Cannot extract DD-WRT firmware Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  subversion build-essential zlib1g-dev zlib1g installed, machine is also 
used to compile/make/extract debian packages
2.  Attempt to extract firmware by using $ ./extract-ng.sh 
dd-wrt.v24-13064_vint_std-nokaid.bin
3.  Alternatively attempt to extract firmware by using $ ./extract_firmware.sh 
dd-wrt.v24-13064_vint_std-nokaid.bin firmware

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Try an older DD-WRT build and see if it is successful. This will provide clues 
as to whether this is a new development. There has been at least one change to 
the DD-WRT web UI that will prevent it from being extracted. Other than that 
change, perhaps no applicable changes were made to more recent versions of 
DD-WRT. Nobody has gotten around to playing cat and mouse with their latest 
attempt to make their 'free open source' software as difficult as possible to 
change.

This particular firmware version is DD-WRT v24-sp2 (11/02/09) std-nokaid, and I 
have tried other versions as well, some dating back to 2008 with no luck, same 
results each time. Mainly I just want to insert a correct ssl certificate for 
my usage and some packages for IPv6 related.

Replacing previous comment. I'll look at it when I get a chance. I don't know 
what would cause the failure, especially when testing against older DD-WRT 
builds. Perhaps some errata was introduced into the FMK itself, I haven't tried 
extracting and rebuilding DD-WRT myself anytime recently. When I check up on 
it, I'll update this issue.

pmcefx, you'll have to provide the exact DD-WRT firmware image you are working 
with. I just successfully extracted and re-built a DD-WRT image for the WRT160N 
router (v24-SP2, build 14896) with the latest FMK trunk.

First in question. I get errors with either image as described above.

Since Craig tested with build 14896 and you are using 13064, is there a reason 
you can't upgrade to 14896? Also, the issue may be your PC configuration or 
pre-requisites, as those older images should have worked.. though now the new 
images do too thanks to Craig.

Some features I use were lost in the newer builds. As far as testing with my 
setup, I resorted to sticking with what works best for features, speed of 
pass-thru, etc.

Also I tried with several downloads, all prerequisites were met for 
dependencies, on a dual-core 2.8G Dell, like I stated before, I am always using 
this unit for compiling.

Indeed, DD-WRT is prone to extreme ... variances .. between what works in any 
particular build, in my opinion. So, question answered ;).
