do you know from the logs which blocks are bad on this device and what partition that sits in ? You should be able to determine this from a serial boot log.ĭoes anyone have any other issues missed from this list ? Presumably if it won't take stock firmware, then its up for replacement.
I suggest we split this out as a different post as its not the same model. I assume the exception is the start of the partition. Kong confirms dd-wrt handles badblocks in "most places".
#Netgear nighthawk x8 r8500 ac5300 dd wrt upgrade
Several people asking about turning off the lights on the router as its a bit of a Christmas tree at the - R6250 unable to upgrade due to bad FLASH. We should be able to prove this easily with the serial logs from the stock firmware / dump of the nvram as detailed in the previous posts as its shown at boot and in clear text in the FLASH. There are claims of new hardware in a Vietnam built router, yet Labo's conversation with Netgear claims no hardware changes. Seen by sounds like some Netgear changes that prevent the dd-wrt upgrade - one for ? Unable to upgrade to dd-wrt from stock firmware (Incompatible Firmware error 2) This sounds similar to the problems that Labo was reporting - can you get the serial boot logs from both (so we have some info to compare) and get Netgear to replace the hardware ? Subsequently, has confirmed that the CFE NVRAM partition is OK Kong said : Malachi gave me dumps which have no error everything is okay, but latest dd-wrt crashes on startup, it only accepts older netgear fw and it has radio issues with oem fw. Serial log shows switch_robo - Crashing routers on boot. Hardware issues - kit replaced by - eBay sourced router with missing CFE NVRAM, hence no board identifier for dd-wrt to detect and use, so fails to boot - Kernel panic on boot. >65K NVRAM used caused kernel panic on next reboot. This is taken from this forum and the a couple of PM'sġ. Phoenix127 news on the replacement, but not there yet if you still have a problem.įor me, it's getting confusing on the different issues on the R8500, so here's what I understand the problems to be and their outcomes.
To prove the "Vietnam" hardware being different claim, its probably worth getting the above info in addition to the previously found strings in the board_data partition.ītw, this info is held in the mtd0 partition.

I found another way to identify the board hardware that will work irrespective of the firmware installedīoot the router with a serial connection present.
I've posted a couple of ideas on how we might be able to move this forwards. Lets move that specific issue to the other forum posting you listed. The router successfully boots into the stock firmware.

I do have open questions in the thread (whether the offset parameter in CFE can permit the installation of the code outside the bad block areas and whether the code can be installed and booted from a USB stick). That thread contains a boot log showing dd-wrt failing to boot. With respect to my R6250, I opened this thread a few months ago to request help: It's clear that you've done a great deal of work looking at the issues on the R8500 so thank you very much. do you know from the logs which blocks are bad on this device and what partition that sits in ? You should be able to determine this from a serial boot log. Phoenix127 - R6250 unable to upgrade due to bad FLASH.
