Posted: Tue Mar 03, 2015 23:28 Post subject: Reset
Hey guys, I installed the firmware above and gotit working then I tried to setup bridge mode. Somewhere I screwed up and I believe I killed the dhcp server. Is there a backdoor address to reset it? I tried using the red reset switch in the back to hard reset it but nothing changes. Any help is needed. Thanks.
Love the updated openwrt firmware!!! It One question: Can someone provide a version of the firmware with openVPN/PPTP/LT2P already installed?
Thank you!!

Thank you!!
When I try to flash the new firmware image through the web interface it says "It appears that you try to flash an image that does not fit into the flash memory, please verify the image file!" I used openwrt-ar71xx-generic-xwr100-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
I compiled the latest version if anyone is interested, it uses kernel 4.1.13 and includes luci by default. Everything seems to be functioning but my setup isn't super complex.

I'm not, I just needed the updated kernel and figured I would share. _________________ Eko Builds

I there autobot.
thanks for the recompiled file.
I uploaded it to the XWR100. At first, it said the firmware does not fit into the flash memory. I said WTF and proceed anyways.
seemed to fix a problem in the router where my WAN port went dead/not recognized with the previous openwrt firmware based on kernal 3.3.8 / openwrt 12.09 / luci 0.11.1
Anyways, your firmware seemed to reset my router/flash ok and it seems to be working/
not sure why the "flash does not fit in memory" error popped up but just wanted to report it is working

Like a dummy I couldn't leave well enough alone and really messed up my board, and looking for any help how to recover.
Unhappy with the factory firmware I flashed to the openwrt 12.09 w/ kernel 3.3.8 and used that for at least a year (amazing the difference). Then I wanted to enable the SQM features in the newer versions. I even tried out the kernel 3.18.20 and 4.1.4 versions that have been posted here. Still a noob at building my own I thought instead I could take the easy path and use the 3.18.20 version and upgrade through the packages (even though the kernels didn't match exactly - chaos calmer 15.05 uses 3.18.23). When that obviously didn't work I had to flash the rootfs through serial port. I actually managed to recover but still wanted to try out the SQM features, so I kept going. I did so many things after this point I am not sure what I did anymore, but I now have 2 issues.
1. Bad Magic Number - I have tried flashing several different files including the original factory firmware without success and I am unsure how to get back to any working version.
2. BOARD IS NOT CALIBRATED!!! - I believe this pretty much killed things unless someone can make a backup of the full flash. Does anyone know how to deal with this? Pretty sure I erased too much during one of the flash attempts (erase 0xbf040000 +0x7c0000) I never erased anything outside this range but thinking it should have been +0x7a0000 and that maybe the last 2 sectors held the calibration data?
Also, if anyone has successfully built the chaos calmer 15.05.1 that would be awesome. I imagine there is something unique about this router that can't use the generic build, and being a noob I am not sure how to merge the unique modifications with the current repository to be able to build my own correctly. (not even sure that made sense to anyone)
edit: looking closer I see that the cal data was stored in the last 64k.
mtdparts=ar7100-nor0:192k(uboot),64k(env),6144k(rootfs),1728k(uImage),64k(caldata)
I don't know if the cal data is unique to each individual board or if its common to the xwr100. If there is any chance that its common can someone post the caldata from theirs? Or is it that it will function but in a degraded/non-optimized state?

There is a wholeflash dump on page 3 of this thread, you can extract caldata out of it.
Your problems flashing Openwrt does not belong here, they have their own forum.. _________________ Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler!

I made the same mistake. I deleted the bootloader too. I erased the entire flash memory. Now I need the complete flash dump. Can someone help me out?
I compiled the latest version if anyone is interested, it uses kernel 4.1.13 and includes luci by default. Everything seems to be functioning but my setup isn't super complex.
I installed the above firmware, but unfortunately openVPN 2.3.7-1 does not support tls-crypt and I have no idea how to compile new openvpn version. Can you please help?
