[SOLVED] Fritz!Box 7362 SL fail to boot

[PeterPawn]

"image2ram" is designed as a "unix filter program" ... it takes the input from STDIN (redirected or via a pipe from another process), processes it and writes the result to STDOUT.

You've to call it with an image (Freetz or "original AVM blend") on STDIN and the final result (the image ready to be written to the device with eva_to_memory) will be sent to STDOUT.

I did a firmware 6:30 in Freetz-trunk disabling DECT with integrated option in Freetz-trunk (remove-DECT) and then I followed your instructions to create image and then upload it to device but the problem persists.

[naf@manjaro eva_tools]$ ./eva_to_memory memory.image
Found AVM bootloader: AVM EVA Version 1.1904 0x0 0x740D
Found hardware revision: 203
Memory size is 0x08000000 (128 MB)
Image size is 0x2e9d08 (2 MB)
Setting temporary memory size to: 0x07d162f8
Setting temporary kernel args to: mtdram1=0x87d162f8,0x88000000
Image uploaded to device.

I never wrote, that you should use the "remote DECT" patch from Freetz ... simply 'cause I'm unaware, what it removes exactly and which values it sets. I gave you the CONFIG variable names, which are (in my opinion) the crucial ones. Did you (at least) check these values in your new image?

If I read it right, you were able to install the new image now? Your "code" box looks like this ... but I'm not sure, what's the testimony of this box should be.

Loading it to memory would install this new version (if you didn't modify the /sbin/flash_update file in the wrapper filesystem) to the flash ... the "real" result is only visible after the next restart and as long as you do not check the appropriate variables and are really sure, that they're set to the desired values, your test (or "repair" attempt) isn't completed (in my eyes).

Meanwhile I've notices, that your "image" file is only 2 MB ... that can't be the right one. I've no idea, what wents wrong ... but the new image should have about 20-22 MB in size (~18 MB FS + 4 MB Kernel - by rule of thumb).

Thanks for your time
I checked and they were disabled in rc.conf but as you say it is true there was something gone wrong so the device does not accept the firmware, I will try to figure out why later. However I have been following your first option and creating mtd3 mtd4 file with DECT disabled and the device has partially resumed operation but continuously flashing LED WLAN and I think that WLAN has problems, this explains why 5 or 6 reboot before the fritz it aligns. Later i will also disables WLAN in mtd3 and mtd4 together with Dect to see if I solve 5 0 6 reboot before aligns.
In the meantime, can anyone tell me what are the DECT and WLAN modules on the motherboard of 7362sl.
