Re: [Unlock] WRTP54G with Firmware 5.01.04
said by Velund  :Used firefox with web dev. plugin to work with ping hack. First uploaded small shell file with command to change env. var to /var/tmp using wget, then chmod this file to make executable, then run it. Three groups of commands via ping hack hole. The rest of unlocking is as usual. LOL. This doesn't sound like a serial-console unlocking to me.

| But the result is unlocked serial console, and unit can be easily downgraded to a more useful firmware.  Much more can be done via ping hack (if you can throw in a shell file, you can do almost anything without opening unit, but I doubt that erasing and rewriting bootloader is safe using ping hack - I crashed router at least three times until found max. command line length that does not crash it).
So, I just feed 'echo "setenv CONSOLE_STATE unlocked" >>/proc/ticfg/env' that way and do the rest using serial console. |

I used ping hack only to change bl env variable and get access to bootloader command prompt using serial cable (yes, the one connected to 5-pin header inside of the box, through a adm3202-based level converter, if you still in doubt). Does we talking different languages?
Anyway, those who need it got a confirmation that this version is unlockable and general idea about one of possible ways to go. I will be glad to see reports about other methods. |

Does we talking different languages? Excellent and we are in sync! So, the problem you had was unable to access the serial console because it was locked by default. Good job.
