Machstorm Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I started the Flash process for the fon but nothing has happened after an hour and a half. So for nothing has been displayed in the Freifunk window. This step was pretty straight forward so is there something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADM1NX Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I started the Flash process for the fon but nothing has happened after an hour and a half. So for nothing has been displayed in the Freifunk window. This step was pretty straight forward so is there something wrong? yeah. the easiest way to use freifunk is to plug directly into the fon, or use a switch (NOT A ROUTER!) and start freifunk, set the files, and hit go. then, power on the fon, and it should be smooth sailing after that. what happens is that freifunk will take over redboot upon boot, and start the process. After you turn on the device, redboot waits 10 seconds before booting the firmware image, so freifunk should be able to intercept and start the process.

Machstorm Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 I think I killed it. I tried a second time and the flash process went to work I waited 20 minutes and nothing changed so I waited a little longer still nothing. I thought that I should try to telnet to 192.168.1.1 but the connection failed. Right now there is no SSID or any wireless activity coming from it. although the fons LAN light responds when you plug the cable in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machstorm Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Mine has not completed after an hour. I closed it and tried to telnet and it did not work, but I can ping 192.168.1.254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 the redboot telnet is on port 9000, not the default 23, tried that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machstorm Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Sorry, I had to go to work at the last minute last night and I did not get back until now. I tried port 9000 but it did not work, but I still can ping 192.168.1.254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 nmap it, see what is open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machstorm Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 Woot, I finally got it! I took a tip from fonerahacks.com and turned the power off then back on and telnet'd over to 192.168.1.254:9000 and now I have a redboot prompt. Now I just need to figure out what to do next. This is odd. I had to switch to my linux box where I had most of my tools and for some reason I cannot connect via telnet. However, when I use my Windows XP machine it connects just fine.
