Once the firmware is successfully written to the flash memory, you must configure the device mode: Switching Modes via CLI Open your terminal (PuTTY) and Telnet into 192.168.100.1 . Log in with your root credentials.
Proceeding with this modification is done entirely at your own risk. The most significant danger is the potential to brick your device, rendering it unusable. A corrupted flash or a failed bootloader can leave you with a lifeless piece of hardware that may require specialized tools like a NAND programmer to revive. Beyond the risk of bricking, you might find that your device, even after a successful conversion, fails to register on your ISP's network. This can happen because the OLT (Optical Line Terminal) may reject the device's modified hardware identifier or SN/MAC address.
To unlock all hardware features (e.g., unlocking all four Gigabit Ethernet ports), you may need to change the board type:

Hardware version 1.3 and 2.0 have different flash partitions. A verified firmware for HW1.3 will brick HW2.0 and vice versa.
While there are community-shared firmwares that claim to convert the Huawei HG8245H from GPON to EPON, Huawei support states that these devices do not support conversion

It was a typical Monday morning for John, a network engineer at a large telecommunications company. He was tasked with upgrading the firmware of a Huawei HG8245H GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) device to EPON (Ethernet Passive Optical Network) mode. The device was used to provide internet connectivity to a large residential complex. Proceeding with this modification is done entirely at
To help find the exact file variant for your setup, let me know:
Connect your optical drop cable (SC/PC or SC/APC via an appropriate adapter). Navigate to Status > Optical Information . Verify that your RX/TX power levels read within standard tolerances (-8dBm to -27dBm for EPON architectures). Troubleshooting Common Failure States
To attempt a GPON to EPON conversion, you must have the following prepared:
