Dlink dir-3040 A1 v1.01
-Tried upgrading from dlink firmware using firmware selector 24.10.0 and
using from Lucky1's server "openwrt-23.05.3-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-3060-a1-squashfs-factory with 3040 header.bin"
-Wouldn't accept it.
I then tftp the 24.10.0 kernel initramfs firmware to sdram and that got me into openwrt (initramfs mode). I then (under luci) flashed it with the upgrade image and it rebooted back into dlink firmware.
I then (after finding an old windows laptop) flashed the openwrt 24.10.0 recovery firmware via dlink recovery web interface.
This now has me loading openwrt every boot in initramfs mode (note: from the flash; not tftp to sdram).
When I upgrade flash under luci I see the messages from the UART before it reboots and loads openwrt in initramfs mode again.
