Firmware not found

Question:
The external file, what i upload, is it right, that i am uploading wrom pc or need from ftp address?

Yes, you have to take the file from the PC via WebIF to your Box. Witch format has your Stick ? vfat, fat32 oer EXT2 ?

I deleted the http://freetz.org/wiki/packages/lsof in the past, is it source of problem?

I think that's not the problem

 

[loczi1]

ext2 file system on usb drive.

 

[olistudent]

What's the name and the size of the file you are trying to upload to your external folder?

 

[loczi1]

name:
.external

size: 0 byte

 

[gismotro]

0 byte ? there is something wrong. Do you put anything to external ? If not, take the cross for external away.

You need external only if make menuconfig said it during the buildprozess

 

[loczi1]

I was used the make menuconfig->advanced->external and choose the packeges to creat external.

 

[olistudent]

The file should be in images/ ? Is there a file starting with external... for you?

 

[loczi1]

In image folder was the new firmware image.
Maybe in the build/modified/external folder was the externalised files.

 

[olistudent]

Can you please attach your .config? Perhaps you are not building an external file for upload!?

[olistudent]

Please select the following option: Create file for upload

Then the last step of your build should look like:

STEP 3: PACK
  checking for left over Subversion directories
  integrate freetz info file into image
packing var.tar
creating filesystem image
  SquashFS block size: 65536 (64 kB)
merging kernel image
  kernel image size: 15230208 (max: 15597568, free: 367360)

I tried to find it that you wroted: "Please select the following option: Create file for upload"
But where? In "make menuconfig" i didn't find it.

 

[gismotro]

Now i will try to tell you how to make an External.

01.) start make menuconfig
02.) take all crosses you needed in freetz
03.) put a croos to [X] Show advanced options
04.) go to Advanced options --->
05.) go to External --->
06.) put a croos to [X] Enable external processing
07.) put a croos to [X] Create file for upload
08.) put a croos to all funktions you would like to put to external

now you have to close make menuconfig ant try make to build the Image and the .External

 

[loczi1]

Thanks your help! I didn't use the show adwanced cross and i didn't find the creat upload file.

Now:

I think your Image will now work well on your Box

 

[loczi1]

I uploaded, but cant boot.

What does it mean?

WARNING: Not enough free flash space for answering machine!

When the fritz cant boot i am using the rocovery, but it's working only with
ftp://ftp.avm.de/fritz.box/fritzbox...270_16.en-de-es-it-fr.05.23.recover-image.exe

Why i can't run the FW what i made in the past and i already was running, but now i cant.

I tried with the newest update: freetz-devel-9715 withouth any modification (just the basic devel FW), and the freetz is again working.
I have to rebuild the FW and select the packages maybe once modification didn't let to boot the fritz.

 

[loczi1]

I did many FW update with dificoult FW, and now (i have no idea why) working only with no packages.

 

[gismotro]

You have build two files. The first one must be loaded out of the AVM-WebIF via update Funktion. The secound File must be load via Freetz.

 

[loczi1]

I tried with ext2 usb drive but i couldn't update the externalise (because could't write the drive)
After i formated the drive in ntfs and try it again and it was succesfull, restart and i saw the samba in the menu but the transmission not, in turn i moved in external.
I could create swap file and it's running and the samba too.

 

[loczi1]

Hi everibody!

I found the source of my problem! In the past i could running every FW withouth dect to save free space, but in the newest updates if i cross the "delete DECT files" my fritzbox can never boot again.
So I hade to test many times make 17 FW-s and uploading and restoring, but now is working with external and with samba.
Thanks your help guys!
