[PAP2] Unlocking GuideModerator note: The firmware attached to this post has been removed from the site due to a complaint from the legal owner of the original firmware. Although we can't tell for sure, it is almost 100% likely that the firmware that was posted here is copyright, and re-distribution without permission is therefore illegal. End moderator noteA BIG Thanks to Matt for this one... Follow these steps and your Linksys PAP2 will be unlocked. Provider settings do not get erased. Several assumptions: 1. you can get to the WEB interface and set the USER password. 2. Ideally, the device has never downloaded updates, or talked to the provider. 3. You have a TFTP server setup on your network For this example, Assumptions: PAP2 is at ip: 192.168.1.5 TFTP svr is : 192.168.1.110 OK, lets go for it: 1. Put the following two files in the TFTP root folder. 2. Disconnect from the Internet (avoids downloading cfg files) 3. Boot your PAP2 in your network. 4. Browse to the web page of the PAP2. 5. In SYSTEM, set a User password of 1234 6. Click the SAVE SETTINGS button. 7. Refresh the link (you login with user and 1234) 8. modify the link to show (http) http://192.168.1.5/upgrade?tftp://192.168.1.110/PAP2-SP2K.bin 9. Examine the status leds.. Power should turn RED when it is done. Give it a minute or two, dont interrupt it. 10. Once red, point browser at your PAP2. (our IP in this example is 192.168.1.5) 11. Click the "admin login" link near the top-right. 12. Click the PROVISIONING tab and set PROVISION ENABLE=NO. 13. Click SAVE SETTINGS. 14. Now, modify the link to show (http) http://192.168.1.5/upgrade?tftp://192.168.1.110/SP2K-PAP2.bin 15. Done. Your Linksys PAP2 will eventually reboot (2 blue LEDs) (BE PATIENT) and you can click the "admin login" near the top-right. No PW needed. This test uses specific firmwares.. These are not for any other use, so if you are looking for upgrade firmware for your PAP2, DO NOT assume that this will be them.. These are for unlocking your PAP2 unit. Oh yeah. I was able to unlock two without any troubles.. your mileage may vary. Again, Thanks Matt for all the work you put into making this possible. |

I reckon lots of PAP2 units will be unlocked and Vonage will have less customers after this ... |

Once unlocked, please be sure not to perform any factory reset which will eventually relock the device. |

Are there any benefits compared to the unlocked dta-310 using asterisk. Does the voice message light works? Stutter tone when you have new voice mail? better codecs? |

Doesn't the staples rebate require you to sign up for Vonage service for 60 days?
I know the $75 visa offer definately does, but Circuit City's $50 rebate on the PAP2 requires you to sign up for Vonage. |

For those who can't find the PROVISIONING Tab in step #12, click the "advanced" link in the upper right hand corner. (This instruction should be included between steps 11 & 12).

P.S. Thanks Matt for the excellent discovery. Nice job rcilink compiling all of this into a format the whole world can use. |

No, The Staples $50 rebate doesn't require it to be activated. The $75 gift card does.

Got a 2.0.9 firmware, and loaded the tftp server. However, when I try to upgrade firmware for the first time, it asks me to login as admin! I've changed the user password and logged in as user, but to no avail. I'm trying to use the xml trick, but need more help setting it up properly. Anyone? |

Once unlocked, can you flash with Linksys PAP-2NA firmware? If so, can you then perform a Factory Reset without worrying about it reverting to Vonage defaults? Thanks |
actions · 2005-Sep-27 8:27 pm · (locked) |

The PAP2 and PAP2-NA use identical firmware. The PAP2 has different NVRAM values burned into the device than the PAP2-NA which is why a Master Reset reverts the device back to a locked Vonage adapter.
I tried numerous combinations of trying to reset the adapter (both while in "Sipura" mode and "Linksys" mode, switching back 'n forth between the firmware flavors).
It "Sipura" mode, a master reset acted like all "default Sipura" settings were loaded; however, once switching back to "Linksys" firmware, it was a locked PAP2 Vonage adapter again.

I just followed the instruction. but didn't work for me. somebody can help. thanks
I run tftp server on my laptop. unzip two files to tftp server root. then disconnect the internet from the router then connect the pap2 to the router. from my laptop, I can access the pap2's page at 192.168.2.3 my laptop's address is 192.168.2.4. add user's password 1234
step 1-8, no problem.
on step 9. before I upgrad the PAP2-SP2K.bin, the power led and network led are blue. after upgrad it, the power led flashes for about 10 second, then back to blue again. never turn red.
11. still ask for password for admin.
I am running tftp server download from here. I doubt the fireware is not updated. how can I check if my tftp server is running OK.
thanks |
