Stuck in recovery mode #136

Open irishguy90 opened 1 year ago

irishguy90 commented 1 year ago

I recently updated the firmware on the rt320 via the gui and noticed the WiFi could work so I held in the reset button to see if that would resolve it but it's didn't. Instead it booted to recovery mode and no matter what firmware I flash with it just goes back to recovery

I also have the same issue. WiFi was non-functional after upgrade, so I attempted to rollback via an older image, and now I am in recovery mode with flashing having no effect.

You have most likely flashed a wrong image. Please see https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/issues/104

Iv read the guide tried flashing most the firmwares and used some command but they don't work

This what comes up with some command iv tried

root@OpenWrt:~# ubinfo -a UBI version: 1 Count of UBI devices: 0 UBI control device major/minor: 10:63 root@OpenWrt:~# ubinfo -d 0 -n 5 -a ubinfo: error!: cannot get information about UBI volume 5 on ubi0 error 2 (No such file or directory) root@OpenWrt:~# hexdump -C /dev/ubi0_4 | head -n 34 hexdump: /dev/ubi0_4: No such file or directory

the files im trying are ede-mediatek-mt7622-MTK-AX3200-MT7531-squashfs-sysupgrade openwrt-22.03.1-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer openwrt-22.03.0-rc1-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-squashfs-sysupgrade [ openwrt-22.03.1-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb

iv even tried FW_RT3200_1.0.01.101415_prod.img and still stuck in recovery iv also tried Switch device power off. 3x Switch device power on for 2 seconds, then off again. Switch device power on, the device should now boot to the alternative partition. and also powered off for 10 seconds after using openwrt-22.03.1-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-initramfs-recovery-installer.itb still stuck in recovery. im not sure now what else as iv been trying for few days now and still stuck in recovery

rm /sys/fs/pstore/* does nothing

dangowrt commented 1 year ago

You need to do things in the right order. So: Step 1: rm /sys/fs/pstore/* Step 2: sysupgrade https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.3/targets/mediatek/mt7622/openwrt-22.03.3-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb

Do not reboot after rm /sys/fs/pstore/*, directly proceed to sysupgrade the correct file.

rm: can't remove '/sys/fs/pstore/*': No such file or directory tried that link and again straight back to recovary

damo901 commented 1 year ago

this what comes up with these commands ls /sys/fs/pstore (nothing shows) cd /sys/fs/pstore vim dmesg-ramoops-0 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

i think its fixed. i tried these again

Using PSTORE/ramoops

While running the production firmware enter this command in the shell

echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Once the router has rebooted into recovery mode, clear PSTORE to make it reboot into production mode again:

rm /sys/fs/pstore/*

Just wanted to say i too had this problem - flashed two units with the files provided in this repo and was working on configuring one with VLANs - after a save and apply - ended up in this reboot loop for no apparent reason.

I followed these direction above and that appears to have resolved the issue

While running the production firmware enter this command in the shell

echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Once the router has rebooted into recovery mode, clear PSTORE to make it reboot into production mode again:

rm /sys/fs/pstore/*
