Khorne Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 My FON+ arrived today and ita a 2201C running 3.0.2-r1 firmware. I have looked into all the available info for flashing the Fon+ but none seem to work. When I run Ap51 it returns an error " Telnet for RedBoot not enabled ". Can anyone shine some light on this problem. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone shine some light on this problem. Thanks I had the same firmware version,I tried a lot of different guides before i got it working Chris Oliver’s Blog on unlonk the fon + was the one that eventually worked for me: openwrt-and-jasager-on-the-fon-plus maybe try this one first but I'd say it probably goes through telnet too: Fon + unlock I even tried the J-tag way which i don't think i need to do, as i got it working on my friends fon+ by just following Chris Oliver’s Blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorne Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks for the info, I have tried the info in Chris Oliver's Blog but it throws the error I described, I am waiting on parts coming to build the serial cable can you post a link to the method you used so I can give it a spin. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Do you a link to the serial cable instructions? If so then this is my write up. http://www.digininja.org/fon_serial/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khorne Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Once again thanks for the info. I was going to build my own converter but the pin out of the fon+ connector was useful. I will try the linux unlocking info first then the serial route. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m1664 Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi Guys, I got my FON box and have been trying to unlock it with no luck. It is 2201c-uk running 3.0.2 r2. The instructions here http://www.fonboard.nl/wiki/HowTo_Foneraplus_unlocking2/ looks like they might do the trick but I am confused on how to perform the line below: surf to http://192.168.10.1 or http://169.254.255.1 and change the public SSID in : FON_UNLOCK My question is: How do I change the public ssid to FON_UNLOCK? When I omit this step, I get the error below: desktop:/srv/tftp$ sudo ./catch_fonera+ ARPING 192.168.10.1 from 192.168.10.254 eth0 Unicast reply from 192.168.10.1 [00:18:84:40:09:C0] 1.495ms Sent 95 probes (95 broadcast(s)) Received 1 response(s) 192.168.10.1: inverse host lookup failed: Unknown host What am I doing wrong here? Any pointer is appreciated. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any pointer is appreciated. Thanks, Following instructions here http://www.fonerahacks.com/index.php/Tutor...lash-Guide.html I managed to downgrade the firmware (I think). I think because when I connect to the fon box, it asks for a username/password. I tried as userame (admin, root and empty as well). password tried was root/admin/password and also empty password - and it still is not allowing me in so I can't turn on ssh to complete the hack.

LauBen Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello all, Well I was clearing out some space and found two Fon+ which is good :D but they are running the 3.0.2r1 :( Now I have been looking through the posting and searching the web and although I have found the how-to over at http://www.fonboard.nl/w/index.php/HowTo_F...plus_unlocking2 it just does not seem to work for me. When I try to run the 2201-unlocking I get the following error:- Telnet for RedBoot not enabled Then it drops back to the cmd line, anyone know whats wrong. Furthermore, has anyone got a guide to how they did it. Thanks in advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 You are in the UK so you've got problems. For some reasons Fons of all types shipped to the UK (don't know about Europe but would assume also) have redboot enabled by default but are listening on an IP of 0.0.0.0 which is basically useless. The only way I've found to get into redboot on a UK fon is through a serial cable. Once you are connected you can either continue flashing through the cable or change the IP address redboot is listening on and go back to the over the network method.

LauBen Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks Dignija I had spoted the 0.0.0.0 IP but figured that is was something wrong I was doing :D I know you have a guide on your site for for building a serial cable but do you have a guide for flashing the fon via the cable? Also is your site up at the moment as I am getting a DNS error when I try to get to http://www.digininja.org/ :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauBen Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Just as a side note can I please confirm which port on the Fon+ I should plug into <_< as I have just been reading through this guide La Fonera Plus Software Flashing and it says:- Connect your PC and the LaFonera through a ethernet cable to the WAN port. So when you guys flashed your Fon+ (2201) did you plug into the WAN or the LAN port? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 My site seems to be up and I haven't had any monitoring messages to say it is down, hopefully it was just a passing thing. When you are connecting you need to connect to the LAN/Computer port, the black one on a Fon2, probably the same on a Fon+ As for how to use it, look at my site and look in full walk through section of the Interceptor project. That gets you flashing it. Or, you can get into redboot then just run fconfig, walk through the settings and set the local IP address and server address then carry on with the original install process.

LauBen Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks Digininja :D I still cant get to your site it just keeps timing out, but it must be my internet connection so I'll try tomorrow at work. Once I get the info I give it a second try and let you all know how I get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
