Hello,
I'd like to install lede on the router in object, right now i'm using dd-wrt so i know i have to revert back to stock firmware but...
https://openwrt.org/toh/buffalo/whr-600d
On the tech page of the device i can find only the sysupgrade firmware, there is no the factory image. Is safe to use the sysupgrade for the first installation or there is another procedure for this device?
Thanks.
Hi,
a long time ago on my (diffrent) Buffalo device I had to Install DD-WRT first, before i could flash OpenWRT to it. Look here: Buffalo WBMR-G300H
I am not a pro, but if you telnet into your DD-WRT and
cat /proc/mtd
shows you something like this:
mtd0: 00040000 00020000 "uboot"
mtd1: 00020000 00020000 "uboot-env"
mtd2: 01f20000 00020000 "linux"
mtd3: 00100000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd4: 01e20000 00020000 "rootfs"
mtd5: 00020000 00020000 "calibration"
And you find an mtd with the name linux , i suppose you could go and give it a try to use the described way from my old device. I don't know about your device flash size. so you should go and check if the mtd "linux" partiton has enough space to take the "sysupgrade firmware" in one part.
Because it is an old HOWTO i would use an old OpenWRT , like 15.05 .

If it works you can upgrade to newer Versions of OpenWRT via Web-Interface at 192.168.1.1 .
If it was my device i would try it, but you proceed on your own risk. Don't blame me if it doesn't work !
Did you manage to get OpenWrt on the WHR-600D?
