I was of the understanding the 302 is identical from a hardware point of view. I'm sure you can fix the firmware to standard 202 if you consult Obihai. I would open a support ticket with them.
Thanks. I'll try that

Has anyone tried flashing with 202 firmware? Maybe ask Obihai if they can do it?
Thanks. I put in a support ticket.
The drop down list for the device didn't include a 302, however. On my first try it kicked out as an error because I selected a 202 and the device OBi # didn't match up with the OBi 202 I had selected from the drop down list. I had to redo it as "other".
It would be sweet if they could somehow "flash" it or whatever. Hopefully it is something they can and will do for me.

Like I said I would talk to them first but this is what I think they will have you do.

Download the latest firmware for the 202.

Go to the local admin page:

Access the OBi Device Management Web Page:
1. From a phone attached to the OBi, dial * * * to access the OBi Config Attendant.
2. Choose “1” to hear the IP Address of the OBi read back to you. Write this down.
3. Enter the OBi IP Address in a local PC web browser address field:
4. When prompted, enter “admin” for user name and “admin” for password.
When you access the OBi device management web page, you will be prompted for a user name and password. There are two levels of access to the OBi web page – User Level and Admin Level. The default “user name / password” for User Level access is “user / user”. The default “user name / password” for Admin Level access is “admin / admin”. The Admin and/or User passwords may have been changed using the OBi device web page, provisioning by a service provider or via the OBiTALK web portal (Admin only). Please be sure you have access to the correct Admin or User password before you attempt to log on to the OBi Device Management Web Page.
The OBi device management web page is organized into sections to allow for a manageable and compartmentalized approach to configuring the many hundreds of parameters available on the OBi device. Use the expandable / collapsible menu tree on the left side of the page to easily navigate the various configuration parameter sections of the OBi device.
Then manually update.

Updating Firmware:
You may upgrade the firmware for your OBi device from the device configuration web page. The firmware file with which you want to upgrade the device must be stored locally on a computer from which you can access with a web browser.
Follow these steps to upgrade:
Step 1: Select the, “System Management – Device Update” menu on the side panel of the web page.
Step 2: Specify the path of the firmware file by clicking the, “Select file to upgrade firmware” box or pressing the, “Browse” button in the Firmware Update section of the page. This will present a file browser window where you can navigate to and select the firmware file.
Step 3: Upon selection of the firmware file, press the “Update” button to start the upgrade process.
The entire process will take about 30 seconds to complete. Note that you MUST NOT disconnect the power from the device during this procedure. If the new firmware is upgraded successfully, the OBi device will reboot automatically to start running the new firmware. Otherwise the page will show an error message explaining why upgrade has failed.

I did some more looking around and I think there might be some kind of a flag or jumper set on the device because it looks like the Obi302 and Obi202 are running the same firmware. That suggests a regular or manual firmware update might not be enough to switch it over. I bet there is a special file needed to make the switch.
JeffDB:
Thanks for the info & all the work, giqcass.
Hopefully they'll be able to figure something out. It seems like a waste to have to be shipping them back & forth if the hardware is actually the same, or can be rectified/adjusted fairly easily.
I guess we'll see soon enough.
Fwiw, it does seem to me that if these are locked for specific providers they shouldn't be selling them on Amazon to the general public.
Anyway, thanks again.
