Unable to Uboot update AR750s with 3.105 but with can 3.104

Unable to Uboot update AR750s with 3.105 but with can 3.104. I am using .img files from http://download.gl-inet.com/firmware/ar750s/release/

Forgot to mention I think it might be related to this issue since the 3.105.img file is 16.91 MB, over 16 MB, while 3.104.img file is 15.73 MB

Yes this is a bug. As uboot has been shipped with the device you cannot upgrade it (you can but risky).

So you are advised to flash 3.104 the upgrade 3.105.

Uboot will be upgraded and shipped with new devices.

Do you know where I can get 3.104 for the AR750s Slate? I’m stuck in uboot and I can’t install any firmware as it said file too big/small.

Why do you need 3.104?

In uboot, you can flash newer firmwares, right?

I can’t, it shows an error with file being too large/small. I ran into this long time ago and think I flashed with 3.104 then upgraded from there. All firmware I get from the download site does not work.

I understood now. Have you tried upgrade the uboot itself first?

How do i upgrade the uboot?

Download the uboot for AR750s from uboot-for-qca95xx/bin at master · gl-inet/uboot-for-qca95xx · GitHub

Upgrade the uboot in uboot 192.168.1.1/uboot.html

Pls make sure you used the correct file otherwise it will brick your router.
