Meraki MR33 : Wrong Image Format for bootm command

Post by mark4545 »

All seems to go well, following your video guide to the letter, but it ends with the device in a boot loop.

I've tried the scripted and manual methods with the same results.

Am I doing something wrong?

Code: Select all

Looks like you did not modify the boot rom.
I can help you via zoom remote desktop.
It is better if you have your original backup.

When you say "boot rom" are you referring to the u-boot?

I can do a zoom session, I'm in the UK but don't know your time zone. Next 2 hours are ok if that works for you?

Looks like I've missed you.

I've tried to do it in pieces and u-boot seems to always fail on the first block

Do you have your own backup?
Try to read u-boot back and see what is in there. Might be a bad sector

If your u-boot has bad sector program to back up of the u-boot.

The device worked fine before I started playing with it.

I did take a backup using the script and I've tried to restore it (with script) but the device will not boot

The problem is solved. The initial issue is there is contact issue so the backup was bad. After restore back up from my working openwrt nand everything is working.
