Issue with Ap51-flash

Post by Eric »

Several people have confirmed that the new Beta 4 firmware does, in fact, work on both the Fon+ and Fon2. However, the Ap51-flash utility many people have used to successfully install the Beta 3 firmware no longer works for installing Beta 4 on the Fon+ and Fon2.

I am currently working on modifying this utility to work with Beta 4, but until I get a version working, you should either flash the Beta 4 firmware manually by using telnet to connect to RedBoot, or stick with Beta 3.

UPDATE: 01/26/2009 Some people have reported that Ap51-flash does in fact work with Beta 4, while others have reported that it does not. Evidently, your mileage may vary. If I find a reliable solution, I'll post it here.

UPDATE: 03/14/2009 I can finally confirm that reports of AP51flash not working can be attributed to user error. I obtained the router of the person reporting problems (I swapped him a working fon+ for the one he was having problems with), and it seems to flash without problems.
