Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Copy the image to a TFTP server 2. Connect to console on the AP, and connect the LAN port to your LAN 3. Stop auto boot to get to U-boot shell, interrupt the autoboot process by pressing '0' when prompted 4. Set active_fw in env # setenv active_fw 1 5. Transfer the initramfs image with TFTP # setenv serverip 192.168.1.10 (IP of TFTP server host) # setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1 (IP used by the router for getting the image, must be in the same subnet as the TFTP host) # tftpboot openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-netgear_wax620-initramfs-uImage.itb 6. Reboot and load the image # bootm 7. SCP factory image to the AP # scp openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-netgear_wax620-squashfs-factory.ubi root@192.168.1.1:/tmp/ 8. Connect to device using SSH (use the LAN port) 9. Flash squashfs-factory.ubi from within the initramfs instance of OpenWRT Before you flash, please check your mtd partitions where mtdX is the right mtd rootfs partition. # cat /proc/mtd (To check MTD partitions) # ubiformat /dev/mtd19 -y -f /tmp/openwrt-qualcommax-ipq807x-netgear_wax620-squashfs-factory.ubi 10. Set active_fw to 0 # /usr/sbin/fw_setenv active_fw 0 11. Reboot the AP and your done # reboot ```
