Enable access to uboot menu (needed in wvrtm-130acn):
- The access to uboot menu is blocked by `bootdelay = 0` set in ubootenv.
With stock firmware version 01.01.02.163 and previous, you can use CVE 2020-24365
command injection https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-24365
python3 exploit.py -t 192.168.1.1 -c "fw_setenv bootdelay 3; fw_saveenv"
Backup the stock firmware:
- Connect via uart
- Connect via ethernet and assign your pc the address 192.168.15.x/24
- Power on the device; and start typing '4' to enter uboot menu
- Set factory mode and boot
MT7621 # setenv factory 2; saveenv
MT7621 # nand read 2800000 2000000 81000000; bootm
- Telnet and copy all mtd blocks
telnet 192.168.15.1
- Copy all mtd blocks and start webserver
for N in $(seq 0 6); do dd if=/dev/mtd$N of=/tmp/eeprom_mtd$N.bin; done
mount -o bind /tmp /www
lighttpd -f /etc/lighttpd.conf
- Backup stock rootfs_data (optional)
dd if=/dev/mtd7 of=/tmp/eeprom_mtd7.bin
dd if=/dev/mtd8 of=/tmp/eeprom_mtd8.bin
- Download to your pc from http://192.168.15.1/eeprom_mtd$N.bin
Installation:
- Connect via uart
- Connect via ethernet and assign your pc the address 10.10.10.3/24
- Start a tftp server and serve the image initramfs-kernel.bin
mkdir /tmp/ftpd;
cp initramfs-kernel.bin /tmp/ftpd/kernel.bin
dnsmasq --enable-tftp --tftp-root=/tmp/ftpd
- Power on the device; and start typing '4' to halt the bootloader
- Change the active mtd partition from mtd6 to mtd5 (needed by uboot)
MT7621 # setenv mtddevnum 5; saveenv
- Write the openwrt initramfs in ram via tftp and boot it
MT7621 # tftpboot 81000000 kernel.bin; bootm
- From the initramfs create the ubi device and install openwrt via sysupgrade
ubiformat /dev/mtd11 -y
sysupgrade -n -v /tmp/sysupgrade.bin
Recovery:
Restore the stock firmware from the backup of the mtd blocks
mtd write eeprom_mtd5.bin firmware
mtd write eeprom_mtd6.bin Kernel2
mtd write eeprom_mtd7.bin Storage1
mtd write eeprom_mtd8.bin Storage2
ubiformat /dev/mtd8 -y
reboot
