Does the host name show up as you put it in the config file?

Any idea if that is some client side script or if it's an answer of the webserver? In the first case you could use some debugging tool in your browser to pull the check in the Apply button.

Yes, after modified in config file, it appair as i write h ;......., but when i try to change domain, not let me do because caracter error of hostname.
I think is a web server error, when i go home i will post some images.

New FW version ??? The revision looks old but the date is new...

Right now only a pdf file with changelog.

I flashed  FW 310TUJ0C0.bin with the script

# ./fwupgrade_erase_write_ras.sh

No news. I can access, with 3.10, the web page but router is still unstable and after 4 minutes reboots.

No way,
Oxo (thanks thanks thanks) today sent me all the mtd from his router but I got always the same behaviour.....
- With FW 3.10, web access & reboots after 4 mins.
- With FW 3.11, NO web access & reboots after 4 mins.

Only thing remain to try is to move to tuj bootloader.

Right.....so how I can do that?

Tomorow we can try together.

passero is bricked

oxo, need ur help.

found a way to unsquashfs my filesystem.

backed up loop partition to usb stick, unsquashed with fmk (squashfs-4.2), and inspected web contents for dlna and printserver, and found that requested .cgi executables missing from there.

i need to backup for me ur loop partition and send to me, to extract from there print and mediaserver cgi's

thanks.

cornelus obtained GPL code, that we are trying to compile. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/eywont3uni0r8gw/-Wwe6MCudj

If one gets a version of Ubuntu 9.10 in a virtualbox.org, it seems to be possible to compile.
(Trying to complie with Ubuntu 12.04 gives bad charma...)

Note about the supplied GPL:
fakeroot, in the toolchain, is missing it's library: find  fakeroot and rename fakeroot.org and then use the ubuntu supplied fakeroot.

Note about Ubuntu 9.10 (not supported anymore: doesn't time fly ...):
Get via:
http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic/ - I took 32 bit desktop
Y need to install m4 and flex plus fakeroot:

sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install m4
sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install fakeroot

The final make ras gives:

Next steps if there is a sucessfull "flash" or preferable, network boot, is:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/add.new.platform and in particular the diff to original kernel

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/v2.6.20

Hi passero.

Have a look to documentation: new firmware for P-2813HNU-F1 RAS, but firmware for european version is OBM. Different bootbase.

I know you have to match bootbase to firmware version, and in case of debranding, we need a WHOLE image that includes bootbase + firmware.

I already done something similar with a P870HW 51a v2 from Movistar (Spain).

@oxo

Please, oxo, could you provide us with a full dump of your flash?, with debug mode flag activated, if possible. Thanks in advance.

If I have a full dump, I could generate a whole image by comparison, with an hex editor. I already done with Zyxel P-870HW 5a v2 and worked.

I can provide you with a serial cable if necessary, just mailing from Spain to Denmark. (about 1 week to get to you). I have a couple of them.

Regards,
Alex

Well, I mounted a whole image, but I need to calculate zboot signature, maybe can be recover from GPL software?

I finally canceled verification and uploaded my "mixed" image (bootbase + firmware) by tftp to address 0x80000000(working in uboot environment), but when I tried to boot from memory it showed me an strange message: Wrong Magic Number

It's a kind of magic .... ?¿?¿??¿

Now I will try to compile the GPL version and upload full image with good bootbase, and later I will upload right firmware.

Thank you very much for the info but, unfortunately, I bricked my device :-(

(Last edited by passero on 24 Nov 2013, 10:09)

Passero, could you access to z-boot environment?, if so, don'nt worry, I will try to make a whole image to load the right bootbase, and later the original firmware from zyxel.

My P-2812HNU-F1 is also bricked

I prepared Kubuntu 9.10 machine under vmware player, and followed all steps, but... when I tried to untar 311TUJ3C0.tar.gz it shows me an error

asmartin@zyxel:~/P-2812HNU-F1$ tar -xvzf 311TUJ3C0.tar.gz > /dev/null
tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
asmartin@zyxel:~/P-2812HNU-F1$

so I think this sourcefile is faulty or defective.

Downloaded twice with same CRC (HASH) result. Definitively it's faulty.

May anybody upload RIGHT source file to same location in dropbox again?

Hi OXO.

I couldn't install m4, flex or fakeroot from apt-get, did you installed with apt-get or manually (./configure &&make &&make install)?

Hi OXO.

Found mistake.

You have to edit /etc/sources.list and change (with gedit ot kate) "us.old-releases" (where us means locale, i.e. in spanish regional setting should be "es.old-releases") to "old-releases" and then make and apt-get update, NO upgrade.

m4, flex and fakeroot are obsolete packages and could not be found with apt-get install if you make an upgrade.

Finally, same error:

tar: Skipping to next header

gzip: stdin: unexpected end of file
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I need 311TUJ3C0.tar.gz in working order.

Could you help me?

F3 GPL is complete, in the heat of all our threads, forgot to post that F1 is corrupt as I really only wanted boot source code which is possible to extract from the corrupt file

F3 GPL can help ensure an installation that should be able to compile a future F1 which I should receive in december.

fakeroot etc where obtained from archives ( I make a new Virtual and check the process at some time)

send a serial cable if it will help y (my address in PM): the only reason being I cannot be bothered finding one that works

Hi oxo.

Already compiled but it's F3 image WITHOUT bootbase. Just the firm (rootfs and applications)

I need to ompile WITH bootbase that contains all structure of drivers and so on in ageement with firmware.

To solve fakeroot inconvenience I just deleted "fakeroot" in makefile and launched as root.

What is your Bootbase version ?

Do you have UART cable to access to your router?

(Last edited by asmartin on 26 Nov 2013, 22:58)

Hi passero.

Finally I know RSA version is version for South Africa, but OBM version is for Europe. That's the difference. So that image does not apply to our routers in Europe.

Moreover, GPL image does not include bootbase (where drivers reside) and that's a faulty to GPL license that Zyxel should correct.

I requested GPL sources but they don't want to provide them to me, what can I do?
