I keep being unable to change the firmware. Now I have
tried with
Ilario's XW v5.5.10-u2 and again everything looks like flashing but,
after the apparent flashing, when the router boots, it boots again
with the firmware it had.
To sum up the long story, so far I have only been able to flash this
router once. I needed to downgrade from version 5.6 to 5.5. As I could
not find the 5.5 version on the Internet I contacted Ubiquiti support.
They asked why I wanted to change the firmware, I answered because I
wanted to install OpenWRT. Then they sent me a link so that I could
download the firmware I requested. That was v5.5.6 (XW), and that is
the only firmware I have been able to install so far.
This is getting even more strange.
You have a working AirOS XW 5.5.6 and you can't upgrade it to AirOS XW 5.5.10??
Wut... This makes no sense...
Can you try the upgrade to 5.5.10 also via tftp?
Something strange is happening here, maybe Ubiquiti backported their
image signature check (evil feature present in AC serie routers) to
5.5.6 and even their own old images are not passing the signature
check??
Now when I contact them they say the do not support
nor recommend
installing OpenWRT.
They are not responsive even if you tell them that you're trying to
upgrade from their 5.5.6 to a 5.5.10 you downloaded long time ago?
I suggest to enter the #openwrt channel on IRC freenode and ask there,
or post on OpenWrt/LEDE forum.
Let us know!!
