shakert Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 help i was trying to flash the fon with the new firmware in darrens guide step 11 and i accidently disconnected the ethernet cable and so i restarted it. I tried to flash it again but either it is not working or it is taking a real long time 40 plus minutes. Is it working or am i wasting my time?

I'm in the same boat after disconnecting it trying to do something similar. Your best bet is to flash it again, using a serial cable. The guide to do it is here: http://hak5.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=12506 If this doesn't work then you maybe out of luck. But that is v. unlikely, as the serial boot is like CPR for the fon. Best of luck. > EDIT: Also, if you are no good with hardware, like I am, a user on here called "digininja" is selling the necessary cable for a good price. I hope he doesn't mind me advertising.

digininja Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 flashing a basic Fon can take up to an hour. Be patient, if you can get into redboot, or whatever windows gui you are using is happy, and start the flashing process then you haven't bricked it.
