LEDE 17.01.1 boot loop on Asus RT-N56U ramips, rt3883
Username: Timo Valtoaho
Origin: https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=735
After upgrading 17.01.0⇒17.01.1 router won’t boot up at all. After image is flashed and router reboots, power light flashes, then it lits up, followed by LAN light. Then they both go down and it starts all over again. PWR light flashes, then stays on, LAN follows, and reboot.
Tested both downloaded lede-17.01.1-ramips-rt3883-rt-n56u-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin and lede-17.01.1-ramips-rt3883-rt-n56u-squashfs-factory.bin, as well as builded image using lede-imagebuilder-17.01.1-ramips-rt3883.Linux-x86_64.tar.xz. SHA256 sums verified. All fails.
Problem occurs every time, no matter whether I flash it using Luci, sysupgrade via
SSH
or Asus native firmware restoration utility.
Recovery is done by flashing any other FW, padawan, openwrt or lede 17.01.0 using Asus FW restoration utility. It is only way to connect to router when bootlooping, no
SSH
or telnet connection.
Sounds identical to #733 (closed):
