Hi all been having problems with my rt-Ax88u firmware the sha key not matching what’s on the download site

Asus or Merlin firmware?

 

[FROSTY]

Merlin just downloaded and checked it and they don’t match

You are unzipping the file first and using sha-256?

 

[FROSTY]

Wow how green am I..
Found SHA256 Online choosing file hash then dragging file into it and still ???? What should I do to get the right output

 

[FROSTY]

Just got ihash from apple store which does sha256 and check for match with the supplied file and still don’t match

I use WinMD5 to verify the Asuswrt.w file and the Asuswrt-Merlin.zip file. Why they do it differently is a mystery to me.

Thanks guys but only got MacBook and I’ve tried all the apps and don’t seem to match
Also I’ve been having issues with a large file on jffs2 shows up different issues depending which firmware I upload from early ASUS to late merlin I don’t know anything about pro

Download the zip file, unpack it, and run this on the command line of your Mac:

➜ shasum -a 256 RT-AX88U_386.4_0_cferom_ubi.w
10da310c6ba586213cc15816e55adb3d3fae282aaa3ae02e4e4d20394e9329de  RT-AX88U_386.4_0_cferom_ubi.w

That checksum matches the one mentioned in the sha256sum.sha256 file.

In Terminal on the Mac, change the directory to where you downloaded the file. Then copy and paste the following:

echo "10da310c6ba586213cc15816e55adb3d3fae282aaa3ae02e4e4d20394e9329de  RT-AX88U_386.4_0_cferom_ubi.w" | shasum -a 256 --check

It matches for me:

RT-AX88U_386.4_0_cferom_ubi.w: OK

I did not know about "--check". Thanks for teaching me!

I think the better command would then be:

➜ cat sha256sum.sha256 | shasum -a 256 --check
RT-AX88U_386.4_0_cferom_ubi.w: OK

Or shorter:

➜ shasum -c sha256sum.sha256 -a 256
RT-AC86U_386.5_beta1_cferom_ubi.w: OK
