Gargoyle Forum

version 1.4.7 is working nicely in client mode so far
DHCP disabled, repeater mode disabled. Connected ok to my main "G" 54 mbps wireless network.

Issue is resolved.

The internal voltage regulator was damaged, providing 4V to the memory chip instead of 3.3V.

Replaced the regulator and proceeded with standard redboot method and all is ok. Now, flashing with gargoyle! Which is the version you would recommend?

Hardware inspection:

LDO 3.3V damaged! output is @ 4V.
This is the rail that powers the flash. 4V is the absolute max for the flash, maybe this is the cause for errors.

I orderded a new LDO 3.3V, DPAK, to replace. I will post results.

Well... I have some good news! I let the router in the cold, unpowered some hours. After I turned it on, I imediatly issued a "fis init -f" command! I lost connectivity, but after some minutes (I was way, but it was less than 45 mins) I have now some good areas on flash: RedBoot> fis list ...

Maybe... i just want to be sure, so I can have peace of mind
Also, it is always a good opportunity to learn something. For example, what is to be expected to get with "fis list" after we do "fis init"?

The image list is empty...

The router seems to be having some flash problems. Even editing and saving the boot script seems not to work. When I reboot, it still has the default values. I already tried "fis init -f" several times I already erased nvram. I also tried to load "linux.bin" and "exec" ...

Ok,

I have discovered that the write/erase opeations are taking a huge time to complete!! I let the router doing FIS INIT all night and it was completed in teh morning.

Can someone point me how to load Gargoyle manually? That is, without fonflash? I need to load and execute very gradually...

I lose connection everytime I do a "fis init" command. The fis list is now empty! I can still access to Redboot, I can transfer a "linux.bin" firmware file ok, but when I try to create the partition with "fis create linux", the connetion is lost (i'm monitoring with pin...

I did the operation in 2 Foneras. The 2nd one was OK, same method. The first had some probelmas already, before using Fonflash. I can now acess to redboot, it is on the received IP (via DHCP), port 9000, mode telnet. What should I do now to cure the router? "fis list" shows: RedBoot> fis l...

Hello, I had this old router with DD-WRT on it, a Fonera 2100. Somehow, the DD-WRT got corrupted, but I still had access to Redboot on 192.168.1.254. Anyway, the dd-wrt support forum is awful and the build I was using was not working correctly in client mode. Hence, I got the idea to try out Gargoyl...
