(cherry picked from commit 6dc0675e5b)
From the Netgear u-boot GPL code[1]. Bootloader always unconditionally
marks block 768, 1020 - 1023 as bad blocks on each boot. This may lead
to conflicts with the OpenWrt nand driver since these blocks may be good
blocks. In this case, U-boot will override the oob of these blocks so
that break the ubi volume. The system will be damaged after first reboot.
To avoid this issue, manually skip these blocks by using "mtd-concat".

In Netgear u-boot GPL code, nand devices uses this formula to locate the
rootfs offset.
offset = (((128 + KERNEL_SIZE) / BLOCK_SIZE) + 1) * BLOCK_SIZE;
Howerver, WNDR4500 source code incorrectly define the nand block size to
64k. In some cases, it causes u-boot can't get the correct rootfs offset,
which result in boot failure. This patch workaround it by padding kernel
size to (128k * n - 128 - 1). The additional char '\0' is used to ensure
the (128 + KERNEL_SIZE) can't be divided by the BLOCK_SIZE.

Enable building a factory image which can be flashed through the OEM
firmware's web interface. It seems that the web interface requires a
minimum file size of 10MiB, otherwise it will not accept the image.
The update image is a regular sysupgrade tarball packed in a Netgear
encrypted image. The Netgear encrypted image is the same as used in
WAX202 or WAX206, including the encryption keys and IV.
This adds a script which creates the rootfs_data volume on first
startup. This is required since the OEM firmware's sysupgrade scripts
do not create such a paritition. Note that any script ordered after
70_initramfs_test will not get executed on initramfs. Hence this new
script 75_rootfs_prepare won't create the rootfs_data volume when
using the recovery initramfs.
Also, this deletes the kernel_backup and rootfs_backup volumes in case
we have to create the rootfs_data volumes. This makes sure that
OpenWrt is the actual backup firmware instead of the stock firmware.

The ZTE MF287 Pro is a LTE router used (exclusively?) by the network
operator "3". It is very similar to the MF287+, but the hardware layout
and partition layout have changed quite a bit.
Specifications
==============
SoC: IPQ4018
RAM: 256MiB
Flash: 8MiB SPI-NOR + 128MiB SPI-NAND
LAN: 4x GBit LAN
LTE: ZTE Cat12
WiFi: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac SoC-integrated
USB: 1x 2.0
MAC addresses
=============
LAN: from config + 2
WiFi 1: from config
WiFi 2: from config + 1
Installation
============
Option 1 - TFTP
---------------
TFTP installation using UART is preferred. Disassemble the device and
connect serial. Put the initramfs image as openwrt.bin to your TFTP server
and configure a static IP of 192.168.1.100. Load the initramfs image by
typing:
setenv serverip 192.168.1.100
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1
tftpboot 0x82000000 openwrt.bin
bootm 0x82000000
From this intiramfs boot you can take a backup of the currently installed
partitions as no vendor firmware is available for download:
ubiattach -m17
cat /dev/ubi0_0 > /tmp/ubi0_0
cat /dev/ubi0_1 > /tmp/ubi0_1
Copy the files /tmp/ubi0_0 and /tmp/ubi0_1 somewhere save.
Once booted, transfer the sysupgrade image and run sysupgrade. You might
have to delete the stock volumes first:
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
Option 2 - From stock firmware
------------------------------
The installation from stock requires an exploit first. The exploit consists
of a backup file that forces the firmware to download telnetd via TFTP from
192.168.0.22 and run it. Once exploited, you can connect via telnet and
login as admin:admin.
The exploit will be available at the device wiki page.
Once inside the stock firmware, you can transfer the -factory.bin file to
/tmp by using "scp" from the stock frmware or "tftp".
ZTE has blocked writing to the NAND. Fortunately, it's easy to allow write
access - you need to read from one file in /proc. Once done, you need to
erase the UBI partition and flash OpenWrt. Before performing the operation,
make sure that mtd13 is the partition labelled "rootfs" by calling
"cat /proc/mtd".
Complete commands:
cd /tmp
tftp -g -r factory.bin 192.168.0.22
cat /proc/driver/sensor_id
flash_erase /dev/mtd17 0 0
dd if=/tmp/factory.bin of=/dev/mtdblock17 bs=131072
Afterwards, reboot your device and you should have a working OpenWrt
installation.
Restore Stock
=============
Option 1 - via UART
-------------------
Boot an OpenWrt initramfs image via TFTP as for the initial installation.
Transfer the two backed-up files to your box to /tmp.
Then, run the following commands - replace $kernel_length and $rootfs_size
by the size of ubi0_0 and ubi0_1 in bytes.
ubiattach -m 17
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs
ubirmvol /dev/ubi0 -N rootfs_data
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N kernel -s $kernel_length
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N ubi_rootfs -s $rootfs_size
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_0 /tmp/ubi0_0
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_1 /tmp/ubi0_1
Option 2 - from within OpenWrt
------------------------------
This option requires to flash an initramfs version first so that access
to the flash is possible. This can be achieved by sysupgrading to the
recovery.bin version and rebooting. Once rebooted, you are again in a
default OpenWrt installation, but no partition is mounted.
Follow the commands from Option 1 to flash back to stock.
LTE Modem
=========
The LTE modem is similar to other ZTE devices and controls some more LEDs
and battery management.
Configuring the connection using uqmi works properly, the modem
provides three serial ports and a QMI CDC ethernet interface.
Other Notes
===========
Contrary to the stock firmware, the USB port on the back can be used.
There is one GPIO Switch "Power button blocker" which, if enabled, does not
trigger a reset of the SoC if the modem reboots. If disabled, the SoC is
rebooted along with the modem. The modem can be rebooted via the exported
GPIO "modem-reset" in /sys/class/gpio.

(cherry picked from commit 54e5e396c5)
It seems that the Meraki bootloader does not respect the kernel ARM booting
specification[1] that requires that address where DTB is located needs to
be 64-bit aligned and often places the DTB on a non 64-bit aligned address
and then kernel fails to find the DTB magic and fails to boot.
Even worse, there is no prints until early printk is enabled and then its
visible that kernel is trying to find the ATAG-s as DTB was not found or
is invalid.
Unifi 6 devices had the same issue and it can be solved by passing the
load adress as part of the FIT image.
It seems that the vendor was aware of the issue and is always relocating
the DTB to 0x89000000, so lets just do the same.
Now that booting is reliable, reenable default images for the Meraki MR33
and MR74 devices.

(Manual taken from f2f09bc002)
Booting initramfs image:
------------------------
- Prepare a FTP or TFTP server serving the OpenWrt initramfs image and
connect the server to a switch port.
- Connect to the console port of the device and enter the extended
boot menu by typing Ctrl+B when prompted.
- Choose the menu option "<3> Enter Ethernet SubMenu".
- Set network parameters via the option "<5> Modify Ethernet Parameter".
Enter the FTP/TFTP filename as "Load File Name" ("Target File Name"
can be left blank, it is not required for booting from RAM). Note that
the configuration is saved on flash, so it only needs to be done once.
- Select "<1> Download Application Program To SDRAM And Run".
Initial installation:
---------------------
- Boot an initramfs image as described above, then use sysupgrade to
install OpenWrt permanently. After initial installation, the
bootloader needs to be configured to load the correct image file
- Enter the extended boot menu again and choose "<4> File Control",
then select "<2> Set Application File type".
- Enter the number of the file "openwrt-kernel.bin" (should be 1), and
use the option "<1> +Main" to select it as boot image.
- Choose "<0> Exit To Main Menu" and then "<1> Boot System".
NOTE: The bootloader on these devices can only boot from the VFS
filesystem which normally spans most of the flash. With OpenWrt, only
the first part of the firmware partition contains a valid filesystem,
the rest is used for rootfs. As the bootloader does not know about this,
you must not do any file operations in the bootloader, as this may
corrupt the OpenWrt installation (selecting the boot image is an
exception, as it only stores a flag in the bootloader data, but doesn't
write to the filesystem).

`sysupgrade -n /tmp/stock-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin`
Or go to luci web.
If you need to change to Openwrt U-Boot layout, do next. If you
do not need, please ignore it.
Change to OpenWrt U-Boot:
1. Flash ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi
Check mtd partitions: `cat /proc/mtd`
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 02200000 00020000 "ubi_kernel"
mtd9: 04e00000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Run following command:
`ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-factory.ubi`
Then reboot your router, it should boot to the openwrt initramfs
system now.
2. Check mtd again
```
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "KF"
mtd8: 07000000 00020000 "ubi"
```
Make sure mtd8 is ubi.
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Clean up pstore
Run Command: `rm -f /sys/fs/pstore/*`
5. Format ubi and create new ubootenv volume
```
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 0 -N ubootenv -s 128KiB
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 1 -N ubootenv2 -s 128KiB
```
6. (Optional) Add recovery boot feature.
```
ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -n 2 -N recovery -s 10MiB
ubiupdatevol /dev/ubi0_2 /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
```
7. Flash Openwrt U-Boot
```
mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-preloader.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/ubootmod-bl31-uboot.fip FIP
```
6. Flash ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -n /tmp/ubootmod-squashfs-sysupgrade.itb`
Or go to luci web.
Now everything is done, Enjoy!
Go Back to stock from Openwrt U-Boot:
1. Force flash ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb
Use shell command:
`sysupgrade -F -n /tmp/ubootmod-initramfs-recovery.itb`
Or go to luci web.
Then it should boot to the openwrt initramfs system now.
2. Format ubi and Nvram
```
ubidetach -p /dev/mtd8; ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y; ubiattach -p /dev/mtd8
mtd erase Nvram
```
3. Install kmod-mtd-rw
Run command: `opkg update && opkg install kmod-mtd-rw`
Or get it in openwrt server, or build it yourself, then install
it manually
Then run this command:
`insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/mtd-rw.ko i_want_a_brick=1`
4. Flash stock U-Boot and ubi
```
mtd write /tmp/BL2.bin BL2
mtd write /tmp/FIP.bin FIP
mtd write /tmp/ubi.bin ubi
```
Then reboot your router, waiting it finished rollback in minutes.
Go Back to stock from stock layout Openwrt:
Just run command: `ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y -f /tmp/ubi.bin`
Then reboot your router, waiting it finished rollback in minutes.
Notes:
1. Openwrt U-Boot and ubootmod openwrt did not enable NMBM.
Please make your backup safe.

Installation
------------
1. Connect to the device using serial console.
2. Interrupt the Autoboot process when promted by sending '0' twice.
3. Serve the OpenWrt initramfs image using TFTP at 192.168.1.66. Name
the image "predator.bin" and conenct the TFTP server to the routers
LAN port.
4. Configure U-Boot to allow loading unsigned images from MMC
$ setenv bootcmd 'mmc read 0x40000000 0x00004400 0x0010000;
fdt addr $(fdtcontroladdr); fdt rm /signature; bootm 0x40000000';
saveenv
5. Transfer the image from U-Boot
$ setenv serverip 192.168.1.66; setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.1;
tftpboot 0x46000000 predator.bin; fdt addr $(fdtcontroladdr);
fdt rm /signature; bootm
6. Wait for OpenWrt to boot
7. Transfer the OpenWrt sysupgrade image to the router using scp.
8. Install OpenWrt using sysupgrade.
