4 edits |  [Unlock] TUTORIAL: VONAGE WRTP54G/RTP300 WITH 5.01.04
I have noticed that the information for unlocking the WRTP54G is scattered around in various threads. I am going to try and condense all of this information and make it as easy as possible to help unlock a Vonage/Linksys WRTP54G with 5.01.04 firmware. This is a multi-step process that will require downgrading and then finally upgrading to the WRTP54G-NA firmware.
EDIT: Please refer to the 4th post down for unlocking the RTP300.
Disclaimer: I am by no means taking credit for any of this. All of the hard work is credited to jetzhu  , Velund , the author(s) of CYT, and anyone else I missed. I also do not take any responsibility if you brick your device. Do this procedure at your own risk!
Step 1: Downloads
1. Download Firefox and install the Web Developer Plugin.
»www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
»https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60
2. Download and install TFTP32. This is a Windows based TFTP server that will push the firmware to the device.
»tftpd32.jounin.net/download/Tftp···etup.exe
3. Download the following ZIP file and extract to the folder TFTP32 was installed in (ex. C:\Program Files\TFTP32). It will contain some of the necessary files that will be required for this unlock procedure.
»rapidshare.com/files/145934487/v···zip.html
4. Download CYT.
»/r0/download/1···in32.zip
5. Download the modified WRTP54G-NA 3.1.17 firmware from the following website. Disregard the instructions on that website.
»celiom.googlepages.com/linksys
Step 2: Configure TFTP32
1. Run TFTP32. Click settings, and then setup the base directory. Use the directory you installed the program (ex. C:\Program Files\TFTP32) and make sure the extracted files from the ZIP are in this directory. Change security to none, and set the timeout and max retransmit to 10 and then hit OK.
Step 3: Unlock the Console using Ping Hack
1. Make sure you have downloaded everything from step 1 and ensure the wr file from the ZIP is in the TFTP32 folder. Now disconnect from the internet and connect directly to the WRTP54G making sure the device is also not connected to the internet (ie. pull the Ethernet cord out of the WAN port). Also make sure to disable any Anti-Virus and firewall programs that may be running.
2. Use a paperclip and hard reset the WRTP54G (hold reset for 10-15 seconds). Go to »192.168.15.1 with the username/pass of admin/admin. Go to Wireless and disable it. Once the router restarts go to Administration >> Ping. Also make sure TFTP32 is running.
3. On the Ping popup, right click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths.
Enter the following and click Ping.
Right Click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths. Enter the following and click Ping.
Right Click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths. Enter the following and click Ping.
After a few seconds you should see some information in the output box. Scroll down to the last line and look for CONSOLE_STATE unlocked. If you see this you are good to go. Go to the next post below to continue the unlock procedure. |

Step 4: Downgrading Firmware to 1.00.62
1. Ensure that the rf file and von10062.bin from the ZIP archive are in the TFTP32 folder. Power cycle the WRTP54G by unplugging (5 seconds) and replugging the power. Ensure that the wireless is still OFF.
2. Log back into the router and go to Administration >> Ping. Also make sure TFTP32 is running.
3. On the Ping popup, right click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths.
Enter the following and click Ping.
Right Click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths. Enter the following and click Ping.
Right Click >> Web Developer >> Forms >> Remove Maximum Lengths. Enter the following and click Ping.
You should now see a file transfer in progress under TFTP32. After the firmware has been transferred the power light on the WRTP54G will start to blink if everything is successful. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS. IT MAY TAKE UP TO 2-4 MINUTES TO COMPLETE. WAIT FOR THE POWER LIGHT TO RETURN SOLID AND FOR AN ETHERNET LINK TO BE ESTABLISHED.
Step 5: Unlock with CYT and Load New Firmware
1. Login to the router using admin/admin and leave this window open. Ensure that firmware 1.00.62 has loaded successfully.
2. Open cyt35.exe. Select Option 1. Wait for CYT to provision the WRTP54G. The output for a successful provision will be fairly obvious. This process will take 1-2 minutes.
3. Open a new window and head over to »192.168.15.1/update.html. Login with Admin/Admin or admin/admin.
4. Locate the modified WRTP54G-NA 3.1.17 firmware and initiate the upgrade process. Wait a few minutes and the device will reset itself and take you back to the login page. Username and pass should be admin/admin. Ensure that the firmware is 3.1.17.
Congrats. You now have a fully unlocked WRTP54G! |

Thanks, no problem. Yes this method will work for the RTP300, but some files need to be substituted. Other than that follow the directions above for the rest of the unlock procedure.
1. Download the following to replace the von10062.bin file contained in the ZIP archive at Step 1 - Part 3. Rename this new file back to von10062.bin. To ensure a proper download use a DOS prompt. The wr and rf files from the ZIP archive are still used for the RTP300.
»httpconfig.vonage.net/rt-11.1.0-···0327.img
or
The DOS prompt will take 5-10 min. The file size is 3,866,632 bytes.
2. This is the RTP300-NA Firmware and will take the place of the firmware at Step 1 - Part 5 and Step 5 - Part 4. Go to the following website, locate and download the firmware. After that you must edit the file for it to run on the RTP300. Use a hex editor and change offset 0x17 from 4D to 4C and offset 0x3B0004 from 85 DA 20 BB to 3B A5 4D DA
»www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellit···ondetail
P.S. - When using the hex editor simply overwrite the file once you are finished. |

Once the change is made to unlock a Vonnage RTP300, do I lose all of my setting for the port 1 Vonnage information? |

| I am not overly concerned with the TOS... What I am concerned about is that fact that I have an additional port that I could be using in conjunction with my asterisk box, and I have no access to make changes.
Unfortunately, I am stuck with Vonnage for historically reasons, but I really need access to my second port. |

Unfortunately, I am stuck with Vonnage for historically reasons, but I really need access to my second port. You should be concerned about it. When Vonage pushes an update, it will (1) be rejected, or (2) overwrite your settings. They do have the ability to access information on the box, so if they feel you violated the TOS, they'll cancel your account, charge you termination for violation of the TOS, and the whole reason you stayed with them will go up in smoke. |

I am a newbie in the Voip Unlocking world. You are telling the entire process, step by step marvelously. One thing you miss though is whether the device from Vonage (in my case RTP300) will be opened and we will be able to see the entire page with User id & Password, domain and port OR does this process wash every setting that was made by the provider and once we do it, we will just be able to use this device with other providers and not (or maybe) with Vonage? I understand your concern about legalities, which do not bother me as such. All I want to do it to be able to see the following:
User ID (generally 1+my Vonage phone number)
Password
Domain
Port (generally 5060 or 5061)
My Firmware version is 5.01.04 or maybe 5.01.14, basically it is the latest firmware. My understanding is that this information is contained under the disabled (by Vonage) Voice button on device's page.
Any help, and I will pray for you, your ancestors, and your later generations. |

| You will lose all settings and Vonage will not re-provision the device. This process should only be done with routers that are no longer being used with Vonage. Once the device is unlocked you can use it with any BYOD SIP based VoIP providers.
Unfortunately with 5.01.04, I am unaware of a process that will allow you to view the VoIP/SIP settings when the device is in use with Vonage. |

That is a hex edit that will allow the router to accept the non-Vonage firmware. Not too sure what you are trying to get at. |

Re: [Unlock] TUTORIAL: VONAGE WRTP54G WITH 5.01.04
Could you please let me know how to change the values using Hex Editor, I've done all the changes until this step, mine is RTP300. I opened this Image file using the hex editor and I can see lot of values, but don't really know how and where to change it, please help
"Use a hex editor and change offset 0x17 from 4D to 4C and offset 0x3B0004 from 85 DA 20 BB to 3B A5 4D DA" |
