Boot Loop after Flashing FreshTomato onto RT-AC68U

[El_Memelord]

So i flashed the newest revision (2019.1) of FreshTomato ARM AIO onto my new ASUS RT-AC68U via Recovery Mode (CFE MiniWeb Server). I got the Message saying "Upload successful", then i rebooted it via the Link. However, the Router got into a boot loop. All interface indicators light up, then USB2, then just the Power LED for a minute or two and then it would repeat...
I did an NVRAM Reset, however, that did not bring me far either, still the same behaviour.
Did i miss something?
Is it because of Router incompatibility (Read that in a 7 year old thread, so i think its unlikely)?

The RT-AC1900P is identical to the RT-AC68U, Asus even uses the same firmware on both.

Tomato might be problematic because they do not support yet the newer CPU revision used these days by any devices of the RT-AC68U family (bcm4709c0).

Hmm.. interesting... so should i look for RT-AC1900P Firmware then..? DD-WRT seems to support it, might try these Versions (RT-AC1900P & RT-AC68U)

Ignore the bit about the RT-AC1900P. The point of the post was that Tomato doesn't support the CPU used in the newer models of the RT-AC68U. The older models of the RT-AC68U used a BCM4708A.

Ok, i successfully installed asus_rt-ac68u-firmware.trx, just gotta get 5GHz working...
