TL-MR3020 Upgrade Problem

Hi there,

I've had a TP-Link MR3020 that was running version 0.6 of Piratebox for some time however today I tried to upgrade to newer version and I'm stuck at the post-installation.

Context first. I followed the instructions here and after it said "Rebooting..." I got a error message

Writing from openwrt-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3020-v1-squashfs-factory.bin to firmware ...
Rebooting ...
Bus error

So I powered off the 3020, used an other memory stick and ran the mtd command again.
Left it for 1 hour 8 min and 50 seconds while watching a comedy show...

Came back, saw that all the LED's were on and tried to login via SSH which was a no go. So I logged in via telnet and continued the post-install.

However after setting root password and "timesave" option I tried to run the /opt/piratebox/bin/board-autoconf.sh command but my PirateBox does not have that folder. The only folders I see are

[*] bin
[*] dev
[*] etc
[*] lib
[*] mnt
[*] overlay
[*] proc
[*] rom
[*] root
[*] sbin
[*] sys
[*] tmp
[*] usr
[*] www

also a "init" file and "var -> /tmp" symlink.

When I log onto the 3020 it says "12.09.2, R42647, V0.3-MaStr" if that helps.
So please could anyone help me get my PirateBox upgraded and running again? If you would be so kind as to start with how I might have screwed it up that would also be welcome.

Hi,
it seems the auto installation did not kick in.

Please post the output of these commands here:Technical summary

Hi Matthias,

I hope a pastebin link is Ok.

Technical summary

Hi,
yes perfect.
Do the following:
- Download a fresh copy of the install_zip
- Power off the PirateBox
- Take the USB stick to your computer
- Remove the install folder and the install.log file
- Extract a new copy of the install folder to the USB stick
- Remove the USB stick savely
- Put it to your PirateBox and power it on.


It seems that for some reason the auto_installer already run during your upgrade process (before the reflash was done).. So maybe that is the reason. With the steps above, you start of a fresh installation of the packages.

best regards Matthias

Brilliant! It is up and running now.

I thank you very much Matthias. I let it run for a while and then finished Post-Installation steps. Thank you very much.
