Kei Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Hi, guys! I can buy used Fon spot(not sure what version it is) in UK. In wiki it says you should not enable internet on it before installing jasager. So can i use it anyway? And what about firmware, can any firmaware be downgraded to needed one? Thanks for help. PS or i will be better with open mesh...what is more reliable? Edited July 25, 2010 by Kei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Yes the firmware can be downgraded, pretty sure there are posts on the forum here that tell you how. You may need to make/have/buy a serial cable for it to unlock it and/or for unbricking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 All UK Fons come with redboot listening on IP 0.0.0.0 which means it is impossible to communicate with it. Not sure about using mtd to access it but for the redboot, and I'm pretty sure the windows apps, you'll need a serial cable to get into it first and set the IP to something routable so it can be seen.

Is this true? These cables seem to be pretty widespread and cheaply available. Thanks, jprknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
