I try that but i recive an error (Incorrect image please power-off-on the device with the reset button kept pressed for 10 seconds to restart the rescue process)

UEfullimage_AT904L-03.05.bin
UEfullimage_AT904L-03.07.bin

from that site renamed to fullimage.img using tftpd32.exe

@pmgcosta
I had the same problem, but you can upgrade firmware via web GUI. Like a normal upgrade firmware process.
I have done it, and it is working fine.

I tested both versions 3.05 and 3.07

Steps that I did:

1. Install firmware with opened telnet via recovery mode
Login via telnet: 192.168.2.1 port: 2300
2. change config to start ssh server everytime:
    ccfg_cli set AlwaysOn@ssh=on
3. I added my RSA key to authorized_keys, but you can do this:
    a. "vi /tmp/etc/config/dropbear"
    b. change "option PasswordAuth 'off'" to "option PasswordAuth 'on'"
    c. save and exit vi
4. Reboot easybox and check if you have access via ssh.
5. If yes then upgrade firmware to 3.05 or 3.07 via GUI Interface (website)
6. Done, you have new firmware with opened ssh (but telnet is closed)

Important: DON'T restore factroy settings after upgrade. You will lose your ssh access.

Currently, I have completely different problem sad
I changed APN settings, I activated easybox, setted correct IMSI, but my easybox all the time shows 0 signal sad
I cannot connect to LTE and I dont know why.

I started LTE diagnose and got errors 870 - no signal and 877 - reached internet limit

Does anyone know how to clear this error 877?
And does anyone know why I dont have signal? Maybe LTE modem is disabled in EasyBox?
Is there some commends ( AT )to talk with built in modem in easybox (via ssh?)

Hello @wafuli

Where can i found that firmware with open telnet? In post #70 drop box ?

@pmgcosta
Unfortunatelly not. I got it from marcohald on irc channel.

Here is link to irc:
https://webchat.freenode.net/
channel: #easybox904

I am not sure if I can share it sad If marco allows then no problem I can share.

Also here you have more information:
https://easybox.piratenpad.de/904

One of it is:
"Possible way to gain telnet access.
please confirm if this works

1. connect a USB stick with an empty file sesame.txt to your router
2. ssh  /bin/sh
3. open the Router Status & Help page
4. open diagnose tool
5. ping your local pc " 192.168.2.2 & telnetd
"
It's means that firmware 3.05 and 3.07 has a bug, and you can get telnet access.

@erz

I have compiled a new image again...

And I see the network doesn't work...

But the image boots correctly.
I can access the console via UART.

I had have a working network connection some days ago.

But at this time I have used the modified bootloader and loaded the kernel via TFTP.
So the bootloader could set correct PHY settings or something else.

In this case the kernel is loaded from NAND.

But to use the modified bootloader and the tftp approach you need a serial conection.
There for opening the case is needed or drill a hole.

The better approach would be to improve the DTS file with correct settings.
One option is to look into the u-boot sources what there would be set.

Yes that works with 3.07


telnet 192.168.2.1

easy.box login: root
Password:

BusyBox v1.16.2 (2013-11-08 12:03:32 CST) built-in shell (ash)

@pmgcosta
Thats great smile

I have one question, what did you set here:
 
"ccfg_cli set Username@tr69=2620*EURE*IMSI*"

I set my IMSI number from SIM Card. What did you do there? wink

I have still problem with 0 signal, my box desnt see any network sad

If you just want to execute commands within the original firmware, there is a shell-injection "problem" in the web-interface on the pages for saving a configuration. Just try to add a password or a comment of $(reboot) to your config backup and see what happens. That way you can also enable ssh and other things.

best regards

@wafuli

I sent that command as is "ccfg_cli set Username@tr69=2620*EURE*IMSI*"

I don't change nothing, i copy from this site: https://easybox.piratenpad.de/904

I only have one problem 1h and 1h i receive one warning : Error code 873 (No connection to the telephone network available right now)

I don't have and i don't want to have Telephone network, do you know if exist any option to disable that?


For your problem do you know the right Operatior Code? i my case i have to change 26201 to 26801

@pmgcosta
Thats funny beacuse here "ccfg_cli set Username@tr69=2620*EURE*IMSI*" you have to set you IMSI code from SIM Card smile
But if it is working so it's fine.

I dont know how to disable this error 873.

Yes I changed Operator Code to 26006 - Polish operator Play.
I ordered new LTE SIM Card and now I am waiting for it. I will see if the new one will work smile

hi guys,
I have question.
Can you tell me what do you have in LTE Firmware version?

You can check it on easybox( on router, not web page nor ssh) Go to settings -> informations, and scroll down
My box says:
Lte firmware version:
N/A

wtf? Is it correct?

I tried to install this Image (3.17 opened) So I booted the easybox into recovery mode, set up an tftp server and the easybox succesfully flashed the firmware but upon reboot it failed and couldn't boot. I'm now unable to flash any image, everything fails, even the original. Am I missing something?

push

@shadow what is going on exactely?

Well i've set up an tftp server on my laptop, hooked up the easybox via lan to my laptop, the easybox requested the file, boots back up and then just reboots a couple times and then it says that it couldn't boot and that I should have an tftp server ready with the file fullimage.img

@shadow do it with this firmware: https://goo.gl/hKPL4y

Guys I have serious question. What is the exact frequency on that easybox works? 1800Mhz or something else? I cant find any information ( maybe because I dont know German language)

Current Firmware Version:AT904L-03.18 (Linux 2.6.32.32 #1 Thu Feb 5 11:26:58 CST 2015)

But only LTE works, i have one Sim card that only work on UMTS and Easybox don't work with that SimCard

@pmgcosta
Thank you.

So I have no idea what can I do more sad

I tried everything and my Box doesnt want to connect to LTE network.
My LTE operator uses: LTE1800 FDD, band 3

I set everything what was necessary:

MNC Code - 260
MCC Code - 06

commands:
ccfg_cli set umts_lock_ops@lte=26006
ccfg_cli set lte_lock_ops@lte=26006
ccfg_cli set umts_lock_ops@wan200=26006
ccfg_cli set lte_sim_lock_ops@lte=26006
ccfg_cli set apn_data@lte=internet   //this is correct, checked billion times. The same is on my phone....
ccfg_cli set apn_voice@lte=
ccfg_cli set apn_umts@lte=internet  //same situation

ccfg_cli commitcfg
   reboot

I tried, and nothing. So i use also this commands:
ccfg_cli set Username@tr69=HERE SIM CARD IMSI

and

cfg_cli set Username@tr69=2620*EURE*IMSI*


I spent 2 weeks working on it, and got nothing. I flashed box 3 or more times. Currently I have newest firmware 3.18 with opened SSH.

I tried with 2 sim cards. I bought completely new one, dedicated to LTE and still nothing....

What am I doing wrong?

Maybe my LTE modem is broken (hardware)?

And anyone knows, how to talk directly with LTE Modem via SSH? I want to send some "AT" commands to it...

Please someone help me with this piece of s***

It still fails with this error: http://imgur.com/fLGizhC
How do I flash an image correctly? Do I have to do something before flashing, please help me.

So I have no idea what is going on.
Do you have easybox 904 LTE or easybox 904 xdsl ?

This firmware is for LTE...

Oh i have the easybox 904 xDSL

Try with original one for XDSL big_smile

Go to post 120 and check there.
