hello,

i tried firmware-mod-toolkit https://github.com/rampageX/firmware-mod-kit
the extraction is working but when i tried to build firmware

Firmware header not supported; firmware checksums may be incorrect.

how to overcome these errors i'm trying to enable telnet or ssh support for this modem

ask the person who created the script ?

it's not a supported device, here - https://openwrt.org/toh/start

the person who created isn't active, do you know how to build the firmware without this script the firmware is linux based like openwrt

so is 99% of all the other router firmwares out there, even those not supported by openwrt.

since the script appears to fail during CRC calculation, I could image it won't UL if the CRC isn't correct.

i'd rather check why it fails, instead of bypassing it.
