One more Kick at a ZBT WG3526

HI all, I've been through the forum (and others) looking for any assistance to try and salvage this router. I originally gave it a stab in this thread Need assistance with recovering a ZBT-WG3526, but thought it was a lost cause and put it on a shelf. Now that I've upped my internet speed the Linksys EA3500 isn't cutting it anymore, and before buying a new faster (and possibly MT7621 based) router, I thought I would give this one another try.

I can get it into recovery mode but when I attempt to upload any of the firmware versions I have found so far (OpenWRT of various versions, as well as the "OEM" versions found on the ltehacks Google drive here), It starts to download, and then I get a connection reset after 20 or 30 seconds.

I was able to get it to boot into 17.04 version of OpenWRT, but I'm not sure what I did exactly to get there.

I think I got it into the current state after attempting to upload the latest OpenWRT (19.07?) via the Luci interface.

I've also tried connecting to it with a USB-serial interface to the serial pins, but am not getting any output at all from it either.

As I mentioned above, I can get it into recovery mode, but all attempts at uploading a new image time out. A couple of other clues, if I reboot the router without going into recovery mode, the pwr led is on solid, and the sys led is flashing green (2x/sec?). It responds to a ping at 192.168.1.1, but if I do a zenmap scan of the device, it shows all ports closed (port 80 shows open when in recovery mode).

I've also tried a couple of terminal emulator programs, with a serial-USB device to my Linux box (tio and screen) and have tried various Baud rates, but I'm not getting any response back at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you wire correctly (TTL TX to router's RX and TTL RX to router's TX; GND to GND)? Only connect GND, RX and TX. Do not connect VCC. Did you try other console tools like putty or minicom? Did you solder the pinout or just put in cables into the pinout (contact issue)? The config is given on device page 115200, 8N1 (just standard). What TTL adapter you've got (supported voltages, chipset)?

Did you ever get the chinise interface? like described here:

https://openwrt.org/toh/zbt/wg2626#installation

I tried TX and RX both ways (didn't think it would cause an issue), and GND, according to the pinout for the USB-serial converter, but just checking the wires with a DVM, it looks like GND and VCC were incorrect and it's very likely that I fried the board. I tried it again on just now with the wires reversed, and didnt get anything from the port, I also tried swapping the TX and RX, given that the other wires were wrong.. I might try one more time with an arduino (I have a few of those around) to get the usb-serial converter out of the picture.
The usb-serial converter is PL-2303 based.. and 5V on VCC..
I do get the recovery screen, but any uploads I tried fail, or at least shortly after starting I get "lost contact" on the web page. (I never get the uploading status bar that someone had in a youtube video.

Ok, on a final Hail Mary, I decided to try using an arduino as a usb-serial converter and I'm making progress. I am getting something back from the router using 115200 8N1, but I'm getting unprintable characters..
"vHiiKKk[Vk/-~uY?wMn|r|o|<|W_]w^^Hd{m_wFail |o exu|Hh?`` o{{mY?o'kJy,{>mmwvWEntev to|yvatevskuwkVEn|er |o activte`^~.>XZh]*^?B Bpclc]?{IWw"^HmWw!_i{xkYkhi|ed v|m}Yo^k|ytxs"
I also tried even and odd parity.. I'll keep playing with it..

There is some readable text in the garbage, this usually means that you swapped RX and GND on the adapter (or that you connected GND to RX of the device).

This might be the issue. I cannot see any information what voltage your device is based 3.3V or 5V. Does your adapter have a switch/jumper to swap voltage? For Arduino you can adjust voltage.

Here I cannot help you. If I get sth. like that I'm just swaping arround parameters like you. :smiley: If you swap RX/TX you get either nothing or text. If you have wrong baudrate it looks different then that what you have here also.

I checked the pins on the router board, and GND on the arduino is definately going to the right pin. And both RX and TX are not shorted to GND..

The Arduino Due is a 3.3V board.

I just connected the 3.3v pin also.. and I'm seeing readable text.. :stuck_out_tongue:

I guess your problem is solved now. So mark this thread as solved pls.

Not quite.. I see this:
*** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment

and although I see the menu, it times out too quickly and appears to select the default option (3)

Please choose the operation:

1: Load system code to SDRAM via TFTP.
2: Load system code then write to Flash via TFTP.
3: Boot system code via Flash (default).
4: Entr boot command line interface.
7: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via Serial.
9: Load Boot Loader code then write to Flash via TFTP.

0
3: System Boot system code via Flash.

at the end when I tried to enter anything I get the following:

Failed to execut
Please press Enter to activate this console.
Failed to executPlease press Enter to activate this console.

I'm using "moserial" on Ubuntu.

Success! With the right timing I was able to hit a 2 to get it into tftp upload mode. I input the IP address of the tftp server and filename and it uploaded successfully and now I'm up on 19.07.4.

Thanks

The "using default environment" message is completely normal when the u-boot is not configured to save environment. That requires dedicating a block of flash and is another thing to (mis)configure, so manufacturers often don't do it.

Yeah, That makes sense for sure. I was just surprised that there was such a short timeout on the option selection.
