Your OpenWrt booted, please explain.
What issue (specifically...as there's a lot here)?

TFTP boot OpenWrt from the bootloader as in the original install and re flash it...be sure to format your flash first in the bootloader before proceeding.

but if more blocks keep appearing...I think your flash chip may be failing.

mk24 · August 11, 2020, 8:46pm

This looks like the bad blocks flags in the flash have been falsely set. If all those blocks are actually bad, the kernel partition is not usable, and either the flash chip or the whole router needs to be replaced.

If it is a case of corrupting the flags, I'm not sure how to recover from that.

kofec · August 11, 2020, 8:54pm

Hi, i'm able to start from bootp and run in ram but what I should change to have working version on nand

kofec · August 11, 2020, 8:57pm

Theo orginal mikrotik software was working fine.

mk24 · August 11, 2020, 9:07pm

It tries to write to NAND and finds a large number of blocks are bad, or at least have been marked bad. There are only about 4 "good" blocks in the kernel partition, which isn't enough space to store the kernel.

kofec · August 11, 2020, 9:11pm

So can I repartion the nand and change the offset? Is IT difficult to do?

lleachii · August 11, 2020, 10:36pm

???

To be clear, you are referring to the MikroTik RB433, correct?

Because all you have to do it reformat from the bootloader menu; and proceed to reinstall OpenWrt like an original install. I'm really not understanding the confusion in the last few posts.

In case you're unaware, the menu I'm referring to appears when you press a key here.

kofec · August 12, 2020, 5:15am

thanks everyone for answer.
@mk24
As you mentioned it could be not enough space in kernel partition. Should I cahnge here:

I tried format partition but it didn't help:

I have small progress but have to change size of ubi image somewhere ?
I change https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/ar71xx/files/drivers/mtd/nand/rb4xx_nand.c
from

	{
		.name	= "kernel",
		.offset	= (256 * 1024),
		.size	= (4 * 1024 * 1024) - (256 * 1024),
	},

to

	{
		.name	= "kernel",
		.offset	= (256 * 1024),
		.size	= (8 * 1024 * 1024) - (256 * 1024),
	},

the result was:

@flyn, @f00b4r0,
I see your commit: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3026
Maybe you are able to help in my case - too many bad blocks on kernel partition. And probably bad block on address 40000 - start of kernel partition. What I should changed ? Thanks in advance

kofec · August 13, 2020, 11:47am

Currently, in order for the board to run, the kernel downloaded with bootp (another router in the network with dnsmasq) and the rest starts from nand.

dhcp-boot=openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-lzma.elf,boothost,192.168.1.3

If someone knows how to change the address where the board should look for the kernel, it would be great. I changed the partition layout to:

    {
        .name    = "kernel",
        .offset    = (256 * 1024) + (5 * 1024 * 1024),
        .size    = (8 * 1024 * 1024) - (256 * 1024),
    },

So partition layout is:

root@RB433:~# cat /proc/mtd 
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 0000b000 00001000 "routerboot"
mtd1: 00001000 00001000 "hard_config"
mtd2: 00002000 00001000 "bios"
mtd3: 00001000 00001000 "soft_config"
mtd4: 00040000 00020000 "booter"
mtd5: 007c0000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd6: 07300000 00020000 "ubi"

and finally we have:

@kofec, where did you get openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-lzma.elf? My build process does not create that file. I do have build_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/linux-ath79_mikrotik/vmlinux.elf. Is this the same file?

I presume openwrt-ar71xx-mikrotik-vmlinux-lzma.elf contains only the kernel and not an initramfs. Is the default procedure used by this kernel image to boot off NAND? How would I know?

Did you have any success adjusting the layout and position of the partitions? I have also thought of that as a potential solution to excess bad blocks, but I never had any success laying things out in a way that worked.

I have one running RB49G and one spare. The spare is not booting the ATH79 images, as noted at https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3026#issuecomment-694605091. I am not sure whether this is due to bad blocks or not, and I am afraid to flash my running RB493G to find out---I do not want to be left without any working routers.

It is beginning to become difficult to find replacement RB493G boards!

teppo · October 19, 2020, 2:02am

I am seeing similar behaviour on the RB2011 series. I have one router, which was never used, and upon trying to upgrade openwrt some months after the initial flash, it suddenly reported bad blocks via serial. It's a bit strange, since it was never used. I doubt it's a flash issue. I don't see any way to adjust the bootloaders partitions from the mikrotik bootloader (no shell), so it may be easier to replace the flash. Although this is a NAND flash, which means it's less supported by eeprom programmers. Bit of a mess, it is.

I believe the initial partitions are handled by routerboot, and not changeable as far as I can tell. Time to get a device with uboot instead.

teppo · October 30, 2020, 5:53am

I should mention that there are actually two routers exhibiting this behavior. One was used in an office environment, the other one was unused, outside of being flashed once, then put in storage.

Both seem to have corrupted their flash, as neither will boot. I've confirmed one via UART, but the other one lacks the uart ic. Nonetheless, boot behavior is identical.

Since these run Routerboot, it looks like they are destined for a landfill.

jannoke · February 23, 2022, 8:19pm

So just bricked my RB2011UiAS-RM also with bad sectors. Can boot over ethernet just fine, but won't work after flashing openwrt from webui. I understand there is nothing what can be done for this matter?
It was brand new router and worked for some time and then I updated fw and this happened before I even got this to production.

EDIT:

Well. You can get it to work. It seems 19 is broken. But you can fix bad sectors error. I red that if you flash routerboard fw it will reformat flash and clean bad blocks.

So I flashed routerboard back in there and then bootet 19 up from ethernet and sysupgaded to 19. It went back to bad sectors.

Then I reinstalled routerboard and booted 19 and sysupgarded 18. Again badblocks.

Then reinstalled routerboard and booted 18 and sysupgraded 18. And now it works. Seems 19 somehow breaks it.

So maybe not landfill afterall

Routerboard itself works, so you can actually revert to factory fw no problem and nothing is broken.

I think I observed...

Did anyone note if they reformatted NAND first?

First, thanks all for help.
@lleachii Format nand didn't help
Hi, I found a reason of bad blocks and thanks to @jannoke I solve the issue.
the reason was that:
I have:

RouterBoard 433
CPU frequency: 300 MHz
  Memory size:  64 MiB
    NAND size: 128 MiB

So I follow the steps from wiki https://openwrt.org/toh/mikrotik/rb433
And flash version ... nand-64m-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
So version 64MB but I have 128MB and this create bas blocks and nothing can clean it only reinstall RouterOS from Mikrotik. (I made the same mistake today)
The problem was that netinstall didn't work for some reason that time for my routerboard. But this time netinstall version 7 (version 6 still didn't work) on Linux OS, starts working and routerOS fix partition/nand. So I just have to install nand-large-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
I not sure if there are more version of RB433 but I have 128MB nand but in mikrotik page it is also written that RB433 has 64MB nand
