Xiaomi AX3600 image check fails

[prior-philip]

Hi Team,
trying to sysupgrade XIAOMI AX3600 to most recent snapshot . This fails as it complains about Image version:
Back in Jan-2023, sysupgrade forced me to upgrade to version 2.0. But now it seems to hinder me to do next update as is expects version 1.0 . Is that a misunderstanding or is OpwnWRT development jumping back and forth?

Image check failed:

Fri Feb 24 14:05:05 CET 2023 upgrade: The device is supported, but this image is incompatible for sysupgrade based on the image version (2.0->1.0). Image check failed.

Can you check which version you currently have?

uci get system.@system[-1].compat_version

Because of the forced upgrade, your compat_version might not have been upgraded.

@andyboeh

uci get system.@system[-1].compat_version

It says 2.0

What does your /proc/mtd look like?

If it looks like mine, you should be good to sysupgrade -c -F .... and remove the compat_verison from /etc/config/system.

Here is mine, I just installed the latest snapshot yesterday.

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "0:sbl1"

mtd11: 023c0000 00020000 "ubi_kernel"
mtd12: 0d240000 00020000 "rootfs"

All that being said just backup your /etc folder and in case it breaks be ready to tftp restore, factory (xiaomi) flash and flash openwrt as per the guide. Easy peasy

Yes, looked the same so I just forced sysupgrade.
It went well and the system got upgraded.
Thanks guys - but this behavior appears to me as a defect.

Yes and no.

AX3600 very recently got added to master. There was big of back and forth near the end as the partition layout was changing to open up all of the storage for use. Initially from what I recall only 1/2 was available because that's how Xiaomi had it setup from the start to keep their firmware somewhat in sync between models.

I doubt you will run into this issue when sysupgrading going forward.

Enjoy your AX3600s... I just recently got 2... Love them!
