Friends, how can I actively contribute and participate in the project, I think this team has quite good hardware potential, the problem is that I am not a developer, I understand networks and so on, but I am new to openwrt, personally I master brands. like mikrotik fortinet among others, I understand network concepts, but I am not a developer, I have two MR7350 units to do tests if required, I have used unofficial firmware, this is the repository, I don't know if this information will be useful to anyone .
Im wrong.
could you examine fork on what needs to be ported to OpenWRT tree for support?
Feel free to work on https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=tree;f=target/linux/qualcommax;hb=HEAD
afaik mr7350 support isn't far away (apart from someone stepping up for the PR), but the issue raised in http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2024-August/043096.html applies.
I mean, no, I'm not a programmer, much less developer, but I can test the firmwares on my computers, I've tried an unofficial distribution but unfortunately it doesn't work Wireguard, which is what I would be interested in working, for work reasons, I would like to build a tunnel from home to my work
Maybe you know, when could the official support for this team come out?
One needs a device to test it, it is not like untested devices are signed off. Either you try and test now, or wait for long time for next owner of same devie to come forward.
where do I have the firmware to test it
You have to build one
How's that going to work?
Does you computer use the same arch as your router ?
When someone makes the changes required for support.
Maybe ask at that backspacewrt, maybe they will be happe to get support burden off theit backs and you can help eachother out.
Has anyone tried installing openwrt snapshot 24.10 from the backspace firmware?
I tried to install snapshot 24.10 and boot failed.
The official way is to completely return to stock firmware and install OpenWRT clean. Say rooter goldenorb or immortalwrt are quite close to OpenWRT to be sysupgrade compatible, with caveats for few exotic setups, but the less known the distro the further it may have branched off main codebasse and as a consequence have no chance for sysupgrade. If you tried cross-sysyupgrade, it may help booting broken looking OpenWRT into failsafe mode, then flashing (same) sysupgrade again, this time resetting configuration.

Do you know how to go back to stock firmware?
Backspace knows.

Si, puedes hacerlo por serial por medio de un servidor TFTP

Translation : they say it is possible to (revert) using TFTP.

Can you give detailed instructions ?
Primero necesitas un convertidor de USB a TLL, para comunicaciĆ³n serial entre la computadora y el router
Luego necesitas descargar TFTP server en Windows para poder montar el servidor al cual vas a descargar la imagen del sistema (hay varios tutoriales en el cual instalan el firmware original de otros routers usando TFTP, el procedimiento es similar en la pĆ”gina oficial del OpenWRT hay una foto de la conexiĆ³n del tll al router
Descargar la imagen del sistema de la pƔgina oficial de Linksys, y renombrarla a esto mr7350.img
Colocar esta direcciĆ³n fija en su ordenador 192.168.1.254
Iniciar el TFTP server
Conecta el router en el puerto WAN, a la computadora
Conecta el TLL al computador
Inicia Putty en comunicaciĆ³n serial a 115200
Enciende el router espera un seguro e interrumpe el inicio, desde Putty tocando cualquier tecla
Ingresa:
run flashimg
run flashimg2
Reset
As described - you need extra hardware - usb-to-ttl adapter.
You also need to learn to post in English.
