XFTA New Firmware thanks to goofather and poroto40

Thanks very much to Goofathers and poroto40 for working on this.

I got things to work on my X-FTA box with my ViewSat 9000HD in 2 ways.


Method A - Gargoyle firmware
Using the files from xx-client_v2.4.180.926-openwrt-broadcom.zip. Installed per the instructions.

Inserted the following in /etc/init.d
Code:

/usr/sbin/serial_console off

before this line:

$XX_CLIENT > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Modify the server and client files accordingly. Reboot and everything worked.

Method B - Openwrt firmware
I flashed the X-FTA router with

Code:

---

http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfir...4-squashfs.trx

---

Using the files from xx-client_v2.4.180.926-openwrt-broadcom.zip. Installed per the instructions.

As pangga indicated you have to comment these lines in /etc/inittab to disable console you do thus by putting a # in front of the comment

Code:

#tts/0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
#ttyS0::askfirst:/bin/ash --login
#tty1::askfirst:/bin/ash --login

Modify the server and client files accordingly. Reboot and everything worked.
Good luck running on my 9000 and ultra the method a works better

I want to try this and Have a x-fta router,What gargoyle firmware do I need to to use on my router?? x-fta-0809.2-g1.2.3-wf0.23mex-hgdvb.trx or gargoyle_1.1.8-brcm-2.4-squashfs.trx for the xx-client to work??


also do I use the rq-cliect in the x-fta under the sat section with this new xx-client program from goofer??


Thanks

I'm using the gargoyle modded firmware for xx-script
use the file X-fta-xx-client-920-Techno-Cyber.zip and xx-client_v2.4.180.926-openwrt-broadcom.zip
1. unzip X-fta-xx-client-920-Techno-Cyber.zip ,login to your xfta, goto flash the firmware with the unzipped files
2. after about 5-10 minutes it will be done flashing the goto 192.168.0.2
user is: root password is: poroto40
3.change the internet settings to yours and then save it and wait a few minutes.
4. extract the files from xx-client_v2.4.180.926-openwrt-broadcom.zip
5. use winscp , login to the router through it
6. goto root and drag the files you just unzipped there edit the caid.ini, servers.ini, and xx-client.ini accordingly note to make that line active you have to remove the # before it as # means to ignore
6. goto /etc/init.d and insert the code
/usr/sbin/serial_console off
before this line:
$XX_CLIENT > /dev/null 2>&1 &
i couldn't find that line in mine so iended up copying both of them
7. reboot router and you should be good to go
hope this helps and good luck

K I see where u r going with this N looks Great but My thing is I am using NFusion HD so will this still be the same??

Thank you for the reply's!!!!

that's a good question. if you locate the xx-client.ini file that pansatdishman uploaded there isn't a protocol for the nfusion.

# Receiver protocol
# 1 - Viewsat/X-Factor
# 2 - CNX
# 3 - SSSP Viewsat/SSSP Pansat/Coolsat
# 4 - Captiveworks
receiver_protocol=1


Now then, in goofather's protocol xx-client_v2.5.28.122-x86-atheros-broadcom inside the xx-client.ini file is this:

# Receiver protocol
# 1 - Viewsat/X-Factor
# 2 - CNX
# 3 - SSSP Viewsat/SSSP Pansat/Coolsat
# 4 - Captiveworks
# 5 - Nfusion
# Note: Nfusion's gateway must be set to the IP of the device running
# XX-Client
receiver_protocol=5

Different xx-client versions. The version they used is 2.4. I only released 2.5 a mere 3 or so days ago......which has the new nfusion protocol.

P.S. you can find 2.5 in the nfusion section.

I have the xfta router with gargoyle mex firmware running xx-client 2.5. By just changing the protocol on the ini file can switch between Nfusion Phoenix and Viewsat Max.

Doing some testing connected at the same time the Nfusion via ethernet with xx-client and the Viewsat Max via serial with the xfta rqsssp client, and they work.

Maybe with different file names you can run two instances of the xx-client, one via serial and another via ethernet.

Or just put them in different directories. One in xx-client_nf and another in xx-client_vs for example....

This sounds like a great ideal,Im testing this to work with the NFHD and the files posted above. I am having problems loading the X-fta-xx-client-920-Techno-Cyber.zip file to the router. I have tried to load like instructions say but It stops loading and reads that flask has finished and is rebooting the router the wheel on the page doesn't move or any thing ether. I let it sit like that foe 10 minuts or so whit no luck.I am trying again to see what happens but I can load the file you have with the rq client progran on it easy so if you will please share all the info you can as I will if I get this to work this way. Thanks guys

I can't help with flashing firmware because I'm using the xfta 1.2.3 mex gargoyle firmware.

I cannot get into the Gargoyle web page, when I key in my IP in Firefox it just won't connect. I had no trouble before when I first got my X-fta router. Any ideas anybody ???

Ok I have tried this all night with no Luck.. It will Not Log on the Gargoyle page with the 192.168.0.2 addy or 198.162.1.1 ether! I have re flashed over n over n its a No go here

I dont know whats wrong as I have never had a problem flashing before just this file.

are you wired to the router or wireless?

Hard wired,I click the update Button for the flash and it just spins, It never sais completed after 30 mins or so I try to stop it n log into it by the 192.168.0.2 and nothing just timed out then I try 192.168.1.1 and the same thing. I try to reset it by the reset switch n nothing. I have to unbrick it and I cant even load it there. Only the Reg gargoyle bin or the one with the rq client also I can load the openwrt bin but Not the one I am having problems with,
