German Telekom SP104/SP105 firmware for u-12

Thursday, May 15. 2014

I got a comment from John, he told me that a telco in Germany called Telekom has SP104 firmware out for B593 u-12. They seem to call it Speedport LTE II. The download link to the firmware is http://hilfe.telekom.de/dlp/eki/downloads/Speedport/Speedport%20LTE%20II/Firmware_Speedport_LTE_II_V100R001C748SP104.zip

The UI has English language, so it should be usable for us non-German speaking users too.

As usual, I did download and extract the firmware and all looks ok to me. Also as usual, I didn't test it. If you do, please comment how it went.

Update 21th May 2014:
Today John told me that, Telekom released a security update SP105 firmware. There is little information what the fix is, but you can get the lates from this link http://www.telekom.de/dlp/eki/downloads/Speedport/Speedport%20LTE%20II/Firmware_Speeport_LTE_II_B593u-12_V100R001C748SP105.zip

Anyone can test to see:

- Voip
- Dyndns (DDNS)
- SMS

Features that are ON and OFF like xmas trees from firmware to firmware. Telcos are the motherloads of confusion.

Thanks for the info.

I wish Huawei would make a smart move and open the firmware. There are proprietary parts (especially the 3G/4G drivers) and I'd be happy to have them as binaries. Rest of the box is GPL Linux anyway. Please, let me build my own excitement!

- Voip -- > NO
- Dyndns (DDNS) --> Yes
- SMS -> no as per fact only data Cards are issued by the Telco they are issued to people in Germany who are unable to get a DSL line either because it's not possible or the line is to slow they hand out this device and a (special) data Sim card to connect those customers via 3G/4g Network

Iv tested this firmware and it has a fixed APN Value by default that cant be edited or removed. Normally the value is AUTO but in this case the telco uses their APN (internet.mobile), it sucks it cant be used outside. Iv Reseted but it stays the same value non editable.

The Menus are very alike of the V100R001C55SP102

It has DDNS
No VOIP

If anyone has some way of edit the APN value tell me here please.
As far as i tested it only works that German Telekom.

Thanks for the info.

If the APN-value is fixed, for example I cannot use that firmware at all. None of the Finnish telcos use APN of "internet.mobile" in pre- or post-paid SIMs.

#2.1 Jari Turkia on 2014-05-18 09:13 (Reply)

thats untrue

the APN for those devices are "internet.home" the APN internet.mobile

is for cell phones and don't work with the simcard's issued with those devices

Just add a secondary APN and then Switch the APN here is a picture for demonstration -_> http://i.imgur.com/b2C469O.jpg

Ok. Then it is "the regular" thing with APN. All of the boxes have a fixed non-deleteable APN in them, but you can add new ones and choose to use them at will.

#2.2.1.1 John do on 2014-05-19 16:34 (Reply)

Thanks for sharing that info,

but the problem is that i use AUTO APN, i dont want to know what APN to use, the router AUTO connects without the need of APN if the blocked APN setting is the *99# only for example.

We can use this firmware, but its not suitable for my needs. I use the Automatic APN because i have several telcos cards to be used on the device, i just replace the sim cards and turn power on, it auto connects to LTE or 3G that i pick.

Another info:

The V100R001C55SP102, as an automatic webgui update and the result:
V100R001C55SP103

If anyone can get this latest firmware in file would be nice.
There is no visible changelog and its a small 102»103 update

#3 John on 2014-05-16 17:34 (Reply)

Found the changelog it shows on the webgui Upgrade Menu inside router:

FIRMWARE1: B593u-12 V100R001C55SP103
Size: 40.23 MB

Features:
This SW has the following updates:
- WEBGUI improvements
- Security improvements
- Fixing some bugs

It downloads and install/upgrades.

I wish we could catch this file that it downloads and install auto. We dont have access to it, its all AUTO.

the Sp103 is an older firmware and can't be downloaded anymore but you can download the current firmware which is labeled as "SP105" here --> http://hilfe.telekom.de/dlp/eki/downloads/Speedport/Speedport%20LTE%20II/Firmware_Speeport_LTE_II_B593u-12_V100R001C748SP105.zip

Updated the device with the new firmware.. now I'm exploring it on first look I haven't seen anything new or different the password still works

#4.1.1 John do on 2014-05-21 13:07 (Reply)

The big problem once again, the APN comes with locked settings.
Usually in most firmwares it comes blank as in AUTO and you just put the simcard inside and it connects.

I reverted to older firmwares 102/103 that are much alike as this one but with the AUTO APN working.

But its really recent this one, i wonder what are the big differences. Lets wait for others to roll-out 105 as well

#4.1.1.1 John on 2014-05-21 13:30 (Reply)

I typically don't use auto APN. See http://blog.hqcodeshop.fi/archives/200-comments.html#c786 about that. In a typical scenario, you really need to know your APN settings.

this 105 firmware is dated for this year 2014.

Its the first that i see below ending in 2014:

True but you can add an extra apn.. the auto-apn feature is useless in this telco firmware but you can use the C00SP073 firmware which has no APN Set..

but it's really no big deal to add the APN's you use and when you plug-in the simcard just switch to the proper APN

Personally i need that functionality.

Its a quick insert sim a turn it on and its working.

If it was just for my use i wouldnt need it.

what default passord for V100R001C748SP105

Comments (2)

#6 nayef (Homepage) on 2014-06-03 23:46 (Reply)

To be specific: admin password for SSH or for web GUI?

Comments (14)

#6.1 Jari Turkia on 2014-06-04 13:59 (Reply)

for the V100R001C748SP105 (telekom firm) it's common that the password is npt recognized if the device is a disguised version of the B593 then it's the password that is on the label on the back of the device if it is a standard b593 then do a hard reset by holding the reset button for 30 seconds let the device boot-up completly and the switch it off with the power button and remove the power supply wait another 30 seconds and plug it again and let it boot this should solve the webgui admin password thing it did for me when I used the swedish firmware once..

the password for SSH usually never changes unless changed by the telco

#6.2 John do on 2014-06-04 14:06 (Reply)

True that!

I discussed the magically changing SSH admin password in http://blog.hqcodeshop.fi/archives/204-Telia-Sweden-SP102-firmware-for-u-12.html

My previous password was literally "admin", but now that I'm running the SP102, it is something randomish. But I still can dig it out, because FTP leaks so badly.

#6.2.1 Jari Turkia on 2014-06-04 14:11 (Reply)

Jari the Sp102 has various Security flaws there was a article yesterday on an German tech website might use google translate to read it since it is in german

update to the SP105 Firm might be wise since the TR-069 port is closed there too...

read the article here:

#6.2.1.1 John do on 2014-06-04 14:15 (Reply)

The SP102 having security flaws is a two-fold thing. For any normal user that would be a bad thing, but for anybody wanting to gain access to the parts they don't want you to mess with it is a good think.

The problem with SP105 is that I don't know its vulnerability status. It may be too tightly locked for me.

Comments (14)

#6.2.1.1.1 Jari Turkia on 2014-06-04 14:38 (Reply)

well I run the SP105 and I can say SSH is open to the local network by default and you can use the admin password from /etc/sshusers.cfg

Telnet is closed and so is FTP but you can alter the iptables from ssh with ease..

webintface is fixed Ping & traceroute has been secured

thats it...

Wow! I didn't realize that telcos would want to change that too on a firmware upgrade.

#7.1 Jari Turkia on 2014-06-04 15:15 (Reply)

Attention!

According to German media the Huawei B593u-12 and s-22 are facing a major security flaw.

The firmware versions V100R001C55SP102 and V200R001B180D10SP00C801 do have 5 major securiuty issues which can be used to gain control from outside the local network.

Possible scenarios are Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and Replay-Attacks. This means attackers can turn of the internet connection, redirect you to phishing sites and they´re also able to execute random code.

The stated firmwares SHALL NOT BE USED. If you´re using any of these, update immediately to a newer version.

Maybe there should be an own article that.
