Please help recover from initramfs mode

alphamatic · January 11, 2025, 4:45pm

Hello,

So, I was buying used wifi router from 2 different seller on marketplace.
The model is JCG Q20. Both the same hardware, but I found they are using different firmware.
The first one is using OpenWRT. This one is easy to upgrade to the latest OpenWRT version.
The other one is using SWRT-Dev firmware. It's another fork of ASUS firmware. After doing some research, I've managed to convert it to OpenWRT.
But, I'm stuck on the initranfs mode. Everytime I upload the sysupgrade file, it always failed and entering the boot recovery mode.

Here are mtd partition on the first router

root@AP4:~# cat /proc/mtd

This one is the second router that has the issue:

How to recover from this initramfs mode?

psherman · January 11, 2025, 4:47pm

typically once you are in the initramfs version, simply use the sysupgrade image with the standard openwrt firmware upgrade routine (sysupgrade in the cli).

alphamatic · January 11, 2025, 4:52pm

Yes, ussually it's just straight forward with the sysupgrade file like I ussually did. But I always use the luci to upload the file.
Probably it's different on cli, I'll try.

alphamatic · January 12, 2025, 4:32am

I've try to upload sysupgrade file with cli, but found not permitted issue.

Comparing the mount point between the first one and the second one. Seems there aren't squashfs and overlay mount point.

Here the first Q20

root@AP4:~# mount
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro,relatime,errors=continue)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
/dev/ubi0_1 on /overlay type ubifs (rw,noatime,assert=read-only,ubi=0,vol=1)
overlayfs:/overlay on / type overlay (rw,noatime,lowerdir=/,upperdir=/overlay/upper,workdir=/overlay/work)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,noatime,size=512k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,noatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,noatime)
bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,mode=700)
root@AP4:~#

Here are the second Q20 that on initramfs

root@OpenWrt:/tmp# mount
tmpfs on / type tmpfs (rw,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime)
cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,noatime,size=512k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,noatime,mode=600,ptmxmode=000)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,noatime)
bpffs on /sys/fs/bpf type bpf (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,mode=700)
root@OpenWrt:/tmp#

Is there something wrong on mtd partition and mount point?
How to restore the squashfs and overlay mount ?

frollic · January 12, 2025, 5:45am

Install the same fw as the working unit had ? Or stock fw.

alphamatic · January 12, 2025, 7:29am

Not possible to install as the working unit fw. Because previously it work with SWRT-Dev fw, another fork of ASUS firmware, like Merlin fw...

This happen after I convert it to openwrt. Seems previously using jffs2 partition.

The goal now it to recover to normal running Openwrt fw

frollic · January 12, 2025, 7:42am

Yes, that's what this thread is about, but we don't know how to install Openwrt running a different 3rd party fw.
Openwrt assumes stock fw is running.

alphamatic · January 12, 2025, 8:00am

Thanks...

I was able to convert partially.
But, the step to run fully openwrt is much closer, that's why I need some support here...

But, thank you anyway...

alphamatic · January 12, 2025, 11:47pm

Is there dd command I can use to restore partition with sysupgrade file?

alphamatic · January 14, 2025, 4:31pm

Hello,

I have 2 identical wifi router (JCG Q2). 1st one is running normal OpenWRT fw. The second one is running initramfs mode of OpenWRT.
The second one initially running SWRT-Dev fw. and trying to install OpenWRT on the second one.

Here are the bootlog on the normal OpenWRT:

My question:

Based on above bootlog, is it possible to fix mtd partition?
If I copy MTD partition with dd comand from first one and put on the second one ( that already on OpenWRT initramfs mode ), is that possible ? How is the step to do so? Which partition should go first, which partition should not over write copy?
If I clone the mtd partition, will it has the same mac address?

Any suggestion are welcome
thanks
