Before flashing, check your hardware ID.

If you see GPON, your board is physically GPON. Flashing EPON likely fails.
Unverified or corrupt firmware causes:
A verified firmware means that dozens of users have tested the specific .bin file on a physical HG8245H, confirming that the web interface changes to “EPON mode,” the PON LED behaves correctly, and the device registers with an EPON OLT (e.g., ZTE, Huawei MA5600T in EPON mode).
If you need to use an EPON connection, you have two options: firmware huawei hg8245h gpon to epon verified
# via telnet/ssh (if enabled)
dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=/tmp/gpon_backup.bin
After rebooting, check the status:

If it shows Epon mode but the laser is -inf dBm, the hardware driver failed to load. You must revert to GPON. Before flashing, check your hardware ID
Warning: This will reset all configurations. Have your ISP’s EPON VLAN ID, LOID, or MAC address ready.
