This router can not enter to CFE from a serial console. I know that other routers possible. This is my CFE with changed MAC and Serial number: cfe_my_mac_serial.bin

I try flash other CFE (from Alice Gate VoIP 2) and working:
but OpenWrt-HG553 not start after that and Linux kernel CRC error.

OpenWrt from Alice Gate V2 working after flash from CFE over TFTP:

CFE> flashimage openwrt-AGV2+W-cfe-jffs2-128k-cfe.bin
Loading 192.168.1.100:openwrt-AGV2+W-cfe-jffs2-128k-cfe.bin ...

Unfortunately, not work Wifi and USB :-(. Details in the post on eko.one.pl: vodafone HG553

OK, I found the source code CFE_HomeHub2A-sourcecode.tar.xz

After edit build.sh - change BoardID=HOMEHUB2A to BoardID=HW553 CFE work. OpenWrt AA 12.09 with Ethernet, Wifi & USB also work :-).

Only not work LED's :-(

Please help resolve problem.

OK, now LED's working

You need add script /sbin/diody_on.sh to /etc/rc.local which active LED's (GPIO6 Active Low) and put him to /sbin folder. Script also change POWER LED Red to Blue:

/etc/rc.local:

# Put your custom commands here that should be executed once
# the system init finished. By default this file does nothing.

/sbin/diody_on.sh

exit 0

diody_on.sh:

#!/bin/sh

echo "6" > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio6/direction
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio.0/leds/HW553:red:power/brightness
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/leds-gpio.0/leds/HW553:blue:power/brightness

P.S. To build CFE for HW553 need also change:

"HOMEHUB2A",                            /* szBoardId */

"HW553",                            /* szBoardId */

in: /cfe_bcm63xx/shared/opensource/boardparms/bcm963xx/boardparms.c:
