+if you are familiar with windows & ftp and are able to find an ftp client with similar features to the lftp under linux, you may well skip the linux box

+you may now enter the following command and very quickly power on your Fritz box
+  quote GETENV firmware_version
+if the result is:
+  firmware_version avm
+that means, your Fritz box is the German version and you may switch it to the intentional one by issuing the following command:
+  quote SETENV firmware_version avme
+that's it !  you have now switched your German Fritz box to an International Fritz box
+you can even power off and then power on again your device and without disconnecting your linux lftp, issue the
+  quote GETENV firmware_version
+in-order to confirm that your Fritz returns the international ID
+  firmware_version avme
+you may now use the [[https://download.avm.de/archive/fritz.box/fritzbox.wlan_3370/x_misc/english/|international recovery tool]] to flash your Fritz box with the international firmware which supports both Annex A & Annex B
+the above steps, successfully converted my two German Fritz 3370 to the international version. this same procedure may or may not work on your similar but not exact Fritz box
+Good Luck

+you need [[https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/main/scripts/flashing/eva_ramboot.py|eva_ramboot.py]] along with an [[https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.6/targets/lantiq/xrx200/|initramfs-kernel.bin]] image
+remove power from your fritz box and issue the following command (use the appropriate initramfs-kernel for your box):
+  eva_ramboot.py 192.168.178.1 openwrt-22.03.6-lantiq-xrx200-avm_fritz3370-rev2-micron-initramfs-kernel.bin
+power on your fritz box, wait a few minutes and you should be able to log in 192.168.1.1
