@Alan Brown . . "Details, please."

the procedure is detailed in German somewhere on the web and relies on Russian apps!; I was able to meld a 7490 Artikel-Nummer 2000 2584 = German Edition (Annex B) into a UK Fritz, started I think, by using #991*15901590* as the reset code, typed into a DTMF phone. . .then basically it is first tricked into running telnet & then the internal Linux image is changed to not cause errors with english firmware, then re-imaged before flashing to the ‘box

the UK FW came from http://download.avm.de/fritz.box/fritzbox.7490/firmware/english/ [ I was successful with VERSION FRITZ.Box_7490.en-de-es-it-fr-pl.113.06.20.image 2014-10-18]

a typical Deutsch mention of the mythical rukerneltool Zitat Zitat von cedric1982 Beitrag anzeigen

Mit dem rukerneltool das branding von "avm" auf "avme" änderen, box neu starten und anschliessend mit einem international recovery flashen. etc, it did eventually work - I had a 0.5 second window in which to launch via telnet the new english F/W into the very firmly DE Fritzbox, lots of little tiding up needed

read http://rukerneltool.rainerullrich.de/FAQ.html via ChromeBrowser for the (nearly) correct info in translated English and an article from 2007 does some slight hacking [using the correct meaning of the word] & guiding http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=97250
