Unlocking BT Home Hub V1 *Upgrade at your own risk*

[WILT]

Hi,

Ive tried all the combinations suggested to no avail.

Ive also checked the ZZMYAA6.196.bli file I downloaded from this site and it doesnt correspond to line 1 or line 130 as quoted in the post earlier in this thread .Could it have been corrupted during download and would that stop me accessing the firmware ? and if so can the situation be recovered?

Hi Again,

I wish someone could explain this to me - after not accepting any passwords
all day and having virtually given up on it.i reverted to my BT 105 usb modem to come on here to seek further guidance.That too now refused to log onto the ISP so I plugged the hub back in and rebooted. I am now typing this in on a ,
presumably, Unlocked hub (the 105 is not connected to the telephone line).
I still cannot Telnet into the hub on 192.168.1.254 though so I cant be sure W.T.H.'s going on ! any ideas?
WILT.

hello

I'm trying to configure v 6.1.9.6 to work with VOIPdiscount

which SIP settings are:

SIP port : 5060
Registrar : sip.voipdiscount.com
Proxy server : sip.voipdiscount.com
Outbound proxy server : leave empty
Account name : your VoipDiscount username
Password : your VoipDiscount password
Display name/number : your VoipDiscount username or voipnumber
Stunserver (option) : stun.voipdiscount.com

have tried telnetting in and "voice profile add" as instructions for v 6.2.2.6

but get "endnamepoint" as first
and have no idea how to proceed from here

would be happy to upgrade firmware to 6.2.2.6 if I could find it

would also love to use USB printer on hub (lexmark 4350) -
had no joy so far

any help would be much appreciated

cheers

@ WILT.

I took the liberty to move your posts to a thread of its own. Your present problems arent really related to unlocking the HH, so I created a new thread here.......

Apologies for the incovenience.

hi, been following this for a while now. got it all working just fine on aol. now im not to botherd about the voip thing but it would be nice to get the hub phone registerd to the hub so i can use it to make normal calls on my landline like i did before i left bt. any ideas folks???????

Does anyone know how to get REAL root access to this thing?

I've done what it says in http://www.homehubblog.com/getting-root-the-easy-way/
and the admin account is now shown as SuperUser rather than Administrator.

If I ncftp into it and try to 'ls' the root of the file system, it comes back with:-

.: Permission denied

telnetting into it just gives me that stupid pseudo-shell which is about as much use as a chocolate teapot.

The /etc/passwd file is as follows:

root::0:0:Super User:/:/bin/sh
nobody:*:1:1:nobody:/:/bin/sh

In line with normal UNIX practice, this should mean that I can log in as root with no password but that doesn't work.

Is there any way of logging into the thing and getting a proper /bin/sh with root access?

[silver]

can you edit the password file, is there an /etc/shadow file?

There is no /etc/shadow file.

I was fighting with hub 3 days.Finally i've upgrade it to 7g abd as many people here want to configure hub phone with some Voip provider.Does anyboddy did it yet? I cant register handset to base. Does any boddy has any idea gow to use printer or usb hdd over hub?

I can only comment on how BT Sets this, as I get my VoIP from BT (Through my recently hacked BT HomeHub to work through Virgin Media (Or NTL/Telewest whatever you wanna call it))

But BT sets the Information like this:

URI: 44123456789 (Whatever phone number they gave you, instead of 0 put 44)
Username: <Phone-Number>@btisp.bt.com

So I would assume the URI is just the username without the @domain bit

(If anyone is wondering, Yes you can use BT VoIP through other providers they do allow you buying from them being with a diff ISP)

hi there,


i've stumbled onto this thread and as a result of reading it have ebayed a cheap hub to play with. i'm thinking that it would be a lot easier to get into playing / hacking these things if the information was a little bit easier to trawl through.

i would be happy to set up a wiki site to store all the guides / experiences on and would happily pay for bandwidth / hosting / a domain if people were receptive to adding to it (as i have precisely zero experience with the hub so far).

what are people's thoughts?

cheers,


Andrew

Hi I have some software that should unlock the bt home hub. I have no idea how to send it to someone to look through and check it out. I have been told it does work from a number of people. so if anyone would tell me how or who I send it to so you can put it somewhere everyone can find that would be great. many thanks lisa

hey, this is fantastic. you should certainly wiki it.

im thanking all of you, especially the guide on page 12. i thank you for saving me many hours of pain. what would top it off is th VoIP, then all would be perfect

Hi all,
For those who want to downgrade there Home Hub.
Here's the 6.1.1.R and 6.1.1.M firmwares, along with the speedtouch up/downgrade utility.
www.iol.ie/~glennp/warez/HUBDOWNGRADE.zip

Once you have the firmware you want to use, Telnet into the home hub and type this:

cwmp config state=disabled
cwmp config periodicInform=disabled

No more auto upgrades :o)

Keep an eye on www.routertech.org they're also working on the Hub...

The hippy

As for sip settings I use freecall but I will be changing to voipbusterpro very soon, but these are the settings I use, Im sure you can change the values to get yours to work.

{admin}=>voice sip config primproxyaddr=sip.voiparound.com

thanks adamG - was nearly giving up

reflashed my hub using ZZN1AA6.196.bin rather
than the other firmware which has given me many more
VOIP settings in the GUI tho still haven't got to work
will try your suggestion

just my luck I have a lexmark
doing an IPP prnlist command shows that
the lexmark is at least recognised there tho not as a printer
(although mentions printer later in specs)

{Administrator}=>ipp prnlist
Connected Device is not a printer
MFG:Lexmark;CMD:CPDNPA003;MODEL: 4300 Series;CLASS:Printer;DES:Lexmark 4300 Seri
es;
Paper Not Empty

No Error

[simonastro]

works a treat - thank you

now just got to persuade the handset to
use voip and not my landline!

[simonastro]

to clarify - cant get hub to go into dect register mode

cant get voip telephony to work through phone1 port
only through dect

hmmm

been following this thread for some time after hearing I would be getting a BT Home Hub, finally got it today and successfully flashed it with the SpeedTouch 7G firmware using the information here and it works well

Would be nice to get the hub phone working with it somehow, I might have a use for the phone in the future

Hi guys, is there a step by step instruction on how to use the HH as a simple Wireless Access point. I have the Virgin Media Modem and I just want to use the HH to beam the internet. I've tried putting the ethernet cable into the HH from the modem but nothing much is going on. Any help?

Cheers in advance

[Kyle]

I managed to get this to work as well, the exact commands for anybody else intrested in doing this are below.

:ip rtadd dst=0.0.0.0 gateway=192.168.1.1 intf=LocalNetwork
:dns client dnsadd addr=192.168.1.1
:dns server config WANDownSpoofing=disabled
:dns server route add dns=192.168.1.1 intf=LocalNetwork
:voice config intf=LocalNetwork
:system config defaultconnection=LocalNetwork
:config save filename=user

Obviously you will need to change 192.168.1.1 to the IP of your router and make sure you have the correct IP subnets, hope this helps.

Do i connect the homehub to the new router or just the phone line into the wall via the phone socket? basicly its the cabling/connection between the hubs voip phone and new router i need to find out so that i can actually get my dad to let me change from our homehub.

Sup guys, I just got pwned by my noobishness.

Here's what happened:

I'm on 6.2.2.6, followed the instructions from this page - http://www.homehubblog.com/getting-root-the-easy-way/ -

But I made three mistakes.

1) I didn't copy down the remote assistance url
2) I didn't copy down the Tech account password
3) I changed name=admin instead of role=Administrator
4) I only realised the third mistake after I restored the file to the router (LOL)

Help?

[bb_matt]

Firstly, excuse me if this has already been posted and if I'm way off track.

(Background - I'm switching to a new ISP and don't have the cash for a new router, so I need to be able to use the Home Hub to connect)

Following the link provided in this forum:-

http://www.homehubblog.com/getting-root-the-easy-way/

I've enabled SuperUser mode.

Skimming through the router ini file, this section seemed interesting:

[ ppp.ini ]
ifadd intf=Internet
rtadd intf=Internet dst=0.0.0.0/0 src=0.0.0.0/0 metric=10
ifconfig intf=Internet dest=atm_Internet accomp=enabled mru=1500 doddelay=120 dnsmetric=10
ifconfig intf=Internet user=bthomehub@btbroadband.com status=enabled

Specifically, the user= part.

If I changed that to my username of my current provider, all I'd need to do is to add a password entry.

Doing a search for speedtouch ppp.ini on Google, yielded this forum post:-

http://forums.speedguide.net/showthread.php?t=154472

and this entry into the config for a speedtouch 510:

[ ppp.ini ]
ifadd intf=ppp
rtadd intf=ppp dst=0.0.0.0/0 src=10.0.0.40/1 metric=1
ifconfig intf=ppp dest=ppp user=MYLOGIN password=xxxxxx proto=pppoe encaps=llc accomp=on addrtrans=pat status=up
ifattach intf=ppp

It seems to me, that adding my user login from my new ISP and inserting a password could possibly work?

e.g.

ifconfig intf=Internet user=myusername@myisp password=xxxxxx status=enabled

I can't try this until Friday, because my new ISP activation is due on that date.

Any idea if this would work, or am I really missing something here?

(IOW - it's already been done, or it won't work because of X)

[prso82]

I have problems with the Hub resetting itself and have had a replacement and still does this. Both were running 6.2.2.6

A problem with the power socket has been ruled out, anyone got any ideas ?

cheers

[ollyolly]

guys, just scanning through everything, is http://www.littlehome.co.uk/homehub/homehub.html
the guide to follow to go about changing the hub to allow another isp.

just trying to get tiscali to work through it and connect wireless to a ibook, i know its prob all posted up but if anyone can just point to were i need to look that would be fantastic

[bb_matt]

No, that isn't the guide to changing ISP.

If someone could point me to that as well (read my post above), that would be good - there's so much scattered information about this hub, it's hard to determine what works and what doesn't - and I really don't want to brick my hub

It seems I have a later version of the Hub, so the guide in this thread probably won't work for me, I'm hoping my previous idea gets an answer - I'll know for sure whether it'll work on Friday 1st June.

The HH I have does seem to support any DynDNS settings through the web interface.
There was a mention somewhere on this thread about DynDNS being available in the 6.2.2.6 revison and was this through the web or just the telnet?

Also the NAT port routing (aka game and application sharing seems incredibly convoluted) . I am running a multi homed server in the sense of multiple IP addresses on a single NIC and because my HH only "discovers" one of the IP addresses, incoming requests to the other addresses ("devices") don't get serviced.
(my Vigor 2600 handles all of this with a minimum of configuration effort, one table)

I would like to put the HH in to get a single platform for VOIP, Wireless and local ethernet network (I am using BT BB services) but not sure if the configuration hassle is worth it. (even for a second phone line for free evening and weekend calls!)

Can anyone clarify what features are enabled in which firmware and whether these are accessible through the web interface or the telnet interface and whether I need to set up a Superuser to get access?

Regards

Hi guys....

Simple question im sure -

Im trying to flash my 6.1.1.R HH with the 7g drivers. Im following Zeniths step by step - and all goes well until the Software tries to put the router into 'Upgrade Mode'. The router seems to switch off (a small click and the lights go off) then the progress bar slowly creeps to 100...then the router turns itself back on (lights back on as initialising and small click) and the Upgrade Software reports

The wizard was unable to......

The device is not responding during discovery

Ive tried a fair few times and keep getting the same message.

(Ive packet captured the process...seems after logon and discovery my computer is sending a single packet over and over with no reply - until it seemingly times out and loses connectivity due to the hardware reset)

Any help greatly appreciated!

Sup guys - I found out that the "Press [s]butan receive bacon[/s] and hold button for 20 seconds" reset did the trick! =D
