I had a budgetone 100 that I'm fairly sure I powered down during a flash
upgrade and it wouldn't boot - it just kept flashing the keypad 5 times,
then pause, then 5 times, then pause, etc. I tried powering off,
waiting, powering on, waiting, praying, everything. I though it was
dead and then about 12 hours later it suddenly came back to life. It
was connected to the internet (behind a NAT firewall) all the time.
Weird.....

HI
Grandstreams have a safeguard against this. What you need to do is
unplug the eth ports and reset the phone if this does not work then
yes the phone is a dud....get a new one.

what do you think i have to do?
i install a sniffer and the phone make an ARP request
to 67.153.142.69.
the phone is 192.168.0.160 and i set my pc to
192.168.0.161 and i can't ping the phone.
Get a new phone. :(
What he's saying -- and I agree with him -- is that, if you power-cycled
the phone while the lights were flashing (which, if you read the docs,
means it's checking TFTP for a firmware upgrade), and the phone actually
started the upgrade... you could now have a piece of junk instead of a
phone. That's always been the problem with flash memory and the like --
if there aren't enough safeguards, it's all too easy to kill something
during an upgrade. ALWAYS makes me nervous, for example, to upgrade the
flash on my system's BIOS.
Try a couple more power cycles, and maybe check the documentation for
something I might be forgetting -- but it sounds like you have probably
toasted the phone.
Sorry!

Did you set a tftp server on your phone? If you did
then most likely
the phone was downloading the firmware when the leds
were flashing. If you pulled the plug then you might have destroyed
your firmware and
the phone along with it.

Some revs of the GS firmware will wait forever for a reply from a time
server or tftp server. If the address is configured and the phone is
attempting to contact a server which doesn't respond, the lights never
go out. If you can operate the menu, (you may need to cycle the handset
off-hook and then on-hook first) set the TFTP and Time server addresses
to 0.0.0.0 and restart the phone. If the phone now works, then you
should be OK. Also, even if you unplugged the phone during a firmware
update, you may still be able to get the phone operational if the
bootloader code is intact (which is not that unlikely), but you will
need to get a TFTP server located at the address that the phone is
attempting to access.
Hope this helps.
