chanced an eBay purchase

Okay, I'm a worrier.

The nice man on eBay reported firmware 5.29.117.6, so I jumped on it. He had opened it to unlock it and test it on another provider.

How likely is it to have self-updated to v6 without his knowledge?

Thanks,

Richard

Unlikely if he knows that much.

That's great Rik, thanks

I got a response from the seller.

He's flashed it with Singtel firmware to stop it from self-updating. I'm going back to read Tripod again, but I think I can still flash 5.29.117.6 and set the URL to prevent updating. Is that correct?

Ahhh, never mind, I just saw the next thread and read the Tripod page. I'll use 5.29.107.12.

Talking to yourself again, Richard?
