version 1.88.55 issues with installing

[evgental]

Already bought new LX06 date 03/03/2025 and found that info on page https://github.com/duhow/xiaoai-patch/blob/master/research/lx06/install.md in section backup, where we doing backup of original mtdblocks misprint or my speaker had another mtdblock mapping. Where we backing up system0 update.exe mread store system0 normal 0x2820000 mtd4.img should be update.exe mread store system0 normal 0x2800000 mtd4.img

When used info from install.md show's that error

Parameters that correspond to my speaker is

update.exe mread store bootloader normal 0x200000 mtd0.img 
update.exe mread store tpl normal 0x800000 mtd1.img 
update.exe mread store boot0 normal 0x600000 mtd2.img 
update.exe mread store boot1 normal 0x600000 mtd3.img 
update.exe mread store system0 normal 0x2800000 mtd4.img 
update.exe mread store system1 normal 0x2800000 mtd5.img 
update.exe mread store data normal 0x1400000 mtd6.img

And so after several days of trying I was finally able to get root access to the speaker. What was done for this: 1 - Flashing the file from research/lx06/install.md

option b: the manual way

2 - loading this file via update.exe partition system1 system1.img setting the boot order via ttl setenv boot_part boot1 3 - after flashing, root access to the system appears via ttl/ssh 4 - copying the original firmware using dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/tmp/system0.img and then to the PC using SCP 5 - editing the original firmware file according to the instructions 6 - loading the original_modified firmware into the device. update.exe partition system1 system1_modified.img 7 - now the device has the original firmware ver.1.88.55 with root access and ssh is enabled. I'm stuck here, because I can't figure out what to do next and how to make the device have a web interface on port 80

Got a interesting key in here:

Parameters that correspond to my speaker

It seems that default partition size may differ, probably depending on the board ID that we use. For instance, my Board ID 1 : LX06 8977 256MB has this partition layout, which differs from yours.

mtd4: 02820000 00020000 "system0"
mtd5: 02800000 00020000 "system1"
mtd6: 013e0000 00020000 "data"

On the other side, since you flashed a custom image by yourself, you can add any programs that you'd like. If you want the web interface for the speaker, make sure to build the package dependencies - or simply download and flash the prebuilt image.

Thank's for reply. I've tried to flash the prebuild image from this.

File that I flash in the speaker is mico_firmware_f238c2e_241231_lx06.tar, and after flashing device wont start normally. It trying to boot from mtd5 which not ready at the moment, and then restart and boots from another partition.

[duhow]

What are the steps you did to flash the image?

What are the steps you did to flash the image?

Download mico_firmware_f238c2e_241231_lx06.tar, unpack it. Take root.squahfs and boot.img 1st flash boot.img with update.exe partition boot0 boot.img 2nd flash root.squashfs with update.exe partition system0 root.squashfs

Also I'am little surprised that my speaker has only 128 of ram, it shows when stop uboot. But the device is LX06 black with IR diodes.

@evgental

I also ran into this issue, newly purchased LX06 speaker got stuck in a boot loop when attempting to apply the prebuilt image.

I am far from a Linux expert but tried my hand at getting it working and made some progress.

I extracted the system partition mtd4 from my device I made as a backup, and then ran the patches via the makefile. Some patches didn't apply but I think that's ok since there are multiple versions of them. I missed to build the docker packages first time, so there was a lot of stuff missing.

The makefile release step didn't quite work for some reason but I manually packed the system image back using mksquashfs. I also restored the original boot image to the device.

From here on the device booted but there were a few other issues

Speaker would not connect to wifi. I figured out it was using the incorrect path for the wifi settings which was pointing to /data/wifi/wpa.conf instead of the expected /data/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

This can be edited in /etc/init.d/wireless

#WIRELESS_CONF="/data/wifi/wpa.conf"
WIRELESS_CONF="/data/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf"

After I got the device to connect it still would not get an IP. Turns out udhcpc was not starting automatically, ok just create a new symlink in etc/rc.d/

S62dhcpc -> ../init.d/dhcpc

That makes the dhcpc client starts after the wireless service, but it still doesn't start automatically when doing initial config (requires a reboot).

Possibly there are some more things that need an adjust, but at least it can play music and react to voice commands.

@evgental If you flashed system0, that is mtd4. You should flash also system1 and boot1 if they are empty.

@omnight if you manually patched the same firmware version from your backup, probably it is newer than the Target version which the patch is meant for, this is 1.74.10 in LX06. If you have any additional log details regarding the boot loop you faced and how did you do the flashing might help.
