Installation
------------
Flash the factory image directly from OEM web interface.
(You can login using these credentials: admin/1234)
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
Flash the OEM "bin" firmware directly from LUCI.
The firmware is downloadable from the OEM web page.
Warning: Remember to not keep settings!
Warning2: Remember to force the flash.
Restoring procedure tested with RE23_1.08.bin
MAC addresses
-------------
factory 0x4 *:24
factory 0x8004 *:25
Cimage 0x07 *:24
Cimage 0x0D *:24
Cimage 0x13 *:24
Cimage 0x19 *:25
No other addresses were found in factory partition.
Since the label contains both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz mac address I decided
to set the 5GHz one as label-mac-device. Moreover it also corresponds
to the lan mac address.
Notes
-----
The wifi led in the OEM firmware changes colour depending on the signal
strength. This can be done in OpenWrt but just for one interface.
So for now will not be any default action for this led.
If you want to open the case, pay attention to the antenna placed on
the bottom part of the front cover.
The wire is a bit short and it breaks easily. (I broke it)

TFTP recovery to stock firmware:
Unfortunately, I can't find an easy way to recover the RE
without opening the device and using modified binaries. The
TFTP upload will only work if selected from u-boot, which
means you have to open the device and attach to the serial
console. The TFTP update procedure does *not* accept the
published vendor firmware binaries. However, it allows to
flash kernel + rootfs binaries, and this works if you have
a backup of the original contents of the flash. It's probably
possible to create special image out of the vendor binaries
and use that as recovery image.

UART (57600 8N1) on PCB
Installation:
Flashing OpenWRT from stock firmware requires nmrpflash. Use an ethernet
cable to connect to LAN port 1 of the R6080, and power the R6080 off.
From the connected workstation, run
`nmrpflash -i eth0 -f openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-netgear_r6080-squashfs-factory.img`,
replacing eth0 with the appropriate interface (can be identified by
running `nmrpflash -L`). Then power on the R6080. After flashing has finished,
power cycle the R6080, and it will boot into OpenWRT. Once OpenWRT has been
installed, subsequent flashes can use the web interface and sysupgrade files.

The WAN LED on DIR-810L was actually blinking on LAN1 port
activity. This has already been improved for the TEW-810DR, where
the GPIO has been set up explicitly rather than having it controlled
by the switch.
This patch also applies this setup to the DIR-810L.
In addition, the trigger in 01_leds is set up with
ucidef_set_led_switch for both devices now, so state changes should
be displayed correctly as well.

Installation:
The sysupgrade.bin image is reported to be OEM web flashed with an ncc_att_hwid
appended. ncc_att_hwid is a 32bit binary in the GPL Source download for either
the TEW-810DR or DIR-810L and is located at
source/user/wolf/cameo/ncc/hostTools.
The invocation is: ncc_att_hwid -f tew-810dr-squashfs-factory.bin -a -m "TEW-810DR" -H "1.0R" -r "WW" -c "1.0"
This may need to be altered if your hardware version is "1.1R".
The image can also be directly flashed via serial tftp:
1. Load *.sysupgrade.bin to your tftp server directory and rename for
convenience.
2. Set a static ip 192.168.10.100.
3. NIC cable to a lan port.
4. Serial connection parameters 57600,8N1
5. Power on the TEW-810 and press 4 for a u-boot command line prompt.
6. Verify IP's with U-Boot command "printenv".
7. Adjust tftp settings if needed per the tftp documentation
8. Boot the tftp image to test the build.
9. If the image loads, reset your server ip to 192.168.1.10 and restart network.
10. Log in to Luci, 192.168.1.1, and flash the *sysupgrade.bin image.

An implementation of CVE-2020-8597 against stock firmware version 1.0.14
This requires a computer with ethernet plugged into the wan port and an active
PPPoE session, and if successful will open a reverse shell to 192.168.31.177

As this shell is somewhat unreliable and likely to be killed in a random amount

Consequently, this patch moves 0x28 to the ðernet node in DTS files

The “factory” openwrt image can be flashed directly from OEM stock
firmware. After the flash the router will reboot automatically.
However, due to the dual boot system, the first installation could fail
(if you want to know why, read the footnotes).
If the flash succeed and you can reach OpenWrt through the web
interface or ssh, you are done.
Otherwise the router will try to boot 3 times and then will
automatically boot the OEM firmware (don’t turn off the router.
Simply wait and try to reach the router through the web interface
every now and then, it will take few minutes).
After this, you should be back in the OEM firmware.
Now you have to flash the OEM Firmware over itself using the OEM web
interface (I tested it using the FW_EA7500v2_2.0.8.194281_prod.img
downloaded from the Linksys website).
When the router reboots flash the “factory” OpenWrt image and this
time it should work.
After the OpenWrt installation you have to use the sysupgrade image
for future updates.
Restore OEM Firmware
--------------------
After the OpenWrt flash, the OEM firmware is still stored in the
second partition thanks to the dual boot system.
You can switch from OpenWrt to OEM firmware and vice-versa failing
the boot 3 times in a row:
1) power on the router
2) wait 15 seconds
3) power off the router
4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware
If you want to completely remove OpenWrt from your router, switch to
the OEM firmware and then flash OEM firmware from the web interface
as a normal update.
This procedure will overwrite the OpenWrt partition.
Footnotes
---------
The Linksys EA7500-v2 has a dual boot system to avoid bricks.
This system works using 2 pair of partitions:
1) "kernel" and "rootfs"
2) "alt_kernel" and "alt_rootfs".
After 3 failed boot attempts, the bootloader tries to boot the other
pair of partitions and so on.
This system is managed by the bootloader, which writes a bootcount in
the s_env partition, and if successfully booted, the system add a
"zero-bootcount" after the previous value.
A system update performed from OEM firmware, writes the firmware on the
other pair of partitions and sets the bootloader to boot the new pair
of partitions editing the “boot_part” variable in the bootloader vars.
Effectively it's a quick and safe system to switch the selected boot
partition.
Another way to switch the boot partition is:
1) power on the router
2) wait 15 seconds
3) power off the router
4) repeat steps 1-2-3 twice more.
5) power on the router and you should be in the “other” firmware
In this OpenWrt port, this dual boot system is partially working
because the bootloader sets the right rootfs partition in the cmdline
but unfortunately OpenWrt for ramips platform overwrites the cmdline
so is not possible to detect the right rootfs partition.
Because all of this, I preferred to simply use the first pair of
partitions and set read-only the other pair.
However this solution is not optimal because is not possible to know
without opening the case which is the current booted partition.
Let’s take for example a router booting the OEM firmware from the first
pair of partitions. If we flash the OpenWrt image, it will be written
on the second pair. In this situation the router will bootloop 3 times
and then will automatically come back to the first pair of partitions
containg the OEM firmware.
In this situation, to flash OpenWrt correctly is necessary to switch
the booting partition, flashing again the OEM firmware over itself.
At this point the OEM firmware is on both pair of partitions but the
current booted pair is the second one.
Now, flashing the OpenWrt factory image will write the firmware on
the first pair and then will boot correctly.
If this limitation in the ramips platform about the cmdline will be
fixed, the dual boot system can also be implemented in OpenWrt with
almost no effort.

Installation:
Update using ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool:
1. Download the ASUS Firmware Restoration Tool but don't open it yet
2. Unplug your computer from the router
3. Put the router into Rescue Mode by: turning the power off, using a pin
to press and hold the reset button, then turning the router back on while
keeping the reset button pressed for ~5 secs until the power LED starts
flashing slowly (which indicates the router has entered Rescue Mode)
4. Important (if you don't do this next step the Asus Firmware
Restoration Tool will wrongly assume that the router is not in Rescue Mode
and will refuse to flash it): go to the Windows Control Panel and
temporarily disable ALL other network adapters except the one you will use
to connect your computer to the router
5. For the single adapter you left enabled, temporarily give it the
static IP 192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
6. Connect a LAN cable between your computer (make sure to use the
Ethernet port of the adapter you've just set up) and port 1 of the router
(not the router's WAN port)
7. Rename sysupgrade.bin to factory.trx
8. Open the Asus Firmware Restoration Tool, locate factory.trx and click
upload (if Windows shows a compatibility prompt, confirm that the tool worked fine)
9. Flashing and reboot is finished when the power LED stops blinking and
stays on

SFP cage of this device is connected via a AT8031 phy to port 5 of the switch.
This phy act as a RGMII-to-SerDes converter.
Also a I2C clock gate needs to be enabled in order to access the SFP module via I2C bus.
SFP cage also has module detect pin which is connected to I2C gpio expander.
With this patch the kernel/PHYLINK now can detect, readout and use the SFP module/port.
NOTE: SFP cage / AT8033 PHY only support 1000base-X encoding!
This means that some SGMII modules can work and only at forced 1GBit/full-duplex!
