When I switch for good I will actually flash the WRT32X U-boot.


From "\core\linksys\files" in the GPL?

The easiest way, after flashing the WRT32X firmware will be to issue from SSH or telnet (can't remember if its enabled by default)
Code:
mtd write /uboot209.bin u-boot


If not enabled by default, how are you enabling it in OEM firmware? Or just going to switch over the DD-WRT to gain access?

PS I see that an update to WRT32X firmware appeared on Linksys website. A small bump from 1.0.170818.201 to 1.0.170828.208


That is what I used today to upgrade from WebUI.

No, I meant I can't remeber if telnet is enabled cause SSH is Smile
You don't need to search for U-boot in GPL source or anywhere else as its in the root directory of the filesystem
Code:
root@Linksys00489:~# ls /
bin           lib           proc          sbin          uboot209.bin  www
dev           mnt           rom           sys           usr
etc           overlay       root          tmp           var
root@Linksys00489:~#

Yeah, i wonder if u can choose which devices can use the vpn client,

I like dd-wrt for that.

True same car, same engine, but perhaps status post dyno for max power?


you're not alone! i could really use that kind of discretion from within the router. netflix chooses to deny access when vpn is used for my smart tv. so now, i do it on networked 'puters - when i can remember.

Official updates are ok without modifying the U-boot.
But if you want to try it then after the firmware boots login via SSH or preferably via serial to openwrt with root user and issue:

Code:
mtd write /uboot209.bin u-boot
reboot


Then in U-boot console issue:
Code:
resetenv
reset


Login to U-boot console once more to enable serial output:
Code:
setenv -f silent
saveenv

So I've just converted my 3200acm to the 32x firmware. Thank you for the steps inteliboy.

Is there anything lost by not changing the uboot? What are the consequences of that?

There is no need to switch to WRT32X bootloader Smile You are not missing out on anything.

The geniuses out there are really impressive. Now patiently waiting for a solution that does not involve serial.

I don't think you will get one. You can't open the front door without first getting through the backdoor.

Serial is really not that hard.

Flattery is nice Smile and inteliboy and aprilthemoo, for sure, are skilled craftsmen (and women).

But the nature of what is being change while in the u-boot env, can only be changed there. Firmware flashing just flashes into the defined partitions spaces as defined in the env. So without the groundwork being laid (work in u-boot), you can't just flash the firmware on top. Square peg in a round hole.
