JioFiber Root Access [How to] [with Proof]

[hacked2.57]

@malhar_ch, so either telnet is not started or its blocked by firewall. What changes did you made to the config file? Can you share the line that you added to the same?

UPDATE: So the screens I was getting (screenshots attached on #14) is the same screen of backup restore page html source and sure enough there was a checksum error message somewhere in the bottom which I missed, so what I did is use a python script to calculate a new md5 checksum value of my modified file, and replaced it in to config.checksum field, which did fix the issue and I was able to restore the modified *.enc file, it also rebooted the ONT as usual, but that did not enable Telnet access for me, now I'm scratching my head.

@hacked2.57 only the first line I modified as mentioned in the GitHub repo, and the line config.checksum

Maybe they removed the telnetd

Try checking if it exists. Any command you will enter in os.execute gets executed and you will get output in the HTML page. Bonus thing is, commands are executed before the file gets validated and that too they are executed as root. So you don't need to get your config file imported, it just needs to be able to read the file.

In simple words, checksum doesn't really matter if all you want is to execute commands on your router.

@hacked2.57 I see, thanks for the insights... will spend some more time tinkering before my TP-Link G3 arrives and will update here.

I'm on JCOW414 (R 2.57) but when I try to restore the encrypted config file (with telnet enabled) then I get the "401 unauthorized" error and a link to login again.
The telnet doesn't start. can anyone help please?
Jio is so crap.
I'm regretting that why I got Jio installed.

Can we use any other ONU such as TP-Link with Jio connection instead of this crap JCO Team F1 router?

You can 100 percent do that, brdr @akash.a07k !
Get something like an XZ000-G3+Router or a VSOL ONU.

@akash.a07k Did you changed the value of the hidden input element called thispage from backupRestore.html to factoryRestore.html?

Hey @malhar_ch I too, am on the dreaded 3.7 firmware version of the JW404 STB, which locks out many settings, primary one for me being the Disable Broadcast SSID setting, which now permanently allows the ssid to be broadcast...
Can you guide me on how to access that backupRestore page in router settings via editing the source values in elements, I tried finding that elusive backupRestore.html string in there but it is nowhere to be seen, Thanks

@hacked2.57 do you know wherefrom to change out the value of that thispage element, could not find a thispage element reporting its value as backupRestore.html under maintainence sub-section inside the config page? Thanks

@hacked2.57 do you know wherefrom to change out the value of that thispage element, could not find a thispage element reporting its value as backupRestore.html under maintainence sub-section inside the config page? Thanks

@tex This is only required if you have a page called factoryDefault in the maintenance section. As I understood with my interaction with malhar_ch, you should have a hidden backup restore page. Just type backup in the search box on the top right of the web ui. If its not visible, try using the following link http://192.168.29.1/platform.cgi?page=backupRestore.html

hey @hacked2.57 thanks for the reply, I did try both of the options you suggested however no dice, there isn't any result with the backup search string, and the url kicks me out with a 401 unauthorized page everytime I try to click there

Any way to downgrade the router back to an earlier firmware version would be appreciated
