I was trying to debrick my router. Tried stock firmwares and their forks and even Tomato without success, I managed to flash OpenWRT 18.06.1 successfully. The debrick process requires two more steps: erase a factory partition marked as mtd5 partition and flash a modified CFE bootloader.
- However, the OpenWRT layout was different and it seemed to use some kind of new filesystem ubifs, right? I did not see that factory partition or even the normal rootfs, rootfs_data. Is there anyway I can mount/see those kinds of partitions?
- I uploaded the tool for flashing the modified CFE ("mtd-write") and chmoded it. However, even when I was in the same directory containing the tool, when I executed the tool, OpenWRT just gave out an error as if it could not see the tool to run ("--ash: command not found"). Why would that happen? How could I make OpenWRT see and execute an uploaded binary? (Btw, I see that OpenWRT has a "mtd" tool, don't know if that can be used to write Asus CFE to boot partition?)
I really know nothing about OpenWRT, and the new 18.06.1 seems to have some new features that the wiki has not covered. So, hope someone can give me some explanation/instructions for this issue. Thanks in advance.
