OpenWRT Kamikaze pe routerul TRENDnet TEW-652BRP

Acest tutorial va arata practic cum sa schimbati sistemul de operare pe routerul wireless TRENDnet TEW-652BRP 1.0R, din cel din fabricatie care nu permite prea multe operatiuni in sistemul de operare OpenSource OpenWRT.

De ce OpenWRT:

• este un sistem de operare linux pentru dispozitive “mici”
• aveti o multime de aplicatii din care puteti alege
• se poate modifica dupa bunul plac
• se poate folosi un limbaj de programare pentru a crea diverse aplicatii

si multe altele

Mai multe informatii despre OpenWRT gasiti aici: http://www.openwrt.org/

IMPORTANT: OpenWRT functioneaza NUMAI pe versiunea 1.0R a routerului TRENDnet TEW-652BRP si nu poate functiona pe alta versiune.

Router Hardware version

Specificatii tehnice:

Procesor: Atheros AR9130

RAM: 32 MB

FLASH: 4 MB

Pentru a crea imaginea de firmware, OpenWRT trebuie compilat pe linux, e un proces destul de complicat care dureaza ceva timp in functie de performanta calculatorului de pe care se efectueaza compilarea.

Eu va ofer imaginea precompilata a OpenWRT Kamikaze (r25008), compilarea fiind efectuata azi 15 ianuarie 2011.

In aceasta imagine se gasesc urmatoarele:

- wpad, autentificator wireless FULL, client si access point

- telnetd, a fost scos pe motiv ca nu este folosit, administrarea routerului facandu-se prin interfata web

-QoS, pentru a limitarea vitezelor serviciilor/utililzatorilor/interfetelor carora li se routeaza internetul

Descarca imaginea pentru:

• instalare prin interfata web

• instalare prin interfata recovery

Intrebare: Care e diferenta intre cele 2 imgini?

Raspuns: Nu e nici o diferenta la continut, singura diferenta e ca a doua imagine se foloseste la interfata de recuperare in caz ca ceva neasteptat sa intamplat in timp ce faceati firmware upgrade iar dispozitivul nu mai porneste  (ex: sa luat curentul).

Instalarea OpenWRT:

!!!NU FACETI UPGRADE DE PE WIRELESS!!!

• descarcati ambele imagini de mai sus (in caz ca se intampla ceva neasteptat)
• intrati in pagina de administrare a routerului
• mergeti la Tools > Firmware din meniul de administrare

Tools > Firmware

• click Browse si alegeti openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tew-652brp-squashfs-factory.bin
• click Upgrade dupa care asteptati sa se instaleze imaginea; dupa ce se instalarea sa finalizat reteaua se va deconecta – conecta

Instalarea OpenWRT prin RECOVERY MODE:

• scoateti cablul de alimentare din router
• tineti apasat butonul de Reset  in timp ce bagati cablul de alimentare in router
• nu dati drumul la butonul de Reset (butonul reset trebui tinut aproximativ 30 secunde) pana cand led-ul Status al routerului nu incepe sa clipeasca repetat
• inserati cablul de retea in router si in calculator
• setati IP-ul manual in: 192.168.0.2
• intrati pe pagina de recovery la adresa: http://192.168.0.1/

Recovery Panel

• alegeti imaginea openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tew-652brp-recovery-squashfs-factory.bin, dupa care click pe Send
• cand reteaua se deconecteaza inseamna ca instalarea sa finalizat dupa care puteti seta IP-ul pe automat.

Acum puteti merge in pagina de administrare a OpenWRT pentru a va configura routerul la adresa: http://192.168.1.1

OpenWRT login

Dupa instalare nu este setata nici o parola, deci puteti da click pe Login, dupa care puteti seta o parola din System > Admin password

OpenWRT Main Admin Page

Dupa ce ati setat o parola pentru userul root, va puteti loga pentru administrarea routerului folosind protocolul SSH, folosind datele de logare din panoul de administrare.

Pe TRENDnet TEW-652BRP mai pot fi instalate urmatoarele FIRMWARE-uri:

• DD WRT – http://www.dd-wrt.com
• Firmware-ul de la D-link DIR-615 din Recovery Mode

TRENDnet TEW-652BRP este identic cu D-link DIR-615 si TEW-632BRP

Daca aveti intrebari va rog sa le postati.

Nokia E55 034.001 HACKED – RomPatcher 2.3

This tutorial will explain how to hack your Nokia E55 with the latest firmware on it 034.001. This might be an opportunity to upgrade to the latest firmware version available right now (07.06.2010) and is compatible with the previous firmware version 033.012 .  This method uses a firmware “patch”.

On Windows 7  it has been reported that the drivers won’t work correctly.

The patch for the new version 034.001 is posted bellow.

Firmware DOWNGRADING is NOT POSSIBLE. It will only BRICK your device.

For version 034.001 use the same procedure as for  031.012 version.

Update 02.04.2010:

• Fixed buggy patch file which removed Youtube, Facebook and MySpace widgets.
• If you wish to flash your phone with JAF just copy the files from rm482-033.022-patch directory (is found in patch archive) into the Nokia firmware folder of your E55 (usually is here: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\DataPackage\Products\RM-482). Replace the current files in the fw folder or make a backup of the older ones first. The files which are replaced are: rm482_033.002_U000.000_prd.uda.fpsx and rm482_033.002_U001.000_prd.uda.fpsx.
  Notice: by doing this you won’t be able to flash with Pheonix. I recomend that you avoid this method and use the Pheonix method described bellow in this article, or if you want to use JAF select the CNT file separately, in the directory where you extracted the patch files.
  

To get this job over with you need the folowing:

1. Pheonix Service Suite. Get it from here:

• Latest version: http://rapidshare.com/files/359894765/Phoenix_2010.8.exe
• http://rs724.rapidshare.com/files/330727428/Phoenix_Service_Software_2009.34.14.40684_cracked.exe

2. The firmware files for your E55 with the right version. Get it from here:

• version 031.012 here: http://rs420.rapidshare.com/files/344909090/rm482_CareDP_3.0_EUROPE_E55.exe
• version 033.002 here: http://rs858eun.rapidshare.com/files/364630037/336635/rm482_CareDP_4.0_EUROPE_E55.exe
• version 034.001 here: http://uploaded.to/file/2a3gtc/rm482_CareDP_5.0_EUROPE_E55.exe

3. The firmware patch for:

• 031.012 version. Download it from here: http://www.2shared.com/file/11299491/a73b26ac/rm482-031012-fw-patch.html
• 033.002 version. Download it from here:
  • http://www.mediafire.com/file/mykekdzn2t2/rm482-033.022-patch.rar
  • http://www.sendspace.com/file/fficfl
• 034.001 version. Download it from here:
  • http://www18.zippyshare.com/v/56489748/file.html
  • http://www.mediafire.com/file/ono14gyn44m/rm482-034.022-patch.rar
  • http://www.sendspace.com/file/ffcbl8
    

Once all of these files are downloaded, you must install Pheonix and the Firmware files for you mobile phone. DO SO! The proces is not complicated.

Just remember to close any other nokia software before running Pheonix, because it may interfere with the flashing process and you don’t want to brick your phone.

Dead USB flashing short guide:

You can start Pheonix to use Dead USB flashing by doing the following:
- start Phoenix
- go to File > Manage Connections…
- in the Priority list, move NO CONNECTION first in the list, click Apply and Close
- now go to File > Open product, select RM-482 and click Open
- go to Flashing > Firmware update, tick Dead USB flashing and follow the steps described in the tutorial.

1. We run Phoenix (All Programs > Phoenix > Phoenix)

2. Make sure your phone is connected via USB and PC Suite mode is enabled.

Step3: Find you device

3. We are now in Phoenix main menu, we go to File > Scan product… , after which if the operation is successful, the top menu and the status bar should look like in image from step 4 ( see below).

4.  Now the product is recognized and loaded by Phoenix and we are going to prepare to flash the phone with the latest version of firmware available right now and at the same time HACK IT using the firmware patch which will automatically install RomPatcher+ 2.3. Next you click Flashing > Firmware Update from the top menu after which a dialog box should pop-out.  See the image below:

Step4: Flashing e55

5. Now the flashing dialog will have poped-out listing give you multiple choices. First you must select the firmware version you want to flash (in case you don’t want to flash the auto-selected firmware). You can do so by clicking the
” … ” buton which will bring a list with all the available firmware for your model. Pick one and click OK

Step 5: Select your firmware

6. After selecting our wanted firmware for flashing we click Options > Add and we look for our patch (the one in the archive, you must unrar it first to use it ) ). It’s the one with the similar name with a file in the flash list (take a good look at before clicking Add): rm482_031.012_U000.000_prd.uda.fpsx or rm482_031.012_U001.000_prd.uda.fpsx (BTW: both are the same)

After selecting the patch file to flash, set the Type to: Content and tick Refurbish while you are in the Add file dialog box.

The flash file list should look like in the image below:

Step 6: Files to flash

Now we click OK to close the dialog box and we get ready to flash the mobile phone.

7. Now click Refurbish and wait for Pheonix to finish flashing your phone. The output should be like in the image below:

Final step: Flash complete

Doesn’t matter if you get warning or error during the flash. If you brick your phone IT CAN BE FIXED!

Click OK in the dialog, Close in the flash box, and close Phoenix, remove the data cable from your phone, configure it and go to Application > RomPatcher+ and activate the available patches.

Here is the result:

Proof: Latest firmware

Proof: RomPatcher+ Working

PSSS: I think this patch works on almost any symbian mobile phone

CHEERS TO ME

Enjoy yourself This one was a long waited hack

Please post comments ask question make sugestions.

Many thanks to PNHT team!

Instalare codecuri media pentru Fedora 10

Zilele aceasta am instalat Fedora 10 din motive persoanle pe notebook-ul meu, un Acer Aspire 5735, si nu am avut probleme la instalare, drivere le-a detectat si instalat automat. Cu alte cuvinte nu am avut nici o problema.

Inainte de a instala Fedora 10 am incercat sa instalez Ubuntu, dar am primit o eroare la instalare si nevrand sa mai insist am ales alta distributie de linux.

Trebuie sa mentionez ca pe laptop mai si Windows XP, iar sistemul de operare pe care doresc sa il incarc il aleg imediat dupa faza POST BIOS (dual boot). Un lucru frumos si intalnit astazi mai la toate distributiile linux (GRUB). Recunoaste partitiile windowsului, astefel aveti acces la fisierele de pe celalant sistem de operare, iar montarea partitiilor o face automat dupa prima accesare a lor.

Daca aveti o conexiune la internet prin LAN si un DHCP activat la retea veti avea acces la internet imediat. Dupa ce va logati in scurt timp va zbiera ca vrea update-uri, recomand sa le faceti pe cele care tin de securitatea sistemului.

De curiozate, si din plictiseala am incearcat sa ascult putina muzica, fisierele fiind in format MP3. Am cautat o melodie, si am executat 2xclick incearcad sa o deschid, sa deschis aplicatia implicita de redare a fisierelor mp3 (Totem Player) care raporta ca nu are codecuri pentru formatul MP3. Am cautat prin pachete de programe, codecuri MP3 (folosind yum) si am lasat si Totem sa caute el automat, dar nici un rezultat favorabil.

Problema e urmatoarea:

Fedora nu include programe in distributiile sale care nu indeplinesc anumite conditii privind licenta de folosire.Mai multe detalii gasiti aici (pagina la care va duce si managerul de aplicatii dupa ce da eroare): https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageKit_Items_Not_Found

Deci aceste codecururi necesare nu pot fi descarcate sau instalate de pe serverele fedora.

Solutia:

Trebuiesc adaugate si alte situri care ofera het pacaplicatii si fisierein yum, astfel veti putea instala acele programe si aplicatii care nu sunt incluse in distributiile Fedora. Pentru a parcure pasii urmatori aveti nevoie de acces root.

1. Click Aplications > Sistem Tools > Terminal
2. In fereastra care apare vom scrie:

   1. su - pentru a capata drept de root, dupa care trebuie sa tastati parola contului de root

   2. rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm - pentru a adauga in yum un nou distrbuitor de pachete

3. Acum puteti deschide un fisier MP3 cu Totem sau alt player, iar cand acesta va anunta ca trebuie un anumit codec, dati sa caute codecul pe care il va gasi in noua lista de distributie adaugata.

Ce va recomanda este sa instalati VLC Media Player pe motivul ca suporta multe formate media, iar instalarea sa va duce la instalare si altor codecuri si librarii necesare redarii video/audio.
