Unable to run the tool on Kali linux

[edwinsunder]

The below errors occur

1. Does anyone have a compiled binary executable for hwfw?
2. Tested with more than one BIN file - anyway the errors are talking about the script having an issue.
3. Just FYI - I have a HG8145v device that I am trying to unlock - It lets me go to shell but i cant do anything there except for exit or run one .sh file
4. Main question once unpacked and then modified - will I be able to burn this Modified/edited firmware from the routers webpage - where it lets you select and upgrade firmware's from?
5. Or will it need the HW_ONT_Tool.exe to burn/write the firmware to router?

─# python hwfw.py unpack -v -r fw/ ./test2/R020.bin

I don't know if you are still trying to achieve the above task.

But this python script is written in python2 not in python3.
