Hi
I'm trying to flash OpenWRT on my Huawei EchoLife HG622u (https://openwrt.org/toh/huawei/hg622u), but every time I flash the provided image, I get
Boot from main system!
Linux file system CRC error. 222 Corrupted image?
MAIND first Double Image is error boot failed !
System can not boot,go to CFE
When flashing stock firmware, everything boots up just fine. I tried to download the modded bootloader, but sadly I can't seem to get it since the link is dead and it isn't available on Wayback Machine either. Is there any way to elaborate further to fiagnose my issue?
I'm glad for any answer, thank you for your time spent on me and my troubles.
Okay, I found a solution here: Hg622u wont boot - #8 by Bob7778
There is still one catch and that is that after booting, the system looks to be halted by running out of memory. I wanted to flash the modded bootloader, but sadly it doesn't allow me to do so saying the file doesn't contain a proper tag.
