Re: RTP300 firmware update RTP300-3-1-10.bin
The config backup file hopefully is still zlib. In it there is a setting for the Admin password but it seems to be overridden by the provision file. Maybe the unlocked firmware will accept a password change. Also there is a setting for remote ssh in it. |

said by meister_sd :ydef, we are in the process of trying to take the bin file we have used to unlock the rtp300 and modify it to work with the wrtp54g by basically taking the router portion out of the vonage image and placing it in the rtp300 voice image and combining them. Okay, but I'm a bit confused first as to where this RTP300-3-1-10.bin firmware originated from. I can't imagine that a provider would release a firmware where the root pw was blank.
said by meister_sd :I've seen the work you've done on this already and maybe you can help us. I think the same procedure used to modify the original rtp300 to upload into the vonage rtp300 can be applied to the rt31p2. If you could PM rcilink, we would like your help. One thing I'm really interested in is duplicating your serial port access and JTAG access. I haven't had any luck getting a serial port connection that you described in your wiki on openwrt. Serial port's easy. Just follow the diagram i put up on the openwrt wiki:
»wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Har···/WRTP54G
at the bottom of the page. Don't forget that you'll need a level converter. If you try to plug it straight into your pc (which runs at 12 volts) you'll fry your router, or your pc, or both. Using a max233a serial adapter does the trick, like the ones you can pick up at compsys1:
»www.compsys1.com/workbench/On_to···ter.html
Another thing I'm confused about, is why you guys are going through the trouble of modifying the RTP300-3-1-10 firmware and then working backwards to make it compatible with the wrtp54g when the vonage firmware can just be modded directly given that the 3866632 size of the firmware is what allows it to take? I suppose I can continue this discussion in PM with rcilink if he wants to PM me what the big picture here is. I need some time to play with feeding modded firmware with that size to confirm that that's what i was missing before. But given that rcilink was able to do this succesfully with the 3-1-10 firmware, what's stopping him from directly modding the 1.00.62? |

It includes all of the voice options and screens as the PAP2. The 1.00.xx from Vonage doesn't have the granular control as the other - just what Vonage needs for it's network. It's a custom Vonage only build - At least as far as I have seen. I've fed my rtp300 with an XML file that gave me big admin (Admin) and the options just weren't there like the 3.1.10 software. It also doesn't have the radio options as the wrtp52g needs either because it's not included in the build or was turned off at compile. He (rcilink) put it on his wrtp52g and got everything but the radio to work. |

said by ydef :The 3.1.10 has the whole voice package. It includes all of the voice options and screens as the PAP2 ... Cool. Too bad this norweigan company doesn't also support wrtp54g? Did you ask about the unit specifically?
Okay, so here's a prelim diff I did between 1.00.62 and the rtp 3.1.10:
»www.m-a-g.net/wrtp10062-rtp3110.diff
As you can see, the only things missing from 3.1.10 are:
Only in 62/etc: killp
Only in 62/lib/modules/2.4.17_mvl21-malta-mips_fp_le/kernel/drivers: net
Only in 62/usr/sbin: dropbear
Only in 62/usr/sbin: wlan
Only in 62/usr/www/html/defs/style5/images: .svn
Only in 62/usr/www_safe/html/status: HWLStatus.html
Only in 62/usr/www_safe/html/status: WirelessClient.html
Only in 62/usr/www_safe/html/status: WirelessInfo.html
Only in 62/usr/www_safe/html/voice: restartVoice.html
Only in 62/usr/www_safe/html: wireless
Being, all the wireless related parts and dropbear.
So that's simple enough ... unless anyone has better suggestions I'll put together a combined firmware that consists of 3.1.10 and the above missing parts from 1.00.62 and see if that will allow to create a generic NA firmware compatible functional on the wrtp. Anyone have any ideas why this might NOT work? |

If you have the ability to combine and put together the missing parts, why not just take apart the latest 1.00.62, edit the /etc/shadow to replace the Admin password hashed key with the known password, mod the Voice button so that it will point to the Voice_adminPage.html file, and repackage to redistribute the firmware?

La Mesa, CA | Mazi, Why not add the wrtp54g router portion to the v3 voice? It would seem easier. But since I don't have a wireless, maybe I'm speaking out of turn since I can't test. The voice part of the v3 is complete and looks just like a pap2. |

said by ydef :As you can see, the only things missing from 3.1.10 are: I may sound strange, but did you check the other way? I think the vonage stuff is missing much more than the 3.1.10 such as the advanced admin page and user 1 & 2 page. It may seem if you had a rtp300 AND the wrtp54g, you could try the firmware independently. I have a couple of rtp300's coming from ebay next week. If it isn't solved by then, I can send you one if you'd like.

Because, from what I'm inferring from the discussion here about firmware version 3.1.10 for the rtp300 that meister_sd scored on a norweigan site, the web interface pages are far superior and allow user enhanced capabilities and features bereft from the stripped down vonage versions, and if you check out the diff I just posted you'll see significant differences in the html pages of the two firmware sources. |

And as far as differences between html pages, all the explicit differences are in that diff file I posted. The diff file is the grand culmination of all the differences between the 1.00.62 and 3.1.10 firmware.
So yeah, all the html differences that you're referring to are references in that diff file.
So I think you're a bit confused as to what I suggested I'm going to do ... which is to construct a firmware based on the 3.1.10 and add the missing wireless stuff, plus dropbear from the vonage firmware. That way, this uber firmware i'm constructing will have all the benefits of the 3.1.10 firmware along with the wireless capabilities so its compatible with the wrtp54g, and also have dropbear running so its shell accessible like the vonage based firmwares.
Does this make sense? When I was pointing out what i was missing in my previous post, I was doing so as a means of pointing out what I was going to do to 'fill in' what was missing in order to create an improved firmware that's compatible with my unit and also includes a dropbear shell. I'm not sure you completely understood what I was illustrating ... you might want to re-read my original post.
What the vonage firmware is 'missing' is somewhat irrelevant in this case because the firmware i'm piecing together is based on the norweigan firmware. |

| You are totally right. I skipped a part of your breakdown. It is very complete and my hat is off to you. Tomorrow I have off work and I'm going to fire up my linux box and try some of the utilities available and see what I can do with the rt31p2. Maybe we both can find a solution very soon. I'll PM you with my contact info if you want to talk online tomorrow. |

The "rtp300-3-1-10" file posted in this thread is coded for the Linksys RTP300 device.
I used the WRTP54G to test the firmware (with a CODE change, to make it load), and confirmed it working. I did not post the modified 'RTP300' firmware (loadable on the WRTP54G) since the wireless portion is not usable at this point.
I believe it is safe to say that soon you will find a WRTP54G version of 3-1-10 here. So, your best bet is to hang in there and keep an eye on this message thread.
I hope this helps to answer your question. |

| rcilink thank for replying my question, I knew the firmware you tested on your WRTP54G won't be able to use the wireless, I was too excited so asked you to upload that firmware(sorry about what I did). I will keep eye on this thread and looking forward you the new firmware for wrtp54g from you.
Thanks again |

I used the rtp300-3-1-10 firmware from here and made some change and did the check-sum for wrtp54g just like rcilink did and it works great just no wireless like rcilink said. Thanks meister_sd and rcilink
I checked both firmware on wrtp54g and rtp300, I found out end of the firmware before the check-sum both have "23 DE 53 C4".
Does " 23 DE 53 C4 " mean anything?

Hello everyone,
I have a RTP300 I got from vonage but no longer use their services. However, they told me to just keep the router so I've been reading about how to unlock it. I'd like to be able to access a shell.
I uploaded the RTP300-3-1-10.bin file to my RTP300 and everything seemed to go correctly. However, contrary to what I've read, I can't seem to login in as admin (or Admin).
Now I'm a little stuck since I can't get in to flash back to my original firmware. Any ideas?

| DISCLAIMER: If you are reading this and are actively using VONAGE with your device, you should NOT be doing any of these actions listed below. If you select to ignore this warning, you are on your own..
Hmm. Interesting.
You should still login as 'admin' (lowercase) with the password you had set prior to the upgrade.
Once you are in there, under the RTP300-3-1-10.bin firmware, try clicking on the 'VOICE' tab. Does it want a password, or are you in?
If you wanted to do a firmware upgrade, look under 'ADMINISTRATION' tab and select firmware upgrade. The service provider username / password may be one of these:
username=Admin
password=
or
username=user
password=tivonpw
---
One thing I noticed is that the firmware upload does not actually change some of the user info.. To truely do that, you must perform a factory reset after updating the firmware to RTP300-3-1-10.bin. I have done this on a former-vonage WRTP54G and it did not lock it down. In fact, it cleared the Admin password completely.
---
If you have no idea what the actual 'admin' (lowercase a) password is... do this:
1. grab your favorite sharp item (paper clip?)
2. push it in the 'reset' hole on the back of the unit.
3. remove the power from unit.
4. restore power to the unit.
5. continue to hold the reset button until about 60 seconds.
* This should have cleared all router settings, and you can then login with admin for username and admin for password. |
