Hello fffffolks,

I could really use some help flashing my LevelOne WAP-0007.

What I did so far:

got those files:
ftp://download.level1.info/firmware/WAP-0007(R4.00b5)_2006-01-13.zip
http://download.conceptronic.net/CONNECTIVITY/CHD2WLANU/CHD2WLANU_FW_R400b7.zip

renamed the firmware files to
R400b5
R400b7

on linux i then swapped the headers:

-head -c 400 r400b5.bin > r400b5.bin.header
-tail -c +209 r400b7.bin > r400b7.bin.body
-cat r400b5.bin.header r400b7.bin.body > r400b7_b5header.bin

after that i logged into my wap-0007 webinterface and uploaded the firmware.

the device restarted.
after restart it shows firmware version:
Version Number :R4.00b5

I was happy that the "hack" was successful.
So from the downloads section i downloaded
upgrade-v4.img.gz
I unpacked it once under Windows, once under Linux, but each time the resulting .img file wont upload with the following error:
"Unallowable Upgrade File"

I also tried the crash recovery method. While this works with any original firmware (or such hacked as stated above), it wont work with this image.

What am I doing wrong?

Extremely cool!

I chose the Firmware file you suggested and hacked it with a b5 header of my original WAP-0007 Firmware.

I will try to attach the hacked Firmware if anyone needs it.

Then I was able to flash this attached firmware to my WAP-0007.
Didn't complain this time.
After that i successfully flashed upgrade_v4.img.

I was suprised to see that the webinterface looks like before. 
But I am able to telnet into a busybox shell, so i assume that the hack was successful???

Thanks!
