Firmware upgrade on OpenWrt One 24.10.0-rc2

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi everyone!

I would like to perform a firmware upgrade on my OpenWrt One (OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc2). Accoording to this guide, this can be achieved from the command line. However, installing owut (opkg update && opkg install owut) fails with this error message: opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package owut.

Therefore, I assume that the rc2 candidate is not a fully functional 24.10.0 version, and I need to perform the upgrade via LuCI or USB. In both cases, openwrt-mediatek-filogic-openwrt_one-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb would be the file to be used for the upgrade, right?

Thank you for any feedback already at this point!

Yes. Have you read the device wiki? https://openwrt.org/toh/openwrt/one

RC2 is the release shipped from factory.

Not sure the RC2 repo contains owut.

Correct observation.

Get sysupgrade image of 24.10.4 instead from https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.4&target=mediatek%2Ffilogic&id=openwrt_one

Now you can install owut and future upgrades will be easy as you wanted.

Thank you for the confirmation. Yes, i read that page. I got confused since in other sources it was referred to *.tar.gz or *.bin files. I just wanted to be shure and thus i dared to pose this question :wink:

On one platform it is tarball, on other platform raw flash image, on yet another something in the middle.
