I checked the newest 4.2.8283 upgrade file, and libnickel contains the same upgrade link, so I assume that this hack can be applied to that firmware too. I don't know the mechanism of the Sync there, but there shouldn't be too much change. If anyone owning a device capable of that firmware could test it to see if it works.
I also figured out a way (only in my mind yet) to only patch the libnickel and no need for a hosts file, even in a (semi-)automated way, so no need to set a fix IP.
Basicly you just need to modify the patch to point to your PC's hostname, and add some fill-up characters to the end to match the length. You could (and this is what I'm going to do) change the listening port of the webserver and add the port to the patch.

I'm using this now to apply modifications to my translation, if I find any glitches.
