Gargoyle Forum

Hi Guys

How do you install Gargoyle on a router that has Open WRT 15.05 ?

The router is a TP-Link WR841N v10 that I have Open WRT working on succesfully

WR841Nv10 does not have an official Gargoyle release yet so I am trying to see if the v9 release will load into it

I have tried the Gargoyle WR8421v9 thru Luci but it wont load, comes back with " The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format" when I try to load to load the (gargolyversion)-sysupgrade.bin file. Have tried both the factory.bin sysupgrade.bin without luck.

Have tried renaming etc but no luck...

Any ideas....any help would be appreciated

Keep trying, and if you get lucky you will end up with a brick

MMm...A brick....well I suppose I could start to build a house with them

So basically until there is a Gargoyle v10 for this WR841 I will spend much time pulling hair and using bad language..

Which is strange as the open WRT works fine on it and I would have thought that Gargoyle would be able to work over the top of open WRT.

I have V8 & v9 of the WR841 on Gargoyle and they are fine ( althought this was a straight from factory --> Gargoyle flash )

This is a build-in protection to stop idiots like you from bricking the router from flashing incompatible ROM.

Well that does make a lot of sense, I just thought there may have been a slim chance that it could work

I'm here to be the bearer of other bad news, but it's looking like we won't be doing 4MB routers, so support for the V10 is looking not good.

as you have posted in Feature Request
I will no longer be accepting requests for routers with 4MB of flash. The images no longer reliably fit into this size and it is a counterproductive use of my time and yours.
