Fritzbox 7170 change from International to German firmware ?

igac · 25 Aug 2008

Hy,

I have just bought 7170 and would like to have builtin fax function and at the moment only the german version has it.
Is there any possibility to flash it with german firmware and how ?
I have little understanding of german so interface language is not such a big problem.

Thanks

Igor

Hi,

first of all welcome to this forum! It should be possible to convert your FB to german firmware. Unfortunately I don´t know how, but this thread is about the opposite way, I think you´ll find your answers there.

In the thread http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=168956 you'll find exactly what you are looking for - in English written by "babbel00" and in German from myself - supposing that your box is an originally Annex A box

My box is an originally Annex B box, what is the procedure in that case ?
Is it enough to change firmware files in the procedure or ?
I want it to stay Annex B but with German firmware?

You must rebrand it from now avme (english interface) to avm (german). I recomend to do that with TELEFONICUS archive "fritz_as_avm_newer.tar" (www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?p=971638#post971638) - upload this like an upgrade. Disregard any warning. Finally you will get a message saying that upgrading was not successful - disregard this either.

BEFORE doing this rebranding download from AVM ftp server (ftp://ftp.avm.de/fritz.box/fritzbox.fon_wlan_7170/x_misc/deutsch) the corresponding German RECOVER-image.exe: FRITZ.Box_Fon_WLAN_7170.04.57.recover-image.exe

After rebranding you will NOT BE ABLE to access the interface until you succesfully did a RECOVER with this recover-image. Observe exactly the procedure for the recovery procedure.

After successful recover unplug the box for 2 minutes and plug it in again. You should now have the German interface with fw 04.57 for annex B
