I am trying to install openwrt on a Fritzbox 7362 SL following the instructions.
I am unable to enter the box using the scripts_flashing_eva_ramboot.py script and use the IP address 192.168.178.1.
Connection error:
mint @ mint: ~ $ python3 eva_ramboot.py 192.168.178.1 openwrt-lantiq-xrx200-avm_fritz7362sl-initramfs-kernel.bin

If you set a continuous ping running do you get a reply with the first 5 seconds of powering on the device?
If not, you might need to connect a switch inline between the fritzbox and your laptop/PC so that the pc/laptop detects a link and brings up the interface independent of what the fritz box is doing (which is initially powered off)
Continuous ping does not receive a response from the first 5 seconds of turning on the device without a switch and with a connection through the switch.
I receive a response to ping only after a full load Fritz. What exact port is needed for firmware?
The script is trying to make a regular ftp connection. Ports 20 and 21.
Do you always see this same error above on every attempt? it’s possible your router boot loader has a different ip. Try 192.168.1.1. When your router boots up into oem firmware what ip does it have?
If you are familiar with tcpdump set that running and see what packets are floating around during boot.
Thanks to all. The problem is resolved after the recovery firmware fritz.box_7362_sl-07.12-recover. Then it was possible to connect to the Lan2 device and install OpenWrt.
