Hot fixes in Fonera+ firmware

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.

Debrick Fonera plus

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.

Fonera plus hack. Finally we did it !

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

Steve asks for Fonera Liberada

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. 🙂

Unlocking la Fonera Plus

The BT seal

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.

The ninth seal

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 !
