=============
Web UI method
-------------
Set up the device using the stock web UI in local management mode.
Download the ui-factory.tar image.
* Enter the Management tab
* Select Maintenance->Upgrade->Firmware Upgrade
* Ensure the "Upgrade Options" field has "Local" selected
* Click "Browse File" and select the image
* Click "Upgrade" (NOT "Upgrade Now") at the bottom of the page
The device will install the image but reboot back into the vendor
firmware. Return the to Firmware Upgrade page as above and select
"Boot up Backup Firmware". The device should reboot into OpenWRT.
TFTP method
-----------
To flash via tftp, first place the initramfs image on the TFTP server.
setenv serverip <ip of tftp server>
setenv ipaddr <ip in same subnet as tftp server>
tftpboot netgear_wax610-initramfs-uImage.itb
bootm
This should boot OpenWRT. Once booted, flash the sysupgrade.bin image
using either luci or the command line.

Flash instructions (Without Serial):
========
Open Linksys Web UI - http://192.168.1.1/ca or http://linksysxxxxx.lan/ca depending on your setup.
xxxxx is the last 5 digits from the SN found on a sticker under the device.
Click on the Linksys Logo to by-pass smart app registration.
Login with your admin password. The default password can be found on the same sticker.
To enter into the support mode, click on the “CA” link and the bottom of the page.
Open the “Connectivity” menu and upload the squash-factory image with the “Choose file” button.
Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click “yes” in all the popups.
Flash instructions (With Serial):
========
1. Installation using serial connection from OEM firmware (default login: root, password: admin):
- fw_printenv -n boot_part
In case of 2:
- flash_erase /dev/mtd13 0 0
- nandwrite -p /dev/mtd13 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-squashfs-factory.bin
or in case of 1:
- flash_erase /dev/mtd15 0 0
- nandwrite -p /dev/mtd15 openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-squashfs-factory.bin
After first boot install firmware on second partition:
- mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
or:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
2. Installation from initramfs image using USB drive:
Put the initramfs image on the USB drive:
- dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda
Stop u-boot and run:
- usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr
Write firmware to the flash from initramfs:
- mtd -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-squashfs-factory.bin kernel
and:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
3. Back to the OEM firmware:
- mtd -e kernel -n write FW_MR7500_1.1.12.211919_prod.img kernel
and:
- mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write FW_MR7500_1.1.12.211919_prod.img alt_kernel
4. USB recovery:
Put the initramfs image on the USB:
- dd bs=1M if=openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7500-initramfs-uImage.itb of=/dev/sda
Set u-boot env:
- fw_setenv bootusb 'usb start && usbboot $loadaddr 0 && bootm $loadaddr'
- fw_setenv bootcmd 'run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
AQR firmware:
========
0. Firmware extracting:
To extract the firmware, use unblob (unblob.org)
1. Firmware loading:
To properly load the firmware and initialize AQR PHY, we must use the u-boot aq_load_fw function.
To do this, you need to modify u-boot env:
With USB recovery:
- fw_setenv bootcmd 'aq_load_fw; run bootusb; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
and without:
- fw_setenv bootcmd 'aq_load_fw; if test $auto_recovery = no; then bootipq; elif test $boot_part = 1; then run bootpart1; else run bootpart2; fi'
2. Firmware updating:
Newer firmware (AQR114C.cld) is available in the latest OEM firmware (https://downloads.linksys.com/support/assets/firmware/FW_MR7500_1.1.12.211919_prod.img).
Copy AQR114C.cld to /lib/firmware/marvell

Installation instructions:
Open Linksys Web UI - http://192.168.1.1/ca or http://10.65.1.1/ca depending on your setup.
Login with your admin password. The default password can be found on a sticker under the device.
To enter into the support mode, click on the “CA” link and the bottom of the page.
Open the “Connectivity” menu and upload the squash-factory image with the “Choose file” button.
Click start. Ignore all the prompts and warnings by click “yes” in all the popups.
The Wifi radios are turned off by default. To configure the router, you will need to connect your computer to the LAN port of the device.
Then you would need to write openwrt to the other partition for it to work
- First Check booted partition:
fw_printenv -n boot_part
- Change the partition:
fw_setenv boot_part 1
or
fw_setenv boot_part 2
depending on the current partition
- Then install Openwrt to the other partition if booted in slot 1:
mtd -r -e alt_kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7350-squashfs-factory.bin alt_kernel
- If in slot 2:
mtd -r -e kernel -n write openwrt-qualcommax-ipq60xx-linksys_mr7350-squashfs-factory.bin kernel

ipq60xx bootcount script include /lib/functions that produce warning
when the script is enabled on image compilation. This script is already
included by /etc/rc.common hence it's not needed.
While at it also fix the format of the switch case.
