Hi,

i tried several methods, but always ended up with system image fail
appreciate advise and help
dsl ax82u firmware
dnuton firmware
tftp, asus restoration tool
192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
2 computers with LAN connection
turn off firewall

 

[GNUton]

I tried both gnuton and asus dsl ax82u firmware
same message

my router current firmware is 3.0.0.4.386_43578

Sometime I brick the router and I use TFTP which has always worked great for me.
Set your machine to 192.168.1.10 or something between 2-253
then run tftp as follow. do not forget mode binary, otherwise it will fail.

When put is complete wait for some mins.

# tftp
tftp > connect 192.168.1.1
tftp > mode binary
tftp > put my_file.w

If this doesn't work you are doing something wrong.
There are still other ways to flash the firmware but they are more "dangerous".

 

[hong88]

i tried tftp with the following settings.
still stuck with optus firmware.
cannot figure out what went wrong

Hello,
Version : 386.04_0-gnuton2
Thank you for your firmware always very effective. This is purely a cosmetic note.
On the following screenshots there is a difference between the settings in "Administration" and "System Log - DSL Log"

ANNEX B is missing

Merci

 

[GNUton]

DSL-AX82U right?
You are right it's supported. is this fine on the stock firmware?

AFAIR Annex B was not in the support page:

Hello,

Since I know your firmware I only install those.
However, what I haven't tried is doing a hard reset.

Thanks

@GNUton : I flashed latest stable build on my ASUS DSL-AC68U and it's working great !

Many thanks for this great work mate

 

[Jmat2240]

@GNUton I've flashed the beta release for my RT-AX82u and it has been working great! The overall system appears far more stable then stock, I rarely have to reset my router. It just works! Thanks for all your hard work and dedication.

DSL-AX82U
Had the firmware update notification again, the visit download site button then goes to

https://fwupdate.asuswrt-merlin.net/DSL-AX82U

which is a dead page, this happened with the release before also. If I remember right before that one it used to go to https://gnuton.github.io/asuswrt-merlin.ng/ , maybe not that one, but it was definitely going to a working a gnuton build relevant page.

 

[GNUton]

@Yakumo this has already been fixed with the current stable. Ping me if you see this happening again. thanks for reporting.

i tried tftp with the following settings.
still stuck with optus firmware.
cannot figure out what went wrong

Hi, I just flash new firmware to the optus router (DSL-AX5400) successfully. It took me two days to find a way. Neither tftp or Asus restoration tool is woking.

You can follow this :

1. Enable SSH . https://github.com/gnuton/asuswrt-merlin.ng/issues/168
2. Transfer the firmware.w file to router via WinSCP
3. Login to router via Putty
4. Use command: hnd-write firmware.w
5. Reboot

Welcome to the forums @tabbusonu.

Why are you doing that?

Welcome to the forums @tabbusonu.

thanks L&LD.
the current firmware is optus locked. i want to use this as a Aimesh node.

I don't think your model is on the list of supported models is it? Edit: Nvm the github says it is.

Is this the router model you are using?

its the same as that one on asus website. but this one was sold by optus with model number DSL AX5400. Not as ax82u. but i believe both r same except the firmware lock on optus. Thanks
