Lost settings after reboot

I recently upgraded to 21.02.0 on my SamKnows Whitebox (https://openwrt.org/toh/samknows/sk-wb8) and it lost my settings on the upgrade as expected as I had to do a force sysupgrade to make it work. I then connected to it and configured it with the settings I had previously. Everything seemed happy. I then rebooted the system and lost all the settings. I had to manually set my IP address again and reconfigure to match my network. This time I didn't do the full configuration to save time and I rebooted again an it once again lost its settings. Once again I configured the networking, but left it at that for now. What am I doing wrong?

From what I've read it needs at least 4MB of flash and 32 MB of RAM and I believe I have 16/128 so I should have enough there.

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

mgj,

'How' did you update your SamKnows Whitebox? Straight from OEM firmware, or from other OpenWrt version? But welcome on the OpenWrt forum!
If updated from older OpenWrt version, which version was it? As sysupgrade from 18.06 to 21.02 is not supported. (https://openwrt.org/releases/21.02/notes-21.02.0#upgrading_to_21020)
Is your Flash Layout the same as older version? https://openwrt.org/toh/samknows/sk-wb8#flash_layout
Better so save your config before rebooting, saves a lot of time.

Lot's of questions, a full bootlog would give more information than just your latest OpenWrt version.

DG.

Thanks for the prompt reply and sorry, I should have given more details. Wasn't thinking, still learning what is needed for support and what isn't. It was running 19.07 previously (I believe) without issue for a long time. I didn't really need to upgrade today, just did because I wanted to make certain it has the latest security updates.

As for the flash layout, I honestly don't know. I don't remember doing anything specific when I installed it at 19.0x (can't remember exact version). I'll do some reading on this to find out more information.

Here is an edited verion of what I think is the bootlog. It was too long to fit in this message so removed interface blocking state and DHCP related information. I don't think I removed anything related to the flash/ram. I apologize if I did something like that.

Which image exactly have you flashed?

openwrt-21.02.0-ramips-mt7621-samknows_whitebox-v8-initramfs-kernel.bin

mgj,

Within the wiki it says:
http://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0/targets/ramips/mt7621/openwrt-21.02.0-ramips-mt7621-samknows_whitebox-v8-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

As the name suggests, this image resides in RAM.
Use the sysupgrade as linked above.

Out of interest: Why did you chose the initramfs image?

I tried the other ones and it kept failing. I'll try again with this one. I guess I should have looked at the image name better. I see that now. Thanks for the help @DGdodo and @tmomas .

Tried this image and now it appears that the device has disappeared. I can't seem to find it on the network. It was using 192.168.2.2 originally before my using the wrong image. The wrong image reverted it to 192.168.1.1 earlier. I've tried both of those addresses and no luck this time.

:frowning:

mgj,

Did you checked the SHA checksum before updating? It could be wrongly downloaded?
What LED's are now ON on the router, same as before or keep 1 LED flashing?

1st try a power cycle, if that does not work, try failsafe:
Keep pressing a button -WPS- when booting, now a led stays flashing.
Failsafe should give the router 192.168.1.1 as ip.

DG.

Alright after a little bit of messing around I finally got it working thank you @DGdodo and @tmomas. I have no idea why it wouldn't take the proper image the first time and no idea why it lost its brain the second time. But it is up and running now and I have it reconfigured now.

I love playing with this stuff, just don't do it enough to become good at it.
