Davidc502- wrt1200ac wrt1900acx wrt3200acm wrt32x builds

[Eliminater74]

I run all the snapshots using kernel 5.10.x and my wifi drivers are sorta taken from another source.
I have no wifi cutouts.. prier to using a custom wifi drivers, I was having alot of wifi cutouts.

and yes I build my firmware from source. But in all, with the many custom changes I have managed
to test and pull off, Things are working great.. matter of fact much better then official.

But I can see where people would want to go back with wifi cutouts. I was having alot of them too even on snapshot builds.. but after I tried another source for my wifi drivers, problem seems to have gone away. and this is on a wrt3200acm. Dont know how well it would work on other devices.

Just sharing my input.. As they say, Where there is a will, there is a way..

As David's website and repos are offline, I am just wondering if I can make flashable image from current installation of David's build, such that I can have such an flashable image to go back David's build after a taste of new openwrt builds.

I searched elsewhere and find this

Make flashable image from current installation

In case someone is still looking for this. I became aware of this nifty process recently. First do this to find which partition holds the firmware image. root@openwrt:~# cat /proc/mtd dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00030000 00010000 "u-boot" mtd1: 007a0000 00010000 "firmware" mtd2: 00180000 00010000 "kernel" mtd3: 00620000 00010000 "rootfs" mtd4: 001c0000 00010000 "rootfs_data" mtd5: 00020000 00010000 "tplink" mtd6: 00010000 00010000 "art" So now I know that mtd1 holds firmware, run this co…

On wrt1900acs, I have following partitions. But I do not know which partition to choose to create the image. I guess mtd5 (rootfs1) should be the partition that holds the firmware?

root@router:~# cat /proc/mtd
mtd0: 00200000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00040000 00020000 "u_env"
mtd2: 00040000 00020000 "s_env"
mtd3: 00100000 00020000 "devinfo"
mtd4: 02800000 00020000 "kernel1"
mtd5: 02200000 00020000 "rootfs1"
mtd6: 02800000 00020000 "kernel2"
mtd7: 02200000 00020000 "ubi"
mtd8: 02600000 00020000 "syscfg"
mtd9: 00680000 00020000 "unused_area"

Those experiencing the reported intermittent wifi outage with master or 21.xRC on venom or rango devices might want to try backing out to the previous 88W8964 FW as outlined in post, to see if it helps.

dd is not an appropriate tool, and I don’t see why you would need to use it anyway.

Just flash a sysupgrade.bin from a build you want to try out. Your current David’s build remains on the alternate partition - LuCI/System/Advanced Reboot to get back to it
