FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7170 firmware is incompatible with the recovery firmware

Try to run "fritz_as_avme_newer.tar" before doing the recovery.

@kunio:

In order to help you, we need to know what happens to your FritzBox.
The values of the following environment parameters are of special interest:
- parameter annex (value can be "B" or "A")
- parameter HWRevision (value can be "94" or "127")
- parameter firmware_version (value can be "avm" or "avme")
- parameter kernel_args (value can be "not set" or "annex=A")

These parameter are accessible by using the command "quote GETENV" via ftp / adam2.
Access is possible via telnet, too. Here you need the command "cat /proc/sys/urlader/environment"

Try to find out the present value of these parameters and post them here.

hi, this my info

quote GETENV HWRevision 94.1.0.0
quote GETENV ProductID Fritz_box_7170
quote GETENV annex B
quote GETENV firmware_version avm
quote GETENV firmware_info 24.04.59
quote GETENV bootloaderVersion 1.136
quote GETENV urlader-version 1136
quote GETENV prompt AVM_Ar7
quote GETENV kernel_args annex=B

@kunio:

That looks fine! These values are correct to recover with firmware AnnexB in german.

In order to downgrade to english firmware 24.04.57 you must change the parameter "firmware_version" from "avm" to "avme". This is what the pseudo image "fritz_as_avme_newer.tar" does, too.

If you want AnnexB, don't change any more.
If you want AnnexA, set the parameter "kernel_args" to the value "annex=A"

To change the parameters with ftp / adam2, use the command "quote SETENV".

With the new values, run recovery file "... 24.04.57.en.recover-image.exe"

Good luck!

Hi,
i need to change from Annex B to annex A some one can help me please???

 

[el_valiente]

... change from Annex B to annex A ...

You already know! (see postings #10 to #13):
Enter ftp/adam2 and set "kernel_args annex=A"
You can do it loading "fritz_as_annex_a_kernel_args_newer.tar", too.

[kunio]

yes i now i have changed but dosen't work i cant upgrade i have same message this firmware is uncompatible...

 

[el_valiente]

... i cant upgrade i have same message this firmware is uncompatible ...

Please decribe your problem! You said "finaly it's WORKING yeahhh!!!" - so what is the problem?

If you refer to the error message while upgrading with "fritz_as_annex_a...": Just ignore it and continue! The error message is normal.
