Re: [Packet8] BPA-410 ...or is it BVA8052 ?!?
What I want to know if can you reload a Packet8 firmware after this is done and will it mess with Packet8 service?
I would like to try this firmware and set the DTA to run at the uncompressed CODEC (can't remember the name). Then I want to load the DTA firmware and still have it work. Or better yet, I would like to use this new firmware WITH Packet8 service and skip their firmware altogether. |

| I can tell you that the sip13.12 firmware unlocked is useless 
Packet8 hard-coded several key settings (sip server and domain) so when u change them, they change back !
I did not post it for that reason-- its no good for non-packet8 uses. |

I would love to test this on my packet 8 account and see if it will unlock anything...however, I don't want to make a brick if I can help it. Anyone about to cancel P8 and feel like testing? |

| There are some known differences with Sip13.12 (the Packet8 firmware) and this firmware... I do not reccomend you try to load the Leadtek (AR16) firmware on a DTA310 intended for use with Packet8 service..
For example: Packet8 uses a custom "stun" type NAT traversal (conveniently, they labeled it "PACKET8" )..
It is just not worth it. But, hey, you can do it if you want..
I would imagine that you will be breaking the TOS by doing it.. be careful, they may attempt to collect on your return of the DTA if it is loaded with a custom firmware... |

Anyone about to cancel P8 and feel like testing? Even if we unlock anything the password will be ***** I don't think there is a need to do so as Packet8 will start get their failure results, the failure to have satisfied customers who wanted to have a softphone or use their own devices, how they feel now when a customer cancel Packet8 service and use the DTA-310 to join another service like INX or Broadvoice ? both services allow unlimited at $20, softphone and BYOD, may be it is the time for Packet8 to think for real how to satisfy their customers needs

| Did you try what was stated in this other thread?
»[General] Problem upgrading DTA-310
Let's try to keep this problem on just one thread instead of two. The other thread seems a lot more fitting for your type of problem.
I hope we can get you back to P8 firmware because I want to flash mine with the AR firmware also but not until I'm sure that it can be flashed back. |
