So I bought the new SPI flash chip and copied uboot and factory partitions over to it using a FlashcatUSB. It booted and I used tftp to transfer over the normal 4M image which worked as well.
In effort to build an 8M image I compiled my own after editing a couple files:
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/branche … CE2001.dts
Line 19:
compatible = "mx25l3205d";
to
compatible = "mx25l6405d";
Line 21:
linux,modalias = "m25p80", "mx25l3205d";
to
linux,modalias = "m25p80", "mx25l6405d";
Line 61:
reg = <0xb0000 0x350000>;
to
reg = <0xb0000 0x750000>;
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/branche … e/Makefile
Line 667:
$(call BuildFirmware/Default4M/$(1),$(1),$(2),$(3))
to
$(call BuildFirmware/Default8M/$(1),$(1),$(2),$(3))
When it was finished compiling I received a 3.5MB file. Attempting to tftp the binary when the WNCE is in recovery mode gives and error saying the image is too large and tftping the binary through uboot tftp to flash gives a bad magic number error:
Bytes transferred = 3670100 (380054 hex)
NetBootFileXferSize= 00380054

Done!

I did not try to use the sysupgrade image with luci yet but that probably won't work either.
At this point I don't know what else I can do to get it working. Any input is appreciated.
