I'd hold out to see what develops in the next few weeks.
This is what the developer of the 3rd party firmware said:
https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r31953201-
I interpret that as it won't happen in the near future and maybe never.
GPz1100:
If one can figure out how to disable the ota updates they can surely figure out how to manually update as well.
Further, obi already has contact information for all registered obi devices. Google voice would never work otherwise. It would be minimal effort to write an email blast script to update device owners with outdated firmware.
Heavy handed tactics like automatically pushing firmware when auto firmware update is disabled doesn't reflect well on the company.

The third party firmware is useless. It will stop working when Google turns off their XMPP servers.
Just bite the bullet and buy a new OBi. See the cost calculation earlier in this thread. BFD.
well, I have a 110 and a 200... 110 Now working thanks to very smart people here..
200 seems Bricked from latest update.. I'm waiting/hoping for a fix..
meantime, 110 works, I have a phone.. life is good, guys , pls keep up the great work you do, a few people prolly write/complain here, I'd guess Dozens for each writer, are either getting things to work, or very frustrated with the system... btw, google is great at announcing things, and, not following thru quickly so, I'm hoping for a long run here.. thanks again to you programmers!

I don't understand why you bash them and call it "heavy handed". You are looking at things from a hobbyist/VoIP enthusiast perspective. You are probably one of less than 0.1% of the total user base. This isn't a Raspberry Pi or PC running a PBX. The very large majority of customers just want to buy an appliance, hook it up, and keep it working. Think like a non-techie customer, and you should be able to understand that the very large majority of customers would be screaming and stirring up a shit storm if all their units stopped working at once. Now, that would not reflect well on a company.

Where are those three pages? Do you mind sharing the source of the instructions? Thanks!
He's probably referring to this: http://www.obifirmware.com/OAuth2/
Note: not compatible with non-XMPP Google Voice.
Thanks a lot for the pointer!
After I updated the firmware with 'naf', I was planning to proceed to go though those 3 pages of ATA Manual Configuration. However, I noticed that my Obi110 showed the green light indicating that the device functions well. So, in the end, the firmware update itself was good enough to revive my Obi110.
I guess that I should consider purchasing an Obi2xx soon.
Thanks again for the help!
