MK1: Downgrading the Fon


Recommended Posts

I know you guys are going to destroy me about giving references and descriptions about what I have tried already to here is quick overview. I have a fon + 2201 with firmware 1.1.1 r2. I have attempted to downgrade the firmware with the fon flash executable. I did not purchase a serial cable yet as I wanted to try to enable SSH and connect via ethernet. Has anyone found a link I can reference that details the most efficient way to downgrade or unlock the fon+ so I can get openwrt. After a few hours of unsuccessful attempts I ask for the community's help for a good resource. Thanks guys!

i say just use the serial its the easiest and the adapter is pretty cheap, all you need is a internal 5 pin usb cable :

and one of these cheap adapters : usbtottl6pinmodulecp210.jpg

(see http://goo.gl/aWKta) thats under $5 and you can find em even cheaper on ebay, you can even get em without the plastic shell for about $3,70 incl free shipping

then all you have to do is follow this guy's instructions :
