Yes. I also tryed the recover procedure from AVM (works fine) with the 7.29. After this I tryed it again and its the same error. I have a second new repeater here, I can try with this one.
I have tried again with a second new device. But it also fails.
I put some Screenshots here:
Any Ideas?
Br and thx
Anyone can help? I have tried with two repeaters but its the same error on both devices.
I think that AVM has changed something?
Br
I can also confirm the behavior on my side. The volumes /dev/ubi0 do not exist (anymore). After a sysupgrade, the access point immediately reboots to FTP mode 192.186.178.1.
In the kernel log you can see that attaching mtd10 fails.
I have also opened an issue on Github.

Try to recover an older version e.g. 7.27...and then try to follow my instructions in Reinstall 21.02 on Fritz!Repeater 3000 - #7 by frollic
Might help....
I searched already for a older version, but I don't find the recovery setup. I write to AVM but the said, that a Downgrade isn't possible.
It is possible. I have tried it with 7.20 and 7.27.
You can find it via archive.org
But even with the older versions I don‘t have the /dev/ubi volumes.
The Repeater 3000 is not listed.
Is it possible that the AVM 3000 has a different NAND chip inside? With the Fritzbox 7530 this has probably also happened. AVM FRITZ!Box 7530: New NAND chip?
Could someone help me figure this out on the AVM 3000?
The symptoms look similar, which NAND ID is reported in the boot log?
If I interpret the boot log correctly it is a "Macronix MX30LF1G28AD".
Attached is the complete boot log.

Yes, similar problem, but yours needs a bit less fixing: The NAND is detected correctly with an OOB size of 128 bytes, but the dts has 4 bit ECC hardcoded.
For OpenWrt, you just need a separate dts with the 8 bit ECC strength set up correctly.
U-Boot is also required for your device, right? Then U-Boot needs a similar patch in order to be able to load OpenWrt from flash (there is also a hardcoded default of 4 Bit ECC).
See the Fritz 7530 PR that is linked in my other thread for the discussion on this topic, it's not yet merged.
Thank you for checking. I'll try to put the new info together in the Github issue. Pull Request I won't be able to create myself, it's way beyond my skills 
Any update on this? This looks like it is not yet fixed.
I recently bought a Fritz!Repeater 3000 and ran into the same issue. I guess other people fail, too. At least the device should be removed from the list of supported hardware.
I do not know if it is possible to make the new model compatible but I could try to support if someone gives me instructions.
The instructions are there, it shouldn't be too hard. But somebody owning the device has to do it.
I have a device but unfortunately I feel a little bit lost. So if you could give me a little bit more advice or point me to documentation that describes how to do this I will try.
There is not much documentation apart from this thread and its links. I would start by doing the following:
- Set up a build system as described by the developer guide in the Wiki
- Patch the respective dts in a similar way to the one for the 7530, i.e. remove the ECC restrictions (see here)
- Build and boot an initramfs image - check if the error message is now gone
- If everything works, try to install it
It is well possible that U-Boot needs a patch, too. In this case, you need to do the same as I did for the 7530 here.
I was able to setup the build system and run the build.
In staging_dir I can now find target-arm_cortex-a7+neon-vfpv4_musl_eabi and within a image folder that contains the uboot image. But I do not find the other images. Did I miss anything?
Target Images is left to default which means ramdisk and squashfs are selected.
