Hey there, @pngo
I am REALLY sorry to bother you, but this thread is the only one I can find that is able to help me out.
I have the exact same issue, except that it is a V1 model, not a V2, so I can use the instructions, but not the firmware itself.
I can't seem to find a fix for my device in order to keep the settings.
And I have looked a lot.
So...
I would like to ask you...
Is there any possible way you could write the same custom firmware, but for a V1?
(With LuCi and being able to keep the settings)
I would be very grateful if you could help me out, as I am getting a little desperate and I cannot, for the life of me figure out how to build it myself using Image builder.
I am deeply sorry to have bothered you and I appreciate your time and attention.
Cheers,
Bruno.
Reinstall firmware sysupgrade without keep settings. I think it can solve the problem. Or try with.
You can build yourself. Try with.
- Install dependencies in the most common distros.

- Obtain the Image Builder.
- Build your own image. Example image.
make image PROFILE=tl-wa850re-v1 \
PACKAGES=“uhttpd uhttpd-mod-ubus libiwinfo-lua luci-base luci-app-firewall luci-mod-admin-full luci-theme-bootstrap \

Hey there.
Thank you very much for your reply.
It did / does sound like a good plan, but I tried many time to build an image and keep getting different errors, depending on what I do.
And I can only seem to be able to build a stock image using imagebuilder.
I can't really remove any packages or add LuCi.
Also, this project has been moved from:
Here (old)
to
Here (new)
My goal is to follow your build arguments, but it errors out every single time and I have installed all dependencies.
Is there any way you can help me further?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Bruno.
