Command Line Access
8 March, 2012 - 13:17
Trying to get HAH up and runnoing on my Livebox. Using the instructions on DBZoo
I've managed to downgrade my livebox to v5.03.3-uk
Next it says I need to get command line access
I can access the livebox through the brower and have changed the network settings to
10.0.0.1 etc
PC is set to 10.0.0.2 etc
Downloaded the etc.tar file on step 4
after that it has some command line code. What do I do with that?
I can't connect to the livebox with filezilla server or command prompt - Telnet
It mentions changing the Livebox name then shows more code.
Thanks in advance

Step 4
So, the ftp area is on your PC. The etc.tar MUST be renamed as 'u' (single character, lower case), not 'U' or 'u.tar'.
at step 5, the Livebox name needs to be set to ;cd /etc;wget ftp://10.0.0.2/u
This line is executed when the Livebox box next reboots. It causes the Livebox to get the file 'u' from your PC (via the ftp server) into the Livebox directory '/etc'.

You know that the ftp has worked ...
... when you see the logfile from your FTP Server (running on your PC) showing the Livebox making the request to get the 'u' file and the FTP server replying by serving the file from the PC to the Livebox.

Configure Filezilla Server
It sounds like you've not used an FTP server before. You must configure the FTP Server before it will work ... things like users and shared folders need to be setup.
Do read the documentation that is supplied with the FTP server.
... and if all else fails, you can always buy a pre-flashed HAH box :-)

FTP Server needs to be setup
You must configure the FTP access for the 'anonymous' user and make sure that the 'u' file is in the default storage area for this user. You do this on the PC.
Take a little time to read the FTP Server user-guide and understand how the ftp server works.

Welcome
Congratulations and welcome to the HAH owners club! I found FileZilla the worst bit and struggled at first. However, sometimes good old trial and error is the best way to learn.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Still finding new stuff to do with it!!

Is the 'u' file in the correct location?
It sounds as if the Livebox is able to talk to your ftp server OK. However, when the Lvebox makes the request to get the file named 'u', it cannot be found on the ftp server.
Make sure that the file is available in the root of your ftp area, that permissions are set to allow access to this area and that the filename is in lowercase.
Cheers,
Derek.

Hi Stressed, basically as
Hi Stressed, basically as Derek said, make sure you have completed this step
Download etc.tar from http://www.dbzoo.com/_media/livebox/etc.tar
rename etc.tar to "u"
use FTP to copy the "u" file to the Root of the livebox
then you can complete the name change as follows
Browse to Router - 10.0.0.1
Configuration - Advanced - Wireless
Change Livebox name to - ;cd /etc;wget ftp://10.0.0.2/u
Submit
Remember to check the FTP Logs for "RETR u" before completing the next step

Completely confused by your
Completely confused by your last update. I have no idea why you are using 7z to extract this file and how that can related to the 226 transfer OK message from the FTP server logs. What you are trying to accomplish at a high level is this
You need to get the file "u" onto your livebox - you can see from the wiki page if this is successful the FTP logs will show
(000001) 21/05/2010 11:11:41 - anonymous (10.0.0.1)> RETR u
(000001) 21/05/2010 11:11:41 - anonymous (10.0.0.1)> 150 Opening data channel for file transfer.
(000001) 21/05/2010 11:11:41 - anonymous (10.0.0.1)> 226 Transfer OK
Once you have done that you have to extract its contents, again you need to change the hostname and reboot to trick the system into now extracting this file you've transfered.
As the Firmware is locked down this must be done it TWO steps using the livebox hostname as the backdoor, this is what you are trying to do here.. If the "u" file is there then you are step away.
In 'Configuration->Advanced->Wireless', change the Livebox Name to
;cd /etc; tar xf u
We would make this easier if we could but this is what we have - if you are having problems here you really need to watch you step when you have to update the redboot firmware as a mistep here will render you a brick.

These are the high level steps - http://www.dbzoo.com/livebox/hah_installation
On the high level you are on step 2. - Gain command line access
This has sub-steps after step 4 which you said you completed did you proceed with steps 5 and 6 too ?
http://www.dbzoo.com/livebox/commandlineaccess
And then after sub step 6 (of command line access) you need to do
High level step 3. http://www.dbzoo.com/livebox/buildingfirmware#replacing_the_redboot_loader
I think this need to be tidied up a little, its broken up like this as this is how it happened when doing the work.
