Flashes via nmrpflash, reboots, goes into a "[init] : wait for nvram write to finish", then eventually reboots to image corrupted / TFTP recovery mode. Already emailed BrainSlayer. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

r52802 "relocate nvram" and 52804 "fix offset" in NETGEAR-WNDR3700V5.dts one step closer to testing by anyone.
Also, thank you BrainSlayer for looking into DTS (after reviewing Sercomm factory image rules and requirements).
Edit: It's alive! V1.1.0.32_1.0.1 to 05-30-2023-r52805 up 15 mins, router name, disable ttraff reboot settings kept!
Include dmesg, nvram show, screenshots router status, info, wireless, wireless status, mac addr, no wlan1 2.4 GHz.

Thanks for your diligence (read:hyperfocus). I don't allow one specific thing to eat at me like that much. It's unhealthy. That, and I've been dealing with a stubborn RAX120, among other projects loosely (read:directly) related to DD-WRT. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Links to svn-dot-dd-dash-wrt-dot-com are development commits, not download links. Probably best to wait for the next beta. Still waiting on word about fixing the 2.4 band. The configuration for it is not present in the webUI currently. I haven't looked into the code myself, but I did contact the lead developer regarding the successful flashing of 52805 alpha firmware image, as I am sure @blkt did as well. Patience required when these things are being worked through. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Web upgrade to 52826 alpha successful, but still no 2.4 band wifi.
EDIT: I had emailed BrainSlayer about this and the following is the response I received:
Quote:
trivial. the device has a curious other chipset on board. firmware is missing. i will fix that
I haven't seen any public development commits, so the rule of patience still holds. There are other priorities and life outside of this community, even for him. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"

Strictly out of curiosity, when BrainSlayer said it "has a curious other chipset on board" did you infer that was for the wireless, or is it another chipset with an unidentified use?
Was it not correctly investigated by OpenWRT? _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

ramips: add factory image for WNDR3700v5
This uses the existing rules for Sercomm factory images and moves them
to the ramips image Makefile, so they can be used in all subtargets.
The new factory image for WNDR3700v5 can be flashed using nmrpflash.

I think what dale is trying to ask is if openWRTs firmware already has functional wifi for this router, why are we trying to find the solution ourselves when they already have one that we could use?
Its like they figured out 2+2=4 but we are trying to figure out what 2+2 equals.
