Today we’ll be taking a look at the Technicolor TG797n v3 Router (Telstra branded), an ADSL2+ Wireless router with 1 gigabit WAN and LAN port, 3 10/100 ports, VOIP, DECT and 2 USB ports. Once again this is another router which I haven’t heard of this brand before. It looks to be similar to the Thomson Gateway TG797. 2 screws later and we’re in.

Good work!I'm wondering, when you break the boot sequence 3 times and it loads up a different software, which software is it actually loading? Is it the same Telstra software or does it load the Technicolor software? If the latter, can you HTTP to it and get access to all functionality?

Because if you can then you should be able to do a backup using the web gui, and get telnet working properly.Also, you cannot create a user called root because these units already come with a root user which is disabled. The software is linux, so root is always there. I've ended up locking myself out completely, finding out about this on a much much older Thomson Speedtouch (which is before Technicolor).Instead, create any user and give it admin privileges.I'm keen to see your progress, because I have one of these Technicolor routers too, and Telstra have only allowed configuration of a handful of things. I'd like to get full functionality or put DDWRT on it to have a play with that.I'd be keen to get the software from the 2nd partition which you managed to boot, if it's anything different to the Telstra software. I've used a few of these Thomson / Technicolor modems before throughout the years. On Englands O2 Broadband, the top level admin login is 'SuperUser' (case sensitive usernames.) and the password is the serial number on the sticker of the unit. I've tried this in the normal Telstra software but doesn't work.

I'm not sure what the default is that comes from Technicolor.I would be keen to have a play myself. I've used the telnet system on these before and once you get to know how the system works it's not too bad.Do you have any instructions on how to get the terminal up and running?

How do you even take the unit apart? I couldn't see any screws when I had a look. Are they under the sticker?It would be nice if we could get some unrestricted software for it.

OK, so once you have a serial connection setup to break boot you just have to turn it on-off-on-off-on-off-on by pushing the power switch as soon as you see the boot test scroll on your terminal. You WILL see it say something about falling back to backup image which one would assume is a default Technicolour firmware. Although from the web interface once you get into its fallback, it definately looks like the older type telstra firmware.Once you are broken into the second boot you can connect via ethernet or wifi and SSH into the modem. I did the on/off break boot 3 times thing but I couldn't get it to load any different firmware.

I'm not sure if it's loading the 2nd partition and it's the same firmware as the 1st partition or if I'm not able to break the boot sequence at the right time. I spent about an hour doing this yesterday evening, waiting different lengths of time from about half a second, to when the first LED comes on, to when the first LED goes off and just before it goes off. Also when the blue LED comes on. When I let it boot up, each time it loads the same firmware and the configuration. I was expecting a blank / default configuration at least.

Not sure what happened, did a few dumps in different modes and now the NAND isn't responding an ID let alone dumping. I'm thinking I either broke the chip (not sure) or blew the decoupling caps (it's presenting the same issue reading NANDs as when I didn't have a them). I was using junk caps from a washing machine board.I'll spend the $2 at Jaycar for new ones tomorrow.Also gotta get the python based dumping programs installed properly on one of my linux based systems and try pyftdi.Tonight I am designing a board to take the NAND ZIF and FT2232H board and rule out stupidly long cables causing signal issues.
