Openwrt-kirkwood-ea4500-rootfs.ubi via httpĬonnect to EA4500 via serial console and power it on. Based on this understanding, both EA4500 and E4200 v2 shall always have a partition with a working firmware. After three consecutive failed reboots, the router then reverts back to its former working partition and boots normally. In the event of a bad flash, the router shall obviously fail to reboot but don't despair. Note: No need for a 30/30/30 reset on this device. The former working partition becomes the new backup partition. The backup partition becomes the new working partition when the reboot was successful.

Firmware flashes occur on the backup partition and the EA4500 shall reboot from the backup partition following from a firmware flash. It boots from the working partition in normal operation. The EA4500 has a dual firmware layout: working and backup partitions.
