MANUAL: How to compile a firmware for the WL-700g from the GPL 1.0.4.2

[MoD]

I'm thinking about two possibilities:

1) your version. try firmware restoration tool. or reset router after upgrade?!
2) old busybox that doesnt support telnetd

I changed busybox from Oleg's firmware. Trying to compile now.

My version isn't really working yet

Perhaps I'll connect the harddrive to a normal PC to see weather there are stored some configs or not...

I changed firmware version. At least it appeared on web interface...

[MoD]

I noticed that WL700gE in web pages use ash shell. Telnetd by default uses whitch one? does that makes sense?

recompiled with busybox from Oleg's source. The result wasn't succesfull

on the wl700ge, the telnetd is "/bin/utelnetd",you can try to start it. I had telnet to 700ge one month ago using a stupid method.

1. modify the web started page fils ( /layout/layout.cgi ) from neighbor.
2. add " /bin/utelnetd &" on the page, need carefully the add location.
3. reload the web starting page.

ps.
1.this method worked on firmware 1.0.4.1, didn't check on better or new
2.if we can write utelnetd on starting process, will easy to telnet . becase this method will been cleared whe you reboot.

you can contact with me by IM ( see the userCP).
my new firmware didn't finish , still have some problem.

[MoD]

You are right! there is utelnetd in /bin directory. I'll try to use this daemon. but for this daeomn the full syntax is:

/bin/utelnetd -l /bin/sh -d

The question is if the parameter -l /bin/sh is important? I'll try to use /bin/utelnetd -d

[MoD]

1. modify the web started page fils ( /layout/layout.cgi ) from neighbor.
2. add " /bin/utelnetd &" on the page, need carefully the add location.

where is that layout.cgi located? I cant find in my router
what do you mean with

, need carefully the add location.

Please find attachement with the code how to launch utelnetd daemon.

I can compile the firmware, flash it but telnet daemon doesnt work. Can anyone help me? What is wrong with that? I have three versions:

1) something with firewall rules.
2) something with firmware upgrade - the firmware isnt upgraded actually.
3) something with execution permitions or daemon parameters (maybe telnet daemon doesnt like shell or login cedentials)

The third is most likely because if there were a problem, hmantsao wouldnt be able to start telnet from web page and I have chaged firmware version number. It appears on web interface - firmware has changed.

any ideas?

you could add it in index.cgi like this:

#!/bin/ash
################flag
/bin/utelnetd &

I have found out a few new things.

-First you don't have to change the 3 files just add broadcom/src/linux/linux/scripts/cramfs to your PATH

-Second you don't have to change to mipsel 3.0. Only popwhatever needs one file.
creating a symlink in hndtools-mipsel-linux/lib/gcc-lib/mipsel-linux from 3.2.3 to 3.0 is enough. (I assume that you do not have changed to mispel 3.0 and hndtools-mipsel-linux points to version 3.2.3

That's it for now.
