hi changing isp cable to VDSL i have purchased a HG612 echo life 3b model to match cabbinate line card .
i need to clean hack update firmware of course i have seen the great guides on forum my difficulty is i am on mac OS X and not a great writer of code i have seen the useful tools posted / bald eagle n howling wolf on updating the HG612
is there a translation for a mac user here that is not so code literate .
i would like to see line stats can i access the G.in data with mac terminal
ifconfig.
novice help appreciated :fingers:

You don't need any code, you will need a device with an Ethernet port though. http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/hg612hacking.htm

There's no OS specific apps required. I think you may be getting confused with HG612_Modem_Stats which is a Windows only program for monitoring stats continuously.
The actual unlocking of the HG612 only requires a network card with an Ethernet port that you can set a static IP, and a browser to upload the unlocked firmware.
Any telnet client can then get the stats.
Macs can do all the above, just follow the link provided by licquorice.

thank you
i wasn't that specific detail referencing as was in rush on way out and not doing the job this evening .
just having got in from my birthday curry i will get this underway tomorrow as I'm still on cable until new VDSL install.
will have to take router around to my mothers office prior who has BT adsl i want it ready for engineer visit
Thanks liquorice i have the net dumaR1 router n macbook to load up 192.168.1.1 was it ,,i will take a look yes the HG612_Modem_Stats would have been good to see is there an os tool to access the G.INP data ?
THANKS AGAIN

hi i am trying hard to clear and update the echo life HG612
1.i am mac only, supposedly fine ok .
i have managed to rest hg612 and have static ip on iMac network i have achieved page 192.168.1.1 for software update search files. i downloaded howlenwolfs link
which uses a file server MEGA
2. i have to create an account and then get them to desktop or iCloud ? i presume for file transfer these are the files is see but which do i upload to HG612 ??
there are a few and will the additional tools show ups on osx i doubt it .
thanks

Use the B030 SP08 webgui firmware.

liquorice thanks success with bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui.dms great is there any other file there i should install .
-
That's it, done.
Any telnet client can login and get detailed stats.
The WebUI provides some stats but some of it is incorrect.
As for automatically monitoring the stats continuously...
HG612_Modem_Stats is Windows only.
DslStats runs on Windows, Linux and RPi.
Both have been shown to work on Mac with an emulator like WINE, but I have no experience there.

Install Kitematic and Nallar (Ross Allan) has produced a DSLStats container that you can just run. Works a treat.

Hi I am having massive problems getting online with HG612 any help appreciated
I have loaded bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui.dms A’s zip file
Is firmware included up to date as I cannot establish pppoe I did few days ago I’ve been in settings for 3 days now in stats I’m connected with 4294967290 HEC ERORS that’s a fall right
0errors in a
Wan packet but when I run diagnostic ping in advance it pass first run then fails dial up on ppp
I live in front of this modem now
I only have few days before VM cut me of then I’m stuffed no web
Any ideas. Usfull ones I meant . :(
-
Hi liquorice how are you I have down loaded bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui.dms I lodaded as zip
It all worked as showing stats and software in I’d of HG612 but unable to establish pppoe connection. I don’t get I have no router nothing else connected just lan2
And GUI. My isp. Pulse 8. Said it went funny last night. But I’m failing dial up basically
I have it in route mode in wan settings vlan 101 it’s all pretty straight forward but still failing dial up on diagnostic ping
Any ideas appreciated

Hi i have the bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B030SP08_webgui.dms on as my other post says as i cannot achieve ppoe
i thought i would reinstall agin downloaded from https://mega.nz
do i remove VDSL when reseting hg612 so i am on gui update software / from my download 2 minute ,, at this point i still have the vdsl out of socket of modem i wait 4 mins the log in gui appears and my old settings are still there ???
i am pressing reset long enough as its creating the software update page i dont know im about ready tho throw this out the window . :'(

why don't you get a router and use the modem purely as a modem. Any good router should provide ppoe and sit behind the modem using port 1 and then provide wifi if needed etc
-
thanks i have a router , i want the echo life working first
-
reinstalled again getting update software gui choosing file arfter loading 4 mins still my settings remain so the hg612 is not flushing dns
on my reset
-
It's a hell of a lot easier to just use the HG612 as a modem and connect a router to it to do the PPPoE! The default HG612 configuration should just work. If you do get the HG612 working on it's own you'll probably have to undo some stuff when you want to use the router so you can have WiFi.
If you don't want to use the router to confirm the HG612 is working, connect a PC to the HG612 and configure the PPPoE on that.
-
hi i am only using as mode
If you don't want to use the router to confirm the HG612 is working, connect a PC to the HG612 and configure the PPPoE on that.
all stats say im connected but keeps failing pppoe diagnostic ping all settings are correct just will not pass
i have ethernet to pc and VDSL in modem thats it
-
If the modem is in sync then it is working. The PPP is handled by your router or your PC if connected to that.
It's a dumb modem, it is only designed to handle the vdsl2 sync to the cabinet.
Once it is unlocked with the unlocked firmware you never need to login to the HG612 again.
In its default configuration it works out of the box with any uk FTTC ISP.
Basically, if the DSL light is solid, it's working. The problem is likely elsewhere.
-
Not sure what you are trying to do with the HG612 but you appear to have loaded the correct firmware in Reply#7 so it should all be ready to go as a modem in bridge mode with the PPPoE connection handled by your router.
In Reply#17 I assume you mean you are wanting to use it as a modem but in Reply#11 you say you have it route mode which is wrong if you just require a modem.
You seem to have reinstalled the firmware a number of times, not sure why, any update to the firmware has to be done using the boot loader firmware update page by powering up while pressing the reset button as described below. (The third option) The firmware update page in the normal GUI does not work correctly.
A Huawei HG612 responds to its reset button as follows --
1) When powered up, a press and release of the reset button will initiate a device reboot.
2) When powered up, a press, hold for an excess of (say) ten second and release of the reset button will revert the device to its default configuration and initiate a device reboot.
3) When powered down, a press and hold whilst powering up the device, then release the button will allow access to the boot loader firmware update page at 192.168.1.1 via the LAN2 port.
Acknowlegement to Burakkucat For this info
Is the modem connecting and showing stats, if so it is working. I dont think the failed ping test is relevant. Are you able to get an internet connection?
-
The Huawei HG612, in its default state, is already in the correct configuration to act as a bridge between the G.993.2 circuit and a router.
Just disconnect the HG612 from the incoming line, disconnect anything from the two LAN ports and with it powered up, press and hold the reset button for 10 - 15 seconds. Release the button and leave the device alone for, say, five minutes.
The device will now be in the correct configuration.
-
thank-you for your help im not to smart at this i dont understand pppoe i have understood that i have stats up and down etc
and solid green light .
, if so it is working. I dont think the failed ping test is relevant. Are you able to get an internet connection? no im not using router yet ,, just mac book pro . 2008
im new to pppoe im confused ok my pc mac book i think is screwing things up (( if i cannot establish ppp from network settings in mac book with direct ethernet connection failed failed failed ,, but logs in HG612 saying succeeded .
do i create pppoe or ethernet connection ? in network settings mac as pppoe will not work, later does allowing hg612 gui .
i have started over in network preferences cleared locations recreated a new one i get all green lights untill isp.
so i think the macbook is not establishing isp pppoe
burakkucat thanks if you say so i will try now i try this now i do have vlan etc from puls8 isp to enter

n Reply#17 I assume you mean you are wanting to use it as a modem but in Reply#11 you say you have it route mode which is wrong if you just require a modem.
i see yes i just want to use this as a modem on a ppp service so is it bridged ppp i select when using a router to
-
You shouldn't need to change anything in the modem configuration, the vlan id will already be configured. All you need is your ISP username and password entered in the router config. What router are you using, it has to have an Ethernet WAN port to connect to LAN1 on the HG612. This may have to be configured in the router so that the WAN connection uses Ethernet and not an internal modem if it has one.
Edit: Just seen your latest post, my HG612 is set to IP_Bridged but as I and others have said you shouldn't need to change anything. If you just do the reset the default config should work.
-
Thanks i know you felows are smart , but you are incorrect i followed the
2) When powered up, a press, hold for an excess of (say) ten second and release of the reset button will revert the device to its default configuration and initiate a device reboot. i say a couple time s as incorrect my settings are not reset at all so
1, i remove the path ptm1.10 thats the profile right ... then do the reboot
2. my ISP vlan is not in correct no is connection mode or bridge type 802.1q & p values wrong ?? i filled these entered credentials
all other settings are as i left them ,, qos of etc so i filled these in vlan tag 101 value 2
my router which is NETDUMAR1 brand new ,, now connected via
HG612 lan1 > wan R1 router /port netdumaR1 > lan 2 hg612 > port R1 > port r1 >pc
i then wiped sudo killall -hub mDNSResponder in terminal recreated a ppoe location
and started the HG12 and i am very pleased to say it only has taken me a week to get this going with your help of course really pleased
there is no way over the last few days i tried anything different this is new vdsl line ?? new isp
thankyou all again ;D :) ;D :)
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

dident mean to be rude your advice is spot on and im hugely grateful my machine bad.
these are setting that worked

Re PPOE failed.
have you been in >maintenance>Diagnose>DSL Status The DSL is connected.
PPPoE status Obtaining the IP address of the PPPoE failed.
Network Status Diagnosis is completed.
I have never seen this work.
As said before some of the HG612 GUI does not work very well.

I can't really make much sense of your posts but i'm happy you got it working in the end. :)

realale its understandable you cannot make head nor tail of my posts ive been staring at my laptop and tring to get virtual help for this hg612 and my new vdsl set up pppoe for a week day and night
there are many dynamics to the whole lot isp , new router , new modem i do not work in this subject
cheers for your help

Hi i cant see how to create new post restricted ti iphone No home net.
HG6-2 i have 2 now i had them unlocked but long story short. There not now. Question: if i unknowingly left BT AGENT TR609_ internet on would i now be locked out as i cannot reflash.
1.the reset button does not seem to work consitently if at all.
2. I have only pcu and 30 sec press of same power recycled .
Changed browsers cleard DNA cache
I have assined static in network pref 192.168.1.100.
En lan2 to pc just not loading booter of hg612.
Whats worrying is the reset buttons are now disabled. They were ok ive been at this for weeks
Do i buy yet another HG612. Is it the macbook the modem,
I have even taken this to my mothers office more apple mac last night still no change from above
One of them no dsl the other all connects lan1 to router but i cant get my pppoe as i default in hg612 are obviousley not suitable or it would connect to isp.
Help please.

Please forget all you have ever known about the Huawei HG612 and just follow the following steps --
- Disconnect the HG612 from everything.
- Depress, and keep depressed, the reset button.
- With your other hand, plug-in the power supply.
- Release the reset button.
- Connect an Ethernet patch cable to the LAN1 port.
- Connect the other end of the Ethernet patch cable to a computer.
- Configure the computer's Ethernet interface with a static IPv4 address. Choose any address from within the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.
- Open a web-browser and enter the IPv4 address 192.168.1.1 in the web-browser's address bar. The Broadcom boot-loader firmware update page will be displayed.

burakkucat success .Thanks for that sound advice i have read everything on the hg612 over the last few weeks having changed ISPS to DSL pppoe
from cable Vm so this equipment all new to me urhased so don't know wether i had duffs so thank you for the help.
having left them off for days then still not getting responses in sequence (as disicrbed made me wonder . But. there is a caviet
my mac book pro .07 has weird ideas i kinda knew it was messing even though i fulsh dns
sudo dscacheutil -flushcache;
sudo killall - HUB mDNSResponder;say cache flushed.
following your advice i could see a boot loader trying start in address barOpen a web-browser and enter the IPv4 address 192.168.1.1 in the web-browser's address bar. The Broadcom boot-loader firmware update page will be displayed.
i borrowed a windows laptop and went through the set up you listed and imeadeatly came up with the update page fantastic
after weeks of this i can assure you me whoever that something which i couldn't get to in browsers CHROME/ SAFARI even when i tried new user in my desktop. it wasn't like this weeks a go something has restricted this update load page on my system for sure as the windows worked straight away . so now i have to HG612 as i thought the first ones reset button wasn't working and bought another /// i may buy a windows based os just so i can run dsl stats and subvert this problem in the future already back on my mac i can't access again , even after deleting and creating new location , network. etc
clear cache of browsers . chrome safari .
question . i was always with the impression that GUI access on HG612 was via LAN2 ..
Connect an Ethernet patch cable to the LAN1 port
well thanks i have the BT agent of QOS of so just have to work out best settings for modem route pppoe is hand out by router , in my router os i can't use my static ip & ppppoe ether or tick .
so is it bridged mode , or route i have both LAN1 LAN2 in hg612 connected , seems to work www for now online . but two LANS? to router .
great help thank you .
-
I'm pleased to know that both devices have been proved to be still usable. :)
The only reason for connecting the Ethernet patch cable to the HG612's LAN1 port is to access the GUI based firmware update page. Once that has been completed, you will need to swap it over to the LAN2 port for routine access to the GUI . . . as the LAN1 port will be used for the Internet service connection when the HG612 is used in its default configuration of bridge mode.
-
ok got it . sorry i have a quandary i changed hg612 LAN ip to avoid clash to 192.168.1.2/ now it seems i cannot get gui up.
i dont know how mode is set , i think pppoe bridge and route on other LANS not bound.
i have WWW. at prsent working on LAN2 to router wan .& LAN1 to spare router port without which no net .
if i could hg612 gui i could see whats mode is in.. i have set pc NIC to 192.168.100.2. that should get hg612 up , right
not sure which LAN to use now for gui tried both confused and frustrated why
my router sssd authentication comes up without fail.
192.168.88.1 no problem.
im going to take DSL cable out and try lan 1 lan 2 access on 192.168.1.2.again
-
The IPv4 address of the HG612 is 192.168.1.1 by default.
If you have changed it to 192.168.1.2 then the GUI should be accessible via that address through the LAN2 port. If you are having a problem, try clearing the browser's cache, close the browser and then re-open it and try the address once again.
Setting the PC's NIC to 192.168.100.2 will not work if the HG612's address has been set as 192.168.1.2 . . . you need to have the PC on the same sub-net as the HG612. So just use 192.168.1.100, as before.
-
Good now its clear i will try again this evening .
i have some peculiar routing going on to achieve WWW. a mystery to me until i get back in HG
my router MIKRO TIK RB159G is meant to receive PPP wan port 1 from lan 1 hg612 oh no I'm only getting connection to outside into port 2 on router another port going to PC then my pope connects .. seem to remember setting ppppoe credentials in modem aswell as router , i don't have to do modem ISP credentials if i want router to handle that do i ?
-
.. seem to remember setting ppppoe credentials in modem aswell as router , i don't have to do modem ISP credentials if i want router to handle that do i ?
No, you should not set any credentials in the HG612 for a PPP session if you intend to have a separate router manage everything.
The HG612 works best as a plain bridging modem, which just provides both a PTM endpoint and also an endpoint for a VLAN with the tag 101.

Great worked a treat arfter a 12 hour rest of the HG612
if my router is handling pppoe is the HG612 best in BRIDGE_pppoe or route . i think i have been getting double NAT to other device because i had HG also requesting ppp im in now what a relief thanks alot.
-
The default mode of operation of the HG612 is bridge mode. The HG612 will provide a PTM endpoint and a VLAN endpoint. It converts the xDSL signal to/from Ethernet frames which will be accessible on the LAN1 port.
To set the HG612 into its default mode, just press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds.
