Installing tch-nginx-gui on Technicolor TG-1 Bricked the Gateway about tch-nginx-gui

@FrancYescO

Can you please advise on my problem as I have set aside the router since September 26th awaiting a response on my problem.

I don't have a response for you, and I need more info about the device, maybe is a firmware v15 and pretty sure patches are needed to have it working...

If you want to retry use directly the dev version, and post a log of the install with the debug flag

[fbagnato]

Hello @FrancYescO ,

Thanks for your reply.

The device is a Technicolor TGiiNet-1 TG-1 Broadband Gateway (A TG-1 model original distributed by the Australian iiNet Internet Provider).

The firmware installed on it is version v15.53.8141-ver1.9.2.

The device is rooted.

When you say "If you want to retry use directly the dev version, and post a log of the install with the debug flag" when I ran the 1st command "curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI.tar.bz2 --output /tmp/GUI.tar.bz2" did it install the dev version?

I see that the latest version is v9.6.97. Is this the "dev" version that you speak of and if so what is the curl command to get the dev version?

Also, how do I turn the debug flag on and post a log to you?

I still haven't been able to complete the modification on my router and would appreciate your reply.

`curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf -

/etc/init.d/rootdevice debug`

Like said before with a "new" device just rooted

Hello @FrancYescO

I tried the command you provided but got an error. Is the syntax correct????

Here is the output:

root@dsldevice:~# curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf - /etc/init.d/rootdevice debug

[FrancYescO]

i updated the command up, seems there was a missing |

[fbagnato]

Thanks for your prompt reply @FrancYescO

Now when I run the command most likely it will re-brick the router as it has in the past.

Where does the debug command put the debug file you need? If it is on the router I won't be able to access it as the router will be bricked.

fbagnato

[FrancYescO]

it will just give more logs during the install, and pretty sure will go in the same "bricked" status.

as i assume you already done, you can restore the router via TFTP/reset button.

[fbagnato]

@FrancYescO,

Nope, got the following:

root@dsldevice:~# curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf - /etc/init.d/rootdevice debug

[fbagnato]

@FrancYescO,

Can I just run the official command on the main page of:

curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI.tar.bz2 --output /tmp/GUI.tar.bz2
bzcat /tmp/GUI.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf - /etc/init.d/rootdevice force debug

Just adding debug to the end of the command?

Regards,

fbagnato

[FrancYescO]

you should also replace all the three occurence of GUI.tar.bz2 with GUI_dev.tar.bz2

[FrancYescO]

1. you are using a windows shell and not the router shell
2. your command is still wrong and missing a pipe after the curl command

[fbagnato]

Hello @FrancYescO

I forgot to SSH into the router on the last command run.

Can you please provide the correct command to run.

My last attempt was the command:
curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf - /etc/init.d/rootdevice force debug

Output was:
root@dsldevice:~# curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf - /etc/init.d/rootdevice force debug

Hello @FrancYescO

Should there be a new line between two commands?

ie. should the command be:

curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf -
NEWLINE********
/etc/init.d/rootdevice force debug

yes

Hello @FrancYescO

I don't understand what I am doing wrong!

Here is the 1st command I ran:

curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf -

Here is the output from the first command:

root@dsldevice:~# curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /t
mp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | bzcat /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 | tar -C / -xvf -

Can you please provide the correct command to run?

Regards,

[fbagnato]

@FrancYescO

Do you know why the last command failed with a bzcat: bunzip error -3
tar: short read?

Does this mean there is something wrong with the GUI_dev.tar.bz2 file?

What command should I run?

Can I replace GUI_dev.tar.bz2 with GUI.tar.bz2?

I hope you can reply so that we can finally get the debug command to successfully run..

Regards,

fbagnato

[FrancYescO]

curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ansuel/gui-dev-build-auto/master/GUI_dev.tar.bz2 --output /tmp/GUI_dev.tar.bz2

Hello @FrancYescO

Finally a positive result, the commands you provided ran successfully.

Thank-you for persisting with me.

I have attached the output from the commands.

Please let me know what happens next.

Is it possible to install tch-nginx-gui on this router?
