What’s on tumblr
Just released to selected users , the firmware 1.1.1-r2 for la Fonera+.
The hack team of the Lama Bleu is working to compile a changelog and to understand what new features or patches has been applied.
Stay tuned.
Holidays , more time to spend at home , and some freaky geeky had the chance to put the hands on Fonera plus , to mod it , to reflash it , maybe with DD-WRT or Openwrt Kamikaze.
But sometimes something goes wrong and your tiny little white router becomes a tiny little white brick.
No worries , the amazing Blue Lama has the solution . Wait before to cry and to put fonera plus into the waste bin.
Just follow the easy instructions on how to debrick in Eric’s blog or in the wiki.
there is a simple différence.
Meraki Hotspots are not PayToSurf Spots like fon ones.
After hard beta testing period , howtos writing , translations , making scripts tweaking and mass email exchange between the team , finally the Fonera Plus hack has been released.
The easy and step by step howto is here !
I just want to thank all the team , who made possible the making of this project , first of all the great Lama Bleu , aka Eric Levine who spent 2 months to build the image for Fonera plus re flashing , without changing anything of original FON configuration .
My fellow Giorgio Zarrelli , who wrote the first version of the English how to , scripted the redboot access procedure and much much more.
A very very special thanks to incredible Steven Leeman of the Belgian FON community and official blogger for Dutch section of blog.fon.com.
And then the whole Freewlan team who at this moment even without a Fonera plus is working to our Foneras Liberadas remotely to port the version 0.9 of their add-ons ASAP.
So is revealed at least in part the reason of my low activity in the blog of last weeks since all my (really few) free time was devoted to this project.
Fonblog.eu will be in the forthcoming days a hub for everyone who wants to collaborate and join the team to tweak and improve.
That’s all folks . I wish you a merry Fonera plus unlocking
I get something different doing the third check… what’s the cause? does that mean that I can’t flash my fonera+?

@pepepotamo I forwarded your comment to developer mailing list . An answer sure is on the way.
Cheers Anton
La Fonera+ is designed to be more easier to install and harder to hack: All the known bugs have been eliminated, the on-board-serial does not reveal a console anymore, the communication with fon is also encrypted (ASFAIK) using DNS and maybe more. …
@pepepotamo
Solution here for you, perhaps, but verify result for step 2 first

Hello.!I am from Greece and 1 week ago i opened the FON Greek Community website ( http://www.fonhellas.com )
I want to ask you what are the benefits of this hack?
And if we can help at any translation dont be afraid to ask us!
nice job guys!
🙂

Kalimera Jonakis !!
I checked your fon website , but I’m not so familiar with greek language :).
Opening ssh port to la fonera plus , will lead the add-on sets of freewlan or francofon . This add-on can bring significant benefits to la fonera management .
Current freewlan add-on pack works only on la fonera 1.0 . You can check out an online demo here
Bye bye.
Just after short time Martin left the Apple headquarter in Cupertino , I received an email from Steve asking me how to control la fonera plus just received as present.
He told me that he finds unfair that Martin unlocked his Iphone and with la fonera he can’t do the same.
I replied that I’m sorry , but it needs to wait until 29 october , when we will be ready to release the hack.
Once again , sorry Steve. 🙂
We are working to an easy and simple method to unlock la Fonera Plus .
We are still in Beta test. A very comprehensive documentation is under development .
We are preparing a multilingual wiki for step by step instructions. Also we are looking for translators for Spanish , German and Chinese for the whole set of howto’s .
If you want to contribute to the project drop me an email , I will give you all the instruction.
We have dead line 29 October 2007 , if you want to add a countdown ticker to your blog , here’s the code

“Also we are looking for translators for Spanish , German and Chinese for the whole set of howto’s .”
Suggestion for spanish …. Martin VARSAVSKI 😉
Can help on spanish translation.
@Jorge , drop me an email please .

I really don’t understand why you spend your night try to hack a 45$ fonera plus ( that’s worth half of it ) , instead of working on software for 45$ OPEN routeurs such as Buffalo
I guess you work for glory ?
@freechelmi because here is dema FON blog 🙂
Cheers Anton
Isn’t already possible to flash it with serial Cable and Redboot ?
@freechelmi actually this hack is a reflashing trough Redboot , but without serial cable and with full functional fon features. Freewlan is working to port version 0.9 of their add-on pack to la fonera plus ASAP.
The howtos are ready , we are just cleaning and tweaking some settings . We will be ready in time for 29 October.
Cheer Anton
I don’t have a foneraPLUS , but redboot is available through WAN ethernet isn’t it ? SO you gonna write a Tuto about doing it , and reflash it with a modified firmware that has SSH enabled and I guess, and that does not use stage2 ?
I’m really wondering who could have bought a fonera plus …. not a bargain at all .
Hi Anton,
Have just send a private mail to freechelmi to give more infos about his comment, and my personal opinion about FON2201
Suggested to him : contact me if he needs more info in french
Eric
May i help you ?
translate (eng–> spa)
hack fonera 2200 (the new one, 7.5V)
changes in addon for fonera+ ?
dac
There’s a lonely fonera plus in the wild internet which I can ssh in.
What do you say ? Tell me more ?
Sorry at the moment no details can be revealed.
Stay tuned
different than one described here: http://en.freewlan.info/viewtopic.php?p=1731 ?
@sid77 Due to agreement with the author I really cannot tell any detail. Sorry. 🙂
Just few hours after the Neuf-Fon agreement in France , here’s another big deal!
Fon and BT will join together to create a BTFON wifi Community.
The official Fon Blog has more.
It’s done , the agreement between FON and Neuf Cegatel has been completed yesterday during Fiesta Fon in Paris.
Now Fon network has a potential of 500.000 more hotspots around France thanks to this deal.
Maps.fon.com has complete coverage of neuf boxes already transformed into fon spots.
I’m looking forward other ISP’s around the globe to do the same and at that point we all can scream VIVA FREE WIFI !
