Hi to all, I have a problem with installing lede on raspberry pi 3 model b!
I try to flash that image (Either by extracting img.gz or directly img.gz): https://downloads.lede-project.org/rele … ard.img.gz
with a variety of software as: Win32 Disk Imager, imageusb, Etcher-1.0  WITHOUT GOOD RESULTS
On every booting it go to stuck:

I have already tried to press enter as it says in half way down the screen (also f and enter as it said on top)

I also see that guide https://easypi.herokuapp.com/lede-on-raspberry-pi-3/
but i don't understand where i must send that commands....on raspbian?

How i can solve this? THANKS A LOT

Squalo, it is command from Linux command terminal. You can use e.g. Ubuntu livecd to run this commands.
wget - download image
diskutil umountDisk disk2 - it is to unmount disk (USB-flash), I haven't encountered it before, usually just umount is used
gunzip | dd - to unpack and write image to USB-flash directly
resize2s - to expand filesystem to make partition to expand to all disk

In Windows I can recommend you to try Rufus - and to write image in dd mode. Of course, you should write *.img file, not *.gz

Thanks a lot for answer. I just tried rufus but i got the same result sad
Do you suggest writing the image via linux?
I think it's the same thing

To be precise my raspberry is

Raspberry Pi 3 model B Vi.2

I don't know Vi.2 what mean!

I don't think, it will help to write in Linux - you've tried a lot of programs in Windows.
Sorry, I don't know the reason.
Does it respond to ping 192.168.1.1?
Try previous version: https://downloads.lede-project.org/rele … ard.img.gz

I've already tried that too
sad sad sad sad
I just tried to flash image via raspbian, as guide on top, i resize sda2 partition with gparted but i have the same issue... Continuing to read that flash guide via linux, I noticed that it say: "Unplug ethernet cable, login via usb2ttl"
Usb2ttl, is this the problem?

I tried also openwrt https://canaan.io/downloads/software/av … 8/bcm2710/
WITH THE SAME STUCK sad
I don't know what to do

In this tutorial (minute 9:30) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBvKTssqoPY
He connect keyboard when raspberry go to stuck and press enter
but for me not work! i think this is for all raspberry users! But for me it not work!
My hardware is BCM2709

Squalo, I've tried it myself with my Rpi 3 V1.2. It is almost as in your case, but it should be so! You can login via web-interface to 192.168.1.1, I've already mentioned it. You can plug/unplug ethernet and watch log on the screen to see, that it works!

I'm sorry, i'm an idiot but I thought it was possible to work directly after installing and not only in ssh. (i have also a different gateway)
Thank you very much big_smile
