Hi Folks, Since there isn't a grandstream forum AFAIK I guess someone here may be able to shed some light on this. Apologies if this is viewed as offtopic.. I think I may have killed the firmware on my Grandstream Budgetone 101. I found a source for the 1.0.5.30 firmware and made the files available over tftp. The phone downloaded the files but now doesn't boot and hangs with a blank screen, although the keypad lights blink occasionally. After that I tried to go back to the 1.0.4.55 firmware I was running previously, but the tftp transfer no longer seems to work, the phone sends a tftp request, but doesn't seem to get the files?! Has anyone else seen this? is there a way to access the phone via the internal PCB edge connector? -Cheers Max -- Max Lock

I experienced the same symptoms. One of my Budgetones hung in state in which the tftp IP number could not be changed and the tftp download site was not working. I put the Budgetone behind a double natting (maybe there is another name for this but that is what it does) gateway and redirected the outgoing IP to a tftp server that worked. The Budgetone resumed functioning after a successful image download.
