**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 04 02:59:58 2013 Jan 04 20:51:41 hi all. what should i do next after getting the error "This is not a FON upgrade image or hotfix. Retry with another file", while trying to fix a failedsafe fon 2.0g? i tried and checked and rechecked the tar.gz file. tryed several ones, the newer, plus up to oktopussy and catarpillar. any ideas? Jan 04 20:54:43 btw, yes, i did NOT untar or ungzip the firmware Jan 04 21:10:46 nikopol_: Weird. I remember there are some (very early?) 2.0g Foneras that had a broken failsafe image, perhaps you have one of those? Jan 04 21:11:15 There might be a redboot recovery option, but IIRC that one was broken for some 2.0g Foneras as well Jan 04 21:11:22 could be. i remember i bought one very early Jan 04 21:12:21 nikopol_: You could try the redboot recovery instructions here: http://oldwiki.fon.com/wiki/Firmware_Update_Instructions#Redboot_interface Jan 04 21:12:54 nikopol_: If that doesn't work (because redboot is not configured to listen on the network), I think you should be able to go for the final option using a serial connection Jan 04 21:13:11 which requires soldering on a serial connector and having a USB -> TTL serial converter Jan 04 21:13:49 Here's some details about that: http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/wiki/serial Jan 04 21:14:18 thanks matthijs.... i'll try the redboot option.... and if it fails, i'll check the hard option :) thanks again Jan 04 21:14:19 Here's a more redboot documentation: http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/wiki/redboot Jan 04 21:14:35 nikopol_: I gotta run now, let me know if you get it to work Jan 04 21:14:44 i will. thanks and see ya soon **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jan 05 02:59:59 2013
