1 edit | Re: [Unlock] TUTORIAL: VONAGE WRTP54G WITH 5.01.04Step 4: Downgrading Firmware to 1.00.62
1. Ensure that the rf file and von10062.bin from the ZIP archive are in the TFTP32 folder. Power cycle the WRTP54G by unplugging (5 seconds) and replugging the power. Ensure that the wireless is still OFF.
2. Log back into the router and go to Administration >> Ping. Also make sure TFTP32 is running.
3. On the Ping popup, right click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths.
Enter the following and click Ping.
Right Click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths. Enter the following and click Ping.
Right Click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths. Enter the following and click Ping.
You should now see a file transfer in progress under TFTP32. After the firmware has been transferred the power light on the WRTP54G will start to blink if everything is successful. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS. IT MAY TAKE UP TO 2-4 MINUTES TO COMPLETE. WAIT FOR THE POWER LIGHT TO RETURN SOLID AND FOR AN ETHERNET LINK TO BE ESTABLISHED.
Step 5: Unlock with CYT and Load New Firmware
1. Login to the router using admin/admin and leave this window open. Ensure that firmware 1.00.62 has loaded successfully.
2. Open cyt35.exe. Select Option 1. Wait for CYT to provision the WRTP54G. The output for a successful provision will be fairly obvious. This process will take 1-2 minutes.
3. Open a new window and head over to »192.168.15.1/update.html. Login with Admin/Admin or admin/admin.
4. Locate the modified WRTP54G-NA 3.1.17 firmware and initiate the upgrade process. Wait a few minutes and the device will reset itself and take you back to the login page. Username and pass should be admin/admin. Ensure that the firmware is 3.1.17.
Congrats. You now have a fully unlocked WRTP54G! | |

When Vonage pushes an update, it will (1) be rejected, or (2) overwrite your settings. They do have the ability to access information on the box, so if they feel you violated the TOS, they'll cancel your account, charge you termination for violation of the TOS, and the whole reason you stayed with them will go up in smoke. | |

Hi Phoenix2088, this is wonderful, I'm wondering is this method applying to RTP300 too? thanks for your instruction.
Thanks, no problem. Yes this method will work for the RTP300, but some files need to be substituted. Other than that follow the directions above for the rest of the unlock procedure.
1. Download the following to replace the von10062.bin file contained in the ZIP archive at Step 1 - Part 3. Rename this new file back to von10062.bin. To ensure a proper download use a DOS prompt. The wr and rf files from the ZIP archive are still used for the RTP300.
»httpconfig.vonage.net/rt-11.1.0-···0327.img
or
The DOS prompt will take 5-10 min. The file size is 3,866,632 bytes.
2. This is the RTP300-NA Firmware and will take the place of the firmware at Step 1 - Part 5 and Step 5 - Part 4. Go to the following website, locate and download the firmware. After that you must edit the file for it to run on the RTP300. Use a hex editor and change offset 0x17 from 4D to 4C and offset 0x3B0004 from 85 DA 20 BB to 3B A5 4D DA
»www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellit···ondetail
P.S. - When using the hex editor simply overwrite the file once you are finished. | |

But what I'm actually looking for is the way to flash the box with OpenWRT, not necessarily to fully unlock it. It seems that ping-hack does the trick, and who cares about Admin password if it will be running non-Linksys firmware anyway.

If so, that will be great. Perhaps, you guys need to download the Legerity GPLed driver source for the FXS port and start working on it. By any chance, did you know if anyone managed to run the OpenWRT for TI AR7 on a PAP2v2?

| I am a newbie in the Voip Unlocking world. You are telling the entire process, step by step marvelously. One thing you miss though is whether the device from Vonage (in my case RTP300) will be opened and we will be able to see the entire page with User id & Password, domain and port OR does this process wash every setting that was made by the provider and once we do it, we will just be able to use this device with other providers and not (or maybe) with Vonage? I understand your concern about legalities, which do not bother me as such. All I want to do it to be able to see the following:
User ID (generally 1+my Vonage phone number)
Password
Domain
Port (generally 5060 or 5061)
My Firmware version is 5.01.04 or maybe 5.01.14, basically it is the latest firmware. My understanding is that this information is contained under the disabled (by Vonage) Voice button on device's page.
Any help, and I will pray for you, your ancestors, and your later generations. | |

| Re: [Unlock] TUTORIAL: VONAGE WRTP54G/RTP300 WITH 5.01.04 You will lose all settings and Vonage will not re-provision the device. This process should only be done with routers that are no longer being used with Vonage. Once the device is unlocked you can use it with any BYOD SIP based VoIP providers.
Unfortunately with 5.01.04, I am unaware of a process that will allow you to view the VoIP/SIP settings when the device is in use with Vonage. | |

| Hi.
I´m having problems unlocking my wrtp54G from vonage.
I´ve followed the process by the book at least 20 times, and all the times, when transferring the file to the router, it reaches very fast about 94% (sometimes 93, sometimes 95), then goes veeeryyyyy slow for a few minutes, and then times out. Over and over, so I can´t get to the next step, which is watching the router installing the software.
Any hint?

| Worked for me with an RTP300.
One thing not mentioned is that you either have to unplug any other device other than your PC which is connected to the RTP300, or you need to change the IP address it is using for the commands. The instructions (and the RF file) assumes the PC is 198.162.15.100. Your TFTP server window will tell you what the IP address is.
The illustrations are of the WRTP console. The RTP300 Ping console looks a little different.
On my box, the Admin and user logins don't seem to work, but the voip configuration page is available.
Thanks to all who figured this out | |

| SUCCESS!!! 
Since I thought I was getting the error because of the letters or special characters in the commands, I started out with 127.0.0.1 and added commands one by one to see when I'd get the error. That's when I figured out that if I typed the whole line instead of pasting it, it worked! I have no idea why the pasting was messing it up because I was pasting from notepad. So, if anyone else has this problem, type the ping commands in manually!
I'm really sorry, this was my own stupid mistake. Thanks to everyone who helped.
One more question, I'm currently unlocked at firmware version 3.1.17, is there any advantage to going to a newer firmware (3.1.24)? If so, what is the highest firmware I can safely install? Thanks again. | |

| Hi, I am able to unlock the RTP devices. I am now interested in the configuration in md5. It started with LMMC and we can unzip it with zlib. I just cannot find how to get the CRC checksum. If we can generate this checksum we should be able to generate valid configuration file.
The reason is we should be able to skip the CYT tool for device like VT2442. VT2442 can upload configuration and if we generate legal config then the missing GUI to config the VOIP part will not be big issue any more.
Does anyone know how to generate the checksum of the configuration? | |

Once unlocked, these units can be provisioned easily through HTTP ot TFTP, which is what people on this forum have been doing for years. | |

My router has the 1.00.62 firmware so, I started at step 5
I can run tftpd32 and it SEEMS to finish the provisioning.
It is when I use another tab to login, it gives me the following message
Error: User not allowed to login this user level.
I can log back into the router using the default passwords but, I cannot get into the voice tab so I may upgrade the firmware.
