Getting a WRTp54G to take 3.1.17-NA...
If you have tried to load up the WRTp54G with version 3.1.17-NA firmware from Linksys support and it does not take (says wrong code pattern), have a look at this:
For this project, you will need:
- a copy of wrtp54g_fw_3.1.17_US.img (get it from www.linksys.com)
- a good HEX editor
- a Linksys WRTp54G device (no, this does NOT work on a WRT54Gp2!)
- the ability to access /update.html (you must know the password)
Here's what to do:
Open the wrtp54g_fw_3.1.17_US.img file using your favorite HEX editor.
1. Change HEX offset 23 from 4D to 4C.
2. Change the last four bytes to: AB 3A 49 5D
3. Save your new file.
4. Update the firmware on your WRTp54G (/update.html) to the new firmware.
Very Important!!! Let the firmware upgrade complete!!! Do not close the web browser session! Eventually (1-2 minutes) it will load the login screen of your WRTp54G device.
If you interrupt this, you may brick your device!
One last note, you may need to do a factory reset to rid yourself of any left-over params from the former use.. I did not have to do that, so the admin password was retained, along with the router settings. The voice section lost all of the settings, as it loads a different SIP engine (resembles the Linksys PAP2).
The new Admin password is blank (nothing in the password field). This is only needed for the /update.html page on firmware 3.1.17-NA.
Good luck!! |

Would you be able to post an MD5 for the modded file so people don't screw this one up (myself included).
I'm assuming this one acts like a Sipura/PAP2 vs. 1.00.62-NA? |

| Sure, the MD5 for the firmware (after the above mods are done) should be: 611eb9063d2c9c8ff2e34826c1a376e2
It does have a PAP2 SIP module, unlike the 1.00.62 versions.
I was pleased to see it is more stable than the 3.1.3 and older versions we played with in the past... |

This is really, really great. Thank you rcilink!!! Version 3.1.17 is indeed running like a SPA-2002/PAP2 as I just reinitialized the router and then added a "Voicepulse" recommended dial plan for the SPA-2002:
(x#|xx#|*821[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|*82011x.|*xx|*1xx|[3469]11|0|00|1[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx|011x.|[2-9]xx[2-9]xxxxxx)
I think the Vonage WRTP54G is really open now! :D |

rcilink and other that can Help.
I've tried your instructions and the HEX offset 23 is not 4C... I am using WinHEX... anyway the MD5 was different, so I guess that's the reason whay it is not working? could you please upload it? thank you very much! |

Walkerton, ON | 23 Decimal = 17 HEX
So when using a HEX editor, you'll be editing the byte in address 17h |

Folks, I really loved this topic, but i just have 2 concerns before go on it:
1) I had downloaded the img file from the site provided by celiomartins but the MD5 of that file does not match with the one provided before from rcilink as follows:
celiomartins's MD5: 611eb9063d2c9c8ff2e34826c1a376e2
rcilink's MD5 (provided above): e3470bc9b640d73d3330cafcc62d2bc9
Does someone already tried with the celio's file?
2) I couldn't find the wrtp54g_fw_3.1.17_US.img file to download from the linksys support site ... at the WRTP54G page there was no firmware to download, but I found the WRTP54G-NA_fw_3.1.17_US.zip at the WRTP54G-NA page ... will it works with the NA image? If no, from where can I get the original file?
tkx in advance for any help on this |

Can this also be applied to the RTP300-NA_fw_3.1.17_US firmware from the Linksys site? I have the RTP300 with the 1.0.0.62-NA firmware installed. Used the CYT-Unlocker to get the logon/password.

| WRTP54G Unlocked ---- Thank you guys !!
After 1 week of attempts - Success now.
I was successfully able to unlock my Vonage WRTP54G using the firmware upgrade procedure. The cyt software failed to do so. I used the following link and it worked like charm !
I was getting "Invalid Code Pattern" error with 3.1.17-NA firmware from Linksys support. Then I used celiom.googlepages.com/linksys code which got me onto 3.1.17, but No NA.
My router wasn't accepting any user:tivonpw password and I was stuck. Then I did a factory reset using the poke-in button at the back. After that I was able to access update.html and then upgraded the firmware. Now I am on 3.1.17 and life feels good. Configuring VIatalk was a cakewalk.
Next Project is to install astersik on this. ANy easy-2-go guide will be appreciated. |

How do you upgrade the firmware on WRTP54G? There is not such an option under the Administration menu. HELP! |

Hi,
the image file from celiomartins (wrtp54g_fw_3.1.17_USmod.img) only has 2.746.234 bytes and the image (wrtp54g_fw_3.1.17_US.img) from linksys has 3.866.632 bytes, why they are not equal in size if only 5 bytes (offset 23 + checksum) were changed ? |

I found the problem with img size, it was my download manager.
