Adding OpenWrt support for ZBT Z8102AX

Hi,
@Dairyman from the ROOTer Team has initially added support for this router, unfortunately there is a problem with the hardware watchdog which restarts the router every 1/2 minute. I'm starting this topic with the thought that maybe someone has had a similar problem before and can tell us how to solve it.

It looks like the watchdog uses gpio 2, here is their DTS.
As a simple solution you can export gpio 457 on startup as an output and run a script with a toggle action.
Here is the OEM script found on another ZBT device:

#!/bin/sh

echo 1 >/sys/class/gpio/gpio37/value
    sleep 1
echo 0 >/sys/class/gpio/gpio37/value
    sleep 1
echo 1 >/sys/class/gpio/gpio37/value
    sleep 1
echo 0 >/sys/class/gpio/gpio37/value
    sleep 1

There is a GPIO WDT driver in the kernel, so please add that to the DTS and use it.

I don't know if this helps.

Mega Folder with 4 firmwares

mega

I have tested the two OPENWRT firmwares (230727 and 231102 and they work, not bug free, but I can flash them without anyproblem). I have NOT flashed the two ZBT own Operating System firmwares. Just in case I can not recover the router.

Bye,

I have tried to use this firmware but after the upgrade router is not coming back and even unabel to reset .

I am trying to upgrade factory firmware with snapshot firmware. I got following warning:

Thu Jan 25 20:29:09 UTC 2024 upgrade: Device mediatek,mt7981-emmc-rfb-z8102ax not supported by this image Thu Jan 25 20:29:09 UTC 2024 upgrade: Supported devices: zbtlink,zbt-z8102ax Image check failed.

The uploaded image file does not contain a supported format. Make sure that you choose the generic image format for your platform.

Can I upgrade ? I don't want to brick my device. My device has extra EMMC memory.

Hi! I created an account for this thread and to share our recent findings from the ROOTer community (an OpenWrt fork/overlay). I'm in now way a spokesperson nor a developer there.

The Z8102AX spans interest for ROOTer because it can sport two M.2 modems (with antennas plug) and is pretty powerful. I bought it recently for using with ROOTer.

First to answer your question: the reason the stock firmware (OpenWrt fork from ZBT) says it's not supported, is only that:

In the factory firmware the router model is identified as "mt7981-emmc-rfb-z8102ax", while in OpenWrt, the devs called it "zbt-z8102ax". Thus, the firmware believes the update firmware is not the correct one. You should check "force" and uncheck "preserve settings". If you can't flash, you are not running OpenWrt, but ZBT OS: check for OpenWrt written on the bottom right and there isn't follow IceG GitHub instructions.

Before that, though, please read on the latest findings. ZBT updated the more recent models of this router with a newer firmware and bootloader. This means the U-Boot bootloader now has a working web recovery (which is useful for recovering from a brick). The issue is that this "upgrade" brought a few changes on the flash memory partitioning on the router. Therefore, if you have the latest bootloader from ZBT, you might get a bootloop that looks like a brick after installing OpenWrt / ROOTer. You can have a clue if you have firmware or bootloader from after september 2023, but the only way to know is to try and have the stock firmware ready to install back from web recovery (or worse, serial recovery).

This also means that if you have a brick, and you flash older ZBT stock firmware, it will bootloop too.

To quote @Dairyman:

In the old firmware MTD0 is BL1 while in the newer firmware MTD0 is spi0.0 and MTD1 is BL1. This would put the ROOter firmware in the wrong partition.

All the details of why this happens are in the ROOTer thread on Whirlpool forums. You may follow this conversation backwards from my latest post for easier access (jump back through the quotes). You can find the latest working stock firmware to recover from bricks (bootloop) on these recent versions, procedure for serial recovery and logs if you want to get OpenWrt working on those more recent firmwares.

TL;DR: Be careful, or have a go at it and join the fun! Recovering from the bootloop isn't hard at all if you dig above link. Maybe you have the older one that works, then good for you!

EDIT: Here's the working firmware if you're out of time: Z8102AX-nand-mt7981-23.1109_015905-128M.bin

What do you mean by this? Thread carefully or prepare to fix stuff :wink:

Oh well, try flashing the firmware I sent! It might truly work. Here:

And follow the U-Boot web recovery flashing procedure from ZBT (that is also posted on IceG GitHub):

  1. Fixed computer IP: 192.168.1.100, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  2. Turn off power and keep press the Reset button for a few seconds to connect to the power supply. Wait 20 seconds after connecting the power supply.
  3. Enter the browser page and enter: 192.168.1.1
  4. Submit the updated firmware (in this case, the one above).

Good practice: use a working Ethernet cable and Check the MD5 of the firmware that you sent matches the one you downloaded before flashing.

I tried several different firmware files with web recovery. These are not working. I have web recovery version:

ZBT MT7981 Uboot V2.0 FIRMWARE UPDATE
U-Boot 2023.07 (Oct 31 2023 - 22:47:03 -0700)

I can recovery my router only with original ZBT firmware version:

Z8102AX-eMMC-mt7981-24 0117_185433.bin ( https://file.io/xfzaG85WInZ9 )

I tried command in SSH shell:

cat /proc/mtd

Nothing happened.

New link for downloading my firmware version:

I examined more router details. There are eMMC partions:

Received a picture of the board by the manufacturer. Because of its native support of OpenMPTCPRouter it's one of the most interesting devices on the market for bonding 5G, I think.

this is the only openwrt file (excluding the vendor's one) that can boot my z8102ax emmc version. can anyone port this updates in the official repo on openwrt.org?

I am looking for the eMMC version, too. The manufacturer is not interested in helping with this issue.

I have the new version firmware installer from vendor. Is it possible to reverse engineer and extract some usefull data?

i m not expert, maybe here?
