tldr: firstboot reports "jffs2reset: writing /dev/ubi0_1 failed: Operation not permitted" in failsafe
on MI R3G. What should I try next?
I have a fresh mi r3g router which I've been struggling with. Including: wiring up a serial cable, buying a usb adaptor, finding a driver for Mojave, setting up a tftp server, etc. etc
I now have open wrt booting on the router, but it doesn't appear to bring up any interfaces.
Well in failsafe it claims to have brought up eth0, but I can't ping it.
So in failsafe I tried to do firstboot and that complains, as show below.
Any suggestions?
