    jffs partitions on nvram blown away. How to rebuild new partition.

    How can I recreate the asus partition and delete bad blocks in the brcmnand partition. Can someone please help?. I believe as good as merlins firmware is, I think he should have a restore jffs partition option to rebuild broken partitions. I have a brand new rt-ac88u router that I cant claim...

    RT-AC88u jffs mount problem Merlin Firmware.

    Can flash now in the os, but it gets stuck at 68% in emergency mode. Sorry for the extended problem. If I can fix the jffs "input output" error I will be fine. I have no idea what to do now other then RMAing the thing.

    RT-AC88u jffs mount problem Merlin Firmware.

    Ok I have done that, but in emergency mode. Now every firmware that I try to flash stops at 34% to 38% with a fail message. So that means I cant load dd-wrt.
