Converted T-Mobile Cell Spot

[Alan Harvey]

I am looking for some help with an asus t-mobile RT-AC68U Current firmware at this time 3.0.0.4.376_1703 wont update from Asus however it will download it but wont update also not seeing some of the better feature's in which should be like Traffic Monitor should look like. I will provide a log of the device for every one to see if some one could help me that would be nice

http://pastebin.com/P4YiMd0L will allow anyone to view the log file

I'm assuming that you have already loaded an Asus CFE onto that router (CFE 1.0.2.0 or 1.0.2.1)?

If so, try loading Asus firmware 376.3626 first. Once on 376.3626, try loading the latest firmware to see if it goes.

If the firmware won't load from the GUI, might have to boot into 'recovery' mode, navigate to the miniCFE webserver and try to update the firmware from there.

I will give it a try and see how it goes Thanks for the advice

Update here is what CFE has

New Paste Bin Shows something I know nothing about due I am still learning Linux and have no clue with building on an ARM CPU
http://pastebin.com/P4YiMd0L I am still having issues with it not updating from ASUS and Even running in to it saying via CFE Unable to Update Not sure what next to try to fix the issue

What are you using to try to send the firmware over (Asus restore utility, the current firmware GUI, mini-CFE Webserver)?

As of late, it seems getting to the mini-CFE webserver is about the best (and possibly only) way to get past this little issue.

There are reports that you can flash the smaller Tomato-ARM versions, reboot, reset NVRAM and then use the Tomato GUI to go to 376.3626 and beyond.

Note: I've not tried this so I cannot guarantee it to work but it has been reported to work.

Finally, the thread at SlickDeals.net has quite a bit of information on this router and upgrading. It is quite large and can get a little convoluted at times. The Wiki is a decent place to start but there are later posts toward the end of the thread where people have the same issue as you have figured out how to flash.
