Unlock G-2425G-A router running on latest firmware

Note: Tested for Nokia router G-2425G-A running on firmware 3FE49362JJIJ50.

Use this script to decrypt your configuration file. This script has been updated for latest firmware (3FE49362JJIJ50).

All the steps to decrypt the config files has been already discussed in other posts as well, kindly follow them.

1) After decrypting the config file, open the generated xml file in a text editor.
2) Search for TelnetSshAccount section and write username as ONTUSER and password as "anyrandompassword" (remember this password for future).
3) Enable ONTUSER to drop into busybox instead of vtysh by setting LimitAccount_ONTUSER to false. Go to LimitAccount_ONTUSER section and change that option to FALSE.
4) Encrypt the config file again using the same script and import in your router (remember to enable telnet in Security --> Access Control --> LAN).
5) Now use any tool to access telnet, I have used windows powershell (you can enable telnet in windows additional features).
6) In Windows PowerShell write; telnet --> o --> 192.168.1.1

Username: ONTUSER
Password: your password from STEP 2

7) Now in shell write ---> ritool set OperatorID ALCL

After this step you have enabled root access. Login to your router to check everything has been unlocked.

Now hard reset from back of the router is recommended to enable editing any WAN settings but before that remember to take a backup of your configuration and wan settings.

8) After hardreset the router's gateway will default to 192.168.1.254 and username and password will change to AdminGPON and ALC#FGU respectively.

How can I upgrade firmware manually, when login as a admin user I cannot see Firmware Upgrade option.

Though I unlocked the device internet stopped working after 1 day. I tried to restore the original config but it is not working. I recharged it with 589 rs for 1 month. Now in Airtel Thanks shows no service activated. It shows "refund initiated for 589 rs". Looks like they blocked this unlocked router.

@SuperboyPrime61 Maybe there's some other issue with your account as in my case the internet is working just fine and there's hardly anyway they can check if you router is rooted remotely unless they come at your location and check physically. Rooted router won't sync through TR-069 unless you've configured it manually. Check if your account is still active in airtel app (maybe you haven't recharged for a long time).
If your account is still active then raise a complaint that your internet is not working, they might change your router eventually.

@vijender9891 firmware version is 3FE49362JJIJ50?
Check if you're correctly encrypting the file again with the same command shown in command prompt.
Maybe there is some structure change in config file after decrypting and when you encrypt the file again.
Check the complete filename of config file with extension, the router won't load any other file except "config.cfg". Sometimes there are two suffix in file extension due to renaming like "config.cfg.cfg", make sure this isn't happening with your file.
Finally if none of this works, find a way to import the configurations through telnet or ssh. I'll have to look into this, if I find a way then I'll let you know.
