Broken fw image cant go back to the working fw

Installing and Using OpenWrt

I dont know which question except if changes survive a reboot, but I dont know how to make changes to the config and check if they survive and I already said that.

I have another router to go online, just without wifi, my pc is connected via ethernet cable.

from the ssh connection, type:
uci set luci.diag.dns=google.com
uci commit
reboot

after it comes back:
uci get luci.diag.dns

if it shows google, it keeps changes
I bet it'll show the default openwrt value

root@OpenWrt:~# uci set luci.diag.dns=google.com
uci: Entry not found

same with uci get luci.diag.dns

@aboaboit, we already know there's 0 space, as the opkg command showed that. It seems that the OP is apprehensive of the command line anyways.

  • So, does this mean you plan to hook it up and re flash your router?
  • Do you need any assistance with that?
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/targets/ramips/mt7621/openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mtc_wr1201-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
sysupgrade openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mtc_wr1201-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

The command is actually: uci show luci.diag.dns Both work...so definitely seems like a file space issue.

The other router without wifi has been trashed by some kids from a family friend. I dont want to hook it up.
I want my to hook up my Strong 1200 Router again.

I'll try the cd /tmp thing now.

Edit: cd /tmp went trough and the router restarted, uci set luci.diag.dns=google.com still dosnt work, what now?

Yup, now the space is most definitely dead, like the MP parrot :slight_smile:

Sorry, I have never encountered such a situation directly, I'll let other people chime in if they know more than I do about this.
