Hello!
I have gought a german Fritx 7050 and I find it gorgeous, anyway, I decided convert it into english version.
In this forum I have learned a popular method of changing into ENG interface in Fritz 7050 from the post #167 (telefonicus), but I tried another one.
The preparation to a procedure of 'my' procedure is identical as by telefonucus:
* LAN adapter has a fixed IP address, e.g. 192.168.178.5
* Disabling any IP-filtering or firewall
* accessing the LAN directly (not through an application software), PC <-> LAN A with the red cable
* set in Fritz menu DLS activated and WLAN deactivated
The only difference between both methods is in the telnet comand - this is:
echo "firmware_version avme" > /proc/avalanche/env
what changes only branding, not annex A (for this is another command: 'echo "annex A" > /proc/avalanche/env' which, for my knowledge, can be used after having ENG interface).
I get finally:
OEM='avme'
OEM_DEFAULT_INDEX=''
OEM_tmp='avme'
Language='de'
Country='049'
TZ='CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0'
CONFIG_AB_COUNT='3'
CONFIG_ANNEX='B'
They say this command is enough to get an ENG interface, but I have a problem :-(
The problem is:
1 - if I have a factory set "avm", I can load ONLY (deutsch) version 'fritz.box_fon_wlan_7050.04.15.recover-image.exe', this is loaded without hasitation, but - NO OTHER version of deutsch recover.exe can be loaded (result: still searching 192.168.178.2) !;
2 - loading this version (04.15.) in avme, the Fritz IS QUICKLY FOUND, but loading is finally stoped for incompability (OK)
3 - having changed to avme, NO ENG recover.exe is loaded (I tried 'fritz.box_fon_wlan_7050.en.04.26.recover-image.exe'). I was trying 10 times in one approache or with rebooting PC.
- Does anyone know this method? What am I doing wrong?
- Does anyone know english recover.exe annex B version 04.15 what probably will make me possible to load successfuly? - any link? - or any other english versions instead?
