842nd doesnt flash successful with factory image using the tftp-recover over the bootloader
Username: Alexander Couzens
Origin: https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=598
Device: 842nd v3.1
LEDE: 17.01
Go into recovery tftp mode by pressing first the WPS/Reset button and now connect the power.
The device enters tftp recovery to download via tftp from 192.168.0.66 file (wr842nv3_tp_recovery.bin)
The device seems to accept the flash (sorry, no serial to confirm).
On boot, the device doesn’t show leds nor it accepts any packets on ipv6 on any port (ping ff02::1) or ping to 192.168.1.1.
I guess this happens, because the oem flasher doesn’t flash all blocks of the factory image.
To recover from this state:
-
flash via tftp recovery
-
enter LEDE rescue/recovery
-
ssh root@192.168.1.1
-
use sysupgrade image
Task:
-
confirm this happens also with trunk
-
use serial to get more debug
