but failsafe mode can be entered to reset the password.
Installation Instructions:
- obtain serial access
- stop auto boot (press "4", Entr boot command line
interface)
- setenv active_fw 0 (to boot from the primary rootfs,
or set to 1 to boot from the secondary rootfs
partition)
- saveenv
- tftpboot the initramfs image
- bootm
- copy
openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-netgear_wax214-squashfs-factory.ubi
to the device
- write the image to the NAND:
- cat /proc/mtd and look for rootfs partition (should
be mtd11,
or mtd12 if you choose active_fw 1)
- ubiformat /dev/mtd11 -f -y
openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-netgear_wax214-squashfs-factory.ubi
- reboot
Note: the firmware is senao-based. But I was unable to build
a valid senao-header into the image.
Maybe they changed the header format and senaoFW isn't
working any more.

OpenWRT Installation
1. Simplest way is just do upgrade from webpage with *factory.img
2. You can also do it with standard tool for Netgear's debricking - NMPRFlash
3. Most advanced way is to open device , connect to UART console and :
- Prepare OpenWrt initramfs image in TFTP server root (server IP 192.168.1.10)
- Connect serial console (115200,8n1) to UART connector
- Connect TFTP server to RJ-45 port
- Stop in u-Boot and run u-Boot command:
> setenv serverip 192.168.1.10
> set fdt_high 0x85000000
> tftpboot 0x83000000 openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-initramfs-zImage.itb
> bootm 0x83000000
- Login via ssh
- upload or download *sysupgrade.bin ( like wget ... or scp transfer)
- Install image via "sysupgrade -n" (like “sysupgrade -n /tmp/openwrt-ipq40xx-generic-netgear_lbr20-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin”)
Back to Stock
- Download firmware from official Netgear's webpage , it will be *.img file after decompressing.
- Use NMRPFlash tool ( detailed insructions on project page https://github.com/jclehner/nmrpflash )
Open the case
- Unscrew nuts and remove washers from antenna's conectors.
- There are two Torx T10 screws under the label next to antenna conectors. You have to unglue this label from left and right corner to get it
- Two parts of shell covers will slide out from eachother , you have to unglue two small rubber pads and namplate sticker on bottom to do that.
- PCB is screwed with 4Pcs of Torx T10 screws
- Before lifting up PCB remove pigtiles for LTE antennas and release them from PCB and radiator (black and white wires)
- On other side of PCB ,in left bottom corner there is already soldered with 4 pins UART connector for console. Counting from left it is +3,3V , TX , RX ,GND (reffer to this picture: https://i.ibb.co/Pmrf9KB/20240116-103524.jpg )

Power: 12V Type-C PD
Installation instructions for eMMC
----------------------------------
0. Set boot switch to boot from SPI-NAND (assuming stock rom or immortalwrt
running there).
1. Write GPT partition table to eMMC
Move openwrt-mediatek-filogic-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-gpt.bin to
the device /tmp using scp and write it to /dev/mmcblk0:
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-r3-mini-emmc-gpt.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0
2. Reboot (to reload partition table)
3. Write bootloader and OpenWrt images
Move files to the device /tmp using scp:
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-preloader.bin
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Write them to the appropriate partitions:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-preloader.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot0
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-emmc-bl31-uboot.fip of=/dev/mmcblk0p3
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0p4
dd if=/tmp/openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0p5
sync
4. Remove the device from power, set boot switch to eMMC and boot into
OpenWrt. The device will come up with IP 192.168.1.1 and assume the
Ethernet port closer to the USB-C power connector as LAN port.
5. If you like to have Ethernet support inside U-Boot (eg. to boot via
TFTP) you also need to write the PHY firmware to /dev/mmcblk0boot1:
echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot1/force_ro
dd if=/lib/firmware/airoha/EthMD32.dm.bin of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1
dd if=/lib/firmware/airoha/EthMD32.DSP.bin bs=16384 seek=1 of=/dev/mmcblk0boot1
Installation instructions for NAND
----------------------------------
0. Set boot switch to boot from eMMC (assuming OpenWrt is installed there
by instructions above. Using stock rom or immortalwrt does NOT work!)
1. Write things to NAND
Move files to the device /tmp using scp:
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-preloader.bin
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-snand-bl31-uboot.fip
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-initramfs-recovery.itb
- openwrt-*-bananapi_bpi-r3-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Write them to the appropriate locations:

Flashing via uBoot:
- Open the case, connect to the UART console
- Set your IP address to 10.10.10.3, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect to one of the LAN interfaces of the router
- Run a tftp server which provides openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-dlink_eagle-pro-ai-r32-initramfs-kernel.bin.
- You can rename the file to iverson_uImage (no extension), then you don't have to enter the whole file name in uboot later.
- Power on the device and select "1. System Load Linux to SDRAM via TFTP." in the boot menu
- Enter image file, tftp server IP and device IP (if they differ from the default).
- TFTP download to RAM will start. After a few seconds OpenWrt initramfs should start
- The initramfs is accessible via 192.168.1.1, change your IP address accordingly (or use multiple IP addresses on your interface)
- Create a backup of the Kernel1 partition, this file is required if a revert to stock should be done later
- Perform a sysupgrade using openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-dlink_eagle-pro-ai-r32-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
- Reboot the device. OpenWrt should start from flash now
Revert back to stock using the Recovery Web Interface:
- Set your IP address to 192.168.0.10, subnetmask 255.255.255.0
- Press the reset button while powering on the deivce
- Keep the reset button pressed until the internet LED blinks fast
- Open a Chromium based and goto http://192.168.0.1

Decrypting a D-Link firmware image:
- Download https://github.com/RolandoMagico/firmware-utils/blob/M32/src/m32-firmware-util.c
- Compile a binary from the downloaded file, e.g. gcc m32-firmware-util.c -lcrypto -o m32-firmware-util
- Run ./m32-firmware-util R32 --DecryptFactoryImage <OriginalFirmware> <OutputFile>
- Example for firmware R32A1_FW103B01: ./m32-firmware-util R32 --DecryptFactoryImage R32A1_FW103B01.bin R32A1_FW103B01.decrypted.bin
Revert back to stock using uBoot:
- Open the case, connect to the UART console
- Set your IP address to 10.10.10.3, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Connect to one of the LAN interfaces of the router
- Run a tftp server which provides the previously created backup of the Kernel1 partition.
- You can rename the file to iverson_uImage (no extension), then you don't have to enter the whole file name in uboot later.
- Power on the device and select "2. System Load Linux Kernel then write to Flash via TFTP." in the boot menu
- Enter image file, tftp server IP and device IP (if they differ from the default).
- TFTP download to FLASH will start. After a few seconds the stock firmware should start again
There is also an image openwrt-mediatek-mt7622-dlink_eagle-pro-ai-r32-a1-squashfs-tftp.bin which can directly be flashed via U-Boot and TFTP.
It can be used if no backup of the Kernel1 partition is reuqired.
Flahsing via OEM web interface is currently not possible, the OEM images are encrypted. Creating images is only possible manually at the moment.
The support for the M32/R32 already includes support for flashing from the OEM web interface:
- The device tree contains both partitions (Kernel1 and Kernel2) with conditions to select the correct one based on the kernel command line
- The U-Boot variable "boot_part" is set accordingly during startup to finish the partition swap after flashing from the OEM web interface
- OpenWrt sysupgrade flashing always uses the partition where it was initially flashed to (no partition swap)

2. Navigate to Settings -> Configuration -> Save to Computer
3. Decode the configuration. For example, using cfgtool.py tool (see
related section):
cfgtool.py -u configurationBackup.cfg
4. Open configurationBackup.xml and find the following block:
<OBJECT name="User." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<OBJECT name="1." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<PARAMETER name="Password" type="string" value="<some value>" writable="1" encryption="1" password="1" />
</OBJECT>
5. Replace <some value> by a new superadmin password and add a line
which enabling superadmin login after. For example, the block after
the changes:
<OBJECT name="User." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<OBJECT name="1." type="object" writable="1" encryption="0" >
<PARAMETER name="Password" type="string" value="s0meP@ss" writable="1" encryption="1" password="1" />
<PARAMETER name="Enable" type="boolean" value="1" writable="1" encryption="0"/>
</OBJECT>
6. Encode the configuration. For example, using cfgtool.py tool:
cfgtool.py -p configurationBackup.xml
7. Upload the changed configuration (configurationBackup_changed.cfg) to
the router
8. Login to the router web interface (superadmin:xxxxxxxxxx, where
xxxxxxxxxx is a new password from the p.5)
9. Enable SSH access to the router (Settings -> Access control -> SSH)
10. Connect to the router using SSH shell using superadmin account
11. Run in SSH shell:
sh
12. Make a mtd backup (optional, see related section)
13. Change bootflag to Sercomm1 and reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3
reboot
14. Login to the router web interface under admin account
15. Remove dots from the OpenWrt factory image filename
16. Update firmware via web using OpenWrt factory image
Revert to stock
---------------
Change bootflag to Sercomm1 in OpenWrt CLI and then reboot:
printf 1 | dd bs=1 seek=7 count=1 of=/dev/mtdblock3

Recent envtools update to 2023.07.02 has introduced a breakage when trying
to parallel build with the following error:
/bin/sh: line 1: scripts/basic/fixdep: No such file or directory
Luckily it can easily be reproduced locally via a simple script so it was
not hard to bisect it down to upstream commit [1].
However, its not that commits fault, it just uncovered an issue with the
way we have been building envtools for a long time, maybe even from the
package introduction.
The issue is that we are trying to build envtools as one of the U-Boot
no-dot-config-targets but envtools was newer a valid target for it but
since we were creating the config headers that were not actually used it
was actually building all this time.
Since the blamed commit [1] a tool called printinitialenv is built and
now a proper config is actually required in order for prerequisites to
get built properly.
So, in order to properly fix this (Hopefully for good) lets stop pretending
that envtools are a valid no-dot-config-targets target and use the
tools-only defconfig which is meant exactly for just building the tools.
This will make a minimal config for the U-Boot sandbox target and then
envtools will build just fine in parallel mode (I tested with 32 threads).
We do hovewer need to override the ARCH passed by OpenWrt and set it to
sandbox as otherwise U-Boot will not find the required headers because the
ARCH is being overriden to an incorrect one.

Telenor quirks
--------------
The operator specific firmware running on the Telenor branded
ZyXEL EX5700 includes U-Boot modifications affecting the OpenWrt
installation.
Notable changes to U-Boot include
- environment is stored in RAM and reset to defaults when power
cycled
- dual partition scheme with "nomimal" or "rescue" systems, falling
back to "rescue" unless the OS signals success in 3 attempts
- several runtime additions to the device-tree
Some of these modifications have side effects requiring workarounds
- U-Boot modifies /chosen/bootargs in an unsafe manner, and will crash
unless this node exists
- U-Boot verifies that the selected rootfs UBI volume exists, and
refuses to boot if it doesn't. The chosen "rootfs" volume must contain
a squashfs signature even for tftp or initramfs booting.
- U-Boot parses the "factoryparams" UBI volume, setting the "ethaddr"
variable to the label mac. But "factoryparams" does not always
exist. Instead there is a "RIP" volume containing all the factory
data. Copying the "RIP" volume to "factoryparams" will fix this
Hardware
--------
SOC: MediaTek MT7986
RAM: 1GB DDR4
FLASH: 512MB SPI-NAND (Mikron xxx)
WIFI: Mediatek MT7986 802.11ax 5 GHz
Mediatek MT7916 DBDC 802.11ax 2.4 + 6 GHz
ETH: MediaTek MT7531 Switch + SoC
3 x builtin 1G phy (lan1, lan2, lan3)
2 x MaxLinear GPY211C 2.5 N-Base-T phy (lan4, wan)
USB: 1 x USB 3.2 Enhanced SuperSpeed port
UART: 3V3 115200 8N1 (Pinout: GND KEY RX TX VCC)
Installation
------------
1. Download the OpenWrt initramfs image. Copy the image to a TFTP server
reachable at 192.168.1.2/24. Rename the image to C0A80101.img.
2. Connect the TFTP server to lan1, lan2 or lan3. Connect to the serial
console, Interrupt the autoboot process by pressing ESC when prompted.
3. Download and boot the OpenWrt initramfs image.
$ env set uboot_bootcount 0
$ env set firmware nominal
$ tftpboot
$ bootm
4. Wait for OpenWrt to boot. Transfer the sysupgrade image to the device
using scp and install using sysupgrade.
$ sysupgrade -n <path-to-sysupgrade.bin>
Missing features
----------------
- The "lan1", "lan2" and "lan3" port LEDs are driven by the switch but
OpenWrt does not correctly configure the output.
- The "lan4" and "wan" port LEDs are driven by the GPH211C phys and
not configured by OpenWrt.

* Power: 19 VDC, 3.1 A
Installation:
* Flashing OpenWrt is done in two steps:
a) Flash *-squashfs-web-ui-factory.img from stock UI (thanks to @wangyu-).
This writes an initramfs based OpenWrt image onto the RAX120v2
b) From OpenWrt flash the *-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin using LuCI or the commandline
* U-Boot allows booting an initramfs image via TFTP:
- Set ip of your PC to 192.168.1.100
- At the serial console interrupt boot at "Hit any key to stop autoboot:"
- In u-boot run `tftpsrv`
- On your PC send the OpenWrt initramfs image:
tftp 192.168.1.1 -m binary -c put openwrt-ipq807x-generic-netgear_rax120v2-initramfs-uImage.itb
Make 5G Aquantia phy work:
For the 5G port labeled 'lan5' to work a firmware is needed. This can be loaded in
u-boot by writing the firmware to the correct mtd partition.
The firmware file found in the Netgear stock firmware under /lib/firmware/ named
'AQR-G3_v4.3.C-AQR_DNI_DR-EQ35AX8-R-prov1_ID23888_VER1311.cld' is needed and has to
be converted to a MBN file.
The `mkheader.py` script used here can be found in the Netgear V1.2.8.40 GPL source,
under 'git_home/u-boot.git/tools/mkheader.py'
Convert the CLD file to MBN using:
$ python2 mkheader.py 0x44000000 0x13 <*.cld file> aqr_4.3.C.mbn
This MBN file can then be flashed to the MTD partition to be used by u-boot.
The necessary files can also be found in
https://github.com/boretom/openwrt-fork/tree/rax120v2/aquantia-firmware
* Write MBN file to MTD partition to be loaded automatically by u-boot:
U-boot automatically tries to load the firmware from nand at address 0x7e00000 which
corresponds to `/dev/mtd25` in OpenWrt.
- find ETHPHYFW partition while running OpenWrt (expected: /dev/mtd25)
$ fgrep -i 'ethphyfw' /proc/mtd
mtd25: 00080000 00020000 "ethphyfw
- copy mbn file to /tmp/ folder of the router
$ scp aqr-v4.3.C.mbn 192.168.1.1:/tmp/
- write mbn file to ethphyfw partition
$ mtd write /tmp/aqr_v4.3.C.mbn /dev/mtd25
Revert to stock firmware:
* Flash the stock firmware to the bootloader using TFTP/NMRP.

Update to the latest stable version.
This update changes the default lockfile directory from /var/lock to
/run [1]. In OpenWRT we still use the "legacy" /var/lock and /run might
not even exist, so we add a patch to revert this particular change.
