Hi.
With new custom rom build with 24-rc4,
I have got the warning message when I try to upload the image into device.
What does the warning message mean?
Am I did something wrong
or
Just ignore the message and do 'force upgrade' is fine?
(I'm scaring that being the device brick...)
The target device is Linksys WRT32X.
ps: my first advice is don't update with this rom
I'll start by saying I don't have this router...
how did you create the new image?
starting from here...
https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?version=24.10.0-rc4&target=mvebu%2Fcortexa9&id=linksys_wrt32x
if you have only added packages from the link i provided can you kindly provide the list of added packages...
example add luci-ssl and owut (no errors in the build request)

Which file you are trying to upload?
None of the wrt32x files for 24.10.0-rc4 are 60 MB sized...
If you are trying to use sysupgrade to flash it, you need sysupgrade image, not a factory image.

Traditional samba is likely the reason that explodes the image size.
You might try the more modern ksmbd instead.

Just download what I built from the link below.
Custom Factory image
if you request the same build the system does not create it, it offers you the previously created one again to notice the difference add a script here for example:
# image 03/01/25 time 12:xx
Yeah. Right.

By the way, no build error.
If there was unfixed errors, I wouldn't use the sysupgrade version at this moment.
My question is,
'How to flash the whole custom factory image. not sysupgrade. how to translate the warning message to go by?'
You must use sysupgrade file for upgrading OpenWRT. Factory will make it a soft brick needing serial to recover.

Then, your recommendation for the safety is
- Use OpenWRT official factory image at the first time
- Once OpenWRT officail factory image uploaded and flashed,
use sysupgrade whatever custom image user want. - This process nothing different to use single customized big factory image
since everything fixed in the rom even hardreset.
Am I correct?
For most traditional routers, including WRT32x:
"factory" image is just built to satisfy the OEM GUI flash routine. There is usually no functional difference from it to the sysupgrade image.
You use factory image when initially installing from original OEM firmware.
Sysupgrade image is built to match the OpenWrt flash routine metadata requirements (right router, no compatibility warning etc.).
You always use sysupgrade when you flash with normal OpenWrt sysupgrade.
The have been some router-specific deviations when factory image (and OEM recovery routine have been needed) e.g. due to change in kernel partition size, move to DSA switch config etc., but those are rare occurences.

Ok.
With the version 19.x old time, I remember there was no this kind RED color warning
if I remember correctly. But this new version.. which huge bump.
For the time being, I'll use you guys recommendation.
