Vodafone Station Revolution / Vox2.5

Vodafone Station Revolution

Devices with Broadcom WiFi chipsets have limited OpenWrt supportability (due to limited FLOSS driver availability for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported. See Broadcom WiFi for details.

DSL will not work at all on devices with BCM63xx DSL chipset (due to unavailability of FLOSS driver for Broadcom chips). Consider this when choosing a device to buy, or when deciding to flash OpenWrt on your device because it is listed as supported.
See Broadcom DSL, Unsupported: DSL modem and Broadcom BCM63xx for details.

This is the Vodafone Vox2.5 CPE shipped for different type of fixed lines technology in various countries. There exists three known clones of the same product made by different vendors over time (ADB, Huawei and Sercomm) which share the same exact hardware specs and firmware releases, despite different board designs. It supports both ADSL2+/VDSL2 broadband connections through DSL modem and fiber lines by Ethernet WAN port. Provides also two FXS ports for VoIP-to-POTS telephony gateway features.

This Vox2.5 has been marketed with different names in some countries, like:

  • Vodafone Router Avanzado (SHG2500)
  • Vodafone EasyBox 804 (SHG2500)
  • Vodafone Station Revolution (AHG2500/HHG2500/SHG2500)
  • Vodafone Connect Wi-Fi Router (HHG2500)

The Vodafone firmware image variant, its UI design and features set differ by country.

The ADB AHG2500 clone share the same board of ADB VV5820 (aka “Fastweb Fibra Top”). The Sercomm SHG2500 clone share the same board of Sercomm VD625 (aka “Smart Modem TIM”).

Warning: If for some reason, you brick the device (non working firmware) you may need to use the sercomm upgrade mode

Warning: On the SHG2500 model There is no known way to stop the bootloader at the command line on the serial console.

We'll need to get admin access to the OEM firmware web interface. Therefore if you don't know the admin password, first a factory reset to the default config is required, otherwise start at step 4.

  1. Power on the router and wait for the OEM firmware to load.
  2. Press the reset button, hold it about 8 or more seconds until a LED starts blinking. Release the button. Now the router will restart.
  3. Wait until the router restarted and access to its web interface:
    • Address: http://192.168.0.1
    • User: admin
    • Password: VF-ESvox2.5
  4. Go to Settings → Firmware Update, and select the Openwrt factory firmware
  5. Press the Update button and wait some minutes until the update process finish

    The router will restart.
  6. ssh to 192.168.1.1 and set a root password, or browse to http://192.168.1.1 if LuCI is installed.

All versions share the same casing appearance but screws are in different position. All models have internal clips all around the borders that keep both front and rear casing together.

The Huawei version has a single screw under the back label. The ADB version is the same but the screw is a torx one. The Sercomm version has three screws, one under a rubber pin inside the rear USB internet key slot, two other under rubber pins of the base stand.

port.serial general information about the serial port, serial port cable, etc.

How to connect to the Serial Port:

Use a serial TTL adapter to connect your PC with the router. Only connect TX, RX and GND.

Settings:

  • Baudrate: 115200
  • Data bits: 8
  • Parity: None
  • Stop bits: 1

The usual stock Vox2.5 firmware is based on OpenRG 5.4. See OpenRG User, Administrator and Developer manuals for further details (all available for OpenRG 5.5).

OpenRG firmware remote upgrade images are in .rms file format, binwalk+fmk is capable of unpacking the rootfs image found in these files. Bootloader doesn't get updated and its version string matches the first firmware image originally flashed in factory.

There exist VSR firmware variants for all three hardware versions described in this page. The same firmware upgrade .rms file is shared among all of them. For safety, we assume each device can't run a firmware older then its bootloader, as older firmwares are likely not supporting newer clones boards.

Hardware type Bootloader version Minimum firmware version
ADB 963168_ADBVOX25 5.4.8.1.160.11.61 >= bootloader
Huawei 963168_HUAWEIVOX25 5.4.8.1.160.12.39
Sercomm 963168_SERCOMMVOX25 5.4.8.1.287.1.54.1.1.1.6

Sources

OpenRG GPL toolchain and sources for this variant can be found here:

The available toolchain runs on 32-bit Linux systems.

Firmware upgrades

Firmware upgrade is automatically managed by CWMP. Setup an ACS and upload from there.

When marketed as EasyBox 804, the SHG2500 board ships with a quite different OEM firmware.

The available toolchain runs on 32-bit Linux systems.

Firmware upgrades

Here is a sample OEM firmware image which belongs to this variant:

For this variant, you can simply upgrade firmware by placing the rms image into an usb drive.
