You can try and reset the BPA410 to some default
1. Unplug the power
2. Connect the telephone to the Line 1 port
3. Lift the handset off the hook (off hook)
4. Use a pin or something like it to push the reset button while you plug in the power. The power led should be flashing.
5. Continue to hold the led until you see 4 of the 6 led's flashing several times in pairs. Release the pin pushing the reset button and wait until all the led's stop flashing. This could take 10-seconds or so. Put the phone back on the handset.

Here is the MGCP firmware for a DTA310.

The hope was that this firmware would bring in the 8x8 download firmware (8x8 010208) that was reported to allow you to install the Leadtek AR18D firmware in the DTA. I tried it and it did not work for me.

At the end, I had 8x8 010222 downloader code. When I tried to install the Leadtek AR18D firmware, the application would not load. I was able, though, to reload my Leadtek AR17I firmware and the DTA is still useful.

When I first tried to install the DTA P8VO-116 firmware, the download said it was successful but when starting the application it did not come up but seemed "stuck". I had made the mistake of being connected to the internet and I realized that the unit was sending packets. My sniffer said they were to vo.packet8.net.

3) Some how communicate with the DTA and get it to go into bootloader mode.

Just to update everybody: still no luck unbricking my DTA. I assigned it a STATIC IP address (via the phone input mode), but it couldn't be PING'd nor detected by numerous versions of the P8 updater application.

I even tried connecting my DTA directly to my PC (using a crossover cable), both w/ a DHCP server running on my PC (via ICS) and w/o a DHCP server. Without the DHCP server, I configured a STATIC IP on the PC. No luck in all cases.

If somebody knows how to force the DTA back into "downloader mode" from its phone input mode, that may do the trick. The BVA8051 method of doing so doesn't work on the DTA310 (not even on a perfectly good DTA310 running stock P8 firmware).

Wait for at least 10 seconds after plugging in power to your DTA-310 pressing (not holding) the ‘Reset’ button will then play your IP address (unless it is still waiting for one from your DHCP server).

If you do not have a DHCP server on your router or local network, you may need to set the IP address on your DTA-310 manually. Network settings for static/fixed IP address (including DNS) can be set by holding the ‘Reset’ button in back of the DTA-310 while plugging in the power and typing them in via the handset:
a) Hold the ‘Reset’ button while you power-cycle the DTA.
b) Release the button within 4 seconds of booting.
c) You will hear a repeating high-pitched beep sound.
d) Type in static/fixed IP address, net mask, gateway, and DNS address with digits, ‘*’ and ''#''. After each entry is accepted the beep sound will lower in pitch (type ''#'' directly if you want to stay DHCP mode instead of a static/fixed IP address). For example:
IP Address 192.168.1.10
Net Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS 63.209.12.18

would be the following key sequence:
‘Reset’ button (high beep)
192*168*1*10# (lower beep)
255*255*255*0# (lower beep)
192*168*1*1# (lower beep)
63*209*12*18# (four beeps to indicate complete)

Based upon your posts above, I decided to flush my DTA to see if I get the PAGE NOT FOUND Message. This will occur if you do not have a static IP set on the DTA. When I attempt to load the AR18 firmware, it says that it loaded ok but, when I reboot it goes right back to the downloader menu. To try and restore your DTA, I would either reload AR160 or rclinks 12.35. I am now back to running AR17I without a problem.

If you take a LeadTek upgraded DTA and reboot it into Downloader Mode, it shows a P8 look 'n feel.

This makes sense because the downloader code installed is that of P8.

LeadTek AR17I Firmware, P8 Look 'n Feel

At first I simply attempted an HTTP xfer. The router automatically attempted to reboot into d/l mode, and the HTTP transfer began. Shortly thereafter, a PAGE NOT FOUND appeared in the file xfer browser frame, and the xfer progress in the status bar stopped progressing. Lights initially flashed on the DTA but then stopped.

After HARD RESETTING the DTA (a few times), I didn't get a DHCP assigned IP address, and I couldn't figure out if it even had an IP address. Finally I rebooted my router and the DTA received it's original DHCP assignment (i.e. the static DHCP assignment I programmed into my router for my DTA's AR16O mac address).

The upload hadn't completed, so I was still on AR16O. I then re-attempted the same file xfer (w/o manually rebooting the router first), and once again there was a browser frame showing a page not found. The DTA itself was flashing constantly though, so I opened up another browser window, navigated to the DTA web-page, and saw the most spectacular thing:

The DTA-310 w/ an old Packet8 look 'n feel (including an old Packet8 logo) showing the "limited" Packet8 menu of options, but with a listed APP CODE of Leadtek AR16O!

I clicked on the "Reset" link (of the web-page showing a Packet8 look 'n feel), rebooted the DTA into downloader mode (which upon reboot continued to show the P8 look 'n feel), and re-attempted the upgrade to AR17I.

That upgrade succeeded w/o a hitch, and when it was done, it informed me that the update was successful. It then gave me the option to reboot the adapter into Application Mode (which I chose).

I'm back to the LeadTek look 'n feel and now have AR17I. I haven't yet re-configured my Stanaphone settings; however, it looks like there may be slightly more SIP config options in AR17I than AR16O.

A couple of things to add, I have discovered that with downloader 1.0 US (8x8 010113) checksum 6fc71.0 US (8x8 010113) checksum 6fc7, I had to downgrade from 13.16 to 12.35 BEFORE I could load the AR160 Code. Otherwise it would fail to upgrade.

Secondly, while this loader fails to load the AR18D code (Completes upgrade without an error but reboots back into downloader mode), I am able to load SIP version 1.0 US (LDTK AR17I ) checksum efee. I have attached a screenshot, the AR171 Firmware and the Release notes.

Obviously the box is requiring a certain combination of application and downloader codes. Can't the firmware file itself be modified to make the box think it has the proper application and download versions?

the next adapter while upgrading said page can't be displayed.
assuming it was a problem , i flashed it with AR17
it will not take AR18.
the "problem" turns out was that the ip changed from app mode to download mode, because its hostname changed.
easiest way around this is to reboot into download mode.
find it.
then flash.

I began working the pinout of the 40-pin "host interface". I only have 11 pins mapped-out so far.. This is a pain in the butt (my eyes are going crazy from the micro-sized traces!!)

Anyhow, I think this is pinned-out right.. The board has another connector with a place for 5 pins (on the DTA310 board, it was labeled GOB, J5). On the BPA410, it is labeled J7.

The mark is pin 1 (numbered right to left) has the following pinout:

1. bootmode [normally high]
2. Serial Out
3. Serial In
4. Gnd
5. Gnd

The serial port will need to run through a MAX-232 chip to bring the port up to RS232 levels for a PC to see anything from it..

I have the chip and will begin wiring it in later this week. The Goal: clear out the broken firmware and reload new firmware (even if it means I have to hook this serial port up on a working DTA first and save the flash content to disk.. then just put it back into the broken flash..

NOTE: This has not been tested.. My eyes are tired, so verify your traces to be absolutely sure.. Or, if you dont want to do anything, just check back here in a week (I hope to have it done by then) and see what happened to this project..

Standard Disclaimer: Do this at your own risk! So, don't try this with a DTA310 that is working with a Packet8 subscription! I have actually toasted several DTA310 units, and one BPA410 unit.. I am waiting for a seriously rainy week so I can build the host interface cable and attempt to re-flash the unit while it is in slave-mode. Since I don't have much help from the 8x8 crew, this may be a long-term project.

I do have one DTA310 working with Asterisk [running the AR16O firmware]..

Perhaps these steps may work for you:

1. install firmware 12.35 or 12.39 (I have seen people post that they have used either of these).

2. As soon as it is loaded and you confirm the 'main application' is running, verify the application code and downloader code. The downloader code should NOT be 010225! If it is, try re-flashing the 13.15 packet8 firmware to prevent making your DTA310 into a brick. If it takes, you can start the steps over. Your downloader code should be lower than the 010225 version. If it is, upgrade the firmware to the LeadTek AR16O firmware. (Stay with AR16O, not any of the newer firmwares offered by LeadTek).

3. Once loaded, restart and run 'main application'. You should have AR16O with a downloader code of 010113. If not, you may find that it won't upgrade anymore... :( If your goal is to stay with the AR16O for Asterisk use, then dont worry about it. It will configure and work with Asterisk and many other providers (Not Packet8!).

No one has proven it yet, but it appears that the newer firmwares offered by Packet8 may actually break the DTA310 if loaded with the AR16O or the 11.11 firmware. It could be coded to destruct, or random occurance.. I doubt you will get them to tell you..

If it is, it can be removed (hopefully socketed, but if soldered, it can still be done) to be programmed by a EPROM programmer and then put back there. Best is to have a working unit to clone from, since the flash bin might not cover the whole memory, so it could just be some segments.

Perhaps downgrade your DTA to 12.35 first, then upgrade to AR16O.

If the main reason we can't recover from a firmware update is because of a mismatch between the firmware and downloader version numbers, can't we just modify the code in the firmware (bin) file with the needed downloader version number?
Does that make sense?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13947286 Thu, 21 Jul 2005 09:50:39 EDT Re: [BPA410] stuck.. no response to anything! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13945197 rcilink : Here's an observation..

They updated the downloader code (version 010225) to break the LeadTek firmware from loading into the BPA410. If you try to load it, it says "download failed".

I installed firmware 13.12 (with downloader code 010221) and it let me then update the firmware with LeadTek AR16O..

Unfortunately, the thing got munged! Now, I can not access the web interface (no DHCP info from my server), and even tried to code-in a static IP address via the phone handset at boot. nada.

So, I took the cover off, looking for the ultimate solution. Staring at me is that 40-pin Host Interface. In the BPA410, I can see where most of the traces go, so I will begin mapping it out to build a programming interface. Once complete, it will read/write any DTA310 or BPA410 device. the ultimate recovery tool!

BTW, did someone post here that they were successful with the LeadTek firmware on their Packet8 BPA410 device? I would love to know what version of P8 firmware was on the thing before they put the LeadTek firmware on it..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13945197 Wed, 20 Jul 2005 23:52:54 EDT Re: [DTA310] Firmware Recovery Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13940290 jasonjsimon : Great Idea!

Got the downloader code version "010113" ? Stuck with the wrong application code (old P8 firmware) matched to that? If you have that downloader code version, try reloading the AR16O firmware to see if it makes the DTA310 happy (matched firmware set, so the DTA310 knows where the starting address of the application is).
]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13924181 Mon, 18 Jul 2005 18:39:51 EDT [DTA310] Firmware Recovery Thread http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13924154 rcilink : I know several here have a DTA310 with it having a 'half-loaded' firmware set.

Examples of common problems might be:

1. I was running firmware 12.39 in my DTA310 and I decided to load firmware 11.11. Now, it is stuck and I can not upgrade to any firmware.

2. I have a DTA310 that tells me "no application loaded" and is stuck in a downloader mode.

It appears that this happens when the boot/downloader firmware gets out of sync with the application firmware.

So, if this idea proves to be correct, and you find yourself with a 'stuck' DTA310, think of it this way. You need to try loading the previous firmware back into the DTA310.

For example, I have a DTA310 with the following firmware on it:

Application Code Version:  DTA version 1.0 US (8x8 001315) 
Downloader Code Version:  1.0 US (8x8 010225)

So, that tells me that if I load firmware 11.11 and the downloader is at 010225, i might be lucky enough to be able to re-load 13.15 and get my DTA310 'un-stuck'.

Maybe with everyone's help we could start a list here of firmware matches (Application code version + Downloader code version).. So, if your stuck with a downloader code that does not match the application code, you can find which real firmware contains that downloader code version and reload it.

It beats tossing the thing...
