// =============== WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ===============
// This tool is UNSAFE, no check no second chance, one wrong write and your device could be permanently bricked!
// If you are going to try this, make a full backup of NAND and save information from ATCK & ATBL commands
// Only tested on VMG4005-B60A with CFE 1.0.38-164.255
// =============== WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! ===============
// How to:
// 1. You probably need to be root on the device already ( generated from SN or exploit )
// 2. Edit main to firstly save nvram
// 3. Build this "arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -static Zyxel_CFE_nvram_EngDebugFlag.c -o nvramcfe"
// 4. Upload to /tmp/ and run
// 5. Edit nvram with whatever you want, Debug flag was byte before "Default Country Code" on my device (find in ATSH output)
// 6. Edit main to write nvram
// 7. Rebuild & upload tool and .bin
// 8. Run to write your new nvram.bin to device
// 9. Reboot and pray i guess....
