FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7050 (ARCOR Edition) German Annex B to English Annex A

[FRITZ!Boy]

How can this model be changed from German to English Annex A?
Is there a modified firmware Annex A in English?

First you must unbrand that 7050 with unbranding script. After unbranding, label (UI) will dissapear from FW version.

If you have newer DE version (14.04.3X) , you can use:
1. massinge BETA FW (easy way)
2. downgrade FW to english version 14.04.26

Easy way:
I know for english firmware -modified/custom, made by massinge

7050_04.33_en_massinge_ver0.3.image

but unfortunatelly that BETA version have error with DNS parameters on LAN B port.

You can use 7050_04.33_en_massinge_ver0.3.image if you don't need LAN B and if you don't need to set specific DNS parameters manually.

I don't know, maybe massinge have some other finished version for easy 7050 firmware change.


Hardest way

You must downgrade 14.04.31/14.04.33 to 14.04.26
Virtually cannot easy recover with 14.04.26 English!

04.31 = new Linux kernel
2.6 - 04.26 = old Linux kernel

2.4 - have different partitioning of AVM flash memory
