Hi guy's
It seems its not my first time that happens, but sometimes after CLI flash i loose control over the router and cannot reboot or execute any other command...like shell is gone...47874>47893
I can use dropbear but no commands or GUI access..
apart of physical reboot is there a way how to reactivate shell via SSh?


root@WR1043NDv2:~# reboot
-sh: nvram: I/O error
-sh: chmod: I/O error
-sh: /tmp/.rc_shutdown: Permission denied
-sh: /sbin/reboot: I/O error
root@WR1043NDv2:~#startservice httpd
-sh: nvram: I/O error

Whatever shutdown scripts you are running should probably be removed or disabled when you are upgrading via CLI as it seems to cause issues. If you have the same issues upgrading via webUI, then you should probably consider this when upgrading by any method. To answer your question: the only option is a reboot by power switch, most likely, since I don't know if 'poweroff' will get you in trouble.

10's giuliomagnifico as it came into my mind, i tried it too, but it seams for some odd reason, shell is down, it happens, sometimes...once in a while..

KP-69 noting in the shutdown script that will interfere...and if i have no physical access to the button or power switch, it's funny...have to wait...its a company router, where only i have control over it and its locked in the IT network room Razz ...

In fact router is fully functional..
so, my idea was if i can break something, like shutdown/kill vital process via htop and force it to autoshutdown kind of...or a way to restart shell..

Why not upload the file as "firmware.bin" it will update automatically (and reboot etc) if cron is running

Nothing to see here... you bricked one of these because your shutdown script hung the router, and I am not the one who said this in the emails Rolling Eyes

I would try /sbin/reboot like easyddup does since by default reboot is a function in /etc/profile

Welcome to "the general mass.." Wink ref. first reply to easyddup thread.

I'm sure there is a valid explanation for what caused this, but we'll never get it. I have a couple of these in service myself with DD-WRT and have no issues upgrading via webUI or CLI or using a reboot command via ssh. There's more to the picture than meets the eye here. Not trying to play rugby here or be rude, it's just pretty obvious that there is something wrong and it is user-induced.

it could be (not that you are rude Razz )... up to a use err..
the odd bit... it happens on random basis...not only on my 1043v2 and not every time...for example with almost identical set up, it happened on 1 of the 1043v2 but not on the other 1043v2...
