[SOLVED] Help needed: Xiaomi AX3200: Snapshot upgrade

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Dear all,

my Xiaomi AX3200 currently runs OpenWrt SNAPSHOT (r28406-d1e9c50d06) - Built and installed on December, 26th.

I was under the assumption that this snapshot was later than OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc4? Meaning: It includes everything from 24.10.0-rc4. Right?

Today, I wanted to do a sysupgrade to a newer snapshot, however the installer tells me:

Mon Dec 30 16:50:09 CET 2024 upgrade: The device is supported, but this image is incompatible for sysupgrade based on the image version (1.0->2.0). Mon Dec 30 16:50:09 CET 2024 upgrade: Flash layout changes require a manual reinstall using factory.bin. Image check failed.

Is that true? Will I have to use this special procedure each time? I already went through this procedure while installing the current snapshot.

Could somebody please enlighten me?

Thank you kindly!

Read device OpenWrt Wiki page.

Well, I did.

Where on that page is the answer to my question? I cannot see it.
Maybe you can explain?

4

Did you follow the instructions?

As I said in the first post: All done following the instructions.
That's why I ask.

The same problem. So far, no solution:

Answering my own question:

Prerequisite was:
Perform the required Architecture Upgrade Process once sucessfully! If you haven't succeeded, yet: DO NOT CONTINUE!

After the sucessfully performed Architecture Upgrade, compat_version still was "1.0". Therefore, I had to manually edit /etc/config/system:

Within /etc/config/system, change the line

option compat_version '1.0'

to

option compat_version '2.0'

Afterwards,
perform a "normal" sysupgrade.

Yes, it works. Thank you!
