Telco f/w Locked RBK50

[zahi_k]

Hello,

I own an RBK50 system with F/W 2.1.4.16_1.1.31

my product is being sold by a Telco Provider. hence, it have a custom OLD firmware with a security lock that is preventing the upgrade unless it is signed by my Telco.
Netgear won't be able to support; My Telco as well.

is there an alternate way or backdoor to drop the latest f/w.

Thanks

Can you TFTP flash in your own firmware?

He many need to use the burn board id command, if the ISP changed the board ID otherwise it won’t work even with a tftp flash. I’m hoping you don’t need to go that route.
