Belkin RT3200/Linksys E8450 WiFi AX discussion

@daniel and community
--as followup -

using your tools, I've successfully gone back to original from old backups of mtd0, mtd1, mtd2, mtd3.

i've also successfully gone to the v1.1.1 installer and new ubi fs layout, with current (r25567) snapshot build running well.

the only glitch is seeming impossibility of going back to stck again, since ubifs cannot be detached from the production or recovery image. i await your next update to the installer,
thank you agian for these tools and your expertise

I will would really appreciate if someone can help me. My router seems that is semi bricked. I have described the problem here: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/belkin-rt3200-linksys-e8450-wifi-ax-discussion/94302/4597?u=underworld , however today I wanted to update to the latest snapshot and the router didn't powered on - No LEds.
I plugged it off, waited 5 mins - nothing, after 10 more minutes it powered on. I decided to test and normal reboot. Again the same after 10 mins off the electical network it powered on. I was able to make a kernel print:

I hope someone can help me fixing the reboot problem.
Thanks
Kind regards

I think the same is happening to my router. Updated today with my own built (from main) and to my surprise it failed to restart as usual (no LEDs). After switching on off several times without success I tried recovery mode and it started. Then I uploaded again the new built and again no success with restarting. I tried again on and off several times until at last it booted fine... even with the previous configuration in place. I don't know what changed since 3 days ago when I had installed this version without any issue.

Underworld · March 17, 2024, 8:36pm

I am stuck with this version : OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r25464-79ee4cb039. I have another RT3200 running the same version and it restarts normally ..... so far.
By the way I noticed that it is not a matter of waiting 10 mins, but in fact trying to plug it and out several times until it boots.

usrlocalben · March 18, 2024, 4:05am

My 6.1/UBI RT3200 is a brick again of this same kind after a reboot for an AUC snapshot update. (not the first, I did this successfully after unbricking w/6.1+UBI)
fwiw I had the performance policy applied via rc.local (although I suspect it is unrelated to the MTD situation)

I was prepared for the failure, having read @aDEO 's fail-report.

I think I'd stay with 23.05.X for a while now, also my ISP upgraded me to 500mbps and I no longer have bufferbloat with WED / HW acceleration enabled

jkdf2 · March 18, 2024, 9:40pm

I am having the same symptoms as you and @Gix

I also see it written about here: https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/issues/166#issuecomment-1986844103

wrt54 · March 18, 2024, 9:53pm

Good evening,

I use a Belkin RT3200 since quite a while, Unfortunately, I bricked the device. i was always on SNAPSHOT and updated from time to time via the CLI-utility auc. Since mid February that process stopped working with different error messages so i investigated that and run across the information about the changed UBI-layout https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/releases/tag/v1.1.1 and followed the instructions (or at least i thought so), and was able to upgrade again, from kernel 5.15.148 to kernel 6.1.81. I had to reconfigure the wifi, but the rest of the old config was working like before. Anyway, two upgrades later the device would not but start again, no leds.

i connected to the serial port, then did

mtk_uartboot.exe -p bl2-for-mtk_uartboot.bin -s COM3 -a -f openwrt-23.05.2-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip

and got into the U-Boot menu:

( ( ( OpenWrt ) ) ) U-Boot 2023.07.02-OpenWrt-r23630-842932a63d (Nov 14 2023 - 13:38:11 +0000)

here i flashed files via TFTP

Load recovery system via TFTP then write to flash.
Load BL31+U-Boot FIP via TFTP then write to flash.
Load BL2 preloader via TFTP then write to flash.

but when i reboot, the system hangs always here:

Can there be something done about it?

I backed up the mtd[0-3] files before i did the upgrade from kernel 5.15 to 6.1 along with the change of the UBI-scheme.

@daniel Here's another debug output.

How I got there. Started with stock fw 1.2.00.360516, and flashed v1.1.1 signed installer. From the signed installer, flashed a openwrt ubi snapshot from last week (can't remember which date). Configured openwrt like normal, and also set the scheduler to "performance" in rc.local. After a couple of days of everything going fine, I ran attended sysupgrade from luci, and ended up with a dead rt3200 (no leds).

Has anyone had success with running the mtk_uartboot utility on a Mac?

I've tried a variety of ways and it always gets stuck right after these messages:

NOTICE:  Starting UART download handshake ...
==================================
BL2 UART DL version: 0x10

After that it just sits with the TX led on the serial device barely flickering.
I've had no trouble running this on Windows, but I have been unable to get putty started quickly enough to see the U-Boot menu, so I thought I'd try a different laptop.

I guess it's time to use Linux unless someone has a solution for MacOS.

This won't work in case you already moved to the new FIP-in-UBI layout which was introduced together with the switch to Linux 6.1. You have to use openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-linksys_e8450-ubi-bl31-uboot.fip from snapshot instead, and then rewrite BL2 and BL31+U-Boot via the bootmenu.

Let's do some more empirical science on this anyway flooded thread:

I'm using the stock power supply and experienced OKD
I'm using the stock power supply and never experienced OKD
I'm using a 3rd-party power supply and experienced OKD

@daniel is it considered OKD for those of us who keep having to try 2-3 times to boot but it always, eventually, boots?

Wondering if the culprit for many of our bricks is the factory-supplied power adapter...

@daniel said he ran his routers through the ringer trying to cause bricking and couldn't, but also said he uses a special power adapter that wasn't supplied by Linksys or Belkin.

Is it considered OKD if it only happened once that after a power cut, router's LEDs stayed off and after several unplug-plug cycles it booted normally, never to happen again? Not even sure if this was OKD. I'm using 3rd party power adapters on two routers imported from USA to Europe. I don't wish to vote incorrectly...

I have a second RT3200 which is ok. I tried with its adapter also factory, but again I got OKD - well semi-OKD as eventually after several power on - It starts.

FanOfOpenWRT · March 19, 2024, 7:22am

I did try to turn my RT3200 off & on at least twice after it bricked, and then once more after leaving it turned off for hours. I did not try unplugging it and plugging it back in, unfortunately.

(I was kind of freaking out the night my RT3200 bricked because my whole house was without a router, so I panicked and just bought a GL-MT3000 as replacement — it's been great. I still plan to repair the bricked RT3200 when I have the chance.)

FanOfOpenWRT · March 19, 2024, 7:26am

This is exactly how mine bricked. I had successfully updated to the 6.1 kernel and new UBI layout, and it was running fine for a few days, then I ran my first attended sysupgrade and it never came back on.

Did you force the upgrade? My first attended sysupgrade threw an error and I fixed the message by adding the lines recommended above. I've done 4 upgrades since without any issues.

I feel you though, I had another RT3200 that failed two months ago when rebooting, without any prior issues. At the time I had no idea about any of this, so I panicked and started the RMA process. After long hours with Belkin, I ended up with a non RT3200 replacement (RT3200 and E8450 discontinued) that isn't even supported by OpenWRT.
