You can do this with the CFE, not the BSP, but just for your information, you backup and flash with the options bsp, for ex. Is any NON JTAG way to flash the BSP.BIN ? Tornado: what are the correct options in Tjtag to do this? I edited a copy of the (VxWorks) BSP.BIN with my Hex Editor (in Overwrite mode) and will try to flash it soon using the Tjtag utility! Thanks RedHawk0 and Tornado for your info. Posted: Sat 13:00 Post CFE is in hyour mailbox, thanks a lot for helping The Gv8 and GSv7 macs can be changed like RedHawk said, but it is a lengthy process, both the original BSP and CFE macs can be changed. Posted: Sat 4:07 Post the Gv8 and GSv7, the mac address's in the original VxWorks BSP are copied to the new CFE during the installation of the new CFE, there could be a mis-read that could cause this, I would have to look a little further to answer this. Can you send me a backup of your original CFE and the address on your router JTAG support - Donate a router Posted: Sat 4:01 Post do not believe your mac has been permanatly changed, because on that router, DD-WRT does not touch the CFE. That is.if he doesn't read this first and respond before I can get in touch with him. It won't really help me much.I don't have a V8 unit myself.however, I'll bring it up with Tornado the next time I am talking to him and ask about the MAC being off by one on the status page. Shout me if I can help by sending the CFE. I did not change the MAC address manually, however the address shown on the status page is different in the last hex char (shows xx:FE on the status page, xx:FD on the label). I have a wrt54g v8, if you want redhawk, I can send you the CFE file. If you screw it up.you could be buying new hardware. Manipulating the cfe in this fashion is always very risky.

(Tornado would know better than I regarding the vxworks bootloader)Īs of right now.I only know how to modify a dd-wrt cfe.bin file. The V8's vxworks bootloader is one that I couldn't find the encrypted or embedded MAC address in.so to go back to original with Linksys firmware on the V8 might not be possible. You would have to extract the cfe.edit it using a Hex Editor.then JTAG it back to the flash chip.then tftp firmware back to the router. Here's the thing.if the cfe is replaced with one that has an incorrect MAC address.then this is permanent. The thing is that I want to change the MAC in the original bin bootloader because it got automatically changed when I installed the dd-wrt a while ago as the earlier poster stated.Īlso I know there is an easy method in dd-wrt to temporarly change the MAC in NVRAM with a command, but IS temporarly NOT permanent! I'm sorry to hijack this thread but I think these issues are somehow related. When I d/l cfe.bin as described by redhawk I see the 88:88:88 address in there and not my original Linksys MAC.ĭoes that confirm that a dd-wrt flash has permanently changed my MAC address? And if so, it most be able to get it back by doing a new dd-wrt flash with the correct MAC address in it? Al efforts to get back the MAC address on my "sticker" has failed, including numerous hard reset and "erase nvram" from the *nix prompt. When I flashed my WRT350N with dd-wrt a few days ago my MACaddress was *permanently* changed to 00:88:88:88:00:2A, I didn't think a normal flash could change it. Located here is the vxworks_killer file for the V8 unit.and instructions for installing dd-wrt on the V8. Then we can manipulate the MAC address if desired.

The process is to "kill" the vxworks bootloader first.which will install a cfe, install firmware. You can't change the MAC until dd-wrt is installed. This unit has no dd-wrt installed on it yet. OK.after analysing the "cfe" file sent.Tornado informed me that this is the ORIGINAL vxworks bootloader file.not a cfe. Location: Wherever the wind blows- North America
