HowTo: New Method to Unlock Linksys Gizmo (SPA-2102)

This hack is for the Linksys SPA-2102 Gizmo from Ex-SunRocket customers. This method should resolve the factory restore and the Teleblend hijack problems. This method has been brought to my attention via a post on my blog. I have taken the instructions from the following link. Please leave feedback regarding success or fail attempts.

Unlocking the SPA-2102

There is presently one good way to unlock your sunrocket SPA-2102. A big thank you to Username for this hack!

You'll need a specific config file. It can be found here (Mirrors here, here (IE Only), here, here, or here)

After you get the file, you need to verify the md5sum of the cfg file inside the archive.

In linux, you can do this like so:

gzip -d linksys2102-sunrocket.cfg.gz
md5sum linksys2102-sunrocket.cfg

It should return an md5sum of 9abc05cce6cbc9b4be02b7c3a1b951ca If it does not, then it is not the genuine file, and, should be discarded.

The easiest way to do this, is:

1. Connect your computer directly to the INTERNET port of your SPA. Some users may need a crossover cable
   • If this doesen't work for you, you might consider something like:
     • Plugging your router's WAN port into your computer [ For this to work you need to be running a DHCP server on your computer or set the SPA to static IP in the 67.133.234.0 network ]
     • You can connect the SPA to any port on your network using the INTERNET port if you set your WAN port to a static IP 67.133.234.1 mask 255.255.255.0. You can do that via either the web interface or the IVR. Instructions can be found here
     • More Suggestions needed
2. Set your machine's IP address to 67.133.234.53
   • In linux, you can do this by issuing ifconfig ethX:1 67.133.234.53, where X is your interface number.
   • Microsoft Vista IP Change HOWTO
   • Windows XP IP Change HOWTO
   • Windows 2000 IP Change HOWTO
   • Windows 98/95/ME IP ChangeHOWTO
3. Install a webserver on your machine.
   • Microsoft's Personal Web Server should do just fine for windows users.
     • IIS installation On Vista HOWTO
     • IIS installation on XP/2000 HOWTO
     • MS PWS installation on 98/ME HOWTO
   • Or, you can get apache for windows here.
   • On linux, apache will work fine, but, remember to set the mime-type to application/octet-stream.
   • The easiest way to do this is: DefaultType application/octet-stream in apache2.conf
4. Create the directory /gms/linksys/SPA-2102/2102 in your web root.
   • In linux this is generally /var/www
   • In Windows, this can vary greatly, but, might be:
     • c:\inetpub\wwwroot\
     • If you're using apache as suggested above, it will be C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs
5. Copy the file you downloaded to the directory you just created.
6. Rename the cfg file to .cfg , I.E. 000aaa11bb.cfg all letters are lowercase, and, no dashes or colons.
   • If you don't know how to get your mac address, check the bottom of your SPA.
7. Type http://67.133.234.53/gms/linksys/SPA-2102/2102 in your computer browser. You should be able to see the 000xxxxxxxxx.cfg file you prepared. (If not, your web server may not be set up properly)
8. Wait until the light stops blinking and is solid
9. Pick up the phone, and, dial ****
10. At the prompt, dial 723646#
11. When prompted for a password, dial 79309925#
12. Dial 1#
13. Dial 1
14. Hang up
15. Go to http://192.168.0.1/admin/voice/advanced, and, login with the credentials admin and qwe%zxc5 [ For this to work you need to disconnect the device and plug it on the ETHERNET side. You also need to change your computer back to using dhcp if you using windows ].

Congrats! Your gizmo is unlocked!

Now, you'll want to at LEAST disable provisioning.
