Now I'm having the problem described in this thread here:

Upgrade Broke Luci

Welp...upgraded luci and luci-ssl via opkg today to their newest versions. Got this when I tried to log into luci’s web interface. /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:230: /etc/config/luci seems to be corrupt, unable to find section 'main' stack traceback: [C]: in function 'assert' /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:230: in function 'dispatch' /usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:127: in function </usr/lib/lua/luci/dispatcher.lua:126> Don’t know if it’s something I did or if there is an issue with …

However when try to apply the sollution of overryding /etc/config/luci with /rom/etc/config/luci then the error stays.

Try rebooting after applying the patch to see if it fixes anything

Is there any update to this?

I am completly wiping the flash clean and TFTPing the 18.06.8 zImage and squashfs.bin to my device. I am not restoring any configs.

I've flashed 18.06.7 as a workaround currently.
