[22.03.0] 22.03.0 bricks Netgear EX6150v1 ramips MT7621

Open masterblaster79 opened this issue 2 years ago • 8 comments

Hi folks.

I tried to install 22.03.0 on the Netgear EX6150v1 device and it fails to boot. sysupgrade was used with the "-n" option to purge settings.

Upon reboot the device just sits there with orange LED being solid (every 30 seconds or so the LED flickers a few ms - I guess it's in a reboot loop). Also it's not possible to enter failsafe. The only way to recover is using nmrpflash with the 21.02.3 .chk file.

Unfortunately I do not have UART connected. I opened the device once, but I was unable to identify the correct solder pads and the wiki has no photos..

21.02.3 works flawlessly though.

Same problem on HiWiFi HC5962. Neither sysupgrade nor factory image can boot successfully.

I have the same problem with Netgear WDNR4700, had to debrick by getting back to 21.02.3-apm821xx-nand-netgear_wrdr4700.

Any news about this? Does 22.03.1 fix this?

I believe it's LZMA ERROR: 064e7e57b483e6879de0facef4f1fce86ec4ad47 Please try to add $(Device/uimage-lzma-loader) between line 1393 and 1394: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/cb24be47ffda12616a0670e9d29a96f9530a19b8/target/linux/ramips/image/mt7621.mk#L1393-L1394

Will applying the changes to mt7621.mk be effective for images created with ImageBuilder or is compilation required? I tried with ImageBuilder only and it didn't work.

The kernel needs to be compiled with that option.

Adding $(Device/uimage-lzma-loader) fixes the issue.

HC5962 profile is loacted in line 881, so I should add another $(Device/uimage-lzma-loader) to it from what I understand. But I have to set up Openwrt Build System for image compilation, let's give it a try.

Yes, adding $(Device/uimage-lzma-loader) fixes HC5962 boot issue.
