If you’re on 1.10 or later, use SSH instead of telnet

Hi!

Does t work anymore.
I manage to get access to failsave using the backside reset button.

Anyway is unable to do firstboot:

Code: Select all

root@(none):~# mount_root
root@(none):~# firstboot
This will erase all settings and remove any installed packages. Are you sure? [N/y]
y
/dev/ubi0_1 is not mounted
/dev/ubi0_1 will be erased on next mount
writing /dev/ubi0_1 failed: Operation not permitted

/overlay is empty.

And nothing changes.

Also tried with jffs2reset.

Code: Select all

root@(none):~# ls /dev/
console             mtd10               mtd4                mtd8ro              mtdblock4           port                ubi0_1

Try sysupgrading to a new image from within the failsafe environment.

How i do?
First time i need use failsafe environment.

Many thanks!

You’ll need to use something like WinSCP to transfer the image into /tmp.
Then do something like
sysupgrade -n /tmp/name_of_image_file.img

Fixed!

For knowledge base:

What i do:
All using wire:
PC: 192.168.1.2;
Mask: 255.255.255.0;
Gate: 192.168.1.1;

Cable on router;
Power on;
Power led on;
Press reset on bottom of router and keep pressed;
Led flash orange, keep pressing;
Led green, keep;
Led flash green you release reset button;
Ok.

Get your image file FACTORY. (I use Gargoyle Factory);
Rename the file for something simple eg: factory.img;
Now send a image file factory.img in BINARY using tftp;
Finish;
Router will reset;
Router like a new.
