Xiaomi WiFi Router 3G

if you remove the file, the service will not start, will not produce log entries and consume no resources.

What to do?
I write something in crontab?

Only delete the files in /etc/crontabs/

Compiled with latest mt76 commits and seems fixed!
Thanks @nbd

Hi guys,
I thought had solved, but still have problems.

Router restarts and stays in a loop for several minutes even estabilize. Sometimes it happens with 1 hour, or 5, or 20... He does the whole process by turning off the light, turning on orange and blinking blue until he stops. If I unplug from the power, it starts fine and loop stops.

My version is 6931 and below are logs:

Hello,
When doing sysupgrade with latest openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
the kernel do not upgrade and stays: kernel 4.14.37-1 while there is kernel 4.14.43 already.
how can I upgrade kernel? because all kmod-* are depending on it ?

Are you sure that the upgrade itself isn't failing? Could you please go to Luci's overview page and let us know what version is behind the "Firmware Version" field?

There might be a (mt7621 specific?) bug that prevents sysupgrade from working properly. Maybe you are running into the same issue. I am also currently stuck as sysupgrade refuses to update the image.

I had the same issue last week, i fixed it with a second try...

I have had 3 failed flashes in a row now. Anything particular that you did to fix the issue?

You could boot in failsave mode and do a forced flash with

mtd write mir3g-squashfs-kernel1.bin kernel
mtd write mir3g-squashfs-rootfs0.bin ubi

You will loos configuration, so do a backup and restore manually...
Do this on your own risk, in worst case you have to flash the initramfs image with serial in uboot and try again...

Would be interesting whats the reason for this issue.
If you have serial soldered it would be great if you grab a serial log while doing a sysupgrade...

good morning friends
How is the operation of LEDE in the stability of 2.4 and 5ghz frequencies?
I'm using PADAVAN now.
how do I go out and install LEDE? Do I have to go back to STOK again?

I've encountered the same failed sysupgrade issue fixed by flashing kernel1 and rootfs0 manually

Windows command line

for /f %%i in ("openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-kernel1.bin") do ( set /a size = 4194304 - %%~zi >nul ) fsutil file createnew dummy.bin %size% >nul copy /y /b openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-kernel1.bin + /b dummy.bin + /b openwrt-ramips-mt7621-mir3g-squashfs-rootfs0.bin firmware.bin >nul del dummy.bin

Padavan command line :

mtd_write write /tmp/firmware.bin Firmware_Stub

Model : Xiaomi Mi Router 3G
Firmware Version : OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r7043-5df2597 / LuCI Master (git-18.143.80802-59d91d8)
Kernel Version : 4.14.37

I tried flashing by Luci and sysupgrade command a few times each and without success. kernel stays the same version.

That's very weird. It's supposed to be this commit: https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/openwrt.git;a=commit;h=5df2597c59879029059d09c426dbf10e06c80306

So you seem to be properly upgraded, as that's a commit from today. However, your kernel is still outdated for some reason, even though there was a bump to 4.14.43 yesterday. I'm not sure what's going wrong in your case, as the build does seem to flash.

Another thing is that I don't need to re-install all before upgrade added packages after I do the sysupgrade and because of that I understood that something is wrong.

Then it is definitely not flashing. I had the exact same issue in which packages remained on the system. With a proper flash, all manually installed packages should be gone.

Is there anyone that is running into the same issue and has access to a serial connection? Would love to see if we can pinpoint the reason why flashes are failing. I am having the same issue with my Dir-860L, so more mt7621 devices seem to be affected.

I'm stucked in a version of 4 or 5 days ago too. :sob:

I'm trying sysupgrade via Luci but the version dont change.

I'm in 6952 snapshot and 4.14.41 kernel

Anyone knows how fix this?
