ok, what is the name of the firmware?
maybe she? :slightly_smiling_face:

I tried that one but was unable to obtain root access, which I need to change the remote.conf file in /system/etc

252

Then I did download a stock rom that had root access but that one didn’t have a remote.conf file for me to alter and adding one made no difference. Hand on, I’ll fingd out the name of the ROM

253

I understand you well buddy, just there you can ask this and other questions! :grin::+1:

254

Where would be a better place to ask?

256

I’ll try there, thanks

257

By the way, there is root access

258

Excellent! That’s half the issue solved LOL (I’ve just got to find out what has changed regarding remote.conf now)

Thanks @hyphop for a great job. Do you have any manual or how-to describing step-by-step converting .img files to .kresq?

I think right now, .kresq is a Backup format, It can only be obtained by burning the eMMC image to eMMC and then taking its backup in krescue, I may be wrong, but only @hyphop would know

*.img - can have absolutely diff content / format - but if its simple raw image u can just compress to *.img.gz or *.img.zst or *.img.xz - and use it in krescue

*.kresq - its not raw image format / this one special advanced container for any os

kresq generate - EXAMPLES

  • *.img.gz *.img.xz *.img.zst *.img.raw - raw/compressed backup images

Got OpenWRT installed on my VIM1, and @hyphop gave me a quick crash course on how to set it up as a Wi-Fi Router! It’s awesome, so tiny, cool and works reliably.
