1.2 installed and unable to load original firmware FW_RT3200_1.0.01.101415_prod #102

When I try to degrade firmware from 1.2.00.273012 all I get after a minute or so is the message "the image file is incorrect".

Any advice on how to get router to reload earlier firmware? Computer connected to LAN 1 and Internet connected to a switch.

Hi!

so - it depens on the reasons why you are downgrading.

If you wanted to install OpenWrt via the UBI installer, then you may not actually need to downgrade, since support for signed images is available!! :) Otherwise, you may try to hack things up to build a signed stock image if no u-boot modifications happened in the meantime from vendor side.

Where to I get the UBI version and instructions on installing when firmware is 1.2 ?

dangowrt commented 2 years ago

It's the same as for earlier versions, just that you have to use the _signed.itb images instead. No downgrading needed what-so-ever. Ie. just download and flash openwrt-22.03-snapshot-r19338-ae64d0624c-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer_signed.itb.

Danel,

 

Would you know if a GUI(Luci) is included ?

 

Thanks,

Riochi

Yes, all images offered for download here come with LuCI preinstalled.

mrkiko commented 2 years ago

Closing this issue right now. Feel free to re-open it in case it's needed!

I think you should change the readme file . The downgrading content part of it is confusing.

Daniel,Install worked great. Could you provide a link where I could look for updates?Also, am I correct in assuming that backups taken from snapshots can't be restored?Thank you,Rich--Sent from my Android phone with GMX Mail. Please excuse my brevity.On 6/2/22, 7:20 PM Daniel Golle @.***> wrote:

You can't (and that's intentional, complain at Belkin/Linksys).

You can, however, use the _signed version of the installer and install OpenWrt without having to downgrade to v1.0.
