Is one week now. Please, there is something I can do to fix this problem?

I will report back today.

alzhao · 2020-10-28T09:01:25.250Z

I do flashed 3.105 and Tor is working OK.
I am using cable for Internet.

@alzhao

Very good for you but this is not true for me. So again I ask, what you think I should test to give you informations to fix? (I am also using cable for internet and I talk before about nand/nor.)

alzhao · 2020-10-29T05:47:34.513Z

Several things to try:

You try a different ISP
You try an old firmware
Let me check remotely and find a way for further analysis.

Pls also tell me your location.

@alzhao

You try a different ISP

I have other Tor connection with this ISP. Can not be ISP. Problem is GL UI does freeze, can not access if do Tor.

You try an old firmware

What you recommend, what is having Tor? https://dl.gl-inet.com/firmware/ar300m/nand/testing/

Let me check remotely and find a way for further analysis.

What is this mean?

Pls also tell me your location.

Why?

Need to check remotely using anydesk or teamviewer to understand the problem.

Oh no, never allow remote access to my PC. Please, tell me files to check and ideas to try. I use same file you use. I check sum (c26…). I upload. It say success. I enter GL UI. I go Tor. I click Apply. Can not access GL UI. I asking for troubleshooting, not for someone to enter my PC.

3.105-1014

Exists two files have this name. Exact filename please?

It is the same firmware, one used for uboot, one used to upgrade in openwrt.

ponzi1 · 2020-10-29T20:44:53.124Z

Okay so what I can test?

alzhao · 2020-10-30T07:27:14.455Z

Flash a firmware without reserving settings, then use a private browser tab to try again.

@alzhao

Very strange things.

I do not touch router for one week.

I boot to router and it have firmwares 2.? !! Why can this happen? I do not upload old firmwares.

I download new firmwares from GL.iNet download center.

I upload the tar file. It tell me not valid. Why is this? In past, I was flashing .tar.

Now I try .img. Accepts file but it tell me that file is too big (15.75) becuase only available 15.63.

So many strange things. Please help me understand. I never having problems before recent when I want upgrade 3.105.

ponzi1 · 2020-11-02T06:08:55.713Z

Wow! Now I do reset and it boot back into other firmwares (3.105 not working) and not 2.x!

Was it possible I am correct about conflict NAND/NOR?

What I should do?

limbot · 2020-11-02T06:47:40.162Z

When you go to uboot do you get the option to choose either a NOR or NAND firmware? There an upload file for both.

Sorry don’t have my AR300M handy so can’t do you a screenshot …
…

Found one. Does it look like this?

More Wow. When I was in the correct firmwares (only did reboot) I try again upgrade firmwares. It is successful upgrade.

So then I go to Tor, and Tor is working the correct way.

So this is working. But Wow, so many issues.

(Did not try uboot)

alzhao · 2020-11-02T08:00:54.351Z

There are two firmwares in the router and it is really strange sometimes.

No more multiple firmwares！

ponzi1 · 2020-11-07T10:28:24.372Z

Very strange! One time it boot into one. One time it boot into other. Not good!

No more multiple firmwares！

This is good.

But I still have problem. Tor can not start now. Tor page in GL UI only say:

Initialization tor configuration

but it do nothing, nothing, after waiting a long time.

Am I only person who have problems with Tor on 3.105 on ar300m?

ponzi1 · 2020-11-08T03:03:22.465Z

@alzhao There is some way I can delete other firmwares? Small one maybe? And use this space for some other things? And not have stupid problem where boots one, or other?

alzhao · 2020-11-09T09:56:10.712Z

Do you still have problems booting different firmware? Have you ever upgrade uboot?

If you upgraded uboot uboot-for-qca95xx/bin at master · gl-inet/uboot-for-qca95xx · GitHub

It should always boot into nand if nand firmware is there.
