Some people asked me how to recover a fonera, here are some methods: methode 1: Press the reset button for > 15 seconds This requires a working Fonera Sometimes it didn't work for me. methode 2: Run "rm -R /jffs/*" and pull the plug It should result in a reseted fonera methode 3: If everything fails and you killed your shell on the serial console: As soon as you see "Please press Enter to activate this console." press Enter Now you have to hurry up! Paste "cat /proc/mtd" and press Enter (even if you don't see your pasted line) You should see this list: dev: size erasesize name mtd0: 00030000 00010000 "RedBoot" mtd1: 006f0000 00010000 "rootfs" mtd2: 00560000 00010000 "rootfs1" mtd3: 00010000 00010000 "config" mtd4: 000b0000 00010000 "vmlinux.bin.l7" mtd5: 0000f000 00010000 "FIS directory" mtd6: 00001000 00010000 "RedBoot config" mtd7: 00010000 00010000 "board_config" Search for the "rootfs1" line and take the number of the beginning of the line (mtdX) Now you have to reboot again Press Enter again but now paste this line: echo -ne '\xde\xad\xc0\xde' > "/dev/mtdblock/2" Make sure you're using "/dev/mtdblock/X" (the mtdX number) Now reset it again and you should receive this message: Please press Enter to activate this console. jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): End of file system marker found at 0x0 jffs2_build_filesystem(): unlocking the mtd device... done. jffs2_build_filesystem(): erasing all blocks after the end marker... This takes some time but you should have a fresh fonera again. If this doesn't work you probably have to use a JTAG cable. methode 4: A way to recover it with a TFTP server and redboot: http://log.tigerbus.de/?p=89
