Netgear R7800 flash fail

[vgnx]

Expected Behavior

Hello,

I'm trying to install openmptcprouter on my Netgear R7800 (Nighthawk X4S) but the firmware provided on the download page is to large.

Current Behavior

As I understand, this router has a 32Mo limit and the provided firmware' size it 48Mo.
I'm using nmrpflash to do it and I'm facing to the tftp-block-rollover-upload error.

As the firmware is available on the download page, I wonder if there is any trick to make it works.

Thank you for your help

The device should have 128MB NAND Flash and doesn't seems to have some partition limitations.
You can use: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/r7800 as flash doc. If you try OpenWRT, you can upgrade to OpenMPTCProuter if you don't keep the settings.

Thank you for your answer.
I'll give it a try and get back to you

Hello, I'm experiencing the same issue with my R7800 router. Initially, I installed the OpenWRT stock firmware from this page, and everything worked fine. However, after upgrading with the OpenMPTC firmware sysupgrade, the router became unreachable. When I connect my PC to the router, it fails to obtain an IP address. The router appears to boot normally, and the port light blinks when I plug in the cable, but my PC still cannot get an IP address and I dont know how to reach the router web page.

[Ysurac]

@Lore239 OpenMPTCProuter change ports order: WAN port is used as LAN and LANs port are used for WAN.

[Lore239]

Without modifying any configurations, these are the current interfaces. I'm unsure if this error is expected, but none of the ports appear to be functioning. I don't even see the wireless page.

[Ysurac]

A driver seems to be missing here.
Can you give me, via ssh, the result of lsmod ?

There is ath9k but not ath10k that should be here. I will check.

[Ysurac]

I added ath10k for wifi and qca8327 for switch driver. It's compiling...

[Lore239]

Thanks ❤️

[Lore239]

I installed openmptcprouter-v0.62-snapshot-6.6-r0+28194-cc69be0c13-ipq806x-generic-netgear_r7800-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin but nothing changed.
I give you also the lsmod output of latest openwrt version which works.
out-openwrt-23.05.5.txt
I hope that will help.

[Ysurac]

The image compiled yesterday ? Should be ok... I will test but this will take more time.

[Lore239]

yes, I installed the sysupgrade file from here but still the same error. Then I installed the standard OpenWRT 23.05.5 and everything works fine, I sent you the list of drivers in the hope that it can help to find maybe other missing drivers.
This is the lsmod of the snapshot v0_62-snapshot-6_6.txt
