Hi everyone,
I am an ASUS GT-AXE11000 user living in South Korea.
I'm posting this because I've hit a dead end while trying to repair my router's hardware failure, and I'm hoping to get some technical advice from the experts here.
The Situation:
My router's NAND chip had bad blocks, so I had it replaced professionally.
However, the original backup of my mtd10 (misc1 / Factory) partition seems to have bit-flips (corruption).
Even after running ubiformat /dev/mtd10 -y, when I restore my backup using nandwrite, the kernel logs immediately show error -74 (ECC error) and the system becomes unstable (freezing/reboots).
Current Status:
I am currently running the router with the mtd10 partition wiped (empty), using wl_nocal=1 in NVRAM.
The router works, but I have no LEDs and no App connectivity due to the missing board structure.
Why no RMA?
Since I am in Korea using a US unit, the shipping and inspection fees ($35+) for RMA are prohibitively expensive for me.
My Question:
Is there any way to "repair" a corrupted mtd10 image manually?
I suspect the header or the empty space padding is corrupted.
If anyone has knowledge about the structure of the GT-AXE11000's factory partition, or can point me in the right direction to fix the ECC errors, I would be extremely grateful.
(Note: I am NOT looking to clone a device. I have my original stickers with MAC/Serial and just want to restore my own router's functionality.)
Thank you.
