Fixed it by switching from
- "Target Profile : Linksys WHW03 V2"
to - "Target Profile : Multiples devices " and selecting only "Enable all profiles by default" and "Linksys WHW03 V2" in "Target Devices"
But shouldn't both lead to the same images ?
news
-
i've created a device page for V1 and posted instructions to repartition the device to leverage its large 4 GB emmc. return to stock is possible if you take backups as instructed. see: https://openwrt.org/toh/linksys/whw03_v1#repartitioning
-
the BDF files for V1 are still not merged; everything is so slooow...
-
V1 backport to 23.05 is still not merged.
-
backport of the V2 channel fix was accepted into 23.05.
performance
these devices have only one ethernet adapter behind a switch. so aggregate traffic on BOTH ports cannot exceed 1 Gbps, if the traffic is going to the CPU.
consider enabling network/firewall/software flow offloading for increased throughput. network/interfaces/global/packet steering can also help.

the BDF files for V1 were finally merged, so users of V1 should update their setups ASAP. the BDFs ensure the hardware meets FCC regulations, and probably make the devices work better.
- https://github.com/openwrt/firmware_qca-wireless/pull/42
- https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/15844
on the other hand, it looks like V1 will not be backported to 23.05.
so users of V1 should install SNAPSHOT plus luci-app-attendedsysupgrade/auc and do a sysupgrade whenever they need to install new packages.

I just tried creating a new Snapshot for the whw03v1 using the Attended Sysupgrade and it returns an error that auc cannot be installed. As I am relatively new to OpenWRT, it's probably something I have done wrong.
Collected errors:
* opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package auc.
make[2]: *** [Makefile:220: package_install] Error 255
make[1]: *** [Makefile:161: _call_manifest] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:322: manifest] Error 2
I am presently running:
OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r26747-f864b83b1d / LuCI Master 24.158.03388~a6f8361
Also, I have noticed if I boot to the opposite partition, all my settings disappear. Is there anyway to sync the settings between the two partitions?
BTW, great job to all involved in this port for whw03v1. I have had these sitting on the shelf for over a year now and have finally put them to good use using a gretap tunnel to transport my three vlans wirelessly. Beautiful!!!
In main (snapshots), auc has been removed in favour of owut.
That worked! I could not just remove the package from Attended SysUpgrade as it still tried to install build with auc. I had to manually use opkg to remove it first, then add owut then it worked. Thank you!
EDIT: the new BDF files for V1 definitely make a huge difference in the backhaul speed. Went from 320Mb/s to 585Mb/s.
that's great to know! we were having difficulties making sure which were the right files. thanks for sharing!
btw, i just added detailed instructions and pics on how to open V1.

Great write up. I had wondered how difficult it was going to be to do this. Fortunately I did not need to serial flash for my initial factory to openwrt venture. But indeed this is excellent info to have. Thanks!

Hi,
I own a Linksys Velop WHW03 V1 Mesh system that comes as a package of 3-nodes. Bought it in the Christmas of 2019 in EU. I have tried previously to install OpenWRT on one of the nodes, but to no avail. Here's the issue
- the firmware will flash without issue (I have tried both manual update from CA and the ...router-ip/fwupdate.html)
- the node will reboot with a solid blue light and it stays that way forever. I cannot connect to the node from either of the 2 ethernet ports
- I have to cycle the node to force recovery to Linksys firmware.
I decided to open up the node and see if I could get a serial port, but contrary to what is suggested this V1 board does not have pins populated. I had to solder it myself, but the pinouts are the same as listed in the openwrt instructions. Please find the log files here: bootlogs, printenv, mmcinfo, mmcpart
A look at when openwrt boots from the eMMC, shows that it is stuck at Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p15...
Similarly, when I try to fetch the image file from TFTP and boot the image directly from memory using bootm, the kernel panics. I'm not sure if I'm doing the TFTP boot correctly, do we need to pass some bootargs? I have attached the logs in the GitHub repo as well
As far as I can tell, from the mmcinfo the eMMC on this device is different (Manufacturer ID: 15, Name: 4FTE4). Maybe it is a similar situation as some V2's having a different flash memory?
Can someone help troubleshoot the issue? I can help with testing and getting debug information. I want to get OpenWRT working on my system before OpenWRT 24.10 becomes stable.
I have seen this before, where late builds do not flash onto these older devices. I have attached the original build I flashed to these last July '24. I did this using the hidden factory fwupdate.html menu and they all flashed fine.
Once this is flashed and working you can go to the firmware builder and build a recent release.
If you would happen to use Attended SysUpgrade instead, you will need to remove opkg from the package list and add apk. It will fail otherwise.
Hi @Lexridge,
Thanks for the quick response!
I still have the same problem with your image - the node boots upto the Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p17... and then stuck there forever. (I used the same hidden ...router-ip/fwupdate.html to do the flash)
I'm able to load the kernel provided by the firmware builder site to memory and then use bootm to boot to a openwrt console. But the eMMC isn't mounted, so I'm not sure what to do.
I'm I wrong to suspect that the eMMC on my node is from a different vendor? if possible can you check the eMMC present in your models?
I'd be happy to check the eMMC in my versions, but you must tell me how to do that. I am not that experienced in OpenWRT. I only use it on these particular routers. I use dd-wrt on everything else, but dd-wrt does not support these.
I may need to connect to serial to see this information, but here is my freshly booted dmesg. Maybe that will tell you?

Hey @Lexridge,
The dmesg output was more than enough!! I see that your nodes have the same model of eMMC as mine.
But for some reason isn't read into

That is odd. Might need the dev to pop in and look at this. Maybe compare your uboot variables with these?

They should be the same regardless of whether you are booted to openwrt or oem.
Hey @Lexridge,
That was the first thing I checked and there isn't any change to my uboot env. Either way I just diff your printenv output with mine and they are still the same.
Even when I boot the openwrt kernel .itb image from TFTP the mmc0 isn't mounted. I'm not sure at this point what the issue might be.
I have no idea why they would be different. I'm rather short on time for the next several days but I am only using 2 of these units presently. I will flash the unused unit back to stock and try to recreate your environment and see if this problem exists for me. Have you tried flashing or booting only the kernel first then manually upgrading from there? I have not tried this but seems to be common goto when all else fails.
@Lexridge I was successful at booting to the Kernel image by loading it to memory from tftpboot. But since the mmc0 isn't populated on /dev I'm trying to understand what my options are.
I had the OEM 1.1.19.215389 (Dated: 4/25/2024) on the node, before trying the snapshot builds from OpenWRT. But because the serial pins on my models are not populated I don't want to have to open each one to unbrick, if the flash fails.
Even I'm testing the OpenWRT on one of the nodes that has been lying dormant, as most of the time just two of these cover the entire home. But the plan is to flash all these 3 nodes eventually, once I get it working on the test setup.
Thanks for the quick response, and yeah if you can recreate the issue maybe it's not a one off case and might garner further investigation. Meanwhile, I will try to see if I can flash just the kernel, to see if it works. But I think I have to manually do it from uboot? not sure so I will look at @flipy's instructions.
P.S - I'm unable to reply to any post after this, apparently new users are restricted to 3 posts on the same topic 
. @Lexridge I'm sorry for the delayed response for your next posts. edited on January 26, 2025 11:07AM IST
Unfortunately I only added the serial pins to one unit and I have no idea which one it was now. It's gonna be a crap shoot finding it lol. While adding the serial pins was very easy, disassembling these units was challenging. I will have to re-read the instructions again. lol
There may be some useful information in this thread as well.
I will try to find the unit with serial pins installed early to mid next week and do some testing.

Well, I was wrong. I had some time tonight so I tore into one. All the pins are there on all units. I did not apparently add these and I would assume they are already present in your routers as well. I know this because the unit I disassembled did not have the holes punched in the bottom label where the screws reside. Sorry for that mistake but I have been into a LOT of routers since last July.
I flashed back to stock via uboot on both partitions. Once booted I was able to flash the latest OpenWRT factory to OpenWRT from the Firmware Selector without any issues. I originally flashed the image I sent you earlier but it did not have Luci included, and with opkg being deprecated I was not able to get it installed. So I flashed back again to stock via uboot and flashed the latest 24.10.0 rc6 without issue (which includes Luci). I did all this through the CA Connections page and not the hidden menu. If you need the logs, I will provide.
EDIT:
Here is the complete log. First I am flashing both partitions back to stock. Then from within CA, I flash a recent RC6 OpenWRT-Factory image, once rebooted, I flash a sysupgrade that matches my other WHW03v1s. No idea why yours is not working, but this was smooth and no issues whatsoever.
