Mt3000 - trying to install rc - firmware not compatible

[bcookatwrt]

I tried to build by own mediatek/filogic:

I added a few kernel mods (tcp cong's) and did a make -j(nproc)

(spongebob) "3 Hours Later.."

ls -al bin/targets/mediatek/filogic/

was populated..

I grabbed the initramfs-kernel.bin and squashfs-sysupgrade.bin files.. put my device into uboot.. uploaded my builds.. and it didn't work..

I grabbed the ginet uboot 4.6.6-op24 rebooted into uboot.. and of course the flash worked..

I went to the firmware-selector site, picked my mt3000 downloaded the initramfs-kernel.bin.. put the device into uboot.. uploaded the prebuits.. and they uploaded and flashed (or so it seemed).. but when the device rebooted..

I was still on the 4.6.6-op24 build..

Other than 'of course'.. what did I miss or do incorrectly?

Thank you in advance..

openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt3000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

You should install the openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt3000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin file since initramfs images boot OpenWRT from RAM and will be lost after a reboot of the device.

hmm..

(not arguing)

the firmware selector gave me the initramfs-kernel.bin.. and I'm using that in the uboot (192.168.1.1) of the device..

using the squashfs-sysupgrade.bin at the uboot (192.168.1.1) the one I built gets to 5% then stalls..

(thank you in advance.)

Have you tried flashing a regular snapshot, one build by the buildbot?

For example this one: https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots//targets/mediatek/filogic/openwrt-mediatek-filogic-glinet_gl-mt3000-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

Sorry this wasn't clear..

I did not grab the sysupgrade from the firmware-selector site..

I will try that.

Could be something in your build that causes it not to work. That is why I sent you to the firmware selector.
However for your device, you only need to flash the sysupgrade file, not the initramfs.

[bcookatwrt]

thank you

Wrong file indeed..
