). If you are impatient, you can do the following: Unplug the Fonera from the power. Open up a command prompt in Windows (Start-Run-”cmd”), and type the following line:ping 169.254.255.1 -tPlug the Fonera back into the power. Whenever you start to see “Reply from 169.254.255.1”, you can move on to the following step. Right click on title bar of Putty and hit “Restart Session.” You will now need to login again.Username: rootPassword: adminFor the following, after every line, hit enter and wait for it return to a prompt again:cd /tmpwget -e 'RedBoot config' write out.hex 'RedBoot config'rebootClick “OK” on the unexpected connection close box.Congratulations, you have now enabled RedBoot, which will allow us access to the bootloader. There we can flash the firmware to DD-WRT.You can now exit the HFS program if you want. Flashing the FirmwareChange the IP to 192.168.1.166, subnet 255.255.255.0.You should not need to change the gateway or DNS servers, but you can if you want (i.e.
If you are having an error). They will need to be changed back in the last step if you decide to change them here.Now open Tftpd32:Make sure that linux.bin ( Note: root.fs and vmlinux.bin.l7 for pre-RC7) is in the same folder as the Tftpd32 program (or in the folder that is listed in “Current Directory” in Tftpd32).Now, we can use Putty again for Telneting to the Fonera, or you can use whatever other program you have available. Right-click title bar of Putty, select “New Session.” Make sure to select the Telnet button in Putty, IP to 192.168.1.254, and then change the port to 9000. Its best to do it in that order, since Putty automatically changes the port number to 23 whenever you click the Telnet button.
If you are having trouble knowing when to start the Telnet connection, open up a command prompt in Windows (Start-Run-”cmd”), and type the following line:ping 192.168.1.254 -tWhenever you start to see “Reply from 192.168.1.254”, then hit connect in the Telnet client.Once you’re connected, enter the following commands. After each line, hit enter. The “fis” commands will take a long time (up to 10 minutes), but it will return to a “RedBoot” prompt whenever it is ready to continue (refer to the second picture for how it will look). I got impatient and entered the next lines before the prompt appeared, and I ended up having to restart the whole process.For the newer releases after RC7,there is a new flashing procedure, as follows:ipaddress -l 192.168.1.254/24 -h 192.168.1.166fis initType “y”, and hit enter.load -r -b 0x80041000 linux.binfis create linuxDo not reboot yet.

Boot script needs to be modified.RedBoot fconfig and press ENTERRun script at boot: true Press ENTERBoot script. Fis load -l vmlinux.bin.l7. Anonymousthe right click suggestion to download the openwrt firmware was not a very good thing.I did exactly that (right click. Save as) without noticing, that the link was actually dead. As a result, I had a tiny file with the html error message with the name of the openwrt firmware file.It took me a while to figure out, why I never received a ping reply after rebooting the Fon router.As you can easily guess, the router is now bricked.
Will try to see if I manage to get it unbricked with a serial upload.Asta la vista'Fonakias'. AnonymousThank you for changing this part and thank you for keeping this guide available for us to read through.Most of us enjoy 'tampering', 'experimenting' and 'playing with fire'.It will take some time and effort to unbrick it (serial connection) but. No pain, no gain.Ebay has suitable 'serial cables' staring at 5 US$. I ordered mine yesterday (from China)to continue the game.
Till it will arrive, I have plenty time to search for the next guide on the net.Asta la Vista'Fonakias'.
