The firmware image will locate at <extrated directory>/bin/brcm963xx/zyxel/ras.bin
You can use it update VMG8825-B50B by using the firmware update procedure.
7. Change default password
Make a copy of the sysconfig.tar.gz file located in NOMEFIRMWARE/build_dir/target-arm_v7-a_uClibc-0.9.32_eabi/root-brcm963xx/etc/
Extract it with tar xzvf sysconfig.tar.gz
Using your preferred editor (vi, nano, leafpad...), modify both files as follows:
zcfg_config.json to set, in plain text, a password for each user (example, under "Username": "admin"; fill in "Password": "NEWPASSWORD").
zcfg_predef.json change "AdminRandomPassword": true to false
Repack: tar czvf sysconfig.tar.gz {zcfg_config.json,zcfg_predef.json}
Copy the new sysconfig.tar.gz back to its place
8. Reassemble firmware
From the main firmware folder, run the command ```make merge_firmware``` and wait for it to finish. At this point you will have the new firmware (ras.bin) in FIRMWAREFOLDER/bin/brcm963xx/zyxel/
9. Flash the firmware (resetting everything to factory defaults)
From the graphical menu, no explanation needed
Via bootloader, just search the forum, anyway, ATUR ipaddresstftpserver:releasename
